    it is such a delight in reading all of your posting Gang. I just had a banana milk shake for breakfast. Wish I had put a T of peanut butter in it and it would really have been a super duper. oops just realize I do not have any peanut butter in the house. Better put it at the top of my grocer list. So its FBI someone need to find out what FBI stands for us misfit

    Marie..I enjoy your humongous spin on everything. :) It may be gout..have you had a lot of spicy foods? I think that is one of the culprits.

    Good afternoon, everyone

    Stephanie-I have been putting pico da gio, grapes, jalapenos, green pepper, and a little bit of bacon bits,also lean ham if I want it more filling. I dont hardly ever put cheese on my salads anymore, the calories add up quick. I like the baby tomatoes too. I use ground turkey alot for my tacos, it is pretty good, I also make meatloaf with ground turkey.

    Hey Gang. What a pleasure to see you here. It just gets busier over there everyday!!!

    Guess I want to be a Special Agent in this group, my husband was a Special Agent with the RR.

    I got some Perdue's ground chicken yesterday at Kroger and I thought it was much better than the ground
    Turkey that I usually get. I think I will try a meatloaf with it soon. The turkey after I freeze it is so tough and
    this was not at all.

    Stephanie, Knowing you you, you will make something great for dinner that will please all of your family.
    I think you have a knack for creating great food dishes.

    Marie, Hope you get that Big Toe under control, you don't need any gout to deal with.

    Connie, You probably need a rest day from the Challenge!!!


    Question: Does all protein powders have a lot of Tyrosine and Tryptophan in them. I can't
    use protein powder on a daily basis if it contains a lot of those ingredients as it will really mess with
    me. They might just be a natural ingredient in protein powders???

    See you soon.

    Nancy

    nancy I tried one of those healty choice steamer Was real good and no gluten either so it says. But oh the sodium I forgot about the sodium . I bought 2 but will not eat the other one Will stick to fresh veggies
    fresh fruit, fresh meat. milk shakes I had my shoes on to go to the store and when we got home my feet felt like when you sit on your hand and fall asleep My feet is still swollen up very bad. even taking my water pills. I guess my shoes cut the circulations off.

    Just in case I turn up missing here You can PM Alice on my friends list. she is one of the first on my list. not looking for anything to happen to me but at my age it could anytime.

    @slw19 interpol lol I love it!

    @eyegirl777va I look at the protien powder I use and it has it but it is the very last ingredient so it probably isn't that much. It is called Designer Whey.

    @slw19 I like purple cabbage cucumber broccoli red apples and bell peppers. Sometimes dried blue berries or cranberries and pecans.

    There are some good ideas on the other board. I ma using a water app now and it's pretty cool. It tells you how many oz. I need to drink for my weight and reminds me every couple of hours to drink waterwith the sound of a glass of water being poured.

    good evening team,

    so taco Tuesday was an overall success. my son was so happy and is currently in my backyard roasting marshmallows and making s'mores, oh to be 12 :) So, I made the turkey in a pan on the stove and once browned, separated out 3-4 oz for me and 1/2 of what was left for my hubby, and seasoned the rest for the boy. I put out chopped lettuce, avocado, salsa, cheese, tomatoes, guacamole, corn, chips and taco shells. my daughter is happy with guac, corn and cheese in her tacos.

    I made the most delicious salad. I used spinach, tomatoes, green onion, avocado, cucumber and ground turkey. I topped with 4 tbsp. of salsa and I mixed 2 tbsps. of plain greek yogurt with garlic salt and pepper and made some sour cream. it was so good and satisfying, I would definitely make again!! greek yogurt is so versatile.

    hope everyone has a good night!!

    ps, don't be surprised to read this on the 4th thread as I only have so much to say, haha!

    Marie I hope your feet get better soon, and your toe. I've had a problem with my feet swelling for many years. I have hyperhidrosis, mostly of the feet and hands, so I think the swelling is related to that somehow. The worst is if it happens while I'm sitting for a while when out somewhere, they swell too large for my shoes and make it so hard and painful to walk.
