I'm making this tonight. With Parmesan cheese off course

Cheesy Flax Cracker

2 cups shredded cheese*
1 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup butter, softened
In a bowl, combine cheese, flax seed meal and butter. Mix until mixture forms a ball. Roll into a 1-1/2″ cylinder; wrap in waxed paper and store in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm. Using a sharp knife, slice cylinder into 1/8″-1/4″ segments and place 3″ apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 400 degree oven for 6 minutes. Let rest for a minute or two on the pan if too difficult to move. Cool on a rack. Store in a bag on the counter.
Makes roughly 36-48 crackers.

BTW,
I think you can use this as a pizza crust..... (wipes drool)

Ohh I was looking for something I could use as a chip to have with some fresh salsa and guacamole (once I'm in P3... I have a whole schedule made out!) This will be PERFECT!

I am mentioning this because sudden weight loss like that is caused by you letting go of water that you were retaining previously (other rationales could be a clerical error, or a scale malfunction), and my guess would it be be based on sensitivities.
What have you been eating the last days to cause the weight gain to 5 pounds over LIW?

Way to burst a gal's bubble!! lol
i know u are trying to help and i thank you for it!!! the 5 lbs have not been in the last days..the first few came on rapidly the first few days of p3..the others have been a slow accumualtion...i did try a start over to watch for sensitivities...seems eggs cause me trouble grumble grumble and almonds and cheese and well almost anything that is not p2...except for mushrooms yay and now hopefully wine

The tipping point was when I wore a new shirt yesterday and got three compliments before lunch...and it isn't like I have lost anymore weight in the past month. I just realized it was because I was still wearing a lot of the same clothes as I did at the higher weight. I definitely owe it to myself to dress in a manner that shows off the hard work!

As for weight, holding pretty steady still, was down 1 lb this morning and am completely over my brief illness so it seems I navigated that decently well.

Have my future sister-in-law coming to town this evening through the weekend which will be fun as she is a blast....plus now my wife can put her to work on the big brunch for Saturday and I can catch a little break.

For those of you that do yoga, I had a nice moment yesterday when I completed my first unassisted headstand. I've been able to do it with the mirror for support but finally pulled it off in the middle of the room. Once I got it the first time, I was able to do it three more times with no issue...funny how that works. Full handstand is next, but that is going to take some time.

Happy Thursday everyone...make it a great day!!!!

Take me shopping with you! I need some new clothes too! And congrats on the headstand! Those are hard! I can do it, but what do you mean bu "full headstand"?

It is very possible that wine is the panacea of all stabilization ills.

Track what you're eating, then toss it up so we can help stare down any potential troubles

I'll go with this

It's the little things.....


for instance:

My daughter babysits a little boy after his preschool every THursday. Every Thursday his mother sends money for chicken nuggets from Wendys. This is essentially the only 'fast food' the kids get, so it's a treat each week.

Every THursday I smell their yummy goodness and then come home to my 'Phase-whatever' lunch without the convenience of driving through and having my food handed to me :P

WELLLLLLLLLL

Today I thought to myself "I CAN GET A SALAD...What the hizzzzle!" woo hoo

I got a Cobb salad....everything on there is a-okay as I have tried it all with no problems...and the avocado ranch dressing that came with it I was ready to toss until I checked the back and checkity check it: 1 carb

yay-yuh.

:P


(I did semi-cheat though and get a diet coke :X)
