Holiday Weekend Check-in
What are you doing/planning for this weekend?
I work for an auto company, so I have Monday off work. I am planning to play euchre with a bunch of friends tomorrow night. I have to make sure I take things I can eat, so I don't eat too many crackers and chips. Last time I was feeling really loopy for a while an realized it was from carbs and not enough protein. I ate a protein bar and felt better. Sunday, we are celebrating my Dad's birthday and my mom is having pizza and salad, so I think I'll just bring a can of tuna or chicken to put on the salad. Monday, I'm hoping to rest and crochet. I have a jacket to finish and a baby blanket to get started on. I hope you all are well and will post as you have time this weekend about how things are going!

I woke up with a headache (having a lot of them around menstrual cycle) and am trying to get going to the gym. Also planning a trip to Trader Joes today. I am planning to make this crunchy no carb snack bar recipe today - the pistachio version:

Hi Jean,
Just planning on taking the kids to a movie today. I also work in automotive, so I am off Monday too. Boy Tuesday will be busy!
Salad sounds good. I like mine with alot of fixins. Eggs, ham, cheese, bacon, hey sounds like breakfast!
Enjoy your night out.

I am retired form the automotive industry so I don't have to go anywhere LOL and I always have Mondays off. LOL
How ever it was darn nice of the UAW to negotiate a day off the celebrate my Birthday every year January 18Th. The same day as that Martin Luther King guy's actual B day too. Wasn't he lucky to be born the same day I was so we could have a special Monday in January.
Have fun guys!. I use to get my Birthday off every year.

OK, food update - the butterscotch pound cake from the Bariatric Foodies - was great! I took it to euchre last night and got compliments from a couple of people and took it to the birthday party today and left some for my dad who is diabetic. I plan to make this again, but use a chocolate cake mix with chocolate sf pudding mix and thing that would be even yummier!
Second - the snack bars... Well, you learn something new every day. I had no idea that coconut oil was a solid, and I couldn't find any at Trader Joes, soooo I just used canola oil - so my nut bars are a little soupy. I think I'll scrape the chocolate off the top and put them outside for birds. I did find coconut oil today at GNC and hear that Hiller's carrys that kind of stuff. I couldn't find unsweetened coconut and hear Hiller's has that too. I plan to try them again. I don't think they need the chocolate topping.
