ANGEL - you should have just let SUN and I steal it, like originally planned and you could have collected the insurance money and SUN and I could have had ourselves a yacht. Thanks a lot.

And did you hear that SUN??? Too much boat for a lake? We were totally right about it being a stinking yacht!!!!

LOL! Yeah there's just not much room for giant yachts on the lake.

Blast! The insurance money! Why didn't I remember that idea!?!?

 

[sunlover13]

Hi Angel! Welcome back! What's this selling the yacht business? Besides the stealing idea, why don't you park it in Florida so when we all go to Disney, it is available for us to "borrow?" I think that is a way better idea than selling it.

All this diet talk......... I was just telling myself this morning that I need to figure out how to lower my carbs. All I eat is carbs and it is starting to catch up with me. I eat a granola bar for breakfast, sandwich and chips for lunch (usually), and then a meat, salad or veggie, and of course a starch like noodles or a potato for dinner. Awful, I know! I think I'm going to eliminate the starch at dinner. There is no way I'll eliminate the carbs at lunch b/c buying salads everyday is way too expensive and I won't make my own b/c they are never as good. I like to do the 5 dolla foot long for lunch and save 1/2 for the next day. So, no more carbs at dinner! And the days I don't bring my lunch or do the 5 dolla footlong, I'll try to do a salad. Angel - what do you eat on your low carb diet? Any good, EASY recipes?

 

[CathrynRose]

Any good, EASY recipes?

There are lots of low carb recipes. I'm low carbing right now, too. Been at it for a month.

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, I was a size 7. And that was thanks to low carb maintenance.

Low carb (IMO) is easier cooking than normal meals. And it's incredibly satisfying.

 

[sunlover13]

What do you all eat for lunch besides salads that are low carb?

I can do the dinner thing, just more veggies to go w/ a meat. Last night I ate chicken parmesian w/ spaghetti & garlic bread.

 

[jordansmomma]

Cat wasn't there a thread somewhere with you & I think Pop Daddy or Papa Deuce talking about the low carb/Southbeach thing?
I tried to search for it but I couldn't find it.
I also want to do the low carb diet.

 

[Angelhalo]

I bought a few low carb cookbooks. One is a crockpot cookbook so I can even still do stuff that cooks all day while I'm gone!

Usually for lunch I have a salad, or a chicken sanwich with no bun and cole slaw, or an atkins bar. I just try to have as many different salads as I can think of so it doesn't get old. There's a place here that does a greek salad with actual gyro meat on it. it feels like a gyro with no pita.

I made pizza the other night with soy flour, I have made brownies and cheesecake...I use the grill a lot more now grilling meats and veggies. I think we eat more veggies now than we ever did. I really don't know how I would do it without the internet and my cookbooks though. I'd run out of ideas on my own but with those tools its really quite easy and there are lots of good recipes out there.

OH also for lunch sometimes I have hot dogs with no buns! But I buy the ones with the cheese in the middle cause they are only 1 carb each whereas most of the other hot dogs are 3 grams or more each.

We also have a lot of sugar free popscicles and sugar free Jello! You just have to be careful with some sugar free items escpecially candy because yeah, they take the sugar out, but they just replace it with sugar alcohols which aren't good either.

for those of you who love chips...we now make jicama chips. You just buy jicama in the produce section at the market. I slice it on a madolin so its really nice and thin, then fry them. They come out nice and crispy just like potatoe chips and totally fill that need for something crunchy and salty. They are DEELISH!

We also bought a food dehydrator so we make dehydrated zuchinni chips and our own beef jerky too!

Angel what brand are the hotdogs?

I am really not a fan of jell-o but I just started eating it. Have you tried the sugar free Strawberry w/ Acai berry? Its really good.

I haven't seen that flavor! maybe our stores don't have it yet.

I think the hot dogs are oscar meyer but I'm not 100% positive. I can check when I get home.

We have Souper Wednesdays here at work and people sign up to bring in soup for the office. Yesterday was my day and I brought a ROCKIN low carb broccolli cheese soup! Everyone raved about it.

George Stella is my new hero. Stella Style is probably the best cookbook I have ever bought!

My kids love broccoli cheese soup!
I found the jell-o are Super Wal Mart. It is very yummy!!
I am going to have to find that cookbook.

I would just like to give a great big *welcome back* to my exercise routine! I can see the results when I am naked! Wait, or is that I can see the results with the naked eye! Yeah, I think that's it!

I second you on that. We joined a gym and we're seeing results too!

On an unrelated note, I have a Disney trip planned and I am sooooo excited!!!

 

[sunlover13]

Hi girls! How was everyone's weekend?

Angel - Yay for Disneyworld! When are you going?

Xena & Angel - Congrats on the exercise results! It is rainy & gloomy here today so I went to run on my treadmill and it didn't go very well. I hurt my back somehow. No idea how, but it hurts. I made 1.6 miles and it started to hurt really bad and had to stop. BOO HOO! I hope it is fine by tomorrow.

DH made a good dinner though. Steaks, zuchinni, and coconut shrimp. YUM!

Somewhat low carb, right?

 

[sunlover13]

Did I kill our thread?

 

[jordansmomma]

Sun ~ Sorry about your back. But your dinner sounded really yummy!

My wknd was good. This wknd will be crazy! Thur-Sat we have baseball, Saturday is the opening of baseball season in our town, a parade, a ceremony and games all day! Little League will play Cal Ripken, this is the first year they have done this (usually we play our own league) so it should be a lot of fun!!

I have just been pretty busy homework & baseball.

 

[CathrynRose]

Did I kill our thread?

No.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I've just been so busy lately that I haven't posted a lot.

Sun - I think I'm going to try that BBQ-root beer pork recipe you posted awhile back this weekend.

 

[dec5girl]

Hi girls. It has been a very busy weekend and week. I'm leaving in the morning for Vegas and I have been trying to get me and DH ready to go and also get the kids ready to stay home, clean laundry, food for their lunches and all that good stuff. I know I won't be able to tell you about my trip, you know what happens in Vegas and all that....but I'll *see* ya when I get back!

Sun ~ hope your back gets better.

Angel ~ good job on working out. What do you like to do? I eliptical.

Disfav ~ how's your grandma?

Yomamma ~ Yeah for Disney trip in the works!

Cat ~ Hi! I have too much makeup to close my makeup bag again!

Ward and Breezy ~ I haven't forgotten you..........

 

[sunlover13]

Hey girls.......

My family could use some good thoughts and prayers right about now. So, if you could add us to your list........



Xena - Have a fantastic trip! Win some $$$.

Jordan - That sounds like fun. I can't wait for Abby to be old enough to start leagues. I hope she gets into softball. They get to play Cal Ripken, that is pretty cool.

Carolyn - Hi! Let me know if you make the pork roast & like it. It is a little sweeter tasting BBQ, but pretty good. We have a great BBQ place by us so I'm spoiled and I always say nothing compares. (Uncle Bubs - Cat)

Cat - How's your search going?

Angel - When are you going to Disney? A co-worker of mine is going next week. I'm so jealous. I don't think we will get there this year.

Where is Breezy? Where is Ward? I'm getting ready to PM them some stinkeyes.

 

[jordansmomma]

Sun~ I will keep you in my thoughts.

I like Cal Ripken better than little league. Our softball teams are good around here too.

I hope Xena is having a good time on her way to Vegas.

 

[CathrynRose]

Good thoughts for you SUN.

I went to the Zoo today. It would be my Mom's 59th birthday - fifty nine!!! She should still be here.

Anyways. .... It's a gorgeous day, I woke up, noticed the date and said "You know what? It's a zoo day" I woke Danny up and said 'wake up - we're going to the zoo' and since it was NOT school, he pounced up.

Joey on the other hand - "Joey? Do you wanna go to the zoo with us?" (he's off school today for some testing the other grades had) He say's "Hell no... I'm sleeping in, today" Nice. 2 more months and that kid will be 18! ! ! Amazing.

Well - was in Tropic World (which for everyone but SUN - is an indoor Asia, South America and African exhibit. The gorilla's were having a blast....wrestling, playing - really fun to watch. The one hand the other one in a head lock. All having a jolly good time except for one... and she wouldnt stop staring at me. Not because of my exquisite beauty, for which I would not be able to blame her . No no... she looked TICKED!!! ANGRY GORILLA!!! I ended up moving behind a tree because her stare was making me uncomfortable!

I figured it was a great Stink Eye, though!
