LOL monkey bars!!

ll__raine__ll · 08-21-2008, 03:42 PM

good morning Diana

you ladies sound chirpy today. nice to see.

i haven't sort out coconut oil here but i've tried the oil pulling with a nice mild olive oil. it was ok but olive oil is expensive and i'm cheap too.

Determinedtolose · 08-22-2008, 04:27 AM

Good Morning!

Hello Raine, I have never tried oil pulling. I'm kind of afraid to do it, lol. Right now I can't stomach the taste of CO, but I do put it in my protein shakes. I don't know what happend. When I first bought it I loved it and made the chocolate bark from it, but now, it makes me naseaus.

I hope everyone has a great day! Let's stay on plan and feel good all the way around!!!

I woke up wida awake at 11:30 pm. I thought it was early in the morning?? Anymore, I'm getting by with little sleep. I think the way I"m eating is giving me alot of energy or something freaky is going on with me! LOL!

I get a little tired in the morning, but I'll have another cup of coffee or an energy drink.
But I'm the type that will keep going and not stop. I get that drive from my dad.

Well, I come visit everyone later!!!
Love ya!

NewYorkGiants32 · 08-22-2008, 07:25 AM

Nothing to be afraid of w/ oil pulling. My first time I was scared, but it is just the initial shock of putting something "unknown" in my mouth.......no big deal, and I can tell a difference in the short time I have been using it. Now what does make me nervous, is adding it to food, or taking it right off the spoon.....weird huh? I need to work my nerve up.

Hi Jen,
LOL, me too!! I do need to try that as well. One day I'll get the nerve.

seb · 08-22-2008, 08:34 AM

I tried oil pulling once and gagged. I don't think I can do it again, even though I've read of the great benefits of it. To each his own.

Determinedtolose · 08-22-2008, 09:11 AM

I may try oil pulling, but I may want to swallow!!!

seb · 08-22-2008, 09:13 AM

Don't swallow

Determinedtolose · 08-22-2008, 09:16 AM

Sometimes as I'm brushing my teeth, I get this need to swallow. It's weird. Then I have to spit out the toothpaste and start brushing all over again. I don't want to swallow any toothpaste.

I think I'll stick to co in my foods or protein shake.

la.lady · 08-22-2008, 09:59 AM

Girls I got the Oil caps for $19.95 plus shipping and handeling and I believe the total was $23.00, but each bottle has 240 caps in it and I got 3 bottles altogether for that price. That is very cheap. It is through Prime Vitamins... That makes 720 pills...

Have a great day...

That's a good price Patty! Thanks!!

NewYorkGiants32 · 08-23-2008, 09:31 AM

Hi Diana...congratulations on your pound!

Are you doing your usual baking this weekend?

Determinedtolose · 08-23-2008, 10:05 AM

Thanks Jen!

I actually made rev rolls yesterday after work, and also LindSue's Deep Dish Pizza.
I won't do any hardcore baking until next week for my nieces b-day. She wants red velvet cupcakes!! I love those!!!

I did find a lc red velvet cake recipe that I've had. I may do Jakesmixtapes fudgey cup cakes too. They're low carb.

I may make some sweet oopsie rolls that Maryposa on the induction thread posted, tomorrow. If I'm not too lazy! LOL They sound yummy!!

la.lady · 08-23-2008, 10:11 AM

Just running through wishing you a very blessed Day!!!

Those red velvet cup cakes sound so good! I tried red velvet cake for the first time ever about 4-5 months ago, it was soooooo good!! I'm going to go check out the deep dish pizza recipe!

Determinedtolose · 08-23-2008, 10:29 AM

I love them too!

Do you want me to post the recipe for you?

NewYorkGiants32 · 08-23-2008, 10:41 AM

oh yeah...if it is not too much trouble!

I have family visiting in October so I am trying to get as many low carb recipes together as I can...especially of the sweet stuff!!

I think I just made the best coconut bark ever!! I did a single serving, cut down on the oil a little bit and added a small amount of peanut butter.....sooooo good!

Determinedtolose · 08-23-2008, 10:43 AM

I totally don't mind!!!

I know you both can get there. Just like I'm going to get to onederland very soon!!!

NewYorkGiants32 · 08-24-2008, 12:10 PM

Hi Diana, how's your weekend going?

Determinedtolose · 08-24-2008, 12:14 PM

Hi Jen, pretty good so far. I did end up baking. I made an induction friendly pumpkin custard. It's pretty good!

I made a pumpkin almond bread too, which is also very good.

So far so good! Anything to do with food is good!! As long as its all lc!!

How about you?

Determinedtolose · 08-24-2008, 12:16 PM

Yesterday I ate some chicken wings from a pizza place and with all the sodium, I"m up 2lbs. I know it will come off, but it just makes me not wanting to eat out at all. So much sodiumn in restaurant food and I dont want to deal with that. I'm just going to make my own foods so I can control the salt.

I've got my Fitday already set. Just need to drink plenty of water.
