Today was mostly uneventful. I keep forgetting that I can eat lettuce as a freebie, and I'm eating all of my raw veggies on their own, when I could be making salads. I need to add that to my repertoire. Just need to make sure I have allowable salad dressings, or that I get some.
I'm also starting to miss starches a little. Bread, potatoes, pasta, rice. All among my favorites. Which is probably part of my original problem, I suppose. I know that as I get down to being just "overweight," as opposed to "obese," I will be able to add them back into my diet in moderation. But right now, that seems light years away.

ReplyDeleteHere is a tip for the turkey bacon - add some pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder (very little of each) and then cook...mmmm
I haven't even been making salads... just eating raw veggies, mostly- with a little vinegar or very little of that spray bottle dressing. But bacon, even if it is turkey bacon, would be nice. Hadn't thought of that. Due to go grovery shopping Friday morning, have to add it to the list.
