    Hey! Lo Carbers!:wink:
    Didja all have a good day back at the old grind today?
    I had a great weekend, but no loss last week. :grumble: It will go - soon I hope.
    Tonight's dinner is a
    Chinese chicken salad -
    half bag lettuce shreds
    half bag coleslaw
    half bag broccoli slaw
    pea pods
    red pepper, sliced
    sliced almonds
    2 cooked chicken breasts - boneless, skinless, chopped, marinating in Kraft sesame dressing
    Toss it all together, using the dressing from the chicken (since it was precooked) add more if you need to.
    Serves 2 starving big eaters!
    :bigsmile:

    That salad sounds FANTASTIC!!!

    Do you mind if I steal it?

    Go for it.
    I also add some red pepper flakes to make it more spicy. Hubby sometimes adds crunchy noodles, but it's fine without because of all the crunchy stuff.
    The actual dressing is Kraft Light Asian Sesame.
    enjoy!:bigsmile:

    Hello.

    After examining my meals for the past week, I decided to cut out the nasty carbs again. It's amazing how fast they creep up and get to an insane level. I think that may have been what's stalling my weight loss once again.

    Yesterday was supposed to be my day 1, but we had a power outage and ended up having take out from a buger place. Yuck!!

    Tonite's Dinner is chicken breast, mashed fauxtatoes, and a salad. HUGE improvement over yesterday's.. Hahah.

    Hope everyone is having a great day so far!!

    Hi and welcome!!!

    When we had power outages a couple of weeks ago, I did the burger thing and asked for it with no bun, just ate the burger, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and mustard.

    Well tomorrow we start moving and my house is a disaster area right now. Plus all of my food is in boxes so I'm eating frozen and cold stuff right now which is a good thing. Maybe I'll adapt to not eating out of a box!! :happy: Hope everyone has a great day! I'm off to eat a yummy salad with hard boiled egg and tomato...my favorite!!

    Hi everyone. I keep popping in here today - but getting interrupted by work :grumble: This week has been absolutely insane. I almost fell asleep going home last night - and it was only 5:20!! Tues and Wed were the busiest days we've had so far. I think it will start to taper off now a little - it has slowed down to a reasonable pace today! However, the stress eating and donuts around the corner have sabatoged me! I'm trying not to be too hard on myself though - part of me wants to just throw in the towel and the other part wants to beat me up! I'm trying to hold the middle ground - successful so far!!

    Today in baby girl's last day of pre-school - so we may go out for icecream tonight to celebrate. Can't believe it's over already! Glad though - the ballet, school, putting up with MIL's shenanigans (she took her to preschool and ballet - when she wasn't sick or just out of sorts with FIL and/or dh!) was getting tiresome. I'll probably be just as relieved when school starts next fall though! :laugh:

    Chrys - good luck with the move!! Hope all goes well for you.

    Calie - glad you're doing well since you got out of the hospital! We're pullin for ya girl :flowerforyou:

    Lioness - hope all is well in your corner of the world.

    Georg - that salad sounds amazing!! I'll have to print that sometime :tongue:

    I have a potluck at work both Monday & Tuesday.
    I'm taking green salad with lots of yummy Parmesan curls, crumbled bacon, cukes & tomatoes. Then I washed up some beautiful strawberries, sliced cantaloupe & grapes.
    I'll be able to easily resist the grapes & melon.
    :wink:
    Have a good week!

    Good afternoon everyone.

    I am going to a Naturopathic Dr tomorrow morning to find out if I have hypothyroidism or an Adrenal gland problem.

    I have stopped losing weight again and it is so frustrating. There is something else going on in my body that is really weird.

    I have more energy, so I am staying with my eating plan no matter what!! Feeling good is very important to me.
