I'm Sorry....I forgot to post here

LOL.  I just discovered that I had this blog also.  Isn't that terrible?  You'd think that the author/owner of the blog would remember.  Perhaps I should qualify as saying that I just figured out how to get back to here?  Yes, that would sound better.

I guess I'll start with an update of "getting healthy".  I've actually made progress.  As some of you may know, I've been trying to lose weight for a long time...as in since the late 60's.  I remember mother putting me on diets.  I've been on more than one version of  Low Carb (LC) and more than one version of Weight Watchers (WW). 

This time around I just didn't listen to any of them.  I just went and did it on my own.  Oh I did some things that were parts of WW and LC but mostly I wasn't thinking.  It seemed to work.  I am the lowest I have been in YEARS.  In 2011 I signed up with FatSecret and that was around 2011 then, are you sitting down?, I weight 299 pounds.  It's been up and down since then but I would like to get down to around 185.  That is 10 pounds more than what I weighed in high school.  I might not make it. it will depend on how I feel and what I look like.  Still it would be great to reach that weight before I retire in a couple of years.

So what am I weighing now?  At my last weigh in, September 10th, I weight 235.  :)

I weigh in on Mondays so I'll let you know in a couple of days if I gained and lost.  To tell the truth, I'm expecting a gain each time I weigh in.   Perhaps that is why I'm still losing?  I'm not freaking out over it.  If I gain I gain but if I lose then that is great.

I'd better get moving on with other things, like my baked potatoes that are in the crock pot right now.  :)

Sweet Potato Cauliflower Fritter

The last recipe that I saved from the Better Homes and Garden November 2014 issue.  Now I can recyle that magazine and pull out another one to look through.  Hope you have enjoyed these recipes.

Hidden Valley Original Ranch Spinach Dip

From Better Homes and Garden - November 2014

Many people might take for granted that this will appear on the packaging of the ranch dip every year but I learned a long time ago that at some point they will stop that practice so it is best to have it in your recipe box.  This blog is like my recipe box so here it is.
