SATURDAY....199.5!!!!!
WOOHOO!!!! Not recording it today, but I am BELOW 200...in "ONEDERLAND"...there is a 1 at the front of that number and I am so HAPPY!!! I have been doing the snoopy dance all morning!
I woke to a grey and dreary day. The animals all slept in, so after waking at 7:30 and refilling bowls, I went back to sleep and slept until 10!! That is late for me. I got up, made the coffee, had a cup, then got cleaned up and headed out to run a couple of errands. These errands included going to Wally World...on the Saturday before Super Bowl...need I say more??? I also went to Aldi's and Kroger. Needed to get salad stuff and pick up canned goods for the food drive at church.
Was gone about 2 hours. While I was out, I picked up a "pickin' chickin" to snack on this afternoon.
Not sure if we will walk this afternoon, it is just too nasty. Waiting for my neighbor to call and say whether she wants to go. If she does, I will probably go...it is easier to motivate myself if someone asks me to go. LOL
We made a pizza bake and a chocolate cream pie for dinner last night. Both were awesome. I am going to post the recipes here for mom2boxers. Let me tell you, that chocolate orange pudding pie was phenomenal!! Actually, so was the pizza and the crust was much like a "real" one! lol
Anyway, here are the recipes. They are in my cookbook also.
Stef's Low Carb Chocolate Orange Pudding Pie
A low carb pudding pie with a cheese based crust
Ingredients:
8 servings finely shredded colby monterey jack cheese (8 oz)
2 servings orange extract
8 servings splenda (8 packets)
4 servings jello sugar free dark chocolate pudding mix (1 box)
3 large eggs
4 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup half and half
1 3/4 cups half and half
1 pat butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Grease bottom of pie pan with butter. Spread shredded cheese on the bottom. Set aside.
Beat together the eggs and cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/3 cup half and half, splenda, and 1 tsp orange extract. Mix well. Pour over cheese in pie pan, distributing evenly. Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
While crust is baking, make the S/F pudding, with 1 3/4 cup half and half. Add orange extract and mix well. Beat with wire whisk until smooth. Place in the refrigerator.
When pie crust is done, remove from oven and let cool. Once cool spoon the pudding over the top and smooth with a spatula. Return to refrigerator until ready to serve. Cut into 16 slices.

Jozette, thanks, now to stay there...I was there last year, and was sure I would never see a 2 leading my weight again...this time, nothing is going to make me go back up...of course that is what I thought last year. Was sure I had the emotional eating under control...WRONG!! So this time around I will be even more vigilant...and stay away from those Lorna Doone's! lol

Thanks, FOL...it is, and it feels even better this time than it did last year. I think maybe that's because I reigned myself in before it got too out of hand. :)
