'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, wasn't Chris eliminated last time?
He was auf'd two eps ago, but when Jack (the HIV-positive designer) came down with a sore that had to get checked on ASAP, they brought hime back. Stephen (my Chicago homeboy) was auf'd most recently for the egregious black with white trim matronly dress that was all he could think of to do with a 1980s-era wedding dress.
Oh, right. For some reason I thought he was the one eliminated (a second time). Was he also on the chopping block? I can't remember what he made.
Aveeno I use on the body, and it works pretty well. I ash like a champ.
Sigh. Day One of Weight Watchers. I've eaten every single thing I brought from home for the day, and I'm STARVING. I don't get to leave for another hour and a half. I've got a few points left to play with and still have room for the dinner I'm planning, but I was trying to save them for an after-dinner snack if I need one.
I so badly want to run down to the gift shop, but I know that most of the choices, and especially most of the choices I like, are well above what I can afford while staying within points.
Help me be strong....
Celery is 0 points, Susan!
Drink some water, Susan. Or chew gum. It will distract you, at least.
Also (you probably are already but) make sure you're drinking plenty of water. A lot of the time a big glass of water will wash away my craving.
Pre-shredded cabbage you buy for around a buck at the grocery, 1 table fat free mayo, 3 table vinegar, lemon juice or lime juice, plus your choice of zero calorie sweetner . (I use three packes of splenda, but then again I like my coleslaw really sweet.) Mix with fork and table spoon for about two minutes. You have a pound of sweet creamy cole slaw goodness. If you are willing to spend the points, add raisins - very sparingly (1/4 cup raisins equals two points).
One of the things I'm going to do this weekend is assess what I need to do to have the right kind of food to get me through a day at work and shop accordingly. But I know that'll only work if I stick with it for these three days, because if I stumble early on something like this I tend to give up altogether. (I'm pretty limited as to what I can buy here--the cafeteria has a decent selection but closes between lunch and dinner, and there aren't any shops within reasonable walking distance, so it's pretty much just the hospital gift shop, which runs heavily to salty and sweet munchies.)
I'm planning on bringing carrot sticks to work.
