Here we go---sailing this boat together! Recipes today
Good morning one and all!
Here's a recipe for a Super Quick Salsbury Steak. It looks great, made with ground turkey and beef.

I haven't made it yet, but plan on it. I'll seal a meal the left overs for another day.
I was really busy here at home yesterday cooking the day away. The woman who owns the salon is going on a Med cruise to celebrate her 50th birthday, so instead of having a b'day party (she begged us not to, doesn't really want to accept she's 50) we're having a bon voyage party. Should be fun, and if anything I cooked turned out well, I'll post those recipes here to share.
bkfst burrito
leftover french dip soup
greek chicken, tomato and cucumber salad
applesauce w/ cottage cheese
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Another hot one here.

Susan,
Thanks so much for this post..!!!! It really is helping me to keep up with all of the "feedings"
Breakfast...late today..I actually slept till 9 am...!!! 1/2 c greek
yogurt, almost 3/4 c puffed wheat cereal
Snack...8 Blue Diamond Pecan crackers with 2 RF cheese
sticks
Snack..1 graham cracker sleeve with peanut butter
Lunch will probably be...yogurt w/cereal, or quiche with green
beans and maybe some sweet potatos
Snack...graham cracker with peanut butter
Dinner...no clue yet
Snack 1/4 banana with peanut butter
Snack...maybe popcorn with a cheese stick or peanut butter
This is getting a little easier..packing to go away for the day is a nightmare...but, that too will get easier. I am right now 1 pound below what I set as my goal. I may still lose a few more pounds..but, right now I'm happy.

Good Morning
Well, my barge is still afloat, but it's sitting a little lower in the water today. I HAVE to plan ahead at least a little or I start paddling in circles. I was running around all morning yesterday and didn't get home till after 3, and I had my first episode of hypoglycemia since I stopped working. I swear, I could feel my blood sugar dropping! All I need to do is eat regularly and intelligently, and I have no problem. It's an elusive goal sometimes...
Yesterday:
B: cottage cheese and fresh peach
S: Zone protein bar
By the time I got home from running around at 3 pm, my blood sugar was in the toilet, and I ate what was close and quick. Not a good choice:
Orange gelatin dessert
1/4 cup trail mix
L: at almost 4 pm Grilled ham and cheese sandwich
Never did sit down to another meal, and at about 9 pm I got hungry and grabbed one (large) handful each of corn curls and Bugle snacks.
Not enough liquids.
Poor planning makes poor choices.
Today is another day. Started off rocky, but it seems to be coming along.
I could lie and say I've been "perfect", but then what's the point of posting?
Every day is a new day.

Yes, today is another day, each one new.
Yes, poor planning = poor choices.
There is no such this as enough liquids.
Corn curls and Bugle snacks shouldn't be in your house.
Low blood sugar is the pits, and you were there, but it's a good thing you can recognize it.
Yes, the purpose of this thread is to be honest and truthful with yourself and each other.
My dear, you are not a barge! Think of yourself as a little motor boat( I'm thinking white, with a nice red stripe along the sides)....puttin' along. Barges are big, bulky and oily hunks. You are none of those things!
Keep on being honest with yourself, it will do you well!
Love ya!

Well, yeah, meat day for sure...lol
I'd swell up like a balloon with the salt from those pickled thingies. Get lots of water in, too. Gosh, I love cherries. They're $4 a lb here, how about there? I can hardly afford them. But....maybe I'll splurge this week?
Take a deep breath, and it that doesn't calm you down, just remember all your friends here are a bit off kilter right with you!
Have a grand evening!
