V eggie kabobs on the Barbie tonight. Yum.

Hello everyone. I gained weight again this week so my food diary today is back on track. I just hope restricting so much isn't setting myself up for a binge. I do need to stop making upside down cupcakes LOL Barlovo, I'm sorry to hear all you are going through. Sounds like you are being gentle with yourself and know the…

and one dirty burner

lmao, I guess I should have looked at the picture after posting it.

I wish I could help Liz, I actually did a lot today in the kitchen, much more than the hours I logged but I can't imagine I burned more than 580 for 6 hrs in the kitchen cleaning and cooking and baking. I normally don't exercise but know I should. Walking is way too painful for me. I need a total knee replacement plus the…

Home made banana muffins with homemade buttercream frosting. 120 just the cupcake. 240 calories with frosting.

Hair guts? Now you have to laugh at that Cindy. Lol. Siri mocks me.

Cindy. Throw some sun glasses on top of your head and push the bangs back. Everyone looks cool with sunglasses like that. Lol. I agree with Julia , the color looks good with your brows. I've had hair guts I didn't like too and walked out crying. Sometimes you just have to keep telling yourself it will grow back. I take…

Oh and I couldn't eat 5 candy bars. Lol. That would make me sick. I can eat 5 mini ones though. One time in my life I did go to 4 different fast good places. I wasn't embarrassed though but I did want different things. I can even tell you what I ate that day. Chili cheese fries from del taco, Burger King a chocolate…

Noodle. Thank you so much. My therapist said to eat real food instead of cakes n candies but you are so right. If I had 5 mini bags of popcorn I would probably stop there and that would only be 500 calories vrs 1500 or more. It makes sense. I've looked up volumetrics before but really didn't pay attention to it. I will…

Thanks Noodle :)

Cindy. I'm glad you got some much needed rest. Workout motivation. Yesterday was a big day with delivery of a new hutch and moving things around so I'm just cooking and relaxing today. Back I. My working days at one time I worked the 4 to midnight shift. I didn't get to bed until. 2 am by the time I made it home. That was…

Barb. You have a good plan to put in motion. How great you get to travel like that. I would get my luggage with wheels. Lol. You will do fine. Hope you have a fabulous time.

Lol ladies. That's why I'm fat. I cook and bake too much. I use to own a restaurant and it's a hobby of mine. I'm having to learn how to cook lightly now and revamp my recipes. Thank you. You make me smile.

As everyone can see I love to cook. If you want any specific recipe and I have written it down I will look for it :) Just send me a message.

Curry brown rice and Loquat Salad

My fresh garden basil lasagna

chicken chili cheese casserole

Mock chicken noodle soup. I call it that because it's vegetarian. It has veggie chicken in it and noodles, green beans in a veggie broth with onions, garlic salt and pepper and flour to thicken it.

The above is brown rice cooked. Black peas with stewed tomatoes and power greens. You can add curry to the rice for more flavor. It was very good.

Yummy Matzo ball soup, just follow package directions for Matzo balls. Make a broth with carrots and greens maybe add chicken if you want. So delicious filling and not too many calories.

Wow Noodle, I'm trying that recipe. Looks very good.

Great quotes everyone. The last one here Liz about day and and day out is a great one. Consistency is key. Cindy; I like the 'I will beat her' one, yes I know my weakness and strength, that gives me the advantage.

NK; Last week I set myself up for a binge, not drinking enough water, not eating all my protein and fiber. If I don't drink at least 8 glasses of water a day I'm very hungry. It really does help. When I don't feel like room temperature water, hot tea with stevia in it helps get in the water too. Just remember for each cup…

Thanks QT and Liz, you all are my support. I couldn't do this without you. Thanks for being there for me. Cindy; Thank you very much for your support. I appreciate you! Barlovo, I second what QT said; there is no time frame on grief. I have lost many loved ones and still ask myself now and then why they had to go so soon,…

It's really pretty, congrats!
