There is a recipe I make for my diabetic husband & friends at church: sugar-free white chocolate pudding, grape-nut cereal, & Cool Whip. You just add the milk the pudding calls for & the other ingredients & you have a lo-cal dessert. Then I saw a cute recipe yesterday on FB: pitas cut into Christmas tree shapes, with a…

I lost my daughter, Brandis, 14 yrs ago when she was 17, in a car accident. I can tell you that time does help you to be able to live with it. I would also tell you that one thing that really helped me & my husband was joining a support group for bereaved parents. It was so good to be able to meet with other parents who…

Great way to think about it! It IS a scary day for us trying to lose lbs.:noway: We can enjoy one day without getting totally side-tracked. For example, this past Fri nite we went to a wonderful buffet with some church friends & I ate without totally pigging out. I did eat a couple sweets, but it didn't destroy my week. I…

Love my gym!:heart: I got lucky & a Planet Fitness opened up near me & it's only $10 mo. I don't have room for a lot of equipment, did have a treadmill which I gave to my daughter. At the gym I can do something different each day & there are no distractions or hubby wanting me to do something else or TV or internet. Just…

I have a full day of cleaning to do here today. Been kinda slacking on that lately, but now family will be at my house for Thanksgiving so I HAVE to get on the ball. Cleaning house is not one of my strong points, cooking is my passion. I love to find new recipes & try them out on my family. Right now gettin ready to head…

Well, we got a bit of bad news yesterday morning---my hubby's cousin died of a heart attack.:cry: He was the same age as us, 55. My hubby was pretty upset cuz this cousin lived close by & they still went to car shows & did things together & he had just talked on the phone to him a couple days ago. It makes you realize we…

I am in! I have been worrying about how I will do over the holidays. I especially dread all the Christmas cookies & sweets because that is my weakness! Maybe all of us encouraging each other we can handle all these temptations coming up. Let's DO this!
