I said that would be fine as I would have already had my breakfast by then, 9AM, she gave me the rolls and said she did not have pan to bake them in. One of the other gals offered her their pan and of course she already had me!!!!
I also have a WW blackberry cobbler to make tomorrow and a meat loaf. Both will require use of the convection oven and the air is running like crazy because it is so hot.
Live and learn, next time I will tell her I don't care what you do as I do not eat them anyway.
Sorry to vent on your board.

Hi newquilter10, glad you're here.
Do you like the WW food?
I increased my cycling speed about 30%. It doesn't say much, I've gone from under 6 mph to a bit over 9. The problem is I lost more weight at 5.6 than at 9.3 because I haven't incresed the time. I have to increase my time to be at least one hour to lose the calories I want. But, I'm still pretty proud of myself for increasing my speed.
Hey Missy, Terryl, I missed you at dinner. I changed my mind on the salmon I had chicken with mole sauce and a salad. I was cooking beans to go with it all but they weren't soft by dinner.
Do you have a recipe for your salmon Terryl? I either bake mine or grill it. Today I used Montreal Steak seasoning, a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a rub, then baked it. It was soooo good!
I buy the salmon at Costco, in the bag. It is individualy wrapped fillets, I split each fillet in half, I figure that is about 3 ozs.

You are right on the weight of those fillets. I weighed mine today and they weigh right in at 6 oz each.
I am thinking along the same lines as you wrote about the length of time you are exercising vs the level you are at. I walk the channel in our local indoor pool. I think if I increase my time I walk instead of adding weights that I will get better results. That is the same thinking that my dietician said when I asked her about it last week.
Keep up the good work y'all!! I am going to the pool first thing in the morning then to have my session with my therapist and then pick up my glasses that are ready. Whew. I am tired already.
Heh.

That was a photo of Missy's salmon and it looked Delicious
:mrgreen: would love to have that receipe myself. When I make my salmon, I use my George Forman grill and while it's grilling I make a sort of glaze/sauce for it. I use a tablespoon of sugarfree orange marmalade and some fresh chopped basil, usually at least a teaspoon of basil, sometimes more, I also adjust the marmalade depending on how many servings I'm making. Once I take the fish off the grill, I immediately put the glaze on it and cover it with a microwave lid for a couple of minutes so the sauce melts over the fish. Yummy.... I tend to have a sweet tooth where salmon is concerned, I usually have either yellow or brown rice, and grilled veggies with my salmon. Occasionally I will marinate my salmon in a teriyaki baste and glaze then grill it. Hope you girls give my orange marmalade a try, it really is good.
