that is so funny. The only limitations on nuts that I have are that they must be unsalted and preferably raw (they don't kick in salt cravings that way and take longer to eat when raw) and now I rarely eat them.

I did order the sprinkles so I will let you know how that goes.

[athomeontherange]

with a nut allergy, its hard to find bars without them hence my magnetic draw..LOL

Yes please let me know how the sprinkles are!!

[RMS123]

I almost wish I were allergic to nuts...that are too easy for me to over-indulge in. I do better to just stay clear (easier said than done sometimes...).

[athomeontherange]

The scale does not define me!!!

The above should give an indication of what type of number I saw today. I need to measure. Lily shared her cold.. yeah me. Headache is back. Slept better last night but then again I took a couple advil pm's so I guess you could say I cheated.

B: bacon/egg pops- made yesterday, overcooked the eggs a bit
L: leftover from last night dinner. I made soup, it had ham in it. I love the stuff so. It was made with bonebroth, onions, celery, carrots, kelp noodles and cabbage. Soup will make it all better- the cold at least- I hope. Skipping h2o aerobics though because the asthma is acting up. Frickin' weird weather!
D: probably a stirfry- I took out a steak

I am feeling tired today, even though went to bed at a good time. Poor Lily and her cold, I gave her a warm shower, cold meds and put her to bed at 7:15pm- she was asleep at 7:20pm. She woke tired too.

Ruth: I see you figured out the signature

[RMS123]

Hope both you and Lily get to feeling better soon!!! Keep up the nutritious soups. Great stuff, especially with your homemade bone broth (a batch of which I have brewing myself).

[demuralist]

I find if I eat raw nuts I get tired of chewing before I have a chance to over-indulge.

My bone broth is done today and I will be making my lunch soup. I have missed it. Dh worked from home a few days last week and he eats 3 servings of the soup when he eats it. I like that he is getting all that nutrition and protein without realizing it, but when I don't know he is going to be eating at home it is hard to plan to have enough of the soup and so I ran out. And since it has been taking 3 days for the bone broth (in the crock pot) and a full 24 hours to make the soup, planning is essential.

Bad food choices have hit my gut. OMG.. I should head to the confessional. This is worse than lactose...ugh! The fit bit has arrived and I am going to start using it tonight to check sleep.

[Pebbles67]

Yay Fitbit!

[RMS123]

Ooh, fitbit, can't wait to hear about it.......

I wish bone broth would make itself. It goes too fast. It's not hard, but like you said Chris, it takes forever to cook!

[athomeontherange]

Yes bone broth does go fast. Before I moved though I bought about everything with a bone, so I could keep bone broth going and could freeze it to get a little ahead. Its all at mom's. LOL Need to get some more.. I am down to one small container in the freezer (that I forgot to take out and make soup with tonight).

I will keep you posted on the fitbit. You can set up an account without one to log quite a bit. Paula- you can log blood sugars, blood pressures, heart rate etc. so you can see a big picture...

more later.
