So I gained 2 lbs :o( I'm mad about it but I also know that this will happen on my way to my goal. Disappointing as it is I still feel good about the weight Ive lost and I feel so much better already health wise. I'm going to start doing exercise, Richard Simmons workout DVDs since I have a couple of them. They're good work outs for people who are very overweight. You can even do them if you cant stand. Its a workout I can handle and the best part of that is my husband is willing to do it with me and our friend too.
The heat has been terrible the last week. I had planned on walking up to the library to get some exercise but there was no way I was doing it in that heat! Last year we had a pool which was torn down because it was so old. They were going to put a new one up but they didn't feel like it I guess so no swimming for me this year unless I go to a lake somewhere, which freaks me out because you just don't know whats in the water LOL Yep, I am a chicken :o) Tomorrow I have a doctor appointment to get my new scripts for my thyroid and I think my doctor is going to either raise my diabetes medication or change it because its not doing all that good of a job especially when I'm eating really healthy and its still high. I'm not sure what he will do about my triglycerides which are higher than they were before. That can be caused by my anti depressant or a number of other things. At least its not caused by my cholesterol which is fabulously normal.
I think that after I get home Ill walk to the library and see what books they have, maybe bring one home to read. I have a million books at home but there's something about going to a book store or library that makes me feel good. They have a smell that is welcoming. Plus its quiet and peaceful. Anyhoot, it's time for me to get off of here and get a couple of things done, eat something and then play some xbox with my hubby. I hope you all have a great day!

Whew!
I'm glad the 4th is well over with. I cheated just a tiny bit and had some comfort foods lol But I'm at 276 lbs which means I'm down another 1 lb, still on track! Ive been incredibly busy the last few days. Doctor appointments, getting things done around the house, working on insurance junk for my hubby. Some days I don't know how Ill get through it but somehow I do.
Anyway, I came across an "oopsie" recipe and I tried it out on my family. It was a big hit! So much so that my hubby has told me its the only bread he wants to have from now on for sandwiches. I didn't quite follow the recipe, so Ill give you the one I used. 1 8 oz box of cream cheese (full fat) 3 eggs (separated from yolk but don't throw out) a pinch of baking powder (next time I'm going to use 1t.) The original recipe called for the cream cheese to be cold out of the fridge but next time I'm letting it warm up to room temp. I blended the cream cheese with the 3 egg yolks and the baking powder and set it aside. Then I whipped the egg whites until they were super stiff where you could turn the bowl upside down and shake and it wouldn't come out. Then gently folded the cream cheese mixture into the egg whites until it was blended together. I preheated the oven to 375 degrees. You can be as creative as you want, but I just made round bread slice size portions about 1/4 inch thick. I baked it for about 25 minutes give or take. Until it was golden brown. Its tough enough to hold up to a sandwich or burger and doesn't taste like eggs. And the best part, NO carbs!
I made a pizza with it one night, spread it into a glass baking dish then baked it until golden brown then spread Newman's Own marinara sauce and topped with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and baked it until the top was nice melted and golden on the edges. YUMMY! Also no carbs! Now when I made the pizza though, the crust was wet, but not soggy. In other words, it had moisture from the greases from the cheese and pepperoni but it still held together and it was even better reheated the next day in the oven. The only thing I think I might change would be that I would try making it on a metal cookie or pizza sheet next time. Although the glass dish worked fine too.
Other than that, I'm just making it day by day, trying to eat healthier, trying to stay positive and trying to get little bits of exercise too. Its been a long day and I'm ready to hit the bed, so with this, Ill bid you a good night! :o)
