QOTD- I use Truvia. But for baking I use sugar.

Good luck on the rain, I'd trade you for the heat dome we are having. It's supposed to be 106 today, but by Friday it should drop to the 80's. I'm keeping the A/C set at 70 to try and keep up with it. So glad that I spent the money for A/C I don't think I could survive without it. It only got down to 69 last night, so it's not cooling off like normal either.

I have 3 kittens, I guess they are technically cats now that they are a year old. They are all so different even though they are litter mates. I'm so lucky to have them, they make me laugh and at times drive me crazy.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all and Happy Monday,

Let's get at it, gang. This week has no chance against a bunch of WLS champions like us!

The concert last night was amazing. It could be described as a 50th anniversary of hip hop celebration with hip hop pioneers. The various artists did their hits as well as covering old school hits of artists like Grandmaster Flash to Easy-E to Notorious B.I.G. The Line-up: The Roots, LL Cool J, Rakim, Slick Rick, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Doug E. Fresh, Common, Bone Thugs n' Harmony, DJ Z-Trip. Everyone came out in their finest. People are awesome. Less awesome - I saw a couple pimps with their employees.

QOTD- I use Stevia in the raw.

B: PP shake

L: Brisket Chili.

D: 1/2 French Onion Soup pot roast sandwich. Asparagus

For a second I thought you were at a seance + concert when I saw Eazy-E, then a saw that they were covering him....which makes much more sense. Sounds like a great evening of music!

Hahahaha. My concert buddy and myself were speculating who the special guests would be. I suggested that three deceased rappers, 2pac, Eazy-E and Chicago Rapper King Von, would perform as the VonPacolypse. When Rakim covered Eazy-E's 'Gimme That Nut', my friend and I looked at each other and starting laughing about it.

This was Epic. It has been all over the National news. That is great you were able to get a ticket.

Good morning! Late check in, but Monday Madness HIIT class is in the books as well as a few chores. I really was on track with eating and drinking all weekend. Great choices and tried out a couple new recipes. I also did some sort of exercise every day. I'm modifying as I go to accommodate my knee and making best friends with an ice pack. I'm making it happen one way or another. We had almost no plans so the whole thing was very chill. Same for today. All my to do things are done. I should do a load of work out clothes. So, exciting day.

QoTD. I use Truvia which is Stevia on the rare occasions I need to add a sweetener. If a recipe calls for sugar I use the real thing. But I rarely cook anything that calls for much more than a tbsp or so of sugar. I do like Swerve brown sugar on my sweet potato. And when I had to give up coffee completely, Rog found me a "chocolate sauce" that has Stevia so my fake coffee tastes like hot brown water with a hint of mocha.

I need to go get fresh provisions today. Right now I am too hungry so I have to wait until after breakfast. But not too quickly after because if I am full nothing looks good and I come home with not nearly enough to figure out meals. But I've got breakfast and lunch covered with leftovers

B: last of the chicken, feta, chickpeas and tomato sheet pan meal

L: insides of a bbq chicken salad

D: TBD

Peace everybody!

Have you tried Crio Bru or teecinno? I have tried them both when I've given up coffee briefly. They were more flavorful than brown water!

I was on a Crio Bru kick at some point when I tried to cut down my coffee intake. It's very good--the only thing it has going against it is that it isn't coffee. Nothing will ever take the place of that beautiful caffeine kick, so I eventually quit trying. But it was tasty!

I forgot to mention Swerve brown sugar - I use that, too. Tastes like the real thing! And yes, I also put it on sweet potatoes.
