Well.......I'm not an employed teacher. I have an expired certificate K-12. But teaching is definitely in my blood. I also have a bachelor's in Speech Pathology. It's a long story, but I never ended up getting a teaching job. I did a lot of subbing, teacher assisting and daycare. Now I'm out of the loop. I spent my "good" years raising 5 kids. Some of which, step-kids, had some MAJOR problems. I'll fill you in at lunch on Monday.

Oh,..... maybe there's a Cost Plus in Elgin, which Ilse would know. She's the shopper of the bunch.

Kerry - I am glad you found the syrups. Have you tried them yet? I looked in the coffee section at two grocery stores and our super walmart and they didn't have them.

Hey Kerry,

BTW - We moved up from Newbies to Low Carbers!!! OOO LA LA



Peace, Joanna

I was so worried about the fiber thing when I first started induction. I used the sugar free orange flavored stuff for a couple of weeks and it didn't really seem to make a difference, and it does have some carbs. I decided that I just needed to let nature take its course, that my body needed to get used to this new way of eating. What was normal before I started the low carb diet isn't normal for me now. I just don't worry about it and everything works out in the end.

Sorry...had to go for the cheap laugh.

Yeah I noticed that too. We have grad gee ated!

Paladin - If you're hankerin' for milk, try WestSoy's Soyslender soy milk. It's made with Splenda and comes in vanilla, chocolate, and cappucino flavors, all of which are pretty good. Heated up in microwave and doctored up a little with DaVinci's syrups...mmmmmmm (you can find this at a HFS or some grocery stores, in baking aisle with boxed milk products. It comes in a box) Did I mention the best part - 1g net carbs per cup!

Thanks, I will look for it next time I go to the market. I will also pass it on to my mom. She is low carbing too and really misses milk.

Barb Keith:
Thanks too. I have looked for it, but have not found the carb countdown milk. They don't have it in my store yet.

Oh, that Westsoy stuff is the best stuff in the world. I love it! I bought 4 more cartons last night.
