[DisneyObsession]

I really need to catch up, but wanted to say "HI"!

Oh Yeah....WELCOME Cinderella's Slipper! You'll LOVE it here!!!

I'll be back after reading...probably in an hour or two!!!

Hi all!

I kinda skimmed over the weekend posts. I'm not online over the weekend so it's impossible to completely catch up.

Hey, I made those choc. muffins with the bran cereal and the brownie mix. Those are fantastic! Thanks to wherever or whoever that recipe came from!

This week:
1. drink more water.
2. work out
3. eat yummy bran brownie muffins
4. eat more veggies

This morning I worked out with Gilad at 5 a.m. on Fit TV. Sometimes he has his mom on there working out with him. So cute.

Take care and stick with it, y'all!

This guy looks like he's lifting weights>>>>>>>>>> but maybe in a crabby sorta way.

2. No Pepsi! (Would it be terrible if I treat myself to one can of Pepsi on the weekend?)

4. Actually turn on and use the treadmill, instead of just dusting it.

-Michelle

For me it wouldn't be dusting the treadmill, it'd be using it as a place to hang up clothes.

And I think one Pepsi on the weeked is ok if you "budget" it into your day. At least in the beginning. You can't go from all or nothing overnight. That's my thinking anyway.

Happy Monday Everyone!

Last night I wasn't so good to me. Remember in an earlier post I mentioned the brownie contest and how I had lots of mix-ins and stuff around the house? Well, my one bite of brownie that I allowed myself to taste because it was a new recipe turned into me eating way more than I would have liked. I didn't even bother counting the points for it because I knew that I used up all the days points and the rest of my flex points yesterday. BUT, today is a new day and I'm not going to let last night continue into today.

Could someone fill me in on the flaxseed oil or whatever it is? I REALLY don't have the time to go back through 300 pages to look LOL.

Oh, and I'm going to run that chocolate chip cookie recipe through the recipe builder today and get back to everyone on the points values. I know I'm really curious.

My Goals This Week:
1. Drink all of my water every day.
2. Try really hard not to dip into any of my flex points until this Weekend at WDW!
3. No visiting the vending machines while at the school/clinic, except to say hello and see how they're doing.
4. Measure everything I put in my mouth for accountability and accurate points.

Hope everyone has a skinny day and a great week!

Hey again everyone! I made sure I had the correct recipe for the tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. It's as follows:

2 sticks butter
2 1/4 C. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 C. Splenda for baking
3/4 C. brown sugar Splenda
12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Total WW Points = 2 per cookie (if you make 5 dozen).

Not too bad. I wouldn't make them all the time, but if I really wanted to bake and treat myself, these would definitely do it!

I wonder if you could make it even lighter by cutting out an egg and using applesauce, or does that only work with oil? Not sure. Or egg beaters instead of an egg? Hmmm....

Lynda - Loved your pics. You must have a great camera. Your Disney pics are beautiful! We went to Door County when I was in high school. I would love to go back.

Thank you, thank you! I have 2 Canon Digital SLR cameras, and I love them! I got the first one in May '05, so the pictures from before that were taken with other digital cameras, both mine and my mom's. I LOVED Door County! We are really hoping to go back this year! It has been too long, but I guess you can probably tell we have been going to WDW a LOT since we stopped going to Door County. So, it's hard to find the time. We are working on it though.


I know that I quoted more than that, but it's not here! Maybe I took too long to hit reply, but now I don't remember what they were. I DO remember that I wanted to mention to the Japanese food-eating pooerslaughing: ) that I have issues like that if I eat food my body isn't used to & also sometimes with Chinese/Japanese food. I swear there is something in it that has laxative properties!

Anyway, since I lost everything else, I am now caught up! Happy Monday everyone! And have a skinny day!

I would (and have) alter this recipe like this (substitutions in parentheses):

2 sticks butter (use Smart Balance, 1/2 lb. tub regular not light, butter is too much saturated fat)
2 1/4 C. all purpose flour (use whole wheat pastry flour)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt (I would omit this)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 C. Splenda for baking (use regular Splenda, baking has 1/2 reg sugar)
3/4 C. brown sugar Splenda (use 1/2 this amount since br. sugar Splenda is twice as potent)
12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (use 6 oz. mini semi-sweet choc chips)

Just my .02


Applesauce only works in cake and brownie type recipes.

I didn't know you could bake with Smart Balance. Is the texture the same as when you use butter or margerine? I cant wait to try theis recipe!

Ok, peeps, I'm out for a couple hours to work on my TR whilest it's nap time for the kids. There's VIDEO! (VERY unexciting video, but it's a different touch).

I'll give a Public Service Announcement (or Warning ) when I'm all done. Kinda sad, it's my last full day.

Wow thanks for all of that! Maybe that will bring me down to 1 pt per cookie LOL. Even if it doesn't, it still seems healthier. Thanks again!

Hello Skinny Minnies! This is my first post while at work!

The cookies won't spread as much as they do when you use butter, but....

I bake with Smart Balance all the time. It has Omega-3 fats, also some other good stuff, sorry I should check the label for the technical mumbo jumbo but I'm at work. I use it in banana bread, apple crisp, brownies, etc. Just remember, don't use the light version, it won't work right. I think there's more air and water whipped into the light version.

Hello Peeps! Well, I am out of bed and functioning again...of course my last post (and read post) was on page 181!!! I have made it to 185, and I figured I better just stop and say hello and then go back when I get a chance. I must say the Groundhog thingy that a couple of you have in your signatures is hilarious. I had to email it to myself so I could laugh at it.

Welcome to all of the new people. I need to get bios from you guys (and a few other - I will post the list momentarily). I can't keep up with everyone without it. I can email my list to anyone else who needs it if you will IM me your email address.

Anyway, let me start reading and I will jump in here later...

Woot Woot on the new installment to the TR! I am excited! And I am sad that it is your last full day too! Does that mean that there is another partial day coming though? Basically, I am hoping this isn't your last installment. I think I might when you are all done!

Um...I think Monica has been spending lots of face to face time with her toilet, and she might be gaining. J/K But seriously, I don't know. But I do hope you are feeling better VERY SOON!

 

[sorul82?]

[Wonders10]

[DisneyObsession]

yep....it'll make its way out eventually....think Augustus Gloop........

(I love Willy Wonka!)

3 HOURS!!! It just took me 3 hours to catch up with everyone!!! (OK, so I'm at work and had to deal with customers and answer phones too...but still!)


to all the Newbies!!! This is a great place to be with lots of laughter & support!

I am making the muffins tonight. I hope they help. Also purchasing Colon Blow ingredients. This is all on my list of things I will do this week.

So many things I wanted to say, and now I can't remember any of them! (Yes, it's a "Senior Moment"!) So, I will go back to work!
