You should tell him you need Snow Battle Pay.

I will lose weight the first week.. usually cause I haven't taken my water pills and it's right in the middle of TOM.. so the weight loss is fantastic.. the 2nd week and beyond. it is slower than a turtle..then I get frustrated and binge.. it's almost like a cycle of abuse I swear..

Welllll.. Wed is bagel bacon day for hubs.. so I will make the package of bacon.. and have a couple of slices along with my big fat steak...I toast a bagel with cream cheese and pile it high with bacon.. and make a sandwich for hubs...then tonight I am going to make a bacon cheeseburger for sonny boy as he is playing in the basketball game.. their team both girls and boys is supposed to go all the way...

So I am hoping the steak and bacon hold me for the entire day and evening...

[crazyone]

by the way thanks to Hubs I broke 2 of my nails.. they were the perfect length. and now they look like crap... I thought I would be a good wife and make his side of the bed and so I hit my hand against the wall thus breaking 2 long nails...

Chewie, this looks really yummy!!!! Lony, your recipe also sounds great!

Mona, I am a night snacker also. Hubs and I have always had a snack at night. He decided a couple of weeks ago to try and stop it. He has been doing a good job of it so I've been working on it also. I find when I am watching tv it is a tricker for me. I think I want food when watching tv. I can come here here and get on the computer in the evenings and I do ok.
Focus, I really like pork rinds also. I like them with cream cheese.
I used to fix them in a brown bag with butter and sweetener and cinnamon. I'm going to try and not do that this time around on LC. That was like candy to me!

Night snacking is hard to stop! We just get so conditioned to eating while doing certain activities.

I've never been able to hack pork rinds. Just the smell when I open the bag. I tried breading some chicken with them and could not eat them. Into the trash they went.

[focus83]

I am addicted, once i open a bag i cant stop until i finish it. I brought loads when i saw them on offer but now i know i cant control myself i am going to limit to one bag for the whole week. Its the calories, i dont count carb or calories but i think when i dont lose its due to too much calorie consumption.

Going for a 20 mins walk after work before i go home and have dinner. Need to get any extra exercise in where i can. x

[crazyone]

Man I have to admit pork rinds do stink....but call me nuts it makes the best oven fried chicken....well to me......and to make me an even bigger oink oink..I dip the chicken in melted butter first.,,

[crazyone]

Great job Focus!

This looks so good to me but I love Cuban sandwiches;

Jen's Cuban Sandwich Spread
1 can Lite Spam (yes, Spam! it grinds up more smoothly than regular deli ham. If you are categorically opposed to Spam, by all means use deli ham instead.)
4 heaping tbsp Dill Pickle relish (or chop up whole dill pickles)
2-3 tsp of dill pickle juice (from the relish or pickle jar)
6 oz (3/4 of a block) of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup 0% Greek Yogurt
1-2 tbsp mayonnaise
3-4 tbsp yellow prepared mustard (or Dijon works, too)
Cut the Spam into blocks and put it in the bowl of your food processor ,then pulse until it is well chopped. Now add in the other ingredients and process until it becomes a smooth spread. You don't need to add ANY salt AT ALL. Taste it and adjust the mustard/Greek yogurt/mayo ratio to your taste. Store it in a covered container in the fridge, or dive right in and get your Cuban on.

Lucky be careful..OMG your weather is one of our number one news stories out here..

[lucky51]

I am planning to stay home tomorrow. If my internet stays up, I can do a lot of it from home.

So I weighed myself after waking up, peeing, and naked (of course). 288. Guess I'd better change my stats, eh?
