I'm beginning to settle down now with my eating. I'm running over by just a little now. I think I will have the sweet thing under control in a few weeks if not days now. Like Amy and Nadine did, I may or probably will have to go on a no sweets for a month to get them out of my system. I will say one thing though, I did discover one low fat brownie mix that my husband enjoys that makes single servings that is 120 calories per serving. It is a no fat brownie made with yogurt. Now that I need to give up sweets for a while, I will have to put these brownies on the back burner, but I can easily make them for my husband's lunch. For those who are interested in this product, check out : No Pudge ! FUDGE BROWNIE Mix distributed by Reily Foods Co. www.NoPudge.com. I found this product at Whole Foods. You can make a single serving in the micro wave is less than 2 minutes.

In the mean time, I have gone to simpler meals with fewer ingredients. This was the key to my weight loss diet the first time. I got kind of bored after a year and a half eating simple meals, but it works because simple meals have less calories in them and more bulk. They are usually just a grilled piece of meat, steamed veggie, and a simple starch, with a fruit dessert. Then one day a week I would make a more complicated recipe like a meatloaf or a casserole. Lunches woulds often be sandwiches, salads, and fruit. My breakfast is usually an eggbeater omelet, an english muffin or corn tortilla, and a piece of fruit. Then for snacks I eat fresh veggies and hummus, popcorn, pretzels and cheese, yogurt, crackers and cheese, granola bars, etc.

I was a bad girl today and didn't get too much exercise in. I caught up on paper work and tv shows that I had recorded over the past two weeks today. I also spent time with my dogs who were feeling neglected since I was gone a lot last week. Xena was all over me today every time I sat down. Callie was finally learning her place and routine of how we watch tv now. Xena sits next to me, Callie sits between my legs on the stool where I prop my legs up with her head on my lap.

I am going to get my hubby's anniversary present tomorrow. He wants his No2 tank for his car filled. I'm going to a specialty store to have it filled. Although there aren't too many occasions he can push that button on his car to make the nitro make his car go fast. Still, he likes to have it in his car for bragging rights and to take friends out on the highway and show off. So, wifie, will go get the tank of nitrous filled for him and put a red ribbon on the button for our Anniversary.

Well, have a good day.
