The lovely Diva said something, that I am sure was tongue in cheek, about her "measely three pounds". I think that we need to remember that each of our bodies are different and while I may be on a plan where I lose 7lbs in a week, you can't compare yourself to that if you are on a plan where you lose 7lbs in two weeks.

Just as we are all different in how we think, etc, our bodies are wired differently. I think that ALL of our victories and efforts are cause for celebrations with fanfare and grandiosity!

Kudos to each of us in our efforts to be healthier!

Thank You, Christie......it was tongue in cheek.....

And I can't say "measely" any more....because I've lost 5 now....

WTG!!!

I am really back on the no carb wagon now! I came home early this week and Jess had made me a delish broccoli soup and ground chuck steak dinner - no carbs! yay!

I have discovered that WaWa not only has the eggs/bacon bowls, but i can have them take a cheesesteak and make it in a bowl too! I hope with the sale of Ukrops to Giant that I dont lose the amazing salad bar! That would be tragic!

If you miss mashed potatoes, try mashed cauliflower. Chili's used to serve this dish. Really loved it. I also like mashed turnips.

Blame that on my crazy Yankee aunt. She blames it on our cousins in Ireland.

I joined sparkpeople today and because my exercise is limited, I am going to track my nutritional levels to see just where I'm at.
I have DDD, fibro and arthritis so there are things I just can't participate in.
