    I forgot to share my latest NSV with you.

    I went to a baby shower Saturday, and there was homemade cupcakes, veggies and dip, nuts, chocolate covered pretzel sticks, watermelon, pistachio salad, and candy. I filled 2 small plates with veggies and little bit of dip, 1 pretzel, watermelon, mixed nuts, (just a few) 4 buttermints, (which I shared with Mr. Mo) and a small scoop of pistachio salad. I totally skipped the cupcakes!!! I didn't even feel like I was missing out because everyone that ate one, had blue lips and tongue.

    Nice! What is pistachio salad? Sounds yummy.

    Instant pistachio pudding mix is combined with whipped topping, miniature marshmallows, crushed pineapple, and nuts. This particular salad had a few too many marshmallows for me. I'm sure everyone makes theirs different, but this one was pretty good and not super heavy.

    Okay, so no judgement and all, but...salad? SALAD? How is that a salad? LOL.

    I'm young enough to have escaped all those things with Jello and Cool-Whip and marshmallows that people refer to as "salad", so I always find it kind of shocking that they still exist, hahaha.

    In America, anything can be a salad. Throw a bunch of ingredients together, add some sort of "sauce", don't cook it, and it's a salad. These were really big in the 80's when Tupperware was all the rage. Not so much anymore. I DO love me some Waldorf Salad, though.

    Hi, all,

    Just giving a quick update, as I may be in and out over the next few days. I am at my Mom's for vacation with my sister and her 2 kids who are 14 (girl) and 10 (boy). We are going to NY today and visiting the new world trade center and then maybe the village and maybe the Empire State Bldg. Then Times Square tonight and dinner. Then I booked a hotel off of central park and in the AM we'll go for a long walk in central park (I am going to run there in the AM before they get up), lunch in central park and then I got us all tickets to the Lion King. I have never seen it and am SO excited.

    I live 45 minutes from NY, used to work there daily, still go in a lot, and still get like a kid when I can go in and play tourist. I LOVE NYC!

    Will take plenty of pics to share with you all when I can get them uploaded.

    Take care... sorry have to say this... no politics and remember no swearing! (Excusing yourself or apologizing to the people who don't like it before you swear still counts as swearing...). I think we have all gotten back to a good place the last few days, let's stay there so we don't lose any of our dear friends. Thanks!

    Super jealous. I saw Lion King on tour and it was amazing. Disney puts on such a great show. I couldn't even help liking High School Musical when it came to town, and I hadn't ever seen the movie. (I had to go because of my job) Have a great time!

    I thought we were the only people who made that! My mom makes it every Christmas. She calls it "snow salad". LOL

    Marshmallows, pudding and whipped cream - yep, salad.

    Yea my sister makes that too. I love it. She also makes one with cherry pie filling (it may be the picture below) and that is super tasty too!

    My grandma made it at Thanksgiving. She called it Watergate Salad.

    Speaking of cherry pie filling - has anyone tried the dessert where you substitute all the liquid ingredients in chocolate cake with a can of cherry pie filling? This is relevant to my interests.

    Just dropping in quickly before I run off to google the official recipe for Pistachio Salad... which I MUST have!

    @pofoster21 your NYC itinerary sounds like so much fun... enjoy yourself!

    @orangesmartie thanks for checking in with the update... you're dealing with so much right now, hope it all works out for the best.

    @lilaclovebird work sounds pretty grueling, glad you can still visit us on here!

    @Lois_1989 glad the low carb has been such a success and congrats on losing 9 lbs! (and PS my father does say aluminium correctly)

    We are going camping this weekend and I have so much to do that I am stressed!!! Tonight I have to stop by the vets office and get my dogs meds, take my daughter to her swim lessons and go grocery shopping. Tomorrow night is my mom's retirement party. (Yay for Mom!!!) Thursday, we have to pick up the camper from my parents house and some time in there I have to pack and food prep. Oy!!!

    I think there might be some beer drank around the campfire.

    Also, s'mores.

    You can mix most cake mixes with pumpkin (or pureed beans if you're into protein - black beans are actually kind of awesome in brownies because the texture is very dense and fudgey), so I would imagine something pectin-y like cherry pie filling would probably work fine too (heck, there's an old Weight Watchers "recipe" where you mix diet pop with cake mix and it still works.)

    I'm not a big cherry fan (I do like fresh ones, but not so much in stuff usually) so I haven't tried it, but I've definitely done some lazy baking with pumpkin and bean and it's totally edible.

    I didn't wake up this morning in time for my run so I am retreating to the gym to get my 5 miles in. It's stupidly hot here 39 Celsius (102 fahrenheit) with 40% humidity, cannot wait to go swimming after this run.

    Edit: I can't spell...

    Since around the first of May I hadn't really logged food, I just logged in to keep my log-in streak, I lost nothing and actually put on a couple so I'm back to actually logging
    CONFESSION #1
    I've also been logging on the MFP site(360 days straight as of today) but not logging my food most of the time. Since Feb I've put on about 12 lbs and have only recently started logging my food and getting serious about getting this weight off. In the past 2 weeks I've lost 6 lbs and several inches.
    CONFESSION #2
    I've followed this thread since day 1, missing some days occasionally, but usually going back to catch past posts. This month, since trying harder to lose this weight I've been behind a lot. I just got caught up today, by skipping some of the pages in early July.

    It is really weird looking at the BMI scale and seeing I would be considered obese if I just gained 35 or so more pounds... when right now I'm in the normal range. 35 pounds doesn't seem like that much (of course I don't want to test that out).

    Until you're doing walking lunges holding that much :(

    Anytime I want to over do it with food I should force myself to walk around carrying weights so I can remind myself that I don't want to gain any more.

    :s

    If you can manage to keep it to a reasonable portion, the black bean brownies etc are actually pretty doable and have passable macros for most people, if you care - I used to make them on 1200/day all the time and eat them for breakfast, haha. Depends on the mix you buy, obviously, but still.

    Mix the pumpkin one with spice cake or similar.

    I am normally a pretty big baking snob with everything from scratch and best-quality and all that nonsense, but it goes out the window if I just want to eat something sweet and not share it with anyone. I'm also the queen of making myself one single cookie. Just one. In the toaster oven.

    Except for crayon and coupon (q-pon), I pronounce each of those words interchangeably. I guess it depends on my mood or something.

    I also randomly bust out with a fake British accent. :)

    Doesn't every non-British person? I assume British people will bust out fake American or Canadian accents too.

    I would think that is how Hugh Laurie got the role of House. Frequent random practice.

    Whenever he was on a late night show my jaw dropped whenever I realized he was actually from England.

    My sister was the one who said "You gotta watch this interview with Hugh Laurie!" I was like okay whatever... I went to sit in the chair as she hit play and I missed and fell on the floor! :lol:
    Like, REALLY?! He's from ENGLAND?! :astonished:

    Go back and watch Friends episode "The One With Ross's Wedding Pt. 2. He's sitting next to Rachel on the plane. He has his accent.

    OMG, I thought about that exact same thing when someone mentioned Hugh Laurie

    Hugh Laurie is a legend. In his younger years he was in a comedy called Black Adder and it's my absolute favourite.
    Also FYI he is a brilliant singer and musician. <3
    I saw him and his band a few years back! Before that I had no idea he did music....and I have never watched House, but I see it is on Netflix!

    Instant pistachio pudding mix is combined with whipped topping, miniature marshmallows, crushed pineapple, and nuts. This particular salad had a few too many marshmallows for me. I'm sure everyone makes theirs different, but this one was pretty good and not super heavy.

    Okay, so no judgement and all, but...salad? SALAD? How is that a salad? LOL.

    I'm young enough to have escaped all those things with Jello and Cool-Whip and marshmallows that people refer to as "salad", so I always find it kind of shocking that they still exist, hahaha.

    In America, anything can be a salad. Throw a bunch of ingredients together, add some sort of "sauce", don't cook it, and it's a salad. These were really big in the 80's when Tupperware was all the rage. Not so much anymore. I DO love me some Waldorf Salad, though.

    Waldorf Salad has actual produce in it and is really yummy!

    It is really weird looking at the BMI scale and seeing I would be considered obese if I just gained 35 or so more pounds... when right now I'm in the normal range. 35 pounds doesn't seem like that much (of course I don't want to test that out).

    Until you're doing walking lunges holding that much :(

    Anytime I want to over do it with food I should force myself to walk around carrying weights so I can remind myself that I don't want to gain any more.

    I know it doesn't sound like much, but I wouldn't want to carry a 35lb kettle bell around with me all the time. :wink:
    True that! I used to get 4 x 4 liters of water from the grocery store before I had it delivered. One time they ripped the bags I was carrying because they were so heavy. Just looked up how much weight that was and (according to that calculator) 16 liters of water = 35 pounds! It was a huge burden and I would ache like crazy after getting home. Thinking back... yep, I definitely don't want to gain 35 pounds.

    I forgot to share my latest NSV with you.

    I went to a baby shower Saturday, and there was homemade cupcakes, veggies and dip, nuts, chocolate covered pretzel sticks, watermelon, pistachio salad, and candy. I filled 2 small plates with veggies and little bit of dip, 1 pretzel, watermelon, mixed nuts, (just a few) 4 buttermints, (which I shared with Mr. Mo) and a small scoop of pistachio salad. I totally skipped the cupcakes!!! I didn't even feel like I was missing out because everyone that ate one, had blue lips and tongue.

    I thought we were the only people who made that! My mom makes it every Christmas. She calls it "snow salad". LOL

    Marshmallows, pudding and whipped cream - yep, salad.

    Yea my sister makes that too. I love it. She also makes one with cherry pie filling (it may be the picture below) and that is super tasty too!

    My grandma made it at Thanksgiving. She called it Watergate Salad.

    Speaking of cherry pie filling - has anyone tried the dessert where you substitute all the liquid ingredients in chocolate cake with a can of cherry pie filling? This is relevant to my interests.

    Yes, I have made cherry chocolate dump cake. I've also made it with blueberry pie filling and apple spice dump cake. (apple pie filling and a spice cake mix). When I need a quick dessert, it's my go to item. If I am cooking it over a campfire in a Dutch oven, I add a can of sprite. It gets too dry if I don't. Hope that helps and doesn't totally wreck your diet,

    "Aluminium" is hard to say. I say it like the usual American: ALUMINUM. :tongue:

    My mom and my high school chemistry teacher were friends. Just because I knew it made Doc crazy I said, "alum in um".

    Edit because I can't type today.
