Hi! All is great here in my part of NY. Thunderstorm right now. Yeah I shoudl probably shut down the puter, but it is the laptop and I'm not plugged into the wall. Got a couple hours of battery left.
Scales are moving here too. Slowly,but moving. I need more exercise too. Maybe I should walk to Renee's! Okay, maybe not, that's at least 2 1/2 hours by car. Gotta get walking again tho.
Renee if you need my help with that glitch let me know.
Have a great evening everyone! And calling all lurkers! Please join us in the posting we don't bite!
Love ya, Deb

But what if they WANT to be bitten???
I'm having one of those days since I have been up since yesterday morning.
Don't have much to say -- didn't do anything festive this weekend -- worked Saturday night (yeah for holiday pay), and then slept the rest of the weekend I think.
Am on a quest for high protein low carb foods that I WANT to eat -- since chicken and I seem to not be seeing eye to eye lately. Made talipia - may try that tonight... and baked ziti with veggies (ran out of soy crumbles so it isn't as protein laden as normal) - so I may try and pick out the cheese/sauce and eat a wee bit of veggies -- am having veggie withdrawl (versus carb paranoia).
Sorry if I am blathering on..... but the posts seem rather lonely lately and Renee is way too far for me to walk to (altho I guess we could do a hiking of the Appalacian trail and end up somewhere near from PA where I am)....

LOL! Well, we will bite the lurkers that want to be bitten and just pinch the others! :-)
YOU NEED MORE SLEEP!
How about eggs, peanut butter, shrimp, chicken, fish, beans...
I am sorry that I have been away --- After this weekend, my life slows down tremendously. My 3 "girls" and hubby don't even know me any more! :-)
Well, maybe we can meet between your house, my house and Deb's house! That would be awesome!

Eggs and chicken are not agreeing with me which bites the big one. We keep kosher so there goes the shrimp and beans are all carbs - and not a complete protein unless you add a carb such as rice (yeah, can you tell I'm doing the carb paranoia thing in a big way??? UGH!)
I have an idea about the Appalacian Trail thing.... We have a time share and like to trade to go to either the Poconos or the Shannendoah Valley in VA.... in the fall maybe we can figure out a convenient week and I can rent the place, go with my family and you guys can come! In VA there are great places to hike around the Blue Ridge Mountains off of Skyline drive......
I'm around just enough for my family to recognize me - altho my DH last night said (as I was getting naked to change) that he could all of a sudden see I have lost some weight (from where I dunno - I only see it in my face).
Good thing about working the nights is that the kids don't miss me then -- it's just the sleeping with the hubby that gets the short end of that :sigh:.

Oooh! Appalachian Trail hike! Something I'd like to do someday. Not the whole thing, don't have the time but a small piece would be nice.
Made the 'fake' mac and cheese tonight. Not bad considering I used non-fat cream cheese, 75% fat free cheddar and fat free half n half. I also didn't precook the cauliflower, just ran it under ho****er to thaw it then squeezed out most of the water. I like it pretty crispy and I figured that the heating in the oven would cook enough for me. Need to calculate the protein per serving. Will post it as soon as I get it done.

Yes, when we all get to goal, we will have to meet up and do something amazing like that! Or maybe all go bungee jumping!
I really must try that recipe. Thanks for posting the nutritional info! :-)

Hmmmm... I may try it your way.... I need the fat but no one else here does (I only absorb 20% of what I eat). My only question was the carb count in the low-fat 1/6 serving. It seems "off" from the ratio of everything else....
Thanks for modifying it for us all!!!
