You know what would be funny...and nice? If when I leave here...and all of the weight of the stress disappears...it would be funny if the weight on my body literally disappeared too.

Our local theater is putting on "The Full Monty" next month. I never saw the movie and didn't know if it was worth $40/ea to go and see it. It also includes a luncheon...

By the way our friend died of cancer this morning at 10:10AM. I washed and ironed his shirt the other day for his wife. Took up a meal for her the other day as she was just eating baked potatoes (she's diabetic). When I got the call I rushed to her house. Thank goodness she had his cousin and her husband arrive from the east coast of Florida to be with her. She was not in the bedroom when he passed and didn't want to see him one more time. The other people kept her busy in the laundry room when they put him on the gurney and wheeled him out of the house. It was sad - but he had a peaceful death at home and is not in any more pain. I just tried calling her but the cousin took her to the funeral home and then they must have gone out to dinner. We removed the hospital bed, oxygen, etc. from the bedroom and moved her bed back where it belonged. I vacuumed and put away all the lotions/etc. that belonged to him so they were not visible when she enters into the room.

One more thing - went with my husband to the cancer doctor and he confirmed that he does have CLL (Chronic Lympo Leukemia) Stage 0 ....

That sure was good news as people can live with that for years. The only thing he will have to watch out for is colds, infections, etc. because the white blood cells have a tendency to decrease. So some good news and then some sad news.

Oh yes - on the Fascination thread - not much new except Heidi had to attend another deposition and she did show up. Don't know the outcome of that as it remains private. She is still taking new memberships and has increased her fees to something like $70+.

Cheryl, I am so sorry about your friend, but thankful he had a "peaceful" death and that he is now at "peace".

That is good news on your husband.

Stress is a funny thing, people either lose alot of weight fast or Gain alot of weight fast. YOU have been "steady" in your losing, which is totally AWESOME and means that you have been fighting a huge battle and are winning.

The good news, is that when you are out of that stressful environment, you already have this WOE as your lifestyle and "Norm". I would think that it would only get easier on you. This has been the "hard" part and you have Done it!

Thanks, sweetie!!!!

You always have the nack for making me feel better.

I remember Winslow telling me...that if I stuck to this....I'd be in Onederland by the end of January. I hope that this will be true. Although, looking at the calendar....I won't be weighing again...until February 1.

Greetings All,

Sorry, I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger and just have time to post a note. I haven't even read today but twice yesterday, I started to post but by the time I read I didn't have time so will do it first. So bear in mind that I way behind.

About nine of us from work met yesterday for lunch. Linda's friends. We spent several hours together as the retirees stayed and the employees came and went on their lunch hour. Her service will be tomorrow at noon.

Lots of phone calls and that sort of thing plus my own family's needs (Amanda's play) have me a bit overwhelmed.

When I need comic relief, I know just where to come, that is if I can work it in...

Y'all are amazing. Thanks for the humor, it has helped me tremendously.

Gotta run my Sr. friend for his morning cuppa and will try to get back later.

Jean

Here are a couple of more recipes posted by cleo...they look good!!!!

Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

pork rinds
Mrs Dash Seasoning Blend (I use Garlic and Herb)
string cheese
1 egg
hot oil in a skillet (I use canola)

Preheat the skillet with oil in it.

While the oil is heating, crush the pork rinds in a gallon ziplock bag with a rolling pin until the pieces are bread-crumb-fine. Add Mrs Dash.

Mix the egg in a bowl. This is going to be the egg bath.

Take the string cheese, completely cover it with egg in the egg bowl. Transfer the cheese to the ziplock bag.

The crumbs will not want to stick to the cheese, and because you need the cheese to be completely covered, you are going to want to firmly "mold" the rind crumbs around the cheese.

Cook in preheated oil until the coating is lightly browned. Move to a plate covered with a paper towel to drain.

Serve warm with ranch dressing or marinara sauce

Chix' Boneless Buffy Wings

canola oil
chicken breast, cut into smaller pieces
pork rinds
Mrs Dash (garlic and herb)
egg
sauces (listed below)
ranch dressing (optional)

Heat a skillet with canola oil. While the skillet is preheating:

mix an egg in a bowl. Set aside.

In a ziplock bag, crush pork rinds to very fine texture using a rolling pin. Add Mrs Dash to the bag, and mix well.

On a cutting board, slice breasts in half, the long way, and then cut across to make 8-10 bite-sized pieces (your number of pieces will vary according to the size of the breast).

Dip the bits of breast in the egg bath and then plop into the bag of rind/spice mix. Coat by shaking the bag.

Once the pan and oil are heated, add the coated pieces to the oil. Cook on both sides, until the chicken is lightly-to-medium brown (5-9 minutes, depending on the oil temperature and size of the chicken pieces).

Remove chicken pieces to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Place drained chicken tenders on a plate and coat with sauces of your choice.

For plain Buffy: While we know there's nothing ever plain about Buffy, these served up without any sauce come in very well within induction levels, at approximately 0 carbs. I mean, chicken, pork rinds, oil and a little seasoning? Bwah! Take that, induction! I can eat these and be absolutely safe!

For zesty Buffy: I used Bulls-Eye original Barbecue Sauce. This is NOT low-carb, coming in at 13 carbs per 2 Tbsp. If you can find something "cheaper" in carbs that has the same delicious twang, do it! (If you have a low-carb recommendation, please let me know).

For spicy Buffy: I used Texas Pete Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Barbecue Sauce. It'll rip your lips right off of your face, but it's darned good stuff. And at only 3 carbs per 2 Tbsp, it's a might bit "cheaper" than the Bulls-Eye.

These sound really good.....hmmm...super bowl food? Thought that you all would like a couple of ideas that I found.
