Sounds quite delicious. . how do you prepare your eggs in the morning? I find myself doing 2 eggs scrambled more frequently than not. . and I like to dab a little salsa and low fat sour cream on them. . it's quite yummo!

lunch I had about 1/2 cup refried Beans (Nutritionist says I need to get more carbs/calories in diet and suggested this. . . I let it happen cause it was good)

dinner I'm probably going to grill up a 3oz salmon filet with some lemon herb spice, with a small salad if I can handle it.

I must try your taco salad tho, that sounds quite good!

Also, it's inspiring to know you're sticking this out even unfilled. . you should be proud of yourself! You're doing awesome!

For breakfast I had a sandwhich round with cheese tomato lettuce and 45 cal cotto lunchmeat.

For a snack I had celery sticks and three dill spears, dipped in habanero mustard!

Tonight I will have salad and chicken using lipton onion mix and some soup (new recipe).

If I have another snack, maybe some sunflower seeds :w00t::blushing:

Bread-crumbless baked crab cakes for dinner tonite!!! Can't wait :blushing:

And here I was thinking your salmon sounded good. I think that's going to be dinner tomorrow!

I made up my own taco seasoning mix because the store bought tend to have sugar and I watch my carbs very close. This is a good site for low carb recipes. I've made a number of them and they're quite good!

Thanks for the compliment but to be honest I don't see that I have a choice unless I want to go back to being out of breath just walking across the living room! nonono.

Elcee,

There was a show on tv a few decades ago called 'HeeHaw'. Sort of a down home country show that spotlighted country singers. One of the skits they did was called "What's for dinner, grandpa?" and grandpa would say, "Corn pone and honey, ham with red eye gravy and buttered grits" or some such.

Overnight Oatmeal

Tools needed:

1 crockpot

1 bowl or mug (that will hold at least 16oz) that will fit inside of crockpot.

Ingredients:

Steelcut Oatmeal (must be steelcut, not rolled, not quick)

Water

cooking oil spray (optional)

Spray inside of bowl with cooking oil spray. This isn't strictly necessary, but makes cleanup easier later.

Measure 1/4 cup of steelcut oats into oiled bowl. Measure 1 cup water into bowl.

Place bowl of water & oatmeal into crockpot. Place lid on crockpot and turn on low. Go to bed.

after 6 to 8 to 10 hours (it's very forgiving..lol) turn off crockpot and take off lid. Let bowl cool a little while you fix your coffee & take Vitamins.

When it's cool enough to handle, take it out of the crockpot and add desired flavorings (see additional optional ingredients below).

Enjoy!!

Other optional ingredients:

1/4 apple or 1/4 to 1/2 cup s/f applesauce

cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice to taste.

1 tbspn chopped walnuts

1 tbspn powdered milk or skim milk or fat free evaporated milk

dash salt

low/no calorie sweetner of your choice to taste.

P.S. recently heard that cinnamon helps to control blood sugar.. yeah for cinnamon in my oatmeal!!

P.P.S. I usually also have a turkey sausage link with this. Between the oatmeal & sausage, I'm usually good for at least 4 to 5 hours and often longer. However, I'm at a pretty good fill level for me. Your experience may be different.
