Wow, I think you are one of a handful of people that didn't go absolutely off the deep end with Halloween candy!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

Congrats for joining the challenges. You can lose the weight! And I bet after those 10 lbs are gone, those jeans will fit just fine!

When I have to make something for a party, I always make something I don't like (like chocolate cake) so I won't be as tempted... How did you do at the food fest?

Hi Magical Mom!

I hope you are feeling better.

I think joining those challenges are a great idea. You can do it!!

 

[MagicalMom]

Thanks for all of the well wishes! I'm starting to feel much better. This cold just wants to hang on forever! I did pretty well at the feast at work. There was so much food there that I got stuffed just looking at it! We'll do it again in 2 weeks for Thanksgiving. Huh! Hope I can make it though the holidays!

I just realized that I forgot to post the eclaire cake recipe. I'll have to find it & hopefully will have it posted by tomorrow. It real easy, no-bake.

Now I just need to get back in to the "working-out groove." I've been feeling so yucky that I haven't accomplished much in the last couple of weeks.

The recipe, about time huh?

ingredients: 20 whole graham crackers
2 cups cold milk
1 pkg (6 serv. size) Vanilla instant pudding
1 3/4 cups thawed cool whipped topping
cholocate frosting

Line 13 x 9 in pan with graham crackers. Pour cold milk into bowl. Add pudding mix. With electric mixer at low speed, beat until blended. Let the mix stand for 5 minutes. Then blend in whipped topping. Spread 1/2 of the mixture over the crackers. add another layer of crackers. Top with the remaining mixture and add remaining crackers. Chill for 3 hours. Carefully spread frosting over top layer of graham crackers.

Of course you would use all low fat products.

Mmm, that sounds yummy! And not too bad on the calories either, especially with Cool Whip Free, SF pudding and skim milk! Thanks for sharing!

Oh that recipe sounds awesome!!!! I have made eclairs over a campfire but this is so much easier!!!!! I many have to make that for bingo some week.

Hope you are doing well otherwise.
Take care
Keep on

Hi-

Just checking in to see how you are doing. Hope you are getting back into your workouts and avoiding all the tempting holiday treats.

Have a good weekend!

 

[MagicalMom]

I hope you all enjoy the recipe. Frogmommy, I am getting back to my routine now that my 2 week long killer cold is gone. This weekend we have another hospital wide feast at work & I've been assigned to bring desserts again. I'll have to go digging for another recipe.

The good news is that I now have a WISH buddy, which I am tickled about.

Oh & my scale, which I just bought a couple of weeks ago, is not working. I have tried everything. I think the kids may have knocked it around too many times. Maybe it's for the best, no one needs to weigh themselves 20 times a day.

 

[Cruise04]

I just have to tell you that you have me beat - weighing yourself 20 times a day I'm probably pretty close though!!!! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Keep on
Chris

Hey MagicalMom! I know what you mean about getting back into a routine. The holiday and being sick threw me for a loop and I feel like I am just now getting it together.

That's neat that you have a buddy now. I hope you get the scale figured out. I think I would be nuts if I weighed myself 20 times a day!

 

[Cruise04]

Happy Holidays MagicalMom!!!

Hope everything is going well and you are doing okay!

Hope you have a great holiday!

Keep on
Chris

 

[MagicalMom]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I bombed during the holidays but lucky didn't gain anything! That's the only bright side. So, I'm back on the diet. Hitting the gym again tomorrow. Even got a great Wish Buddy to help me along. This time i'm not giving up. I just know I can lose weight before summer gets here!

 

[frogmommy]

Hi-

Good for you for not gaining any weight over the holidays. I think that's an accomplishment in itself!! Hope you have a great weekend!

 

[MagicalMom]

Thanks Frogmommy, I've been doing good so far. I haven't had much tome for the gym but hope to make it there tomorrow. Swimsuit season will be here before we know it!
