Good morning and happy 13th! I'm absolutely wiped this morning - got home late from an appointment last night which threw my whole evening off and I ended up going to bed waaaaay too late. Bring on the coffee.

Work today, have to run an errand after and I think Andrew and I are going out for a bit to meet friends. Unless I can't keep my eyes open in which case driving is not likely advisable. ;)

Insomnia sucks! Funny how so many of us who post on this thread suffer from it - you, Barb, Kelly at times, CC sometimes, me.... perhaps it's all of us menopausal/peri-menopausal chicks.  I've been in a really solid sleep cycle for many months now but I think that is partly due to general exhaustion of being back to work full-time and also that Andrew sleeps over a lot (sort of like a security blanket lol).

How come you're skipping the feta these days?

If it's menopause or peri-menopause then it must have started in my 20's as that is when the insomnia was the worse  LOL  

I have feta in the house but actually prefer the greek salad naked.  I sometimes add it and the olives, sometimes just the olives and sometimes neither.  I just like the greek salad dressing recipe that I always make and I find it doesn't need anything else in the salad most of the time.  When he's home, the feta always gets thrown in but since I make a big bowl every few days, I just take each portion out and then add in whatever each of us likes.  Peppers and cukes have been so nice lately that I haven't bothered with buying lettuce at all.  Just wish I could find some nicer tomatoes as I like roma tomatoes in it but they are more pink than red so have been using grape tomatoes but they are rather juicy and would prefer a meatier tomato but ripe lol

True about the insomnia - mine started in my 30s. lol

Finding good tomatoes is a bit brutal down here too. I tend to go for the on-the-vine or grape tomatoes but it takes a lot of picking through to find good ones.

Would you share your Greek salad dressing Tracey?

Sure, this is the one that I sort of use but I don't really measure, I like to use fresh squeezed lemon and fresh oregano but this one is really good even if you don't alter. I use it when I don't have fresh lemons or oregano. I don't add sugar/sweetener as I like it really tart but the recipe does say to use if you want.

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp sugar or splenda

Mix the dressing up first and let it sit at room temperature so the oregano leaves can absorb some of the liquids.

Good morning everyone!! Yea it's Friday! Which is typically the day I reward myself for eating well mon-thurs with something really crappy like a breakfast sandwich.,,But I'm keeping the carb demon in check.. The reward will be fitting into my summer dresses 😀

Yeah, I have always found that rewarding my good eating habits by indulging in my bad habits always ended badly. lol  That kind of behaviour and thinking is something I did regularly when I was morbidly obese and completely cut out when I had surgery 9 years ago since doing what I always did pre-op obviously wasn't working. lol
