regular holiday

It's Brisket time in the Pseudo-South....

Texas is a whole 'nother country.

and not in the South per se

Although it might very well be south of where you live!

And probably is!

Brisket with Sugar Free Pancake syrup and hot sauce.

It's pretty good!

My new fave snack is Pork Rinds with cheese...

Made like nachos...

And covered with hot sauce!

Can you really lose weight eating cheese and brisket?

Yep. You can. It's called "LoCarb."

Still holding strong on the Yerba Mate

and no coffee, no Monster Energy Drinks.

Divide up the stash of peanuts....

Although I think it would behoove me

to drop them altogether for now.

I found the Yerba Mate has a few carbs!!

Who knew?

More to the point - the bigger question is

Now What? 

Time to dig a little deeper 

into my Problem Solving Repertoire

and see what needs to be done - and do it!

I can cut back here and there - 

it's all good!

LOW carb is not NO carb.

(But it IS the new Low Fat!)

Conflicting reports show anywhere from 2 - 8 grams 

of carbs per serving. How can that be? Is it even true?

My Mother used to say that every thing is either animal,

mineral or vegetable. Or VitaMeataVegamin.

She always loved and accepted me.

I'm lucky that way. Probably more lucky than I know.

I found this while cleaning out old emails and files from

my Mac. Out with the old. To make room for the New and

Improved! This was 1998 - ish. Hi Mom!

She would be 90 if she were still living.

I couldn't take her anywhere!

She was always fun and the life of the party.

This was probably the first time 

she had ever seen a computer.

Even one with no sound.

I have a good feeling about this whole 

New Years thing....

Thanks to Everyone who has been so 

supportive and kind through my

amazing and occasionally tumultuous

weight-loss journey!

Blogs and Kisses!

And I hope that where ever you are,

you are happy and healthy and

know that you are loved!

Happy New Year!
