Honeybee's Diary

We have a new man at the nursing home. His name is Andrew. He is 87 and he has every heart prob possible. I love him. He has the cutest german accent. Last week he taught me to play gin rummy. and Now I try to play a game every night before I come home. I missed him so mcuh on Sunday. Then when he saw me at work he just lit up and touched my cheek and said he missed ME all weekend. It really made my day. I just wish that our time wasn't so limited. I hope he's with me for awhile. He's reallly someone special.
 
It’s wonderful that you love your job so much; we can only hope that if we ever find ourselves in that situation that we have someone who will care about us like that. Good on you.
 
I am just about to get on the treadmill when I get off the phone with James. I am PUMPED TO GET ON IT!!! I just looked at WonderWomen's before and after pics. Damn she looks good!!!!
 
It is like 2 in the am. I just got done running. Now I need to clean house. I won't be able to weigh in tomorrow am. So now will have to do. I will post on the Group 3 thread. Then do I post on the Club thread too??? oh well. I am tired. Okay. TIme to go weigh myself. I just wanted to say that I tried really hard the past two weeks. And even though I didn't do my ABSOLUTE PERFECT BEST-I worked at it. ANd before I weigh myself and find out the outcome...I want to tell myself that I am proud of me. And if the scale says different I just want to have somewhere to remind me that I all my hard work was not for nothing. YOu know how you tend to beat yourself up if that scale doesn't say where you want to be. ugh..I mean WOOHOO! here I go to find out!!
GO HIPPY HOTTIES!! I hope I do ya proud!!!
 
I just read through your diary and I see you are having a hard time with the veggies.
I was a REAL veggie hater about 3 years ago.....but then I figured out that I could get alot more food on the weight watchers plan if I started eating them....And if your not eating all the "bad" stuff to where your use to those flavors..and you get pretty darn hungry....a big bowl of green beans with some garlic salt..pepper...and a pad of butter ..taste like heaven.....especialy when you have been exercising and your body is looking for "fuel".....I am so ready to start the next competition.....the difference between just not eating healthy or exercising..for 2 weeks is incrediable!...I have no energy, I want to eat everything in site...and I have been somewhat depressed......A healthy lifestyle is where its at!!!!..I'm heading back to that side....lol

I love the honeybee KC!! YOu're right about that getting yourself used to all the REAL foods. and not the man made ones!! I had carrots today!! Trying really I am!!
 
Hi mate im sorry I haven’t got back to you but I couldn’t find who I had promised the recipes to. I will post them as soon as I get back from this weekend.
 
Curried mince
500g low fat mince
1 stock cube (beef)
1 tablespoon of curry powder
3 tablespoons of sugar (I use sugar because I can’t stand the taste or texture of cooked fruit)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 small piece of pumkin
1 small turnip
1 small onion
1 small parsnip
1 small carrot
4 potatoes cut into chunks
And any other vegetable you like or don’t like lol
Cut up the veggies you don’t like really small and fine these will dissolve into the curry and you wont taste them except for peas don’t put the peas in it lol.
You can add more of the veggies you do like and less of the ones you don’t like.

Put mince in a pot and cover with water, boil till mince is brown. Skim any fat residue from the top of pot (there shouldn’t be much if the mince is good.)
Add all the veggies except for the potatoes boil for a further 20 min, I no this sounds like a long time to cook it but it helps get rid of all those veggies.
Add the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients and cook till potatoes are soft but not mushy. Mix about 2 tablespoons of cornflower with water to get a smooth paste and add to thicken it up cook for a further 5 min. You can eat this by its self or you can have it on toast …so yummy on toast for breakfast. You can also freeze this so you have some ready made dinners. I hope you like it.

You can also make curried chicken noodle soup from this same recipe but just add chicken and noodles instead of potatoes and mince and don’t thicken it. Or have rice instead of noodles just cook the rice separately.

This is not a ww recipe it is something I used to have before ww and have just changed to lean meat instead of fatty meat.
