What's your plan for lunch Jean?

I just ate 4 roasted chicken drum sticks and 1 cup of frozen

brocolli/cauliflower mix topped with a couple of ounces of cheddar cheese -

it actually reheated nicely!

Kirstie

(still needing to drink 12 more oz. of water before that 1st cup of tea can

happen!)

yay jean....

brings up a question I keep forgetting to ask..is it

better to space out your water or to drink it quickly

in *clumps*?

I find I lose more if I drink a lot at a time....than

if I sip casually all day long...

any comments?

I don't know...I drink mine in 16 oz spurts and I lose

quite well usually I tend to think that as long as

you get a LOT in, does it really matter?

Hmm...I wonder if it does?

I want you to know that I had some horrible cravings

for pizza earlier and I decided I was going to stop

on the way home from work and get some. Well,

wouldn't you know it, everytime I thought of pizza after

I made the decision to get some, I heard your name in

my head. I am not kidding LOL. Your name has been

in my head for hours. I passed up the pizza for you so

make it through this day for me =-)

I'll be waiting to hear how you end your day.

Thanks, Laverne. I made it through lunch today and passed up a decadent

dessert this afternoon that someone was sharing. So I think it will be

another good day. Breakfast and dinner I eat at home and bring my own

treats, so lunch which I eat out with my sister is my real challenge because

our options here are quite limited. Today I had a grilled chicken Caesar

salad and avoided all of the croutons as well as the whole can of mandarin

oranges they put on the side and the roll. I was going to do a pork loin

roast in the crock pot today, but I didn't think about it in time and had

hit the snooze alarm once too often to mess with it. I will get it all

prepared for tomorrow tonight so that all I need to do is plug it in. I'm

open to suggestions on how to fix it in the crock pot, I know it was a

discussion topic a couple of weeks ago, but...

I am part way through my second liter of water for the day, so that should

not be a problem. I did get lots of exercise tripping to the bathroom all

night long last night though!

I ate very, very well yesterday but I have to bring some treats this Friday

to work and I think I will make one LC treat and one regular high carb

treat. Well, looking at the recipes really set off some cravings. So I

might experiment with some new LC treats that everyone might like to avoid

the temptation. I did resist the cravings, but I couldn't believe how

strong they were just from looking at recipes!

I am a carb addict, but I can beat this.
