Fall is Coming.... (by Ang)

It's nice to see some new bloggeroonies..... Jessie that's a lot of working but I know you love what you do and you do it so well :) ... keep up the great attitude and it will take you across the universe I think! As far as gaining goes, I don't expect any of us really will stay in one spot. 5lbs is not a lot as long as you are continuing to try which is great. It's a tough season to get through, though we have a lot of good fresh food we also have hearty appetites with all the activity. This blog can help to re-focus and think a bit more collectively and I miss it when I don't see a new entry. It's great to express how it can really help and I think we are a giving family, so a little howdy do and whats happening news can even make me feel better and more wanting to take care of myself. I wonder how many of us when we are feeling down on ourselves or if we have slipped don't really want to say so? I can only speak for myself and know that it is hard to admit (in writing no less) that I ate a whole pizza and drank a 24 last night..... hahahaha... gotcha... I only ate 1/2 a pizza and a 12 pak...... kidding again..lol. It's really good to be able to spill the beans to people who care about you I think, just as it's great to get a pat on the back for doing well.

I have been trying some of the Presidents Choice "lean" or "blue carton" types of food (chicken, no beef for me) and find that the taste is good and I don't feel left out or deprived. Even the Kraft no fat cheese slices (though I really love "real" cheese") is an alright substitute once in a while if I am craving cheese. Also I love the little no fat jello cups, 95% fat free Philly Cheese and cartons of egg whites even melba toast. I can make a quick breakfast of scrambled egg whites with peppers, mushrooms and onions and even have a light bread with it. I cook the eggs with some Cajun spice for zip and I'm good to go.

So anyhow, I better be off to bed (sorry Jessiepoo) and will look forward to more reading tomorrow.

Love you all

Angie
