Thank you. Surely trying to do it. And i passed my theory test today. Only have practical test left. Pushing on.

Ok i had to cheat today. Had to go to Fayetteville Ark. Today to take a test for my nail license. And well i passed a Popeyes chicken i hadnt had in a long time. So i got 3 hot and spicy strips and a small dirty rice. Ate 2 strips in the car. 2 hours later ate the last piece and the rice. It was so good. And i passed my test. Woo hoo

My doctor suggested using a flour tortilla and add toppings as usual. And bake it till cheese melts. Very thin crust

Love my beef to, is that your only choices? I wouldnt eat fish unless its fried but thats me. Can chicken be on the menu? Doesnt matter either way you will be bringing most of it home. Also rare beef is chewy not sure you will want to chew it for ever and you might

Surgeons office called, have to cut back on 2 of my vitamins. B12 and calcium. They were both high on my blood test. Calcium i guess is from the cheese and yogurts and protein drinks i drink. Actually hadnt been taking the calcium like i should. Go figure. And i was taking the sub lingual B 12 5000 mgs guess i will take every other day and then when i am out of this bottle i will get the normal 1000 mgs. Anyone else have this? Also my AC1 is 5.5 that is so awesome!! Almost off all my meds. Yay!

Up here i do get the frozen collards but i do put bacon and bacon grease in the pot. So yummy and do the same with my peas and beans. Its not bad for you. I make them at least once a month. I also make cajun fried chicken but i bake it in the oven. I just fix it like if i were to fry it. Soo good

Wow what a small world huh? I never was a fan of tomato gravy my son is. Luckily i don't eat gummy rice ( white) i like long grain or brown rice if i eat it. I need to learn how to make pepper sauce. Haven't had it in years. Was on every restaurant table in the south. Lol actually they say hot sauce in any form is good for you also helps in speeding up your metabolism could be why we can all endure spicy foods. I make fresh salsa alot with vine ripe tomatoes. Cant find green tomatoes here to have fried green tomatoes. Another yummy

Yes you can anytime, please bring a case of that pepper sauce with you, lol they don't have it up here in Missouri. I lived in Meridian for 18 yrs and then in Hattiesburg for 2 yrs before being transferred u here with hubs job. I am the only one who eats the collards and peas. Hubs calls it grass clipping. Lol he just doesnt understand. And then around thanksgiving is the only time i can eat turkey necks and rice. Lol

Left overs from last night. Collard greens and field peas with snap beans

Lol enuff left overs for 2 days. Luvin it!!

You know it. Oh it was so good. Pissed me off i couldnt eat more. It stuffed my little pouch. Lol but you know it will be even better tomorrow.

Its country food night for me. Fixing fresh collards and field peas with snaps and homemade corn bread with sliced peppers in it

Speaking of teeth I have noticed that I grit my teeth alot now. My MD said it was anxiety so we uped my celexa. She told me to cut back on my B12 cause it was high and my D3 . I only take my iron every other day. But take multi everyday and calcium.

I am also 6 months out. I thought I was gaining and I did gain 5 lbs. I went on a fast of some sorts one weekend. I bought me several good tasting Protein shakes and bars. And that is all I had that weekend with lots of Water. I got back on track and went down 10 lbs. I am a slow loser but I think it's better for your health to lose a little at a time. I don't exercise but I do walk. When I clean my house I have the music turned up loud and I dance withmt vacumn my mop and broom. Of course no one is home when I do this lol. Also I don't eat any type of potatoes. If I eat Pasta it's only whole grain spaghetti . I don't eat processed food hardly at all. Now this doesn't mean I don't eat out because I have had shrimp fried rice with steam broccoli in it. I can make 2 meals out of the container they put it in. I allow myself every 2 weeks some type of soda like dt dr pepper in a small no can. I just got to remember that fat girl wants to eat up everything and be a big ad depressed woman again and I don't want to go back there. I am almost off all my meds and so excited!!! I need to lose 32 more lbs to be in onederland. I hope by November when we go on our cruise I will be at least 180. Good luck to you

Wow never thought of that

You can also get some other good water flavors, Crush grape and orange, koolaid flavors and icee. They are drops you add to water and they are good

Making chicken and dumplings tonight, lots of chicken.

Had 3 bites of chicken enchilada with 3 spoonfuls of rice and beans with chips and salsa. Stuffed.

I am making red beans with cubed pork roast, and it smells so good
