Week 4 Trim Healthy Mama – Zapple Crumble (S)

Today I’m a disaster in the kitchen!  I’m not sure what’s up but I am really off my game today.  I decided to try the Zapple Crumble on page 337.  I set out to get my zucchinis seeded and sliced…I cut my finger cutting the zucchini.  It’s so rare that I cut myself in the kitchen, I can’t believe I did this, I’m usually so careful!  It’s not too deep, but is sure bleed a lot.  Once I got my zucchinis sliced I realized I forgot to peel them.  🙁  So I stood peeling slices for what seemed like hours, but I finally got it done.  When Joe came in from working outside he didn’t seem to notice I was peeling slices but I gave myself up.  I told him that I must have been channeling my Mom in the kitchen today.  Now, my Mom was an AMAZING cook!  She could cook anything, but she was always cutting her fingers with the knife.  She probably would not have made the mistake of forgetting to peel the zucchinis before slicing them so I was just referring to the knife cutting my finger part.  I really miss her cooking.  Later when I went to do the dishes I found a paper towel in the sink.  This is something my Mom did all the time and it would drive me crazy to find one of her wet paper towels in the sink.  Now that she’s been in heaven for 2 and a half years I miss finding her paper towels in the sink and would never complain again.  I still miss her so much and had no idea that when I told Joe I was channeling my Mom in the kitchen that I would without realizing it put a paper towel in the sink to find later.  When I saw it, I just stood there and laughed and said out loud, “I love you and miss you Mom!!”

Ok, back to the Zapple Crumble.  I don’t know what I did wrong but it was really watery, but it was good.  Not as good as it would have been if I had used Apples but it was good.  Makes me wonder if I make it again if I added some apple flavor if that would make it better?  I’ll let you know if I try it.

Week 3 Trim Healthy Mama – Luscious Lemon Cake (S)

So this ends our week of traveling and I didn’t really do well at staying on plan.  I didn’t lose any more weight but I didn’t gain any too.  I’m glad to be home and I’ll get back on plan tomorrow!  I tried the Luscious Lemon Cake on page 289 and YUMMY!!!  I love lemon and this just might be a new favorite treat!  I had it for desert and I can’t wait to eat it again!!!

Well, I decided to have the Luscious Lemon Cake for breakfast.  Not really the best of breakfast, but it was so yummy last night.  I’ve been having a little digestive issues trying to get used to the sweeteners.  I think I’ve determined that I can’t have this much sweet this early in the morning.  I made it with the Gentle Sweet and maybe I need to switch to super sweet.  I don’t know, but the first half of the day was rough.  Other than that I’ve been feeling really amazing!  I have more energy and even my mood is better!  I’m still enjoying no swelling in my ankles and legs!  🙂

Trim Healthy Mama Day – Week 3 – Hello Cheese (FP)

We’re visiting the in-laws this week so I don’t expect to lose any weight this week.  I’ll try to stay on plan as much as possible.

Dairy and I are very good friends!  I love just about anything dairy!  I enjoy a cold glass of milk just about every day, but I’ve slowed down on my milk drinking for this diet.  I haven’t decided if I’m going to give up the milk or not.  Page 97 of the plan book explains why I should give it up.  I think for now, I’m going to continue to enjoy it and when I stop losing weight it will go.

Hello Cheese page 487
Dairy and I may be good friends, but my husband Joe and dairy don’t get along very well.  So when I saw hello cheese in the cookbook, I was super excited.  If this stuff taste good it opens up dinner to a lot more dishes that I do without for him.
It was super easy to make and gave me a lot of hope!
Well, after trying it we’re both not impressed.  I took it to family dinner night calling it weird cheese.  Everyone tried it but didn’t like the smoky flavor.  Our niece who doesn’t get to eat real cheese loved it.  So, it wasn’t a total lose and we let her have the entire thing.  I’ll try it again, in the near future but without the liquid smoke.

Day 9 – Sugar withdraw

So, I started off slow on cutting out sugar.  I’ve been off sugar for 4 days and yesterday, I thought my head was going to explode!  I had the worst headache, I’ve ever had!  It’s not normal for me to get headaches and I had no idea I would have withdraw symptoms from sugar!  LOL  Today I was researching and realized that is what is happening.  So, I am not going to worry.

On a positive note, I’ve been having some leg swelling for a few years and nothing seems to be causing it.  My doctor has run test and everything is normal. That swelling has been gone for a few days!!!  I can’t stop looking at my ankles and how small they look!!!!
