Welcome, Cindylee! I was wondering about your puppies too. ;-)

Yes, welcome!

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. When I get upset, I shop. It sounds like when you get upset, you eat. There, there, dear.

I'm doing the Fat to Muscle diet by Victoria Zak, Cris Carlin and Peter Vash, M.D., if you're interested in doing it with me. After all the food list making, shopping, chopping, and prepping, there's only time to eat and sleep practically, ha ha ha! It's all healthy, and I feel STUFFED!

Here's an excerpt from the book for today's reading:

"Emergency Thermic Boosters

During the day, you may be cued to eat by an emotional

upset, a frustrating experience, too much stress, or

any number of trigger situations that could send you

to food.

At those times, when you reach for food, what do you

usually reach for? High-fat or high-sweet. A candy

bar is a boost, but it's a quick hit that drops you

just as quickly,and it's high in fat. A cheese snack

is a quick sense of comfort because it's high-fat, but

it also leaves you sluggish and non-thermic! These

cues are grabbers that can break your diet.

Next time you reach for a booster, switch your bad

habits for good ones and reach for foods that will

keep your thermic switch high.

Burn: Crisp vegetables with dressed-up yogurt dips*

Bomb: Chips with sour cream dips

Burn: Fruitsicles*

Bomb: Cheesecake

Burn: Frozen berry buds - strawberries, blueberries,

raspberries*

Bomb: Candy bar

Burn: Microwave or air-popped popcorn

Bomb: Pretzels, nuts

Burn: Cracker nips with fruit spread*

Bomb: Cookies

Burn: Fruit exotics - mango, pineapple, papaya, kiwi*

Bomb: Chocolate

Burn: Thermic pizza*

Bomb: Regular pizza

Burn: Creative potato skins*

Bomb: Submarine sandwishes

Burn: Yogurt spreads*

Bomb: Cream cheese spreads

Burn: Fish and veggie roll-ups*

Bomb: Fishburgers and hamburgers

Burn: Stir-fry delights*

Bomb: Sandwiches

Burn: Spritzers*

Bomb: diet sodas

Burn: Fruit frappes*

Bomb: Milkshakes

Burn: Spicy Mary*

Bomb: Bloody Mary

Burn: Mixed Bag*

Bomb: Nut mixes

Remember: When you reach for a booster or snack,

consider it one of your daily Hotplate servings and

account for it. If it's a small booster like a berry

bud, you don't have to count it. If it's thermic

pizza or stir-fry, count it."

*If you want any of these recipes, just let me know.

Have a great evening, hug those pups for me,

Lee Ann

Another welcome, Cindylee_99. You're gonna like it here! Glad you jumped in.

I like dogs, too, even though we're not dog owners - we just live in the middle of a mob of them, mostly golden retrievers. They're my favorites, although DH has a preference for yorkies and West Highland white terriers. I wouldn't have issues with either of them, or with border collies (hi to Annie in SD), Australian shepherds, or shelties.

Hi Cindylee, and welcome to our board. You've found a great one for support and friendship, and I think you'll find that being here can really help you stay focused. It does me.

I run and do weight lifting (light free weights) with The Firm video tapes, plus Tony Little's abdominal workout. Like you, I'm home alone during the week, and my eating can get lazy. Much easier to reach for cookies than it is to slice up a peach with a touch of whipped cream or an apple with peanut butter. I finished up the last ice cream cone last night, so no more ice cream for me for a while, and today I turned my health back over to God. Doing it for my own vanity has never worked, probably because I don't rightly care what I look like to the rest of the world, LOL!

Welcome aboard Cindylee! :) Glad you're here. Hope to hear from you soon.

I missed your post about your dogs. What type are they? We have 2 Maltese and I really love them. They are a high maintance dog though. They don't shed and believe it or not they don't fart, they do burp. They think they are human. My kids tell me that I treat them better than the kids (all my children are grown). It's strange because I usually own big dogs but have always admired the Maltese breed.
