Hi Bella, sounds like you had a really nice weekend. We had a few parties but only made one also. DH has a inner ear infection that is keeping him out of the party mood. I would like to share my butternut squash recipe. I cut it into small cubes (cooks faster and gets sweeter). I massage the cubes with coconut oil and then rub the oil into my skin. I sprinkle with Cumin (a couple of teaspoons and salt. Cook on about 350-375 for 30-40 mins. Add dried cherries and cook another 10 mins. I'm the only one that eats it so I put it in a zip lock and eat it instead of potatoes all week. Just a 1/4-1/2 cup worth with a steak or pork chop or salmon...yum. xxxxx

Sunshine makes all the difference in the world.

Mmmmmm - you do sound like a great cook. Glad you got to enjoy all the sunshine you could over the week-end; indoor chores will ALWAYS be there :) And isn't it nice that you can change that massive bed by yourself. My sister only has a double but she finds it difficult to do herself, running round and round to talk this, pull that, etc so I usually do it for her. And DH is being DH himself I suppose. You've put up with worse - thank goodness for mushyface and a good soaking tub.

...and have you tried the acorn squash? My fave is spaghetti squash because it's versatile...until you get to soups. Then it butternut all the way! There's a roasted pear (or apple) and butternut squash soup that it phenom! Listening to that sweet internal voice is easier when I'm not in a food haze. Glad you listened to yours and enjoyed the outdoors. And big CONGRATS on the bed linens. I didn't even assoicate the slipping fitted sheet with weight, though I've been wondering why it's not slipping so much lately - thanks!

Oh, and have you already tried hemp seeds? I put some in my hot brown rice cereal for breakfast along with some currants - scrumptious!!

It was a nice weekend here as well and spent a lot of time outdoors too. Especially before the snow flies. Hate winter cold and snow. I'm hoping we'll have another mild winter. I'm not much of a squash eater but do buy it and bake/microwave it with some SF syrup, butter and cinnamon. delicious.

Butternut squash... one of my favorites right up there with acorn squash. If you haven't tried acorn squash, I recommend you giving it a whirl. It is a little more dense and nuttier tasting than the butternut - sooo tasty! That's wonderful that you are noticing some very concrete and real evidence of how your weight loss is improving your health and life in general. All of the compliments are nice to hear but having something tangible is much better reinforcement.
