Ok 2nd day and I did very well yesterday. We shook up two divine special cocktails before dinner and then I was done. I shopped today and bought 4 jugs of diet cranberry juices to sustitute for my wine and will use my most lovely stemmed glasses. I bought a month of HBO on Amazon and I'll distract myself with GoT. Thank…

Ok checking in daily like I promised myself. Celebrated a work promotion for a friend so failed at abstaining but did stop short of the usual! AND didn't drink when I got home. Go me! Thanks for letting me visit and post! (AND I logged the calories Poo)

I've been drinking pretty heavily and daily too. Not proud of it. I will add to my daily planner to check here and see if I can break this cycle. Thank you

No guarantee I will visit boards to comment but I will commit to the same and know that someone out there is right with me! Sharing your struggle!

I throw apples in the skillet with pork chops and onions, and also when I roast sweet potato or butternut squash and pumpkin. So good and brightens up roast veg.

I like that! What is your WHY power. I never thought of it that way. Thank you!

Just for today: No alcohol.

not sure how many times this has already been mentioned, but the sex is so much easier and better.

Just for today: 1) be patient with the puppy 2) no snacking and snitching after supper 3) Count my blessings

Occasionally I play "chopped" with whatever ingredients I find left over in the fridge or pantry. Usually is pretty fun and since I only buy what I like, it is usually good!

beans and legumes fit that need as well. Use washed canned beans in your salads.

I love this as an extra! Pizza when I want pizza and this type treat for other times! I have all this at hand!

This is brilliant... but I would definately drink the whole bottle every time!

thank you!

Just a quick FYI on all these pumpkin + cake mix recipes....and others. You can fold in 2 or 3 well beaten egg whites into the mix to add tons of extra volume and fluff... makes rather dense muffins into lovely light cupcake texture.. and will make 10 muffins into 12 or more which really cuts down your calories but you…

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA... too funny

best presentation of a recipe I've ever seen. Thank you! I expect I'll be trying this. Thank you so much!

I've felt this way and I've let it go on for a couple months. I am not the sort who has to figure out the why but I am the sort to beat myself up for the bad results. I have gained back a few and be extremely poor about logging. Part for me was that the new and shiny had worn off the plan. It wasn't a fresh adventure so I…

now I want dinner at Wolfman's house

Shrimp Taco

Beets... roasted or harvard sauced. So pretty and bright pink on your Easter plate. Cauliflower too is lovely with ham. I completely agree with the sweet potatoe too mashed or baked. At our house it isn't Easter without asparagus too.

Hi there... I hear you girl! I sometimes feel like my whole day revolves around what I am going to eat next. But there is hope. If food is important to you then like me, it may always be important. So I just changed what I keep at the house and what is within arms reach... So at night I can't eat cookies all night, I can…

These look lovely and so different from the kinds of dishes I normally make! Thank you so much for such originality!

I bake most all the bread, rolls and buns used at our house. I love it, and once you get your own style and recipe down pat you can whip it up in no time. I just had to cut back when I wanted to drop the weight. But I'll always choose homemade over store bought which runs $4 a loaf for the good stuff. YIKES who can afford…

BWAHAHA.. I did a search for HAM and CROCKPOT and found a thread with zero responses! hmmmm seems dinner tomorrow is not going to be as fabulous as I'd hoped!

Today is the best day to start anything!!!! TODAY! I love the phone app... stick to it like glue to get started and you will be successful!

If you have ever left your Bisquick too long in the pantry and it has hatched.... You'll never eat it again. I may try these! Even if they don't taste like a scratch pancake they may be a fun breakfast. Thanks!

I had no idea how popular squash and curry was. That sounds delicious. Definately on the try list!

oh and lentils... a curry dish with lentils would make my day!

I tried it some years ago and I had horrible side effects. Heart palpatations and raised blood pressure... All seemed to be typical of caffine overdose but with me it got as far as blurred vision, hearing impairment and dizziness. It was awful.... Nausea and the works. And I was only taking the one pill starter…
