Dinner done....hubs had grilled hamburgers and I had 1/2 grapefruit and some reconstituted dried peanut butter on whole wheat air puffy things you can get in the store. They are the size of a large pancake and excellent to eat when you want crunchy but not the calories. And I have discovered dried peanut butter....45 cal. per two tbsp. vs 190 cal. for regular. And to me it is just as good...you mix with water until smooth and then it spreads just like the whole fat peanut butter.

Yep....trying to take this diet thing pretty seriously so I can take some of the load off my knee.

Awww, nite Sun :)

Rice cakes Glam? :unsure:
Don't go so strict you set yourself up to fail :facepalm:

:wub: Trying not to, Dale.....these cakes are not rice cakes...they are a new product. The grocery stores that sell them have a machine...they put in these little pellets and they come out looking like a big old puffy pancake. You can get them in flavors. I buy the whole wheat ones so that I can eat them with peanut butter, or tuna, or low fat cream cheese. They do not have a lot of flavor, but they add lots of crunch, and only 15 or 20 calories. And I still take bites of anything I want...but just a bite or two. Trying to limit myself to about 1100 calories a day...but even that is a lot when you are not very active. :(

Hi, jj. :wub: Hi, Stone. :wub:

    Hi, jj. :wub: Hi, Stone. :wub:
    Well now don't be too sure about that Glam.
    Since I've been messing around with the Thrush and the BMS and all that I've lost 13 pounds in the last few months :unsure:
    We think one of the major reasons is that I cut out all the French Vanilla coffee I was drinking every night :facepalm:
    Course I don't eat as much as I used to either since everything hurts :unsure: But I doubt seriously that anyone sits around doing nothing anymore than I do :oops:

    Edit: Little pellet's of what :unsure:

    Hi, jj. :wub: Hi, Stone. :wub:
    Hi Glam :) The only thing that helps keep me at a good weight is that I walk a lot. It's one of those "living in a city" things...good luck with the program :thumb:
    Good evening Stone :)
    Thought you were gonna be late tonight? :?:
    Today was my day off...I had to get a lot done, and of course didn't get it all done :lol: I'll have to sign off early to finish everything. But I did go out to dinner, so that was nice :D

    Dale....I do not know what the pellets are....they put in about a half cup and the machines make popping noises...like popcorn, but different. The ingredients are whole wheat flour, corn flour, rice flour water and salt....so that must be what the little pellets are. I found them several months ago in a grocery store in the suburbs, and then our local store got one of the machines so now I have access to them. Also, Amazon sells them, but you have to buy 12 bags of 12.....LOL, that is a lot of air puffed cakes....they are called Coco Lites in my store...they had a different name in the other store.

    I wonder if the process is similar to making Cheetos....they are "air puffed" :?:
