Yesterday was day one (again) of not having sweets or wine. There is no date or particular weight set for limiting myself and that may be a fatal flaw. Usually, I have more resolve if I chose a date (not too far off) of being able to have wine or even a sweet. But either “jags” my sugar addiction. I can barely get away with having pasta or potatoes once in a while. We will see how long I can go. It was close to 2 months last time and accomplished losing 10 lbs and going into the 127s which satisfied me greatly. A pound a week is enough for me.
It's embarrassing to admit that I couldn't find the top part of my food processer to slice the 14 lbs of baby carrots that I brought home Sunday for the dehydrator. Although my kitchen is torn up because we were preparing to tear the tile out, I also believe it's possible my husband threw it out with the multitude of my things he disposed of from the garage a month ago. It was imperative that I either deal with the carrots or lose them since I didn't have room for them in the refrigerator but left them in the cold garage for 2 nights. Tuesday the weather warmed up so it was now or never. I ended up hand-cutting each and every silly one of the baby cuts the long way to make them thin enough. Since I had to blanch them any way I just boiled them a minute longer so they would be soft all the way through to cut easily. They are lightly cooked rather than the short blanching required to dehydrate but I plan to powder them anyway. It's always a hassle to boil them (in 7 batches). After 2 lbs I couldn't stand at the sink any longer cutting them with my bad back but was able to sit in front of the TV leaning back on pillows with the cutting board on my lap, then had to place them alternating cut side up then down to make room for all of them (albeit crowded) on the dehydrator trays. Whew...
