Morning boys and girls!

Well, I'm off to do a few things but will be back later.

Breakfast was 2 hb eggs and 10 sugar snap peas with 16oz of water.

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

I threw a whole bag of sugar snap peas away after eating one. It never clicked for me, I HATE sweet peas, and just never put 2 & 2 together that they were the same damn thing except with the pods. LOL. GROSS! to me, a veggie shouldn't be sweet.....and they are sweet and I don't like them!!!!!

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Yeah, Jen, they are definitely sweet. But that's one of the things that I like about them.

About them being the same as sweet peas... what are sweet peas? Do you mean those little green mushy balls? I have always hated those, but I love these.

Since you don't like sweet veggies, does that mean you never eat raw red or yellow bell peppers? My husband doesn't like them because they are sweet. But these peppers and sugar snap peas are my "candy", I guess, in this WOE. They satisfy my desire for the occasional sweet while fulfilling my veggie and fiber requirements. I eat all of these almost every day.

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Mmm, I love colored bell peppers, too! I'm eating a red one right now...

Point of information: Mojitos are made with RUM.

My menus have been sort of all over the place this week. Some days I have more carbs and fewer calories, some days I have lots of calories and a mid-range of carbs. I'm sore as heck from weight lifting, so I'm holding on to water. I've been aiming for 90g carbs this week.

L: 1 flat-out wrap, 1 oz. mozzarella, 1 serving pepperoni; 1.5 cups of green beans, 1 large red bell pepper

D: grilled chicken, cauliflower with mayo/mustard, frozen string beans
S: Kashi whole grain veggie crackers with dill dip or brie

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Nope, never eat red or yellow bell peppers, I do mix them with the green and some yellow onion when I make pork stir fry though and that's yummy!

*what possessed me to eat cashews today? I already know that I like them too much. And I already know that I shouldn't eat any kind of salted nuts because I like them so much. So the fact that I ate salted cashews was brave/stupid. The almonds that I eat are unsalted, natural ones. I wanted something to go with my sugar snap peas and I usually do an ounce of cheddar cheese, but I was really hungry so I grabbed the cashews. I was able to stop at 1/2 ounce, and it did stop my hunger... but it was a miracle that I was able to stop when I did. I won't be doing that again.
