Aloha Fruity Pudding and Weighing in

That dreaded day has arrived.  What was I thinking of having a weigh in on Mondays?  Mondays are bad enough on their own but to do a weigh in?  Actually I know what I was doing.  I was trying to control my eating on the weekends with a threat of weighing in on Mondays.  It might have worked too.  I lost another 4 pounds.  This means I'm down 15 pounds now.

You'll be seeing more recipes since I am finding some that I want to keep track of so what better place than to put them here?  There is a summer salad from a free e-book from Mr. Food for Diabetic cooking.  I love the idea that all the recipes have nutritional information.  I might make this one next week to bring to the Office Birthday Party on the 31st.  The theme is Easter and with all the fruit it reminds me of the summer and Easter.
