Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters

[TracyinKS 7]

I am sipping on a doctored up Isopure drink..... (I had a couple left over from pre op) ISO + sf koolaid ice and water........ its OK but NOT Kat's Glugs GLugs!

So far I've had a doctored up Protein Shake and this........... I am determined to get my Protein in today (I've been slacking with crap food) So THIS fill I am going to attempt to follow the rules. It doesn't help that I am hungry right now........

I'm going to attempt to make some fresh salsa tonight....... as I have a supply of fresh from the vine tomatoes..... anyone have a favorite recipe? I KNOW someone posted befor.. but I can't remember.

I have this stuff, I got it from TastefullySimple. They have the best spices.. It is Salsa seasoning, you add to tomatoes, onions, or what ever you want in there and YUMMY.

I know they have seasoning mixes in the grocery store too, either in the mexican isle or where the packets of different seasons are.

I forgot how to make from scratch...

I too buy pre packaged spice mix. We buy it from a local lady, she used to have a Mexican restaurant, now she sells spices etc. She has mild and hot. I find the mild to be plenty hot!!! Plus we add jalapeno, and often a habanero to the mix, and our cilantro, and garlic and blend, then we add the chunky tomatoes, so that it isn't a smooth mix, but the hot, as well as the big flavors, are well blended throughout. Then we pressure it. My problem this year, is I have given so much stuff away---I have no jars, and am not willing to pay what they want for jars....it ends up costing as much as simply buying it!!! BUT I will for the salsa---we like it a lot better. But for the Beans, and such? Forget it!!!

Will You People Stop Talking About food? ??

[TracyinKS 7]

I have a HUGE headache!!!!!!!! I'm thinking it is carb withdrawl and hunger... I also found a bunch of crockpot recipies....... I am having Soup tonight for dinner.......

[TracyinKS 7]

SORRY TERRY! We were posting at the same time........... I can relate...

since I'm working off a protien shake and this nasty ass ISOpure!!!!!!!!

One of the nurses was heating up romain noodles in the break room and I about tackled her because it smelled so good!

[TerriDoodle 6]

I have to say that I AM amazed that I'm not about to pass out from hunger considering how little I've eaten the last 3 days. I just miss solid food....vegetables especially. I'd kill to be able to eat a nice chunky bowl of veggie Soup.

Oh well, I signed on for this!

Guess what??! I had a massage on Saturday and the masseuse screwed up my lower back!!!!!!!!! I am in pain! I just can't believe this. I feel like calling them and telling them I want my %*#&! money back!

Laura - speaking of backs...how's yours lately?

[TracyinKS 7]

I mentioned my HUGE headache.... and without really thinking I popped a liquidgel Aleave (my doc has no problem with aleave) you guessed it........ the liquid gel thing felt like it got stuck........so I went down to the sisters dining room and got a cup full of STRONG probably THIS MORNINGS coffee thinking caffiene and heat would melt that sucker and let it pass........ OH MY........ coffee is nasty but I am unstuck. Headache is hinting at subsiding and its getting close to quitting time.

I am having Soup tonight...... maybe Tomato. Terry what are you having?

Where is Judy? I thought she was back?

[Jennifur 0]

You guys are funny, I did 4 days of Protein Shakes last week but had a small bowl of lettuce and tuna with it for dinner. I ate this weekend and just had a steak and some zucunni. Tomorrow is Protein Shake and salad again for the rest of the week.

I am not a Soup fan, love my black bean soup and that is about it.

Judy... maybe getting ready for her 2nd vacation????? Lucky duck LOL

[TerriDoodle 6]

Oh, I LOVE soup! All kinds! Tonight I'm going to have broccoli cheese Soup. I bought some good ready-made at the store last night. I even have to chew the broccoli bits to shreds! Tomato sounds good, too! I have some of that in the pantry as well. I'm gonna have to go with the highest protein...I think I've only got like 35g today so far.

OK, I do like broc/cheese and potato cheese Soup.< /p>

off to cheerleading, the nightmare of my life!!!!!!!!!!!x friend is the coach and treats me like shit!!!!!

the things I do for my dd

[TracyK 3]

hi everyone-

Let me share somethng cause I want to see if this is just me or if you all are feeling the same way....this does not happen often, but last night I cried....i missed food. I mean the food we used to eat. My DH asked me what was wrong and I told him that I was eating the same old crap all the time. He asked what I wanted and I said "everything I am not supposed to have. A sandwich, a big plate of spaghetti, boudain, a bowl of rice & gravy, a big bowl of blue bell ice cream, Mac & cheese....not to mention a cheeseburger". I had a really difficult time. They are like "old friends" and I missed them. I was SO depressed. Can't blame it TOM, that is over for now. This has to be a normal feeling, right? Bottom line is I don't miss that stuff enough to blow it. I will take the weight loss over the fat ass anyday. It is just that sometimes, I miss food. Any thoughts? Am I by myself on this one?

[TerriDoodle 6]

....friend is the coach and treats me like shit!!!!!

Anybody else see something wrong with this sentence??

[Jennifur 0]

didn't I put x friend???/

that is the neighbor I've mentioned who will not talk to me anymore since surgery and said I only cared about myself and was a horrible person. I miss our friendship but have grown so much over the past 4 months that I know she was not a true friend - but someone who was holding me back.

It just really sucks that she can't suck it up for the kids and be civil at cheerleading - Oh well

TracyK - I don't get that depressed about food but sometimes I do miss it. I love sauce and work in a pizza shop!!! I made pizza using a slice of eggplant instead of bread and was satisfied. Started getting pitas so I can have a sandwich. Throw some stuff out there... I'll ponder some ways to alter it ... I love to cook and am good at it.

I do miss drinking like that some times. I use to drink a lot, every day 2-3 drinks. not beer. vodka...tequila... good stuff... strong stuff. For me to have 1 small drink is a major accomplishment for me, when I use to go out I would have 8-9 doubles. I could not go out without dropping $50 on drinks alone. I cried and cried a couple weeks ago about missing that, and then had bf issue and had 1 drink. I have had 3 total in 4 months and they were all recently. So no you are not alone
