Good for you, glo!

Our annual easter egg hunt at our cabin got cancelled this year--too
much snow to make it up there without snowshoes, and it's really no
contest to find those colored eggs in all this snow. I can't believe we
got another six inches on Thursday, and school was cancelled.

Have a great holiday weekend, and enjoy your Easter meal. It's a good
sign that you were able to stop at one choc egg--maybe that shopping
trip was an inspiration.

This was histerical. At one time, we kept a package of Pink Peeps in
our department (nuclear medicine) at work for...I'm not sure how many
years... to see what would happen over time. They eventually became
concrete like. Very interesting.

I always loved them once they weren't all squishy. I'd open the package
and leave them a week or two or three.

It's funny to hear other people also like their Peeps 'crispy'. That's
the way my mom has to eat them, she will not eat them fresh. They have
to be crunchy and dry on the outside. Weird. My weakness is Reeses
peanut butter eggs. I will be having half of one. We are going to my
mom's for dinner and it's going to be tough because there is going to be
a veritable mountain of delicious food. I am going to practice portion
control and savor and enjoy a taste of everything, no multiple portions.

We're having Easter brunch at my mothers, and Easter dinner at DH's
parents. This is gonna be one tough day.

For those of you who celebrate Easter, how will you incorporate your WOE
into the day?

And how do you manage to stay out of the kid's baskets (my biggest
weakness...)?

Well I just thank god that I'm an atheist.
The telly is awash with crap, and the "second"
and digital channels are all showing Easter stuff,
ITV3 is yet again showing Jesus of Nazareth!
Jesus was here in London today, just ambling
around nibbling the palms of his hands, so I asked
him what he was doing? He replied: "Just biting
my nails", then on the pitch in the park he leapt
up to head the football, I told the kids it was just
Jesus going up for the cross......................
I can remember a carpenter telling me once that
his proffession was blessed because Jesus had
also been a carpenter, I had to point out so had
Karen and look what happened to her!

Easter baskets may be just a US thing. Traditionally parents hide
dyed hard-boiled eggs and Easter candies (though when I was young we
just did eggs -- much healthier) in little nests around the house or
yard, and young children look for them and collect them in baskets.
The idea is that the "Easter bunny" is hiding these eggs for the
children. I don't know why we have a rabbit delivering eggs, rather
than, say, an Easter chicken, but that's how it is.

Peeps are a kind of Easter candy -- sort of a sugar-coated marshmallow
yellow thing that looks like a baby chicken. For some reason they're
kind of a cult thing. See www.marshmallowpeeps.com.

I had invited 5 people over for brnch. I 'd prepared several home made
dishes, so I knwe what was in them. I thought I might use that knwoledge
for making my eating decisions.
But I just ate what I wanted once it was all on the table. There was
onting unhealthy there anyway. And I wnated to enjoyt myself. So i had
smome fish with my blini pancakes, a little bit of butter and sour
cream. bread, a smidgen of cheese, two very small easter eggs, a small
glass of banana smoothie, and fruit salad, coffe, skim milk..

I think I had 800-900 kcal at brunch. Considering it was
breaksfast-and-lunch in one, I think that is fine. I felt stuffed at the
end of the meal, coimpletely stuffed. I hadn'felt that way in a long
time. It was great to discover that I do have a sense fot what eating
the right amount is. I though my body didnt have a satiation point. But
it does. Yay.

Then I ate very moderatly during the rest of teh day. I clocked in at
1675 kcals for the whole day. That is slighlty less than otherwise.

no kids here but I went to son's restaurant and I ate a turkey dinner
with mashed potao with cheese plus summer squash& one fat slice of
homeade bread dipped in olive oil & pepper YUMMMY

(green salad too) and desert was tiramisu

OHHHH it was good. I took home turkey & veggies but left potato there!

I had a great Easter dinner!!!
Oh, I went first to church
glo

PS Forgot to add that we shared the one dessert !!! DH & I .
