Menus and Miles Tuesday Oct. 27th

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! I have IC (Irritable Bladder Syndrome) and I can only have them while I'm not having a flare up. It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

It's pouring here today (Wed.). I had a lot of errands to do before work and my DGD made running in the rain fun or I would have been miserable.

Our Dairy Queen has been advertising Ciabatta rolls and I've been secretly thinking I would love to sneak up there and have one.

Sounds Good!

How many days ahead do you make your cakes? I always wondered how long it takes our cake lady to make a huge wedding cake. How does it stay fresh?

I've been confused about your Lunch...lol

Sounds Good!

I usually cook my cakes on Thursday for Saturday delivery. Once I do the crumb coat icing they will stay fresh so I usually cook and ice the same day so they will stay fresh inside. Since this one was for Thursday, I did it on Tuesday. I have a red velvet cake to cook tomorrow for Friday. I haven't done one of those in years so I sure hope it turns out ok. The humidity here is horrible right now so it always affects the baking/setting and the icing.

Our church was chosen for the Tim Tebow Night to Shine. It is a prom for special needs over 16 years of age. They have limos, make up artists, hair stylists and dates. It is a wonderful project. I was asked to do the cake and it needs to feed around 230 people. This will be one of the largest I have ever done.

My lunch- LOL. My DD wanted spaghetti the other day when they stopped by so I cooked spaghetti sauce and noodles. I don't eat the noodles so I just pour the spaghetti sauce over my salad and put a little ranch dressing on it and it is delicious. I have never mixed my sauce and noodles together because I used to just eat the noodles with butter on them...things have changed.

One of our local churches did that type of Prom too and I heard it was a lot of fun.

My DGkids love spaghetti when they come. One doesn't want meat and one only wants plain noodles so I have several dirty pans to wash. The 3 yr. old can eat as much spaghetti as Pappy. Fortunately they like the sauce I buy because there is no way they would get it every week if I had to make it.

I didn't realize there was a crumb coat icing. I wondered how they always looked smooth.

I was in a free fail all day. I have an interview for a job at HQ Wednesday and I ate my nervousness all day Tuesday. :(

That was supposed to say "free fall"...dang OH and its formatting.

I hope I never have to go on another interview! I completely understand nervous eating. I hope it went well!
