Morning everyone, tonight for dinner not sure yet. I am thinking of having shredded chicken sandwiches, I have to dig to find the recipe.
Crazyworld I made your bread pudding last night and hubby died and went to heaven. I am being heralded as a saint this morning. Thank you for the recipe. That will be a new favorite for holiday dinners.
Looks like for the first time in my life I just might be right behind you axinom doing this dieting thing---since stopping smoking I have probably gained close to 10 pounds now!! Yikes! I can still fit my same clothes but they are starting to get snug and they were baggy before!! Also the lack of exercise is a big part of it I am sure. In CA I was out and about all the time---no real weather related issues there. Here I sit in the house because it's either to cold for me (I am from CA so although it may be to cold for me most from here would probably be out in it more often) or the roads are all messed up from snow or rain! Hopefully, with spring, I will be more active out in the yard and that will help to lose some of this "flab"! I need to buy some munchies that aren't fattening like fresh veggies and fruit. When I smoked I just had a cigarette when I got hungry or bored but now I eat.........

I am right there with you Cyn. I have developed a horrible sweet tooth. Just munch, munch, munch all day long. ARGH!!!!!
I already feel better----thanks for being with me here. Maybe once you get a little farther along with your not smoking we can figure out how to lose all of these wonderful exta inches! Right now you worry about staying smoke free. It's not as much weight as I had feared--really. But I do want to nip it in the bud!! The more I gain the harder it will be. I have not been one bit careful either---I eat anything and everything in sight. Just ask my DH. Ha!
I am hoping to start walking more. The weather has been dreary lately, one day 75 the next four lows in the 30's highs in the 50 and 60's. Coming from CA too (there 5 yrs) I am not used to the changes anymore either. I just want to bundle up and hide out. You'd never know that I grew up in Northern oh and had to deal with really cold weather. It is crazy how fast a person adapts to warm climates. LOL
We will have to start a thread about how to jazz up carrot sticks.
Not just the eating more but it's a metabolic change to your system.
Special K now makes crackers, 17 of them=90 cal so everyday I count out 17, put them in a baggie and snack all day on them. Red grapes too-maybe about 10.
Angel food cake-low calorie and satifies sweet tooth. I also make a HUGE bowl of fruit-froz strawberries, blueberrie, peaches, rasperries with pepper, brown sugar and balsamic vinegar.
Wow, this weather is just crazy! We just got a dusting of snow Monday, when Cyn was deluged, then 8:00 pm Monday night it started coming down and snowed until around midnight. Yesterday 18, windy and freezing, today low 30's. Fri. is sup. to be 72, Sat. 74 and possible 80 on Sunday. Just in time to change the clocks.
Tonight's dinner is going to be stuffed flounder with shrimp, scampi sauce, baked potatoes, green beans and zucchini.
