What a beautiful day today is... down to 174.8, 11.3 of loading weight gone already! Tom is in full swing, uninvited and unexpected as usual of course. Enjoying some hazelnut coffee to get the morning started and planning my day. Memorial Day weekend is usually packed with activities, sales, outings, and friends aplenty... this all of course with food temptations! It's hard to decide what to do and how best to avoid temptations. I've taken to lugging around water bottles, coffee cups, and tea bags to make my own refreshments wherever I go. It's also nice to have an apple at the ready or to make a strawberry smoothie before heading out. There's a bag of 'living butter lettuce' in the fridge that I am looking forward to this weekend, sweet crunchy love of lettuce! Time to pack up and head out... I'll finish this later!
What a day. Made some Melba toast with toffee capella n stevia for flavoring. Using 1cup all natural whole red wheat flour and 3/4 c water I made the dough. Very thick, and harder to spread, I use parchment paper and a cookie sheet. Spreading out the dough to cover the entire sheet I pop it in the oven at 385 for 30 min. Flip the dough sheet half way through cooking and when it's done grab the pizza cutter and make yourself 40 little squares of heavenly toast!
I have had insatiable cravings today, went nuts on tea and water, a lil overboard with the CD and now after an extra heaping of salad in my dinner, I'm looking forward to my apple snack! When craving I will thin slice the apple and lay out the tiny morsels on the convection oven pan, sprinkle with cinnamon n stevia, bake at 300 for ten min and then savor every last slice of 'apple pie' heaven! Tomorrow is a new day and I have an early morning planned. Off on errands, then a little more menu work!
