OOOOOOO Nancy, I am going to have to try that one. I made a S/F Bread pudding last week that was so good too. Everyone else ate most of it which was fine with me, but it really wasn't that bad. I will have to post it too if you like.

Nancy-
You must be reading my mind girl. I was just thinking about that last night. I was in the mood to talk to my friends on hear last night and thought, oh, no one will be on. I should have posted this last night.
I am up for anytime really, the only time I can't is Tuesday evenings. I have a weekly meeting that I have to go to.
I am heading out to the treadmill myself in a few minutes. I have to get ready, I am walking/running a 5k this Sunday. I have walked them in the past, not since surgery though, but this time I am going to try to run at least part of it. My goal is to run a whole 5k someday, who knows, maybe even more. My workout friends, the ones that I train with, they think that this coming summer I should do the Triatholon that they do. YIKES!!!!! I have a lot of work to do to get ready for that. But, set the goal and say it is done and it is done!!!! Sorry for the tangent....
If you need help coordinating it let me know.
Hugs and such,
Jeanna

Topic: Baked Apple Recipe
Here is a great Recipe for Baked Apples!
If you are eating alone with this,just make one,they are not the best left over! just cut the recipe in 1/2.
2 large Rome apples
2 TBSP splenda brown sugar blend
1 TSP cinnamon
1 TBSP unsalted butter
I use Parkay or I can't believe it's not butter fat free spray
*preheat oven to 350
1. Remove the seeds and sems of the apples with an apple corer.Place in a small baking dish,and fill with an inch of water.
2.Mix together the sugar and cinnamon and spoon into hollow centers of the apples.Top each one with 1/2 TSP.butter.
3. Place apples on center rack of oven and bake 30-45 minutes,until soft.
I just love this recipe! I hope you like it too!

Cyndi-
You were better than me!!!!! I was going to post tomorrow and work on getting Wednesday Roll Call back on track. This week I will. My schedule is getting more predictable and I am feeling much better about things, you could almost say that I have quite the positive attitude all of a sudden and it is growing!!!!! Thank you so much for taking over duties this week. It is funny, I really didn't think that I I made that much of an impact on the board, but seeing everyone coming out and posting makes me think otherwise. I am raising my right hand and repeating after myself, I, Jeanna, promise to continue with Wednesday Roll Call, no ifs, ands, or butts,
oops, buts about it.
Ok, I am so excited to answer the questions.....here we go.
1) My one wish is that I can really make a go of my business and that everyone takes me seriously with it. I have some really great goals set for myself and I need to continue to believe in me if I am going to achieve them.
2) JeaJea (sounds like Gigi) I don't even know how I got that nickname but it has stuck!! My nieces and nephews only know me as Auntie JeaJea. Actually, now that I think about it, my nickname is Jeanna. My real name is Jean, no offense to any Jean's out there, but I hate the name. It is not me at all. Ever since I was a baby, my parent's have called me Jeanna and well, it stuck. It is weird when someone does call me Jean, only my brothers call me that now and well, I tolerate it from them.
3) Embarassing moments. Ok, you are all family here, so I can share this. You see, my hubby and I don't pass gas in front of each other. I beg him to since my family incessantly does. So, the other morning, I got out of
, stretched and next thing I knew,
I passed gas. I was mortified. He just stood there and laughed. I told him it was his turn now. But alas, it was just me there in all my glory welcoming the morning with gusto. How embarassing indeed
.
4) Children, oh, you mean my 2 fur balls?????? The only children we have are 2 dogs, Diamond our Golden Retriever and Bruiser our Chihuahua. They are like our children and we call ourselves Mommy and Daddy in front of them and every other time too. We address them as "Children" and they act like our children too. Otherwise, we have 2 1/2 nieces (one on the way) and 4 nephews. They keep us plenty busy.
5) Yes, there is a significant other. My DH. We were just saying that in April we will have known each other for 5 years and this will be our 4th Christmas together. Unbelieveable. We both wish we could have met each other earlier then we would be able to answer #4 with a yes.
OK, as usual, my answers were long winded. I need to work on that. I can't ever give a yes, no, maybe so answer. Long and drawn out, that's me!!!!
Hope you all had a great weekend and if nothing else we will see you for Wednesday Roll Call!!!!!
Keep on keepin on,
Jeanna

Topic: RE: What do you do when you are craving sweets?
Here's what I do...
I eat something sweet. I don't eat sweets all the time and I don't dump when I do eat them. Before my surgery I ate them twice a day and didn't know when to stop. That's how I was with everything. In all my days of dieting I wished I could find something that didn't stop me from eating the things I loved but still help me lose weight. I never could find that because I had no control. Now since the surgery I do have control because I have to. Control also in the sense that when I want a piece of pie or cake, I have it. I just don't have 3 pieces and then munch on it all week.
