I do wish for more time and that's because now that summer/spring is here, there's so much more outside work.

I'll grab a scoop of rice when we make or order Chinese food (my own basmati rice, not the restaurant stuff, yucka) and that's fun... but I'm not doing cake, cookies, candy (and that's probably the difference right there).<br /><br />So it's low-carb and no treats except for a few tiny dark chocolate chips now and again... and a baby scoop of ice cream once or twice/week. I still cook all the carbs for Dave and the fam when I cook, I just minimize my intake.<br /><br />Life totally without carbs would be wretched. I'm Irish.

There are so many naysayers who give all sorts of odd comments like "it only work that way for a few, the rest sell ten books" or "what a waste of time, obviously no one wants to read it".<br /><br /> Sigh. It's so easy to get discouraged, so I'm trying to get the word out. It's not hard, people! It's a whole new world...<br /><br /> Oh, and yes, *ahem* the food is good. I would like to eat just French bread all day, but that wouldn't be too great. So, veggies and I make an acquaintance every now and then.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-48877520765524685792013-05-29T13:00:44.194-04:002013-05-29T13:00:44.194-04:00Yes, totally peaceful!

I need a sandwich now and then. I don't need sugar. I don't need doughnuts. I don't need cookies every other day.<br /><br /> So, I eat complex carbs and try not to eat like a 3 year old with the run of the grocery store.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-58109349035312437862013-05-29T12:56:57.725-04:002013-05-29T12:56:57.725-04:00Hahahaha!

I'll have to pair this up with tonight's lasagna.<br /><br />Second, I went to Amazon and tried to add to your P,P & CG stats, but it wouldn't let me. Something about buying the book earlier. Silly Amazon. It's next on my Kindle TBR list, though.<br /><br />Third, Ruthy has inspired me. I can't go no carbs - the body complains mightily when I do - but I'm cutting back on carbs by not eating any for snacks, and minimal for meals. That cutting back seems to be working okay, and everybody's happy.<br /><br />So, I can hear you asking now, how is that going to work with lasagna for supper? Whole wheat noodles and small portions - except for the veggie bake!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-58075883493999887912013-05-29T08:30:37.379-04:002013-05-29T08:30:37.379-04:00Susanna, my friend Mia has an i-Pad and she showed...Susanna, my friend Mia has an i-Pad and she showed it to me...
