I swear I heard the Hallelujah chorus when I typed in those numbers. It's still not even a whole pound at a time, but I'm NOT COMPLAINING UNIVERSE(don't punish me)! I've just been making more conscious eating choices. Plus, the whole no refined sugar isn't hurting either. It is the end of the month, and yesterday I was frankly too busy to think about overeating.
I wanted to be like wholefoodnut and cook some food to have handy in my freezer. I thought I would start with empanadas. I've never made vegetarian empanandas before so I was just playing around with ingredients. I found a recipe that used refrigerated biscuit dough, and I thought, I've never made my own biscuits, I'll give that a try. I found a recipe, made the filling, rolled out the dough, baked them in the oven, and almost died. They were so SALTY! Oh my gosh they were horrible. I went back to the recipe, and I have no idea how, I'm blaming being tired, but the recipe called for 3/4 tsp of salt and I added 3 tsp. Sadly they were perfect other than that. Slightly crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, and 100% pure evil all over. No mind, I shall try again! I will not be beat.
Today is day 10 of no sugar. I've been doing surprisingly well. I've had to smack off temptation from fancy cookies (ironically the day after dairyfarmerswife posted about fancy cookies at her work, someone brought fancy cookies to the restaurant I work at, no kidding). I resisted taking a sip of the girlfriend's soda. Yesterday, there were donuts at the restaurant. DONUTS! I was good! I asked my coworker how his was, and he said it wasn't that great, there was no filling. THAT'S RIGHT IT WASN'T THAT GOOD! HA! I find the anticipation of a donut far outweighs the actual eating of a donut. I still like donuts though. sigh. I think I just channeled Homer Simpson for a second. I'm ok now.
I decided I was overdoing the anti-candida treatments, and that is probably why I felt so bad on Tuesday. I cut back to just the oregano oil, and will probably add salt water rinse back in today. I have been feeling much better. My eyes have been red and puffy all week. Not sure if that is due to die off or allergies. Still having some issues with my throat I hope clears up eventually.
My route is changing. My one stop way down south in Amish country is closing. Sad face. I actually enjoyed that drive. It really didn't make a lot of money. They are adding a stop on the way to my other stop way up north in no man's land. Hopefully that store will do well and make me some more money. That starts next week. I love getting to see so many interesting things while driving around for work. For all you bargain shoppers, I passed a cemetery in the country that was advertising a buy one, get one free deal. They must be going out of business. O_O
As far as my vegetarian group, just waiting on the official date so I can start printing some flyers. The first date I picked turned out to be Mother's day. Probably not a great day to start.
That's all from my planet. Stay strong people!

Sounds like you are doing terrific on the no sugar!! Donuts won't taste very good after you get used to no or little sugar. I tried one last spring at work, made me feel awful the rest of the day. Little kid's tummy ache. It's funny how we drive past things in our daily or frequent travels and do not stop to investigate. I'm trying to be better at stopping at least once a week somewhere new. Never know what you will discover...

Every little bit helps when the scale smiles at us and gives in. I've been looking for new foods and I'm also looking to try Bambara beans. Need to mix it up. Getting tpo bored with eating the same things. TV is advertising candy for Valentine's Day. I don't need to see that. It's been a couple of weeks since I had sweets. Donuts. sigh. Love them. Not had one since around Christmas.

I love looking around while I'm driving. You see the most interesting things that most people probably just fly past.

The stores are filled with candy right now. I can't wait for summer. At least there aren't any candy holidays in summer. right? Or have I repressed one. I'm going to start trying a new recipe a week I think. There are just too many options out there to stick with the same old same old.

Chips take over in the summer, aisles and aisles of chips.

We all want instant. It took us years to get where we are now, give it time and remember we are all here for you.

cheetos, yummy, crispy cheetos. Replaced by pita chips or baked veggie chips and hummus? Yeah, it keeps the mouth busy but somehow isn't the same. Is it?

Cheetos, my bird loves crunchy Cheetos, he acquired that from his former owner. Every now and then I succumb to those in the summer when it's hot, I'm outside, and my body wants salt.

Haven't had empanadas in ages, my kids used to love them. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to try some soon.

BTW the weather people lied. In the 30's very windy, drizzle all day wind chills probably around zero. Yuck

I have made the salt mistake before too. The recipe was for mashed potatos and called for 3Tbsp of salt added to the water to boil the potatos. I added the salt to the mashed potatos! They were so salty and I wanted those mashed potatos so bad. I did't have it in me to start over so no mashed potatos for me. LOL

I hope you did not throw out the salty empanadas! I would chop them up fine and add them to water to make a soup. Or freeze them until I did make a soup.
