What the heck all this candy talk going around.  you guys are crazy but Ill add that I love the cadbury creme eggs.  Our bunny looks like the one on the comercials Bock bock bock LOL.  Tummy is very sore this afternoon  that means its working right?

 

Morning, I woke up with a horrible sweet tooth this morning.  fighting it off with water and protein. Side effect from the candy talk I guess LOL ...just kidding..... but I hate it when I get a sugar jones.  Makes me want to eat junk food.  I found the tofu noodles that they talk about on hungry girl.  Havent tried them yet but Im hoping to bring pasta back into my life ... at least on occasion.  Ill let you know how they taste.

 

Rachel I got them at a central market "HEB"...  we dont have them around here.   I happened to be in a different city the other day and picked some up.   depending on how they taste is whether I go back for more.  its a long drive to get them.

Im excluding myself from candy talk because I showed up late and giving it up for Dove truffle eggs which started whole like cadburys but are now smaller half versions.  Humph!  Cant bite a candy whopper - goosebumps all over like eating tasty chalk.  No mention of peeps?  I never understood why I like them since I support "no chocolate - not candy theory" but they win on the technicality of not being candy but food - sugared marshmellows.

On with the easter challenge!

Phase 1 with apples is still strict Bee - good luck and wishing you well!  LOL, actually out loud at the running from whopper robin eggs. 

I have to wonder Rachael if you did lose it on hike would it still be there.  I lose things a lot with my forgetfulness but the nice stuff always hurts worst. 

Sarah - do you like SF pudding cups?  I didnt at first but now theyre big help with the hunts being 40cal.  I havent yet done pasta outside of the occasional SB TV dinner which I actually have gotten by mistake since I love their non carb ones. 

Right now my problem is the cauliflower popcorn.  Got a second head and made it today.  Doesnt taste like popcorn of course but it is crazy addictive and yet to get down limiting portions - thank god its cauliflower but still its too much volume when I finish off an entire head of it!

Alice and I went shopping for tacky but no luck even checking clearance racks. I still took a chiffon scarf and made a huge bow scrunchy with it, wore some huge 70s sunglasses, really overdid the makeup and bought some tacky jewelry.  One bracelet had gold plastic stars hanging from it.  I took a pic but it really didnt do the look justice.  It was a crazy fun time and Alice caught the bouquet LOL. 

Funny thing with the food - spaghetti, bread, salad and meatball served to you.  A bite of bread and pasta - they were fine but not worth the carbs.  Later they served one of those cubes of sheet cake.  Well I took mine and wasnt sure if I'd eat it, and let it sit there a while.  This actress playing the caterers daughter as a quiet angry goth girl comes up behind and crabs a chunk of it, putting it in her mouth.  It was funny, not rude (since Im sure I couldve got another piece) but I took it as a sign :D.

 

Wow Rachael - I didnt want to be a downer with pessimism but I didnt see it happening and so happy for you although thats too much about your daughter forgeting with you being concerned and all.  Could it have been fates little trick to get you out in the cold for a walk?

Bee - One head of cauliflower, all the white including stem, chopped into pieces double the size of a popped piece of popcorn.  It fills a cookie baking sheet.  Lightly spray with Pam or equivilant and bake at 425 degrees. 

First time I did 30 minutes and loved it.  Second time after 30 minutes put it in for another 15 and preferred that.  It shrinks and browns.  I dont know if this is the same as roasted cauliflower but if it is, sign me up!

Morning all. Had a great day yesterday much better than the day before where I scarfed popcorn at the movies.  Went food shopping yesterday ..... going to bring some bread back into my diet and found some with 5 Grams of fiber that looks good.  Tried those tofu noodles and Im not disappointed but not impressed either.  I opened the package and they smelled fishy so I rinsed them off then heated them in a skillet to get rid of moisture.  I added my sauce and they tasted fine(not liked they smelled)  they were firm but slimy so I didnt like that to much.  good substitute but not one that Ill do on a regular basis.  nothing compares to the real thing in my book I guess.

Hey ladies,

How is everyone doing today??

Trying to get back on the wagon at the moment!!  Its been a bit of a slippery slope since last week, and then of course yesterday was Mother's day.  The whole clan was over (my mum cooked dinner for about 20) for dinner and tea - it was great, but as you can imagine healthy eating went completely out the window....especially when it came to the buffet of desserts!!

Anyways, healthy(ish) eating started today but is definately starting again tomorrow!!  also have to get back to the gym!!!

BTW, your candy talk - I go with the Galaxy Caramel egg, although Cadbuy's creams egg is a close second!!!  I was in Tesco's yesterday to see the shelves stocked with every brand of chocolate eggs - it was crazy!!!  There is more packaging than actual chocolate in each pack!!!!
