I think I've lost a little bit - not much but I'll take it! I have to try and drink more water - I don't usually drink water but do drink a lot of black green tea. Yesterday I put some lemons in the water and it was good!

I was just diagnosed with diabetes so dieting is all new to me. We're a meat and potatoes family so adding the veggies and fruit will take some work. I did plant a garden and I'm looking forward to that. It's hard for me to say no to the carbs. Our office runs on chocolate and treats. Planning is something I need to learn rather than eating on the go. Even today we are all going out to lunch as we just closed the books on our fiscal year. I'm hoping there will be a good salad on the menu. Thanks for the long distance support and chance to learn something new. Ellen

I thought I would post the recipe here in case anyone else wanted it. I don't really measure anything I just eyeball it because I make it so often.
Tomato Basil Bread
2 envelopes yeast
1/4 c warm water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
Put the warm water in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast,sugar and salt. DO NOT STIR. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then add:
1/2 c tomato puree
1 c warm water
2 tbsp dried basil or 1/4 c fresh
about 4 c flour start with this amount and if needed add more a tablespoon at a time
2 tbsp oil
Mix well and knead until smooth and elastic about 5 minutes. Cover bowl and let rise about 1 -1/2 hours. Punch down, let rest 15 minutes, shape into loaf place on flour dusted cookie sheet slash top. cover and rise 1 hour. bake in 375 oven for about 40 minute or until it sounds hollow when you hit it.
Here is a recipe for a dip I use for company. I cut out the center for a bread bowl and fill the center with dill dip.
Dill Dip
1 1/2 c mayo ( I use light)
1 1/2 sour cream ( I use plain yogurt to lighten it up)
2 tbsp dried parsley
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp dried dill
1 tsp celery salt
Mix all on a bowl. chill 1/2 hour before serving.
this is great as a veggie dip.
slice the bread add cheddar cheese and roasted pepper it is a sandwich to die for. I also love it with chicken salad. YUMMMMMMOOOOOOOOO
this post doesn't seem like it belongs on a weight loss thread :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Let me go look at my file and see what I can find that I love and is compatible with losing weight.
