Well morning LL...I was missing you and wondering if you left town...I understand the quote above and I tell ya...I'm so tired of the "fat chick shirts" you know the big shirts you wear to cover your bulk....I'll slip this one in here...I weighed 146.8 this morning.....that's good...down again...I haven't been 146 in ages...so it's a good thing...I ate good yesterday even though it included a hamburger...or part of one....We ate out and I made it fit into my points but..I shouldn't be eating it because of the cholesterol thing.... Going to have my eyes checked today for cataracts or any disease and hope to get to the gym after but if not (will I be too tired? ) I'll work out at home....I am enjoying the workouts and I know when I am working out, I lose weight...it's as simple as that...then...I have lots of yard work I hope to get done in the next few days, that should help some too...I read ages ago (years?) that my ideal weight should be 115 to 138...and that 138 always seemed so hard to reach and yesterday I was reading somewhere that the range was up to 148...gotta check that again and see...I know that I could live with myself at the weight I am now because I've lost 25 pounds but I would still have some belly that I'd like to get rid of.... Hope everyone is finding that weight loss niche and enjoying it....one thing I have learned with all this is that I hate that feeling of being so overstuffed that you get when you overeat.....I hope all those days are behind me....I love the feeling of getting up from the table ...perfectly satisfied...as MS says....It's a good thing....Have a great day all...

Full Moon BBQ drive thru for take hom 3 rib sandwich. They gave me 4 cause two of them were small. Friend's husband thinks ribs sandwich are a hoot. He'd never heard of them before. He's from NY. Had them with sauce on the side, and nibbled one piece of bread.

Oh Patti!!!!! I was going to post a question about dumplings!!! The other day hubby was saying that when he was a kid, his mom made chicken and dumplings. Then he moved to the states as an adult, ordered it, and these wet balls were served. I told him that's what dumplings are! He said his mom would put them on top of a chicken casserole and bake in the oven and they would get crisp. I said those were biscuits and dumplings are white and fluffy and get boiled with chicken, covered and you don't peek. He thought they were gross, but those are my fondest memories of my Nan, making chicken and dumplings. I would love to have some!!!!!

We had leftover soup from the weekend. I had made a soup of hot italian sausage, shrimp, chopped tomatoes, okra, corn... with lots of onion, garlic, and cajun seasoning! Served hot with Italian bread and butter. Yumm..... Soup is always better a day or so after it's made! Although I did notice the shrimp got a triffle chewy when reheated. Not too bad, though.
