Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Heh, I figure I can at least add my sheets to make up a nice dark load.
When one automatically doubles any recipe, leftovers are a given... though actually if I keep living a fairly-Atkins lifestyle, that might not be too big a problem, I'll just learn to cook three meals on Sunday afternoon, freeze them, and eat them all week. Then I hopefully won't succumb to temptations later and eat, say, pizza.
Started SB last Tuesday and when I weighed this morning, I'd lost 7 pounds! Of course folks with more weight to lose, lose faster at first, I understand. But this isn't too hard to do, so I'm gonna stick with it. I'm staying in Phase 1 for three weeks rather than the suggested 2, cause we have a family reunion coming up in August. I'll go into Phase 2 while I'm there, so the additional stuff I can eat may make me less prone to cheat. But regardless, I can always go back to Phase 1 for a couple of weeks when we get back, if I need to do that.
I'm fixing to have my second cup of coffee. I've gotten used to Splenda in my coffee, so that helps. I made myself an omelet with 2 eggs and shredded veggies (broccoli,cauliflower,cabbage, carrots), then sprinkled it with a little cheese. Yummy!
7 pounds - congratulations! It works well, doesn't it? ;-) I'm losing pretty slowly now, but I'm also within 10-15 pounds of where I'll be stopping, so I know it's gonna be a little tougher to lose from here on out. Just wish I was more patient...
Of course, the fact that I cheated a lot over the holidays and while Ben and his gal were here didn't help. But I didn't gain any either, so there's that!
If ya find any good recipes, pass 'em on!
I love having omelets for breakfast! I haven't really changed my breakfasts much from Phase 1, except that I occasionally have pancakes or cereal (Kashi Go Lean) with yogurt and berries.
I usually use the Cabot light cheddar. It's cheap up here, and vey tasty.
I'm going to try making quiche for breakfast. I always feel like it's a waste of time to cook in the morning, even though I know I should eat...
Yay, almost lunchtime! I'm going to take an anime-break over lunch...
Quiche is something you could make ahead of time and heat up, in any case. So that'd be good!
Yeah, that was my thinking. I could make a quiche that has all the stuff I like in an omelet, and just eat a slice for breakfast for a couple days, and it would serve as an emergency dinner too...
Can you tell I'm quite thrilled about cooking for myself? That's second only to the joy of not sharing a bathroom!
These are delicious, though the texture may feel funny at first; kinda spongy. I got this in an e-mail from South Beach. For the leftovers, you can take them from the fridge and pop them in the micro for less than 30 seconds on half power, and they're ready to eat.

Having a big salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for lunch. Yum!
Lunchtime! Yay! As soon as I finish my virus scans...
Not the South Beach cookbook...I meant to say the original book.
What time is your doctor's appointment?
1:45. Just another hour and a half, and hopefully they'll fix me up.
Heh, between this and the dentist, it's a good thing the boss isn't here to know how little time I'm spending at the office today.
Am gonna work more on the script today and this week.
I have heard from mstar!
She wanted me to pass on to everyone that she has NOT forgotten about us. She and her husband have decided to build a home, and have been living in an apartment temporarily until the house is finished, expected in August, and as such has not had cable or the internet installed, as their residence in the apartment is only temporary. She says would like to say hi to everyone in the Hobbit Hole!!!!
Congratulations to the newlyweds, Kimberly!
I had no idea this was even in the works.
Considering you only have a coupla days left, I doubt he's expecting you to be working all that hard...
Yeah, you better be careful or they might fire you and you'll be out of work for a couple days :)
Morning/afternoon, everyone! Did y'all see the thread on this?
Special Announcement: Episode III Title
starwars.com is pleased to announce that Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith is the full title of the next Star Wars film, scheduled for release on May 19, 2005.
Yeah, and I said, ooh, better start planning for the midnight showing now.
Not. Star Wars has jumped the shark.
Hey WN...I had some of your Habanero-Peach preserves this morning. It frightened me at first...but it wasn't killer hot like I thought -- but it was downright tasty! You must have been "judicious" with the Habanero!
