Also, I find that when I get a large sandwich like this, I can only eat half which leaves me with a second great meal.Gari in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695711731891676422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-39944509078173865022009-11-20T14:31:48.191-05:002009-11-20T14:31:48.191-05:00Wow!

Until it started showing up on the scale I was totally bummed out. I am happier now!<br /><br />I bought a rice steamer. I love that machine! Our favorite is the brown rice.<br />XOXOO SubeeSubeeSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952143788729940825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-86003204863819621402009-11-20T13:46:21.758-05:002009-11-20T13:46:21.758-05:00For the record, I gave up eating 'fast food...For the record, I gave up eating 'fast food' for lunch several months ago ... have lost 10 pounds without changing anything else (what does that tell us).<br /><br />Now I pack sliced turkey on whole wheat bread with a touch of olive oil mayo ...far healthier and I don't feel awful all afternoon (or, as Karen put it, 'later').<br /><br />It is all about choices.<br /><br />Hug Oscar ... and yourself!Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19328599423480577982009-11-20T13:18:40.838-05:002009-11-20T13:18:40.838-05:00I'm a "quilting vegetarian" too (lov...I'm a "quilting vegetarian" too (love that expression). You have to remember -- just because it's vegetarian, that doesn't mean it's diet or low-fat or low-calorie. It only means there's no meat or meat products in it. There are other and better alternatives.<br /><br />Hope your foot feels better soon.

The only time is if I'm having a major "I have to eat now" meltdown and then I'll just do the "Jr." burger because they sit in my stomach and make me kinda sick. A baconator wouldn't be good coming or going. ewww. Thank you for THAT karen.<br /><br />Good thoughts to Oscar and dang girl, I've been hooked (guess most cat slaves have) and it isn't nice at all. Ouchie. Kingston is dependent on ME for supportive care right now which is a good sign for peritonitis I guess but I'm fried. Supposed to be a seasoned trooper at this stuff but every-single-time this crap goes done, so do I!!! I would have made a terrible mother.*karendianne.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15557033346962825857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44149072393841611532009-11-20T11:46:24.738-05:002009-11-20T11:46:24.738-05:00Interesting chart...I noticed McDonalds isn't ...Interesting chart...I noticed McDonalds isn't on that chart...they must have healthy burgers then :P Just kidding!!Sew Create It - Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042708937494415876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-89559680662522224352009-11-20T11:09:11.087-05:002009-11-20T11:09:11.087-05:00Poor Oscar - I hope he's feeling better soon. ...Poor Oscar - I hope he's feeling better soon. <br /><br />On the cardio, have you tried an Elptical machine?

Garden Veggie Patties are chock full of yummy veggies, 110 calories, 3 g fat, full of protein and fiber. It's when restaurants add all that "extra" stuff that they become unhealthy. I know this stuff - I am a quilting vegetarian!

Very enlightening. Sorry to hear your foot is still bothering you. Sometime it just takes rest and taking care of to get back to normal. Stretching is good. Our pet store has an item called Pet Pill Pockets, or something like that. It's these soft little cat or dog treats that have hole in the middle to insert the pill into. Then you pinch the top doughy part together and they just gobble it up. Pill and all. Works with my dog. Don't know how well it would work with a cat. Maybe worth trying.<br />You give them a few Pill Pocket with no pill inserted at the start. Chicken and beef flavor! Very clever idea that works.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160457872569395644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-41302429517215006132009-11-20T09:42:32.478-05:002009-11-20T09:42:32.478-05:00I'll stick to my Wendy's Baconater.I'll stick to my Wendy's Baconater.Quilter Raised in the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736737624429367336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-3347266329625698342009-11-20T09:35:04.809-05:002009-11-20T09:35:04.809-05:00I don't usually order burgers when I go out, b...I don't usually order burgers when I go out, but I'm sure the other stuff I'm eating is just as bad.

I stopped eating commercially (whole other issue)produced meat products as much as possible.<br /> As a result it takes time to make a 'meat' meal and we eat far less meat.
