Its been a little over 6 months since the love of my life went to Heaven... following the diet has been difficult... Memorial Day Weekend was tough, then my birthday weekend, then our Annivarsary weekend was the worst... Me and a box of Girl Scout Cookies had a party one evening... gained 5lbs over one weekend and it took almost 3 weeks to get it off... I quit counting the carbs and just ate what I knew were low carbs... over doing it... so I started counting again about a week ago and now the scales are dropping again.
Went from 145 to 142 within 5 days... now I just need to kick the urge to go off on a box of cookies or cereal... I Found Almond Milk with only 2 net carbs works great and I can tolerate it.. and frankly, it tastes better than milk alone. I found that the Coffee Syrups, sugar free mixed with Heavy Whipping Cream gives you 0 carbs in my coffee which was a HUGE Relief considering I have loved my flavored coffee creamers since 1992 and had to give them up when I started this diet due to the carb counts. so I mix up my own and it makes me smile when I have to travel and use the Hotel Coffee makers.. Uck!
I found that the receipe for the Cream Cheese and Jello mix (Raspberry Cheesecake Squares) works better if you don't use a blender... just use a fork to smash up and stir the creamed cheese after you pour in the melted jello liquid...Gives it a swirlly look... a smooth creamy treat with less than 1 carb depending on the brand of cream cheese you use. I put single servings in small plastic containers and take it with me to work. I have used Lemon, Lime, Strawberry,and Orange flavored sugar free jello mix and the Orange tastes like a cream-sickle ... any flavor of sugar free Jello mix works. I just wish I could find sugar free Pineapple...Yum!
My Neighbor puts this mix between 2 Nilla Waffers... she's NOT on a Diet.. Obviously... Dang it! LOL
Anyway, that's an update from Mouse... Sorry I havent been on in a while.. trying tokeep busy so I dont' fall into depression and go hog wild on cookies anymore.
have a MICE DAY!!
