Congrats on the 1/2 lb! I love seeing that in the morning! How are the potatos....let me know!?!? They sound wonderfull! Have a great day too!  

Way to go on the weight loss. I love watching tennis as well. No Nadal or Federer in the Men's final ugh. We sound so much alike. I'm going through menopause as well so emotionally when you throw in the trying to lose weight I'm a wreck. I have to plan what I'm going to eat daily so I won't give in to any temptations. Congrats on the 1/2 lb. I weigh in tomorrow. 

Jaynesuss- First let it be said, THE POTATOS SUCKED!!! I do not usually end up with a total failure in the kitchen, but these were terrible. So much for my experiment of swapping out the cream, butter and flour for soy milk and Atkins all purpose baking mix. Check out my journal entry for dinner tonight...you will roar. I have since changed my recipe back to my original recipe. I think this is just one of those recipes I just can not skinny down. My husband loves them, we don't have them that often, I don't make as big of a pan of them when I do make them. I can get by with just having a few tablespoons of them, or just make them on my high calorie day. Aside from that disaster, the chicken and braised cabbage both came out spectacularily!! PS > The remaining potatoes have found their way down the garbage disposal, couldn't get them there fast enough. I did manage to salvage a few slices for each of us, covered his with cheese to hide the disaster. His only comment about them was, "gee honey, I think these are a little different than the way you usually make them but everything else is really delicious!" Gotta love him! I don't think he will ask what happened to the left overs! So I am spending some time searching for high protein/low fat foods and/or snacks. Planning is so critical for me to be able to keep my macro-nutrients on plan. Now here I am at the end of the day, I am short and on days like this I need something I can have that will satisfy my daily plan. My big screw up is that I did not have my protein shake this morning, that would have taken care of it. 

@Bake...If I had seen your post earlier, I would have had you over for dinner...minus the potatos, as you can see from my previous entry, certainly not company worthy and almost not even family worthy...LOL!! 

Oh no!!! Well, they sure sounded good! hahahaaa Some dishes just cant be altered...i agree!!!! I have a couple of those, that I have tried to cut down and go skinny on but it just didnt work! I love your husbands comment..."these are a little different...." My husband phrases himself exactly the same way...I call it his nice way of telling me it sucks! hahahahahaaa Maybe have a boiled egg tonight to add in some protein?!  

@Jay- I will do that, I have a hard boiled one in the fridge, yum that will go well with my fruit and yogurt but I think it will do the trick! 

mmmm sounds good! 

Some really good progress here HealthyBabs! I think we are getting that same snow storm here LOL as its been on the news!
