Topic: RE: TGIF!!! Accountability
I love the winter months because I can have all the warm soups, chilis, stews!
Have you tried hot herbal teas, no caffeiene and it is something warm in the afternoon? I started drinking them again when the weather got cooler around here...course the last few days it has ben in the low 80's by afternoon, but that doesn't stop me!

Hope you get an answer on the shakiness. Sounds like low blood sugars to me, but Melissa would know much better. I always get that way when I am outside gardening regardless of how well I've eaten. Working hard at work doesn't even do that to me like gardening does. So weird.
Painting w/sister yesterday totally blew my food plans out the window. I was scrambling around finding painting supplies and taking orders...she is a much better painter and I was thrilled to have direction. Doing it today without her but mostly touch-ups and some wall work today. (we did the new window trim yesterday) Also having people come over to install a new garage door. Busy, busy!
Going to try to get a soup in the crock pot for later so that will be dinner. Have already had 2 servings of egg beaters and salsa and my latte. Didn't drink enough water yesterday. Maybe I will just put a pitcher of water on the counter today to remind myself. But when it is cold I only want hot drinks...pooh! Eating right isn't very comforting sometimes.
Have a good one, I'll check in later.

They are tart and similar to a cranberry but with more natural sugars so they aren't as sour as a cranberry., Very high in vitamins too! Hey, if it has kept Swedes healthy so long they can't be bad.
I've never been to one, but I have heard that Ikea sells it there in their restaurant and food areas. ?
All I know is I'm happy, happy now! And a little worried because now I'm craving a piece of whole wheat toast to put the jam on...uh-oh! Time to get out the rice cakes!
Have to get back to painting today so you won't see much of me till the job gets done. So glad to see some progress in the house again. DH and I are just so burned out on DIY stuff that it takes having help like my sister to get us off our butts again.
It is POURING rain here today. I should put a soup in the crockpot before the painting starts. Maybe Diana's Black Bean soup, that is delish!
Have a good day, both of you!

When I was a kid we'd be able to get Lingonberry syrup on our fancy pancakes when we'd go out for breakfast to a chain-type pancake house. It was such a treat! Lately, I've been able to find jarred lingonberries in most grocery stores and also at Worldmarket but not sugar free.
They are a little berry that is like a cranberry...tart but not as sour or large as a cranberry. They grow best in northern placees like Sweden so you don't see it in many other cuisiines but now they are growing it here in my part of the world.
If you have an Ikea near you, they may offer it there in their restaurant and maybe in their grocery area. I've never been to one, but I hear they have food there anyway.

I did my 36 min. elliptical yesterday. Got a little shaky though and not sure what that is about. Had to stop 20 min. into it and take a break for 15 minutes and then finished it. Have gotten that shaky feeling before but was able to push through it. Last night felt like I had had way to much caffeine or something. I had eaten at 5:30, got on elliptical about 7 ish so it wasn't that I had low blood sugars or something...thought maybe not enough fluids but heck I drink 2 liters in the afternoon so what the hey?
Mel, or anybody got any ideas?
On to today's plan:
B-scrambled eggs w/ salsa (my nephew was home and cooked us breakfast ;-)
S- coffee w/ SF creamer
L-rest of the meatloaf w/ dijon mustard
S- PB balls
D- crabby salad
S- yogurt w/ granola and BB's
Gonna do the elliptical tonight and see what happens again.
Hope everyone has a good'un!

Thanks. Can't wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl. Not that matters as long as they are healthly
