I was going to make chikcen ala king tonight over rice with chinese noodles.But my lady(90 yo) wasnt very hungry and to be honest,neither was i.It been so hot!
so i settled on a glass of orange pineapple banana juice and 2 english muffins with butter and orange marmalade.And its the best dinner ive had all week,it was delicious!She had a boston market TV dinner,chicken parm,which she said was rather tasty.
Im working nights here every night now from 5 pm til noon the next day.This is my first week,and its not so bad.Its so quiet here compard to my house,almost like being on vacation,i can read when i want,etc...and im getting paid!!!Who could ak for more?!?!!?!?~KIM
I made hamburgers on my George Forman, it makes the best! A little easier on the fat too. Topped off with fresh tomatoes and Vidalia onions....yummy!
I need to really concentrate on more diet conscious meals. I did really good eating celery, gosh, ate a whole bunch myself. I was eating salads for lunch all last week, low cal italian dressing. Like I told ya though, I put the 2 lbs back on while we were on vacation.
I wish it wasn't so hot, I need to get walking, but my feet and ankles have been hurting so bad. I think alot has to do with the extra weight, but I have arthritis in my toes from all the surgeries I've had.

Janet,i hear you,i need to start eating better.Im taking the Alli,but im not doing my part as far as the eating goes,i NEED to get it under control,its so darn hard!!!!!
Carol,have you tried the crystal light peach iced tea,it is to die for,i absolutlely love it!
Ive never tried SB,but i did atkins religiously for 3 years and lost and maintained a huge weight loss,unfortunately once i quit the pp's the weight all came back on.
Good for you for sticking to the diet,keeping to your plan.It sucks getting this big and having to start all over again .I love salad and celery and ranch dressing,chicken wings,but i swear,i couldnt eat one more egg if i was starving to death,lol.~KIM

It is so discouraging Kim. I didn't do a specific diet, but cut down on my fat intake, exercised like a maniac and got into a size 7. Like I said before though, I was taking Adipex and it helped me. I also lost a bunch of weight really quick when I was going to Overeaters Anonymous and ditched sugar. I know this yoyo dieting is NOT good for me, but I know this extra weight isn't either. I wish I had listened to myself when I was starting to pack it back on and got back into exercise and eating right. Doesn't help that our main dish is beef cause we have a cow butchered every year. i could eat chicken 24/7.
oh well, I really need to learn acceptance....

Football season has started here so my men get a manly dinner here tonight when they get home. Microwave Sloppy Joes. Gotta love it. Shantel
Ummmmmm yummy yum!
Shrimp cocktail - grilled steak marinaded in worcester sauce with fresh garlic, tarragon, cracked black pepper and a dash of salt - mediterranean rice with pine nuts - and fresh string green and yellow beans cooked with green peppers, onions, 'maters, and mushrooms.
Did I mention the kids were here for dinner tonight?
I don't usually cook like this on week nights but it's been a few weeks since my "kids" were here.
Bon appetite everyone!

Pasta - I could eat it every night. I limit myself to once a week.
I could be a vegetarian - almost - I like grilled chicken and an occcational HB.
I could eat my pasta w/just tomato sace but husband like beef - I keep me a little pot of just sauce for mine.
I love Chicken Alfredo, Lasagna, any kind of pasta with red sauce or cream sauce.
Sounds like e'one is eating healthier than I am. It's kind of hard with 2 people when I was used to cooking for 5.
I love to cook one dish meals - I have a lot of those.

i had 2 ears of corn on the cob from the farmers market, one ear was white and the other was bi-color, i also had some pork and beans! i am embarrased! i am a fantastic cook too! but i lost the desire to cook when i started pain pills, and now the boys are working and we never get to sit down as a family to eat anymore
i used to cook a homemade meal nightly when the boys were little! holidays were a double!
plus breakfast and lunch too!
i was a stay at home mom for some of those years
