For those of you fighting the daylight savings time tiredness, try this next spring...............let my husband come over and set all your clocks..............BACK! He teaches Sunday School, guess they didn't have a teacher today.:laugh: Sorry to hear that some of you are having to deal with the health issues of loved…

Well, I'm back from a week of travels and I am not even going to try to read all the posts since I left! I think we were on page 3 of this thread when I left! I really enjoyed the womens confrence in Tulsa last weekend. Went with about 25 ladies from our church, heard some great speakers, wonderful music (Amy Grant…

:laugh: It tried to post twice, so I erased the second one. It won't let you post "an empty post" and it doesn't give you option to delete so you get this!:laugh:

Bump for when I get back from my travels. Lets see, I will be "off the grid" (I won't have my laptop, just my smart phone so I will be be logging) for 1 week. We are on page 1 now. I am predicting page15 by the time I get back! Have a great week everyone, good luck with your goals, and as DeeDee would say, DRINK THAT…

Love, love, love, the ode to Dr Seuss! That made me smile. I haven't been on here for awhile, been active with my logging, just been doing it from my phone and unfortunately you can't access the community boards from a mobil app. :frown: I hope everyone is doing well. We have had snow and ice here and they are talking…

Good evening ladies! This evening was our monthly dinner with my DH's family. Each month we pick a place to meet for dinner. This month it was Rib Crib. Do you realize that they do not post their nutitional information? I even went to the corporate website. I thought you had to have that available. :grumble: I tried to…

Hello everyone! Hope you all have had a great day. Mine got much better when I found out that our new grandson finally got to go home!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I know his mommy and daddy were ready to get him home (and sleep in there own bed!) and I am sure he was tired of being poked and prodded too! I…

Breakfast: Light and Fit Yogurt with peaches and blueberries Lunch: Hummus, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and greek olive wrap Celery sticks Cherry tomatoes Dinner (Valentine banquet at our church): Salad with sliced almonds, raspberries, and raspberry vinegarette Asparagus Carrots Bread stick (wish they hadn't put that on…

I'm in. I am ahead of the game. I have my vegetables already to use in the fridge and a menu planned. My "problem meal" will be tommorrow night. We are going to our church Valentines banquet and I have seen the menu. I will just do my best! I would like to add that, for what ever reason, this challenge has truely been…

Hi ladies! Wanted to share a recipe with you that I tried this week. It is different from anything that I had tried in the past and I really liked it and even more surprising was the fact that my husband liked it! This is the original recipe: Ingredients 2 c farro – cooked 1 c tomato – diced 1 c cucumber – seeded and diced…

Kitt Pitt, you have already joined by posting. Everyone is welcome, even me! :laugh: Just jump in, you will be accepted as is! Lori H Southwestern Missouri

Hello everyone! Just checking in with you guys for a little dose of insparation! I have been trying to keep up with you guys and read (ok, skimmed) most of the post since I was last here. This past week has really been a roller coaster for me. As some of you know, our first grandbaby was born last Thursday :happy: but on…

I have been AWOL for the last few days. I haven't had time to read everyone's post this month because I've been becoming a grandma. It was a long labor for her that finally ended in a c-section. Yesterday they had to take the little guy to NICU, and he will have to be there for several days. He should be fine but it is…

I'm here for just a minute. First, I'M A GRANDMOTHER!!!! Caleb was born at 1:55 this morning. His poor mommy was soooooooo tired. Over 24 hours of labor, and still ended up with a c-section. I worked all day today on less than 4 hours sleep. I'm heading to bed early tonight. Second, I just ate a bowl full of gooey…

Well, still no grandbaby!:grumble: We had the full moon this past weekend and I just knew that would tip things but it didn't. Tomorrow, we are in for a big weather change. If that doesn't do it, she's out of time. Induction will be Wednesday. I am happy to say that the scale was down another pound this morning. I pick…

Epic fail today! Will try another day. I didn't do a good job planning for the day so very few veggies today. Boo!

Don't have much time, just dropping in for a minute. I have had a good week, busy, but good. I taught my cooking classes this week (3 classes) and everyone seemed to have a really good time. For those participating, it took about 2 to 2 1/2 hours and they left with 5 main dishes and 1 side dish for the their freezers. I,…

I'm in again! I even have my husband joining in!

For those of you who were interested in my hummus/vegi wrap, it is really quite simple! I discovered several weeks ago a tortilla from LaTortilla Factory called Smart & Delicious. It is a high fiber (7 g), low carb (10 g) whole wheat tortilla and it only has 50 calories per tortilla. I take 1 of those, spread about 2…

Just came across this acrostic and wanted to share: EAT LESS CRAP: C-carbonated drinks R-refined sugars A-artificial sweeteners and colors P-processed foods EAT MORE FOOD: F-fruit and vegetables O-organic lean protein O-omega 3 fatty acids D-drink water The more I am paying attention to my body, the more I realize just how…

Ok ladies, I have participated in Renny's fruit and vegetable challenge all 3 Saturdays so far and I have to tell you, it has really made a difference in how I feel and what I eat the rest of the week! I am now a big fan of my hummus and vegi wrap that I came up with and I have been amazed at how much less hungry I have…

It's the end of a very successful day. Fruit, yogurt, and granola for breakfast. Big salad for lunch. A hummus and vegi wrap and 5 bean salad for dinner. And celery and peanut butter as my snack in the evening. When you consider that I also made 6 cakes, went out for lunch, and went to a meeting this evening where the only…

Hey, look at that! I did it right! :laugh:

Not sure if I did this right, trying to respond to Katla. When your blood sugar drops too much (and you don't have to be diabetic for that to happen) you can become VERY grumpy! My 3 signs of low sugar all come at once, shakey hands, very crabby, and feel like I could cry with ablsolutely no reason. It's the crying part…

I'm in again. I have discovered that the more fruits and vegetables that I include, the better I feel. Too bad it has taken me almost 53 years to discover this! I have also learned that I like vegetable and hummus wraps!

Hope everyone has had a good week! I am rather proud of myself, I ate out twice and made good choices both times! I am ready for Renny's fruit and vegi challenge tomorrow too! I have some rather good incentive to keep this up, my first grandbaby is due any time now and when mom goes back to work (she has 10 weeks off) I…

I did pretty good today, other than breakfast, that is! It was very nice of my husband to fix breakfast today. Unfortunately it didn't exactly fit the description of fruits and vegetables! He was so proud of himself. He baked the bacon, poached the egg, and cooked the hashbrowns in a non-stick skillet so he didn't add…

Just thought I would do a quick post. We are having freezing rain here and I'm afraid we might lose power. I pretty good with Renny's fruits and vegetable challenge (well, except for the breakfast!) and I credit these types of challenges for getting me to look closer at WHAT I am eating and not just the calories. It has…

My plan for today was to take on Renny's fruit and vegetable challenge. Got up this morning to find that my sweet husband had made me bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. He was so proud of himself! He had baked the bacon, poached the eggs, and cooked the hashbrowns in a non-stick skillet. What do you do? You eat your breakfast!…

I'm in again!
