doing good

So Grumpy and I decided a couple of weeks ago after I found a vegetarian version of the South Beach Diet to give it our best. We both could stand to lose a few pounds and our life style needs a bit of improving. Coincidently Cherry launched the The Bloggest loser Launch which we went and joined. So we have been pretty good the past view days. Like today I made cauliflower mash potatoes and green beans for dinner and I went to the community center which has a olympic size pool to get a punch card. I went ahead and tested the water, I did 24 laps (25yards as they had the pool converted) in a little under 20 min so that wasn't to terrible since I am out of shape and the swimsuit was to big. I'll go back tomorrow now that I dug out my speedo swimsuit. Being at the restaurant last night was pretty hard. It was dead and that garlic bread looked and smelled sooooo good. I didn't give it in but it was hard. I snacked on some cucumbers. As it got time to close I went to ask the cooks if I could have a veggie soup. They had made pasta but went ahead and made me some soup, unfortunately the owner was in a pissy mood and I got chewed out for getting something extra made. Well one more week and 4 days to go with no carbs then we get to reintroduce them in small amounts. Even thou I have to say the cauliflower mash potatoes where really really good.

Pour a little whiskey and roasted garlic into the mashed potatoes, really picks 'em up.

Soup is good, I like minestrone, may make some this weekend and put the recipe up.

How many carbs in a Leberkäse sandwich? I could kill for one of those. Making beef rouladens this weekend. Just trying to help you with the diet thing.

Katy,

Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your note. Yup, I realize you wrote it on my blog over a month ago, but it's been a while since I had computer access. Africa, and all that. Besides, it's the thought that counts, right?

-D
