Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Banana nut cake with cream cheese frosting.
I had a bean/oat burger with BBQ sauce(YUM) and Italian herb bread and a mix of onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes.
I think I will have the same thing tomorrow night it was super.
home made chocolate chip cookies, done!
Forgot to make dinner, so frozen vegetable lasagne is almost done.
Love shopping at Smart N' Final, where your restaurant shops.
I really don't have a bucket list...will be making it up as I go along. Would not want to leave anything undone, lying around on a list for family to find.
Tomorrow will be take-out. I don't usually cook on the nights I work!
I had beans, cheese and crackers, and lemon yogurt.
I am not cooking dinner tomorrow. YAY!!!
DH learned that Chik-Fil- A. Has changed all their chicken to all natural, no hormones, no antibiotics. So he wants some and so that is what they 3 will have for dinner tomorrow night, Lord willing.
I have only found one chicken at Aldi's that he can eat.
Me I will have Taco Bell, however I am slightly disappointed that they removed my favorite veggie power menu burrito. :( So I am not sure what I will get now.
So yay, will only have to cook breakfast.
We picked up a pizza to bake at home tonight from PaPa Murphy's and it really hit the spot.
They had some cheeseburger macaroni, sweet corn, salads, and cherry cobbler.
I had a salad and some smoked Gouda and rice crackers, and yup a little cobbler.
Didn't eat enough protein today for sure and I am feeling it now.Forgot to cook some beans in time.
We are having homemade alfredo with Italian sausage and grilled peppers, cheesy garlic bread. Coconut cream pie for desert. Kinda pie. I busted the graham cracker crust in the pudding and now its mixed in.
Note: never use your pie crust to hold divided ingredients and then dump them out. All that butter makes that sucker slippery.
took me nearly 3 weeks to lose 1 1/2 lbs which I probably gained back this weekend 😬
I'm aiming for 10 lbs by December which would put me at what my drivers license states which is up for renewal in January
I learned something new today. Did you or anyone else here know that Chinese TOGO containers are made the way they are so that you can unfold them and use them as a plate? I sure had no clue.
I remember when my Dad taped a 5 dollar bill (high up) on the wall in our dining room, every time my Mom lost a pound, back when she was seriously dieting (the 70's), now that was some Big Bucks incentive. Thanks for your support everyone, I am scared spitless to get on that scale in the morning and take a picture of it! Thankfully Only the Diet Administrator (my chunky Niece) will see the pix or know my weight, baring some sort of cyber attack, lol!
I can see it now, "Oops Aunty Stacey, I accidentally posted your pix on the FB messenger", which is how we are conducting this Diet Challenge. It is really neat how every time one of the diet group posts something, the FB messenger icon pops up on your screen, so there really is great support and everyone can see it!
It is nice though, seeing plans forming for exercise buddies, invites to Zumba classes and swim classes, walking down on our waterfront, and recipe and diet tips being posted already, and this thing only began forming online two days ago, and it begins tomorrow!
Dieting is definitely easier when you've got a buddy system, plus its already been discussed that there will be no shaming of those who give up or do poorly along the way. Thank God!
Tomorrow it’s back to the Birds Eye cauliflower rice (which is very good!) and a little protein (tuna steak or chicken).
If you haven’t tried Birds Eyes Mashed Cauliflower with Roasted Garlic, you’re missing a treat. My husband thought he was eating mashed potatoes.
is that 3% of your reduced weight each month or of the original starting weight ?
A 50 dollar buy in, to lose 3% of your boydy weight each month. So there are about 18 of us signed up so far starting tomorrow, Me included, UGH! What have I gotten myself into? Lol!
Wall, I definitely need to lose a bunch of pounds, so hopefully this will be Motivating factor, plus it will be a lot of fun encouraging each other along the way! Wish me Luck!
I had veg. lo mein, lots of broccoli(DH gets beef & Broccoli and I eat the broccoli, he eats the beef, works out great), fried rice with general Tao sauce all over it. Yummy!
Mom had sweet n sour chicken, veg lo mein, rice, and some cream puffs and orange cake.
DH had beef & Broccoli, chicken & broccoli, rice and lots of little coffee cakes he loves, AB had beef & spicy garlic sauce, and lots of deserts
Wont be having chinese again until my birthday in December. We always over due it, but it is sooooo good.
Do not be afraid of baking your own bread. We do it all the time, you too can do it.
