    Day 3-

    Dear Dad. WTF did YOU do the grocery shopping? And, for the LOVE OF GOD… why buy junk food when you KNOW Mom and I are trying to diet.

    Shortbread cookies? REALLY?? REALLY?? You don’t even LIKE them… yet you keep buying them thinking this brand might be different. Just a reminder, MY FAVORITE KIND OF FRICKING COOKIE IS SHORTBREAD YOU DIET DESTROYER, YOU! Sigh.

    shortbread

    I can resist the Hostess Cupcakes. I’m meh on those. Buy em all you want. But for the love of GOD, PLEASE, stop with the search for a shortbread cookie you like because, honestly, YOU DON’T LIKE THEM.

    Signed

    Your Loving Daughter

    P.S. PICKLES MAN… WHERE ARE MY FRICKING PICKLES?!?!?!!? GAH!

    I’m bored with food.  I tend to eat the same things ad nauseum when I find something that’s kicking the scales ass.  Every morning for the last month (or practically) I have had eggs, toast and bacon for breakfast.  This morning I had had ENOUGH of that.

    I know I tend to loose weight more consistently when I eat eggs regularly.  I don’t KNOW why… it just is and I roll with that.  My challenge this morning was to figure out how to make healthy french toast.  Laugh if you must but I damn well did it and it was GOOOOOOD.  Fat Free.  Sugar Free.  Calorie Friendly.  Hot DAMN I’m good.

    French Toast a la NAMG

    3 Slices Light Sourdough Bread                120 calories (40 per slice)

    2 eggs                                                      140 calories (70 per egg)

    1tsp vanilla extract

    1 1/2 to 2 tsp cinnamon

    I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray

    Splenda (to taste)

    Whip Eggs, Splenda, Cinnamon, Vanilla Extract and a little bit of ICBINB Spray.  Spray small skillet with spray oil.  Preheat skillet on heat 6 (Just one notch up from medium).  Soak one slice of bread in egg mixture.  Put in hot skillet and cook until browned.  Flip bread and cook till brown.  Spray lightly with ICBINB Spray.  Repeat with remaining bread, slice by slice.

    Serve with 1/2 Cantaloupe (54 calories) or whatever fruit you prefer.

    Total calories:  314

    No added sugar or fat.

    If its not quite sweet enough for you try a little Sugar Free Syrup (or regular syrup if you can afford the calories and the sugar :)   )

    I know it sounds simplistic… and it IS but it is sooooo tasty and a wonderful treat when you are tired of the same ole same ole.
