Sorry you are under the weather. I think everyone I know has had it at least once this season.

So sorry you have the icky sicky stuff.  I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Sorry that you caught the bug.  If it is the same one we have up north it hangs on forrrevvverrrrrr.... Seriously, 8 weeks!  Our Packers had it when they lost to SF.  I couldn't imagine trying to call out plays to men with stuffed ears that couldn't hear.  Hope you feel better.  I commend you for staying on track with your food and I hope you have a speedy recovery.  Tri

All in all Sunday was a pretty good day for me. I really enjoyed the slow pace of the day.

Breakfast:       Protein Bar

Lunch:             Hamburger steak, pickled beets & collards & 1 sweet potato biscuit

snack:             Trail Mix

Dinner:            Sausage & cheese omelet

I have to brag on myself for a minute and tell you about my breakfast....our Sunday school class always has multitudes of Dunkin Donuts and a couple of pots of coffee while we have our lesson. I brought my coffee from home and peeled back my protein bar and ate while we were having class. I felt just as indulged as they were but I didn't have the sugar crash later and I was very satisfied with my "meal". It must have worked because Sunday Lunch was a big southern affair at my Moma's and I only had 1 biscuit.  Completely skipped the mashed potatoes and gravy and couldn't have eaten dessert if my life depended on it.

Getting on my vitamin schedule is going fairly well (or so I thought) I took all of my vitamins yesterday but this morning I realized that I never took my normal meds.

Awesome Day!  I am proud of you that you looked the donut in the eye and walked away.  That is one of my triumphs too!

That is really great!  Even the sweet potato biscuit (I would love the recipe) is better than a white flour biscuit because of the high fiber and vitamins in sweet potatoes rather than refined wheat.  I would love to make them swapping out healthy oil for whatever fat is in them and Splenda to replace the sugar (if there is any).  I love the spices in family recipes.  To make it through essentially 2 parties without a major food feast is really   wonderful.  Congratulations, Tri
