Crabs

I forgot how much I love crab legs! We went to Whitey's Fish Camp last night and I ordered crab legs. They are the absolute best!!! Whatever they had that they called butter, though, I have no clue what it was. I asked the waitress and she said it comes in a tub already melted. I felt sure there were trans-fats in it, so I just gave it back to her.

We went out to dinner with DH's ex-sister-in-law, her husband, three kids, and oldest kids boyfriend. They are in town for step-daughter's wedding. They were all nice and I really enjoyed their company.

Apples and Peanut Butter

I found a new food combination: apples and peanut butter! I have had this a couple of times this year and really like it a lot. I use my home made peanut butter so there are no trans-fats to deal with. Yum!

Flax Bun

Last night I made sloppy joes. I wanted to eat them on bread, but I have not had good luck with low carb bread. I decided to make a flax bun, and it was fantastic! This is the recipe I used:

2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flaxmeal (also known as linseed meal)
1 egg
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder

I melted the butter in the microwave, then added the flax meal and salt. I beat in the egg, then last beat in the baking powder. I put the whole thing in a dixie microwave safe bowl and microwaved for one minute. I let it sit for one more minute, then took out and cut in half. I eat sloppy joes open faced, so I put some meat on each half of the bun.

It was great! And flax is so good for you. Plenty of fiber and omega 3's. I'm going to do this again soon.

Maintaining

I have been maintaining my weight, which is good. I launched a new web site today: http://www.babytalkzone.com. I really hope it does well. I was going to get more info on it before launching, but since today is my fourth anniversary of quitting smoking (Yes!), I decided to just go for it. I started a Google AdWords campaign to see if it can bring much traffic to my site to get it started going.

Still up a pound

I am still up a pound from the pancakes. I expect the weight to drop off in a few days.

I am pretty excited about getting my new website up at http://www.babytalkzone.com. Just getting everything ready is therapeutic for me. I hope it takes off!

Pancakes and Up and Pound

Last week on Monday I was able to have a portion of pancakes with breakfast. I used SF syrup, and I had no problems. Saturday I tried having them again, and I'm sure I ate more than I did on Monday. Today I am back up a pound. They sure do taste good, though!

Weight back to where it was.

My weight this morning was 133.8, which puts me roughly back to where I was before surgery. I look forward to continuing to lose weight.
