Here you go girls! Grab that mug and come sit for a while:

Before:


After baking. I think I already had one.....see all those missing corners? Can you guess where they are???? They are slightly crumbly so I guess the xanthan gum in them is a good thing. Very good substitute for the real thing, although they don't even compare. My sister gets me some called Semi-Freddie from San Francisco and they are to die for!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

well--- they look delish!!! Were they fairly easy to make??

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Yes, they wre easy to make. I couldn't find the almond flour so i did what the recipe said. I had to break 'em down a little in the cuisinart first, then put in blender until
flour-y!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Silly, I'm so sad to hear you're never making them again. They look like they turned out really good. I don't even mind slightly crumbly! was it because they don't compare to the real thing. Or, were they just bad tasting. Because, I'm pretty use to things not comparing to the "real deal".

I loved the almond cookies and peanut butter cookies that I used to make. They had a slight splenda taste, but, they were really good. I wish I could find the recipes! I need to do a really thorough search.

Thanks for trying the recipe for everyone!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

No Cher, they are actually good! That's why I won't make 'em again....dangerously tasty and with the Splenda taste!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Oh yum! I see, That's why the corner's were missing...lol

Funny Silly. At least they're LC!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Yeh-- I am not sure Iwill be weighing anytime soon. My belly is soooooo bloated right now it is unreal. And I have read it is common fopr this to last 6-8 weeks. I am devisitated!!!! I cant fit into any of my normal clothes, I probably couldnt wear them anyhow due to the incision pain... But I feel prego!!!

It is Big and Hard....The pain is subsididng, this is going to be a ong slow healing process. Guess I need to realize that NOW- -and get on with it. I was suppose togo away this weekedn with my hubby and his softball team to their state tourneys. I have never missed them, but it iis going to be high 90's and I have no idea what to wear. I thought some empire waited tanks would cover the bloating up, but ummmm, now I need to worry about the bottom !!!!

If I feel up to it I amy go shopping later for something.... Will see!!!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

bjs - this is a perfect time for you to join the challenge then. Take the pressure off of yourself for the next month. I just cheated today, by the way, so I'm giving my scale to my girlfriend to keep till August 9th.

I can't believe you were planning a weekend away right after your surgery - you really are brave. I wouldn't have planned any big plans for 2 - 4 weeks. I'm sure that's what your doctor told you. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a little better - it will take a a little longer for the pain to go away completely, but it sounds like you are through the worst part. The bloating will take a while - please be gentle with yourself. Your body is in a bit of shock right now!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

well Hubby took me shopping. I got some cute clothes that fit comfy; so I will more then likely got to the tourneys this weeekend.

It sounds a bit much but my options are to go, stay home alone, or go to camp with my family having about 50 peopel there for a reuinion. I will not relax with a crowd there, so I am not goin gto camp until Monday whenthe crowd clears. I hate to be home alone, my neighbors are even goin gto b gone for the weekend,s o not the best idea.

So, I will go with HUbby, team and some great wives of the players as well. I will watch games, will be relaxing sitting, and if I feel it is too much a friend and his wife will make it priority to get me back to A/C'd Hotel room. So, I figure I will be relaxing while I am gone. and will be with plenty of caring people. If the games or heat are too much, I can always rest at the room. So I feel comfortable doing that.


This will all be pending on my night tonight and how I feel in a.m.; but it is my plan.

Thanks for all the support and concern, you all have been wonderful.

Yip I will rest. I have a great group of guys aware of my recuperation period. They have vowed to kick my a$$, If I try to carrry anything or misbehave.

We are a close group, and they will help me out and make sure I behave. I am just glad I can be with them as I always am, and be able to support them!!!
