Here we go---sailing this boat together! Recipes today

Morning one and all, hope you're Monday is going well so far!

Here's a recipe for today. It's hotter than fresh tar and no one feels like cooking, so this is what I found. The calorie count might be a tad high for some, but I'm sure we'll only be eating 1/2 of a serving, to it's really reasonable. Sure sounds good!

Chicken Waldorf Salad
Perfect as a main dish salad.

Servings: 4

Yesterday was so-so. Gary wanted a sub sandwich so we shared one, but then he went and brought Pringles home!  AGHHH, oh well, I counted the TWO servings I ate and will send the rest of the tube with him to work.

All in all not a bad day, considering it could have been so much worse!

The munchie**** hard last night. Today it is time to pay the piper for that fiasco.

I had an extra peach, 1/2 cup no sugar added ice cream and a hot dog over the course of the evening.

This morning my innards are in an uproar.  Not good on the longest work day of the week.

Because we were on the road most of the day yesterday, my eating was way out of wack....
B - c/m yogurt, SB protein bar
L (11:30) 2 eggs, 1 turkey sausage link, 1 1/2 pc. wheat toast, a little fresh pineapple (which made my tummy hurt)
S - (6:00 p.m.) cheese stick
D (8:30 p.m.) 1/2 turkey sand on hi-fiber bread, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, banana

I was up 1/4 lb this morning because I couldn't take my water pill.
Did get most of my water in.

Too much acid in the pineapple, maybe?  I don't know, every day is an adventure, right?

Looks like a great day in spite of being out and about. I didn't get all my water in yesterday, and that's really unusual for me. I'll try to make up for it today.

i've always loved chix -waldorf salad.thx!!!!!!!

my eating is waaaaay outta whack -as i eluded to in karen's post re 5day pouch test.....

Good morning Susan and everyone....

I used to love Waldorf Salad. I can't eat apples anymore peeled or not....my pouch says NO. I have tried several times...I have finely had to accept the fact. That recipe looks so good!!

I am still paddling as fast as I can.

Yesterday....

B-high protein drink
L-small chef salad
D-pork roast, baby carrots, and onions
S-banana and nuts

Hope you have a terrific day!

Love ya...hugs.....connie d

bummer

  Connie...and Susan...good afternoon....

   I can't eat apple either..they make me dump.  One of the trainers at the gym made an observation one day...he was asking me what I had to do for the hypoglycemia and fruit and I just don't get along. 

   After a few minutes, he said, "you can't eat fruit with seeds !"  That was a WOW moment...I can't eat fruit with seeds or with the skins on.  That little thing makes a big difference!!!!

   Today my tummy is not good..
  so far


 Protein shake, 1/4 banana
 Crackers (8) with cheese
 small salad with chick and cooked carrots, cucumber, black olives..etc

  Later...
  pork, new potatoes and carrots
  crackers and peanut butter (I'm trying the Peter Pan WHipped PB..seems to have less fat and sugar)
  fruit and cottage cheese
  high fiber or high protein cereal with almond milk
  graham cracker with peanut butter

 Have a great day...

That's a new one on me...the seed thing. Hmmm. Wonder why he said that? Don't all fruits have seeds of some sort?

Apples I"m fine with even with the peelings. . . now grapes more than two and I have instant diarhia. . . Maybe the skins?
