Had my shake for breakfast, now having salad with olives and cheese, and light Italian dressing. Sadly, my store no longer carries Very Veggie (the bagged brand I loved) and now has a store version. There are less pea pods in it. Hmph. What are you having?

Had dental surgery yesterday and my mouth hurts. Been eating soft food, and treated myself to a carb bonanza. Oops.

Oh, I'm sorry that you're hurting, Jilly. On the bright side, you got necessary dental work done! I still need some...:(

As for low-carbing it, I made some shirazi last night. That fresh cucumber-tomato-mint salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.

Lisa, you've got me hooked on those low-carb chocolate shake drinks from Advantage. I don't drink them daily but I do drink them when I need to rush out in the morning. They taste great, keep me filled and have a slow glucose rise. Thanks!

I need to try those shakes.

Lori, thanks for your kind thoughts on my mouth. It's nice to have an excuse to eat soft, sweet food sometimes.

And yeah, YAY on getting needed dental work done. I don't want to lose my teeth. FLOSS, everyone! Go now.

Jilly - it's fine to rest and relax when recovering! It's great that you took care of your teeth!

Lori - I'm glad you enjoy the shakes! They're definitely just right for me in the mornings. I'm not up for eating something, but I know my body needs nutrients after the long night's fast.

I had my shake earlier, now having my salad. Yes I like my routine . What are you guys having today?

I might go back to having a glass of milk in the morning. I remember liking that when I was low carbing. I don't really feel hungry for a few hours after I wake up.

I like routine, too. I need to make some. I'm dedicated to working on it.

Take it one day at a time Jilly! You're doing great!

Salad time! I even have hard boiled egg on it today, thanks to my boyfriend Bob. Ranch dressing, olives, cheese. How about you guys?

Wow I'm actually having a salad at a normal lunchtime. This morning-waking-up stuff is strange How about you guys?
