Morning Friends,
Not much going on here. The weather is still AWESOME!! Like usual. Today is supposed to be 85ish here. That's why I love to live in Southern California, even when we think its cold over here - its only like 50ish and sweater weather. LOL
Yesterday I did 3 loads of laundry, a bunch of paperwork and made a batch of Chocolate-almond-protien-bites and put them in the freezer for next week so I will have a sweet treat to ease the pain after my foot surgery. :-)
I made a pot of what I called Un-stuffed-cabbage. I saw on Sandy's page something like this. I grew up eating stuffed cabbage and love it. But cabbage is one of the things that I was eating in moderation since the BFC because of the sugar. This stuff tastes just like stuffed cabbage rolls - but in a pot, and of course I used turkey instead of beef. Very good.
Today I plan on cleaning the house, vacuuming, mop, bathrooms and maybe my toes if I feel like. I don't think I can have on polish for the surgery so maybe I will just do clear. I can't have my feet looking like flintstone feet for the surgery. LOL
I seemed to have not been eating any wheat the past week, but that's only because I ran out of bread and need to go to Sprouts today. and believe it or not my weight is up 3lbs this morning - so I DON'T believe it keeps the weight down.
My breakfast yesterday was a muffin - like the usual way with crushed walnuts and a few blueberries inside, with my coconut butter on top.
Lunch came up too quickly and this is all I could find real quick. Shirataki noodles, turkey meatballs and monte bene pasta sauce.
Snack was the last lonely cookie with some of my chocolate-hazelnut butter on top - and yes it was GOOD.
After I was done cutting the protein bites - well I had to eat all the crumbs in the pan and 1 that looked deformed. Well I just couldn't put it away like that now could I?
My dinner was the Un-Stuffed Cabbage
I wound up with 2 walks yesterday - 1 in the morning and 1 later after dinner.
My breakfast this morning was Oatmeal-Protein pancakes. I love these. They have good texture and taste. I ate some bites with Natures hollow preserves and some with my coconut butter. Happy Tummy now to start my day.
OK gotta go clean now - so have a nice day.
This is PurpleRosy signing off...
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Stevia Chart
Some tips if you are having trouble
- First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
- Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
- Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
- Make sure you drink lots of water.
- Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
- Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
- Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
- Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.
I hope this helps.

I grew up with stuffed cabbage too. That soup looks good. I did what I said and I am reading our blog from the very beginning. Very motivating. You really accomplished something important and should be proud. Don't work too hard! XO
ReplyDeleteI do remember being very sinical in the beginning and thinking that I can NEVER do this forever. Boy I was wrong. LOL
Delete* should have said 'your' blog...not our blog!! Wishful thinking!
ReplyDeleteDid you see the post on one of the many sites that the gal just makes the muffin a little more runny and makes it into pancakes? I don't eat the muffin, but I wondered if it was the same?
ReplyDeleteThat dang weight gain!!! Good luck to both of us on getting it off!
Its pretty much the same thing as my pancakes - I guess. I don't see why not.
