Hi guys-- Happy new year!

I'm gonna try to start posting to B&V everyday. I need some accountability as I have been eating and eating carbs without care. I do get in my protein (and vites), but the protein is usually from shakes. I'd like to get back to basics and hopefully get to goal. I haven't really had any regain, but I never got to goal (130 lbs). I've been between 150-155 lbs since September 2010. I think my biggest problem is telling myself no. I always want to indulge, even if that means self sabotaging. But, it's a new year and I want to start things off right! Here's what I ate today:



B - premier protein shake, two franks, 2 hb eggs and one string cheese stick (65g)
S - cottage cheese drizzled with a little honey (10g)
S - baked cheese crisps and tuna salad (20 g?)
L - two scrambled eggs and sausage pattie (24g)
S - more cottage cheese (10g)
D - home made cajun chicken alfredo (i threw some spinach in there and ate it like a really thick soup, no pasta. It was pretty darn good!) (40g)
S - Some more cheese crisps

Tell me more about these cheese crisps! Sound potentially delicious! Do you make them yourself?

I think they're delish. I first discovered the recipe on the DS forum. I can't remember who posted it, but here is the recipe I use. They're so easy too!

Ingredients:
1 cup grated hard cheese (such as Parmesean) - NOT the dried powdery stuff
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 F.

Note on type of cheese: You can use any kind, really, but the results will be different. Hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, Romano, Asagio, etc, will make a crisp "shell," whereas cheddar will be more chewy and "lacey" (the fat separates out), though still firm. Softer cheeses such as mozzerella will not work well.

Toss cheese with any seasonings you'd like -- garlic powder (about half a teaspoon for a cup of cheese), hot pepper powder, even cinnamon. Or leave plain.

Pile 1 to 4 Tablespoons of cheese (depending on the size you want) on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or parchment paper oiled on both sides. Flatten the tops so they are in more or less an even pile. There should be at least two inches between smaller mounds, 4 inches between larger ones.

Bake 5 to 6 minutes until they are a light golden brown (they will be a little darker at the edges). It happens fast, so watch carefully.

If you want to mold them into a shape, you want to "drape" them while still warm. You can make cups over an upturned glass, or "taco shell" shapes by draping over any cylindrical object that is at hand (rolling pin, side of glass)

Welcome! Excellent Bites. I think we're all getting back into good routines :)
