No Halloween candy?? Okay, I always buy something I don't like or Twix bars because I can't have wheat that way I'm not tempted. Take away my Halloween candy, but give back my cheese. I made the week, but I had to revise a few recipes like Chicken Alfredo without Parmesan last night. I think I'll get a salad or a cheese omelet when I go out with my daughter tonight. Too cold and damp for salad though Bob Evans has some good ones.
Note to self: you do better if carbs are eaten in the first half of the day. I had pasta for dinner last night and I was starving from dinner time to bedtime.
Jeanne, it's a tough time of year for the arthritises and Lupus. I have a friend who just had to go back on pred because he couldn't move at all and he basically only has RA. His wife says she hasn't noticed any weight gain like I have with the pred.
All there is to say about our mothers is that I'm sure we all are better mothers to our children than our mothers were to us. So much of my mental state today stems for the things that were verbalized to me when I was a child. The person who gave birth to us effects us for our entire lives whether she is in our life or not. My mother had manic depression and was in an abusive relationship. Not a good combo. I had to sit with her until the ambulance came when she slit her wrists when I was 7. And again later. Nothing a child should have to do. Enough of that or I'll be depressed all day and my shrink has retired.
I am losing weight and getting healthier.
edit: Under Armor is available at the sporting goods stores, but IMO is very pricey. My great grandsons think they can't play football without it - even the peewee league one, so my daughter buys it for them. What a nice grandmother she is. I was going to say I'll ask for some for Christmas, but I need a plane ticket to Albuqueque worse. My granddaughter is graduating as the valedictorian and expects me to be there. Today I need to get my car out of hock. When I was coming down a big hill coming home from a neighboring town yesterday, my brakes went out. More fun and games. Money, money, money. Everybody wants mine. Okay, enough whining.
Have a healthy eating day.
