NO EXCUSES

* This is a daily thread for those who want to live by the philosophy that you CAN be ON PLAN EVERY DAY, whether you are doing SFT or counting points for ALL foods!
* You aren't doing this to brag; you are doing it for YOU! Because YOU are WORTH IT and because WW has made this totally DOABLE!
* WW gives you a lot of freedom and a LOT of options that make it quite possible to live this lifestyle EVERY DAY.
* You know that this philosophy keeps you on the straight and narrow. If you give yourself an excuse to go off plan today, there will ALWAYS be another excuse tomorrow.
* SO, there are NO EXCUSES!!!
* This is your LIFESTYLE and it is a lifestyle you enjoy and you live it daily.
* Hopefully your participation here will not only inspire YOU but will inspire OTHERS too! YES, you CAN be ON PROGRAM EVERY DAY.

It’s Date Night

Dates add a ﬂavorful complement to romantic dinners for two.Enjoy this peak season for this nutritious and sweetest of fruits.

Seventy-percent sugar by weight, dates have a candy-like sweetness. Unlike other fruits, dates have essentially no vitamin C.Yet even ﬁve or six dates deliver ﬁber and potassium, and no fat.

Sweeten your cooking with dates.
• Slivered and tossed in salads—with Bibb lettuce or baby spinach, mandarin oranges,and toasted pecans
• Chopped and mixed in pilaf, couscous, curries, or stir-fries—in fact,in any recipe that calls for raisins
• In desserts—for an easy parfait, layer pineapple, raspberries, yogurt,banana,and dates;top with almonds.Add chopped dates to cookie,brownie,or quick bread dough.

The funeral was sad BUT it was easier since everything was in Arabic and I did not understand what was being said. The biggest contingent of mourners were our Wednesday group - we showed up en masse and I think the family was happy to see that there were so many foreign women in the life of their mother and grandmother.

As for dates - we have them sometimes. I kind of like the idea of trying them in couscous...dates or perhaps dried apricots.

I make a Lumberjack Cake that uses them and everyone always raves. I keep them in the house.

I've learned to stay away from dried fruit because of the calorie concentration. Not sure I'll add them back in.

Nice treat but pretty rare. Make great energy bar mixed with dried milk for long long bike ride.
