I'd call today an "S" day..."So Thankful to be Okay" day...that starts with an "S". Or maybe "Several Stressful Things in One Day is Enough" day...that's another day that starts with "S".

I'm so glad you & your sweeties are okay!

Hugs...janie

Hi Overly Beige... Just look at all those green days!!! Unfortunately, but I look at my calendars & see the red first....but what I should be looking at is the green & yellow AFTER the red days. You got right back up & moved on....and when you look at your days, you mentioned the green & yellow firs...

If you really want to figure this out, you could do a one time experiment with plating. Serve the meat onto 1/4 of plate, the beans onto 1/4 , veggies onto a 1/4 - 1/3. Leave whatever space remains as a placeholder for the shells/tortillas. Make your tacos from that plate using however many shells ...

No goodies? I didn't think there WERE any women's meetings without them! lol... I don't know of any BSF groups around here....we live in a very non- denominational area.

Wednesdays are interesting this fall. I go to a women's study on Wednesday mornings at our church. What's there? Coffee...tea...and baked goods. "Goodies", they are called. In my book, these are not "good". They should name them something else...like "Dessert". My strategy for avoiding this pitfall ...

Tuesday. I'm glad Monday is over for this week. The temptation for snacking is the worst for me on Mondays. I watch my teens & my hubbie gravitate into the kitchen about 9pm & I want to join them! I don't think today will be as difficult since I plan to go swimming in the evening. Off to chalk up an...

Hi Edie... Welcome to you too! Vanilla NoS means following the plan without any modifications to it. Some people tweak the rules a bit to make it work better for them.
