It's a cabbage and hamburger concoction that is very tasty. Go to recipes.com and they have several recipes for it.

Its a recipe recommended by someone on this site. Its called crack slaw 'cuz its so good, its almost addictive.  And its a great diet meal because its healthy and satisfying.  I usually double the hot sauce.

I haven't been doing so well since I had my gallbladder out last week.  Now that eating doesn't hurt any more, I'm eating more than I should and things that I shouldn't.  I would still like to lose 3 more pounds and my year anniversary is in 2 weeks!  So, I need to get back on the horse and do it right!

B: Dannon light and fit and Bear Naked granola

S: I ate 2 girl scout cookies :(

L: brisket, jalapeno with cream cheese and bacon

D: left over steak in a scrambled egg with a jalapeno

W: way behind

V: on track

E: no exercise until I'm cleared by the doc other than walking.  We went looking for our first geocache today and if the wind stops blowing, we'll try again this evening.

Sarah,

Sorry you had to have your gallbladder out. Hope you are okay. Good luck.

Glad you had a good vacation. We are going to the beach in August. I am worried too. Hopefully I can loose more before then to make up.

Love tuna. Sounds good.

THIS is cool!   I think sharing your menu for the day is brilliant, I know it will help me later on when I am stuck in a rut and needing inspiration! :)
