Last night I really wanted to eat after 8:30pm. I think this might end up being one of the most beneficial habits I can learn (besides better spiritual daily devotions). In general this is where my efforts to eat healthy and not as much go out the door. Willie and I are in a habit of watching TV together and making some caramel popcorn or something else delicious. It's really fun. I have to realize that it can still be fun, even when he's digging into a bowl of caramel popcorn without me.
I talke to Jayleen and things are going well for her. She's enjoying it and feels positive about the challenge. She has concerns about having just a little bit of sweets instead of the whole thing and is still craving sugar.
Because i have my serving of dark chocolate I feel pretty good as far as sweets go. If someone tried to take it away from me, I'd cry. I'm possibly going to try some kind of healthy-ish dessert for FHE, though my kids complain sometimes. I really like coconut oil, oats, peanut butter, honey and cocoa powder. It's like a no bake and would go along with the section of the food list that is only 5 times a week. They are really high in calories, though and i'm not sure if I can eat just one square. I'll let you all know.
Karen, I'm glad you are home and I hope things work out with your car and I hope your mom gets better soon.
Sally, I would love the complete recipe for your no-bake squares. Here is another light treat idea:
ReplyDelete3,2,1 Cake
Mix up:
one box of cake mix (any flavor)
one box of One-Step Angel Food Cake Mix
Put this into a ziploc bag and when you're hungry for cake simply mix:
3 Tablespoons of the cake mix combination
2 Tablespoons water
in a microwave safe mug and heat on high in the microwave for one minute. Voila! You have your own little individual cake! Sometimes I top mine with fat free cool whip :)
I thought I posted yesterday but I guess it didn't go through. Actually, I'm a little worried that I posted on some random blog! Oh well. It was a great post...Yesterday went well but I'm still having some sugar cravings.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I'm so glad everything worked out and that your Mom is healing. Let us know if anything changes.
Thank you guys both for your positivity and recipes!
Since my food is going so well I decided to focus on the spiritual side a bit and found the "Book of Mormon Translation Challenge." You simply read the Book of Mormon in the same amount of time that it took Joseph Smith to translate it. It started yesterday and ends June 30th. I thought about trying to finish by the end of our challenge but I want to get the feel for how long it took to translate. How are your spiritual sides going?
