Grilled Fruit

Weighed in today -- lost 3.2 pound. Total 3.6.

Not too bad -- I want to lose it slow so it will stay off.

That time of the month doesn't help though.

Today we talked about BBQ's since the Fourth of July is coming. Our leader said to declare this our THINdependence day.

They gave me this little book called Move More - telling me about excercise. I need to read it.

I bought the Strawberry Banana Smoothie mix to have at work.

But the cool thing was the discussion about grilled fruit. They said it will make you slap your Granny. Poor Granny. They were grilling pineapple -- I've had that it is good. They were grilling peaches (yes, peaches) leave skin on, spray with butter spray -- grill. And even bananas -- one lady said put curry spice on banana and a little splenda -- cut longways and grill - banana needs to be slightly green. Don't think I'll try that yet.

Anyway -- happy grilling.
