I gotta boil some eggs for egg salad. Every time I read in your journal about egg salad, I think how good it sounds! And I have lots & lots of fresh eggs, guess I'll boil the oldest ones, they peel the easiest.

Have a good week.

I just put them on every sunday Nita, usually a good dozen so I can take two to work with me for my breakfast.
I got an email from our old friend we talked about ... sent it to you under PM.....


This week and last have been a little hard on me food wise, but I didn't do too bad, am aware I am losing my control, and am working on gaining it back... Lunch today was out at a nice Thai restaurant across the street from work.... had a salad with lots of lettuce, cukes, and beef, a lime/garlic dressing, and way too much celantro... have to tell them next time to hold the celantro (I don't like very much of it)
anyway, tonite is left overs, there is some chicken and some carne guisada I made on sunday,... not sure what I will eat, but it will be after volleyball tonite.

tomorrow taking friend that has been here from alaska (she leaves on saturday) out to dinner at a wonderful cajun restaurant called Gumbos... will eat me some good fish... salad, no rice....

saturday... going out with the volleyball ladies, and will encourage us to go somewhere I can eat salad....
dinner sat and sunday are going to be salad meals... not sure what yet....

must get back to my correct eating, must do it , I will and I can do it....

my weekend wasn't so bad, I kept myself from eating icecream. and I really wanted to stop at the dairy queen....
.. but did eat a few things I shouldn/t but dinner friday night was superb....you know we go out to eat about once a week, and we usually go to a "regular" place - dinner is no higher than 15.00 per person, and it is a place we are used to going. We went to a great restaurant on friday where the waiters put the napkin on you lap when you sit down, and it was so elegant....I forgot how good the food was at this place... a little pricey ... 4 people, three drinks, 2 salads, and 2 appetizers, and 4 entre's total before tip came to 138.00... it was great food, and didn't go home stuffed... even took food home .... (there were free deserts)...I had a salad with almonds, apples, and goat cheese, followed by chicken coated with pecans and topped with crab meat.. mmmm....
the rest of the weekend, we had hamburgers for dinner on saturday and sunday was a little chicken cassarole I put together....
Friend visiting from Tenn, brought two 1/2 wolf cubs (oh they are so cute... about 8 weeks old and so rambuncious forgot how nice puppies were....

today I am trying to watch my food, eggs for breakfast (no mayo, just boiled eggs) slice of lc bread, some ham...
coffee
lunch ... not sure yet... maybe a blt salad, maybe tuna...
dh not feeling good (probably allergies) and doesn't want to cook and asked me to bring something home... I hate having to do that... maybe go to grocery store and get a cooked chicken or turkey breast and have a nice salad with it... get him some soup....
thats it for now

Carolyn, just stopping by, hadn't seen you journaling lately, although I did see you post elsewhere around here.

Wanted to tell you I'm thinking about you, sending a bit of encouragement your way. Tell you dh hello for me, ok?

I am here, have been here, just wan't posting cause I wasn't keeping track of food and eating wrong... and feeling a little hard on myself (which I usually don't do)...
anyway, have been working toward eating on plan again...knowing how hard it is I started on saturday and had taco salad for lunch, dinner I pan fried a nice steak for DH and me and made a salad with artichoke hearts, tomato( grape) gorgonzola cheese, and some wonderful blue cheese dressing and pigged out..
had enough steak to have same dinner on sunday night.

boiled my eggs for breakfast, and also made some mini quiche's and have brought a store full of stuff (only kidding) to work to keep in my drawer in the fridge to snack on... blackberries, ham, yogurt... etc...
anyway, I swam on sunday (first time in months) and realized how much I really missed that... (aqua aerobics and volleyball are good, but I neeeded more) so I am going to try to go to the gym on wed, and friday to swim...
I still want to get a set of Richard Simmons tapes to do either early morning or at night before bed...
anyone out there want to let go of their Richard simmons tapes, let me know
back on the one meal at a time mode, can't think much more past that for now, if I make it thru the week, then I will go for one week at a time... but for now, just one meal...

thats it for now, thanks Nita and Rob for the encouragement... and visits.... can't stay too long taking thursday and friday off from work to get taxes together... so I have a lot to do to be able to take off..

take care all
later

Carolyn, sometimes I think it's "one mouthful at a time". I know exactly what you're going through. Just take it step by step. You can't change the past, but you can control the future.

Have fun with the taxes!

yesterday wasn't so bad, tho I was a little high on carbs, today will be better, am working on getting back down to 20 carbs a day...tomorrow I will be there....
tonite is a meet and greet with my avon managers' boss at marie calendars - a pie social - and I know I will have a piece of pie, tho, Debbie did say she had ordered some fruit, so I may be able to get by with just some fruit... we shall see....

thanks rob for the great words of encouragement... I can use all the help I can get right now...not sure what happened, but am having a hard time keeping on track... I do good for one or two meals, then blow it, or one or two days, and then blow it... need to see what is going on... I know my sleep isn;t great, but then it hasn't been great for about four years.... menopause....

working on one meal at a time, let me get thru that and I am happy...
take care
carolyn
