Are you down to be with 3 Skinny Chicks??

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Good morning my little chickens! It's gray and gloomy here (June Gloom is back!), but, heck, it's a good morning anyway!

Day 9 of Re-Induction and I'm feeling really good. My pants are looser and my belt no longer fits. I'm about 2 inches past the last hole! I'm hoping for good good good news when I weigh in on Monday! It's also Day 9 of no scale. It's been trying, but I really needed a lesson in patience.

Welcome Gigi Lafoo! Glad to see you on this thread. We are a crazy loving bunch! And, yes, the Kremes of Krispy are so so evil. Why does there have to be a store only 3 blocks from my house? Temptation lurks at every corner, but I am perserving! I hope you are too!

Later gators.

I remember the June Gloom from my honeymoon in LA last year Stacy. Still had a great time though. My greatest LA regret is I can't have a huge enchilada for lunch and a giant chocolate strawberry (or 3!) for dessert at Farmer's Market anymore. With all that freshness around I am sure I can find something luscious though.

You have iron willpower if you can resist Krispy Kreme a mere 3 blocks away! It's all I can do to forget there's a shop 30 miles away.

Note to self: I have sugar free jello in the fridge, I have sugar free jello in the fridge, I have sugar free jello in the fridge............

Have you tried some of the Induction-friendly desserts on tihs site, or on Linda's site? Are you still on Induction? There are a lot of great things to make. My personal favorite is Panna Cotta, which is an Italian cream, sort of custard-y. Yummy! And it's so easy to make!

I've actually pulled apart enchiladas!! Torn it limb from limb is more like it! I deconstruct almost everything!

I'm looking forward to being on maintenance where I can have a chocolate dipped strawberry once in a blue moon! Thank goodness I no longer live close to the Farmer's Market - I used to go to Dupar's for breakfast every Sunday - pancakes . . . bad! But now I live in Santa Monica where there are 2, yes 2, farmers' markets every week and I can get all the fresh veggies, and eventually fruit, I can handle. I can't wait to start adding fruit back!

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Where is Linda's site? My cravings for sweets have really plummeted but once a week or so I'll whip some cream with a bit of Splenda. I love CarbSmart ice cream but I can't get it very often because I'll want to much of it is it's in the fridge. I am waiting for a few more lbs to come off before I indulge at all. My biggest weakness has to be salty, crunchy snacks. I love to veg and read and munch way too much. Now it's maybe a kosher pickle and a few induction veggies for a snack! I'm off induction as soon as I hit 140 and am stalled at 144. I have a Whooshie Pie in the oven to eat on for a couple of days so maybe it'll be soon.

BTW I LOVE Santa Monica. DH has to take me all over when we are in LA and we HAVE to go through Santa Monica everytime. I've gotta hit the Farmer's Markets there next time.

Linda's site (sorry, I don't know why I didn't post it!) is http://users3.ev1.net/~fontlady/

Lots of good ideas in there!

Only 4 pounds, Gigi! Only 4 pounds! You can do it! Although I have to say that Whooshie Pie was a little on the gross side for me. I've been adding horseradish (the purported whooshie factor) to my tuna salad instead!

I do like living in Santa Monica. The farmers' markets are on Wednesday and Saturday on Arizona between 4th and 2nd. Totally worth going. It's great to actually meet the people who grow your produce!

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Thanks Stacy! Those recipes look great. I am such a soup maker and especially want to try some of those.

The meat in the Whooshie Pie was fine but the filling about did me in. I may try something other than cream cheese if I make it again. I don't like eggs and it looked all too eggy for my taste. Maybe some tender pot roast with horseradish in lettuce cups. With a little drizzle of mustard. I could handle that.

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Now that sounds good! I mix in a little horsey with my mustard to make a little dipping sauce for my chicken. Little ways to get it in my food!

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Hey Tommy! Glad to hear you had a good time at the pool with the ladies!

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Morning kits and kittens! 3 days to weigh-in. I'm praying for Onederland! Will you all kneel and pray with me? Oh Great and Wonderful Whooshie Fairy, please grace each of us with your presense when we next step on the scale!

All is well is my world. Generally feeling quite happy. Had dinner with my girlfriend and her fiance who are getting married next May. Lots of fun talk about goofy things to do for their big day! I can't wait! Besides, I will be at goal and look unbelievably good!

Later, my little chickens! Smoochies . . .

Stacy
p.s. Welcome back, Tommy. The boards haven't been the same without you!

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Stacy I hope the whooshie fairy tap dances her way across your fat cells shrinking them to a miniscule status! Ive been so impressed withyour vow of not weighing and breakingup with the scale! Im one of those daily weighers unless Im away from home. Talk about some willpower you have! you go girl!

Iml eaving this afternoont o go camping. And am actually excited abouti t!! just a relaxing weekend. Took me awhile to package out foods for hiking (ounce size portions of nuts, jerky etc etc) and to figure out what to take since the PreAtkins staples for my camping werent allowed (corn onthe cob for roasting over a fire, lots of fresh fruits, melons, peaches etc etc, prepackaged trail mix etc). But Ive got the menus semi planned out and Ive got enough goodies for me to not feel deprived. (And Im picking up a peach pie for my friend which doesnt interest me in the slightest).

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

Hey Tired. Well, I'm in the stage of my life where I'm breaking bad habits, so this was only one more!

Your trip sounds like loads of fun! And look for prepared you will be! Excellent planning! I hope the skeeters stay away!

Re: Are you down to be with *3 Skinny Chicks*??

I went off my eating plan while in Vegas and I am paying for it now grrrr. Sugar and flour were scarce in Vegas because I was eating it all! It seemed like a good idea at the time and it tasted good and the sugar gave me a high lol. The sugar also made me crash like a mad man. Anyways I dont recommend eating like that ever. I feel fat and gross lol and have been craving sugar when I never used too. Its like relapsing on drugs I would guess and its that much tougher to get off.
