Have a great day everyone. all the best, Carol D.

Good Morning Everyone B - Turkey Bacon       4 oz. applesauce L - Smart Ones Chicken with Parmesan Sauce and Broccoli S - 6 oz. Dannon Light n' Fit vanilla yogurt with four huge strawberries D - Wendy's chili - grab and go on my way to school S - 1/4 cup raisins - Dr A wasn't too happy I was taking a Colace generic for my constipation.  Suggested prune juice "BLECK!"As little food as I can have, I refuse to eat/drink something I don't enjoy. So he suggested dried fruits and more water.  So I'll be sloshing around today.  I'm going to try for 80 oz. instead of my normal 64 oz. Going to my gynocologist today for yearly check up.  If you haven't done so, please make an appt.  I am in remission for uterine and cervical cancer.  Early detection is key! Have a great day! Bev

Hey Bev - there is a drink called PLUM SMART that is so much better then prune juice and it tastes GREAT!   I pray you stay in remission and good girl for taking such good care of yourself!

Hi Tammy, Thanks a bunch.  I'll look for Plum Smart the next time I am at the store. I'm five years out from being diagnosed.  That looks good.  I appreciate the prayers. Bev

Hello Carol -  Does that snack your havng witht he pumpkin and the greek yogurt taste like pumpkin pie?  What is greek yogurt I've never heard of it?? B - 1 egg w/mushrooms, peppers and onion S -nothing I was too busy but my stomach was very, very noisey today! L- Chicken Salad Wrap S - Handful of blueberries D - Chicken (teriyaki), rice, veggie So far I've only had about 30 ounces of water so I'm working on it! It's hot enough to take a swim in the pool so that's where I'll be!! Today was my little guy's first day of Kindergarten I am proud to say I only welled up with tears and didn't completely lose it when I saw him get on the bus - talk about where does the time go!!!

Hi Tammy- It does!  Sometimes if I am craving a bit of "sweet" I use the nonfat vanilla yogurt.  Greek yogurt--Hage I think it is called...has less sugar and more protein than other yogurt. Have a great day. Regards, Carol D.

I shop at Stop & Shop and looked for the Greek yogurt I've heard others talk about and couldn't find it.  I'd like the name of it also. Good for you not breaking down at your baby getting on the bus.  My girlfriend and I stood there thinking we would get a wave from our sons through the bus window on their first day of kindergarten.  They never even looked out the window!  They were so excited to be riding on the bus they were just chatting with each other.  Meanwhile my girlfriend and I were in tears.  It's been 27 years (LOL) and I still remember that feeling.
