Sweet Tooth Update

Update: I had a major stomach bug after eating some Little Caesar's Pizza ( no crust), but I was able to still do my morning workouts this week. Yippee for me!! I am finally under the 330 lb mark, lets see how long this will last after this weekend =)

What is cooking in the Kitchen?

I used Coconut flour instead of Almond flour. Another use: sprinkle some "Graham Crackers" to your Carbmaster Strawberry yogurt, yummy.

Happy Monday (yes, Happy)

First, I give much Thanks to our American Troops overseas!! God Bless America!!

Second, I did some major Mexican lowcarb cooking this weekend and it turned out great!! Here are the links to the recipes:

Spinach Lasagna - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/spinach_lasagna.html
Sausage Quiche - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/sausage_casserole.html
Chicken Fajita Salad - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/fajita_salad.html

FYI, I used Turkey Meat/Sausage for the lasagna and quiche. Now I have enough food for the work week!!! Thank you Linda for the wonderful recipes!!

Third, this whole weekend I was eating low-carb, plus exercising (mostly walking). As of today I lost 4 lbs (from 337.8 lbs to 333.8 lbs) !!! I know it mostly water weight, but I will take that!!

So it this the formal for weight lost??
(Low Carb / Lapband ) + (Cardio Exercising *5 ) + (Weight Training *2) = Weight Loss

Only time with tell. I am praying to stick to this plan.
