Gretchen- My DH is a farmboy and he id convinced that little animals grow better in pairs

Lori-Rick is a brave man. My DH just looks at me funny . As to dinner, DD had no choice. I had some roasters I needed to cook so I have them ready to pop in the oven. They have a seasoning called Nantucket Blend that I generally use on turkey so they are going to be good. I plan on roasted potatoes, salad and some kind of veggie. As to dessert.....................we'll see. I might find something laying around that needs to be finished

Becky- as long as you post pictures I will open them. I don't have any preference how you do it I just am hooked.

Sounds like a great dinner to me, but I'm the one that's happy if I don't have to cook my own Bday dinner anyway! Rick always takes me out for mine cause there's no way he can cook without catching the boa on fire! Actually I think if he could microwave everything I'd get a home cooked meal.....but ya know!

Happy Birthday Marisa!!!

I'm feeling a little better now, had a little cocktail and some key lime pie. Key lime pie is one of my "happy" things, it was nice to find a slice to indulge in tonight!

- Love Key Lime Pie!!!

Has anyone tried the new key lime donut from Dunkin Donuts yet?

I have a question, do you guys prefer the photos as links, or would you rather I put them in the post?
Let me know, and I will post tomorrow's clam roll accordingly!

The way you post now is just fine with me...just keep em coming!!!

Well, I am in the process of going through my Thyroid scans. I had to fast and go to the hospital at 8:45a but they called me and told me the pills I had to take were not there yet... The bad weather in the Midwest held them up...so, needless to say, I was very grumpy this AM w/o my coffee.

I got there at 11am and took my 2 nuclear pills and have to go back at 4 for the scans and again tomorrow AM. THey said I could eat though so I had a sub sandwich and a large DD iced coffee. Well, I won't go into detail but they did not agree with me.

Tommy Boy stayed home today to help me out so he will watch A later....A is very happy that he does not have to go and sit in the waiting room.

Tom will also get dinner ready...burgers and mac and cheese.

Who knows...I may not even be able to eat...but I may glow in the dark!!!!

LORI: COngrats on the weight loss!!

SHeryl: Have you found a light? Is all OK with hubby?

If you're feeling up to it that may make for a very interesting evening! Good thing you're still honeymooners!

Thanks for the congrats!

Lauren- I am so sorry that you are feeling lousy today. Please let us know what the tests show.

 

[TigerKat]

Lauren - Did you say Key Lime Donut? My two vices combined into one, that sounds sooooooo good to me!!

I know you're miserable with all this testing, I'm here if you need a shoulder. I'm sure A was very happy that Tom stayed with him, that was very sweet of Tom.

Keep us posted later today as to how you're feeling.

Yup, they have a KL donut now. Have you ever tried the School bread in Norway? Its like coconut custard pie in a donut...I can't remember if you like coconut or not...

I will def keep you posted. Thanks!

We started on the new Alli pills that came out recently. It's the only FDA approved "diet drug". It blocks part of your fat intake. If you eat too much fat stay near a potty! Then you journal what your eating. That helps alot! We try for 15g fat meals and total of 3g fat snacks and 1400 cals. Once you see what happens and how what you're eating makes you feel, it's easier to go from there.

I'm an emotional eater and a craver- those are my downfalls...but I'm working on it.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Thanks for the info Lori! I will have to check them out after I see what the heck is wrong with me!!! I am very much an emotional eater...happy, sad...eat eat eat!!!

We tried the school bread on our last trip - loved it! But that key lime donut has me excited!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the hugs and kind words. I'll post some more of the requested recipes tonight.
I thought I was going to die from the heat yesterday!! It was 102 degrees here yesterday and it's supposed to be about 100 today. Who knew it could get so hot in Oregon?! I just had sandwiches last night.
I'm thinking of maybe just having a salad or grilling a steak with the coffee and spice rub I got from Williams Sonoma. It sounds strange but it's really good.

Oh and Happy Birthday Marisa!

 

[Nancyg56]

Thanks Nancy! I will def keep all of you posted.

Lauren- I saw that you are upset about dieting. I know that you want to get back on track and you will, but I think you have enough going on right now without adding to the stress. Get through the testing, get your results and then make the changes you want to.

I am another emotional eater, any mood I'll find a way to eat. Any celebration I'll find a meal to make and then I try what I cook. I en


Lori- I envy your control. I am afraid that I would not do as well as you have.

 

[Nancyg56]

MinnieM21- where is home? We were hot and humid but not 102. We reached 97 yesterday.

I am secretly motivated. I got Rick to agree to a big Disney vow renewal during food and wine fest. We have to pay off debt and lose too many pounds to name- those are the rules. So if I can power through the cravings I'll be doing ok. Last night I wanted chocolate sooooo bad. We have a friend that goes to Scotland all the time for work that brought me back these caramel and chocolate covered shortbread candies that are killer. There's 3 packages left that I won't dare throw out(cause I can't get them here). I took them down and looked at them and then ate fat free chocolate pudding. NOT as good.

So with enough motivation and support we'll all be at a Illuminations dessert party for our vow renewal-cause I gotta share with my WFD sistas!

Hi, all!

Tonight is my first night of grad school, so I am nervous but excited. "Administration and Supervision of Effective Schoolwide Reading Programs".

I am having leftover Chicken Francese with salad and brown rice. I am back on Weight Watchers, counting points. This way when I get extra exercise, I get extra food, lol. It is good motivation to work out for me and it's worked before, so it will work again. I do try to follow their guide - use 4 points for dairy, 6-8 points on protein, less than 4 points on sweets and extras, etc. I weigh in on Monday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARISA!!!!!

Lauren, I hope you are feeling better. I can relate.

Lori - Keep us updated on how you like Alli. It is a lot of money, so I would like to hear reviews first.

Hope everyone has a great night!
