Cooker's Throwdown Friday III -- 11-26

AgilityDog · Dec 1, 2010

I rejoined WW online this week, after a 6 month hiatus from the $18/month fee. WW revamped its program. I sure hope going back to tracking all my food will help me with this creeping weight issue, even though a good bit of my issue is water. Fortunately I have an appt. with the cardio next week, and will discuss adding back the spironolactone on top of the daily lasix.
If I stick to WW and do my tracking, maybe I can show him what I'm eating, that I'm not eating sodium, and that this is a real issue.
I do think I'm going to like the new program. With fruits being "free" there's more room to get my daily dairy and healthy oils, and not be starving. 18 daily points was crazy!

In the annals of Stone Thanksgiving's . . . the year of the casserole

Wise, praying all goes well with your mother's diagnosis tomorrow.

We fit 31 people in to our small house for a Thanksgiving Day meal. Out of necessity, oodles and oodles of casseroles were baked and kept in various holding stations until we ate. Somewhere between 18-20.

Today, six days later, I found a forgotten lasagna in the oven. :eek2:

I'll do better at Christmas.:wink2:

Wise I'm praying that the news on your Mom is better than expected.

My weight is off the charts so I'll be back to the throwdown. I gained lots just during Thanksgiving week to add to too much weight gain in the last year. I sure won't be posting my weight. LOL but I will post my lost weekly well hopefully my weight loss.

Good luck to everyone. See you on Friday. Marie

Great to have you back with the Throwdown, Marie! Superbob suspects that several Throwdowners have gone "off the charts" in recent weeks, including the Man of Steel himself. :eek2:

We'll all support each other in getting the chart back into balance as we go into the New Year.

Well back Earline! This is a good place to come to when the calories have been winning. It certainly helps keep me focussed.

Thanks to all of you for your kind words and encouragement. My mother's biopsy (actually a bronchoscopy to get the tissue for a biopsy) has been rescheduled for tomorrow. I don't know why but suspect it has something to do with the Lovenox injections she's getting. She started on them a day later than they had planned. May have nothing to do with it.

I'm slowing shedding almost 3 pounds I gained from Thanksgiving meals without gluten, dairy or sugar. Eating too much gluten free dressing has to be one of the definitions of insanity.
