Well, I didn't.    I have been on vacation with my family and have given them my undivided attention, it was marvelous!  13 whole days with no work and nothing planned to do so I could dote on my family and see what it was really like to be a SAHM, it was awesome!  I am so envious of all of you who have the opportinuty to stay home.


Anyway, I'm back and wanted to welcome all the new members!  I have been sooo horrible over the holidays but when I got back here and weighed myself I didn't gain any weight and was super surprised!  But back to P1 to get back on track.


I missed you all.  Ria's Taco Dip was wonderful, I made it twice over the holidays and everyone loved it.  The Egg Nog Cheesecake that I converted to raspberry was yucky.  It tasted ok but was gross looking and has a weird texture, not smooth and creamy, kind of like curdled milk.  I won't make that again.  We live and learn I guess.


I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!

Welcome back!

I have been MIA too. Since early December. It all started when I was needed to bake things for my kids' schools and then friends, and then dinner parties, etc. Actually, I was pretty bad with the sweet stuff, but I had no desire to grab a roll or pasta or white starch. That was a pleasant surprise. I am so excited, believe it or not! to start Phase 1 all over again. I am "cleansing" myself. Day 1 and already I feel great. I am cheating, however, and allowing myself one piece of fruit a day. Today I had a clementine. I really miss my morning oatmeal, though. I have grown to absolutely love the stuff since starting Phase 2 and I look forward to that morning in 2 weeks when I can have another bowl. Boy, I think I will love it even more!

Welcome back Mel!

I was wondering what happened to you...assumed you must be gone for the holidays. I got off track a little during the holidays. Back on Phase 1 this week. I'm feeling better already.

I'm glad to see you back!
