I’m not depriving myself —I’m testing my limits. Pasta once in a while is ok. ... See MoreSee Less

My mother always said don't deprive yourself of anything because your craving will double! Moderation is the key!
You’ve got to treat yourself every once in a while or a weight loss/healthy lifestyle isn’t sustainable.
Have pasta once or twice a week. But not a big bowl, just a small side serving with some green veggies and lean protein. No food need be totally off limits.
Yum. Looks so good! My hubby has diabetes and I make pasta dishes for him using Banza pasta, made from chickpeas. I eat it too - it's very good.
Cheat day is actually good!
I'm lactose intolerant but I don't know what I would do if I couldn't have wheat flour and all the things it makes like sourdough bread and pasta
You're absolutely right. Everything in moderation. Or chances are you will just binge if you don't.
If you eat veggies or meat or seafood before eating those noodles it will help prevent a major rise in your blood sugar. Take a walk afterwards that helps with blood sugar control too. Cook the pasta then chill it (for at least 24 hours) and reheat to cut down on the carb contact. There is a bunch of sciency reasons for this but the simplest explanation is that God does not want any Italian to be deprived of pasta. So He blessed us with a way to remove resistant starches.
It IS ok🍝👍🏻‼️
That looks so good, I could it that every day! But only in moderation!
Looks delicious 😋
Yes it is!
👍👍☺️🇺🇸🌎

Best airport shopping for sunny stuff! Thx Palm Beach 🏝️ for all the fun, food, and swimming 🏊♀️ #travel ... See MoreSee Less
Next time you come let us locals, who love you, get together and treat you to a laid back dinner somewhere. I turned my boss onto you. She had a call with you a few weeks ago. She had a painting of two Haitians women, and a huge antique piece of furniture and one other thing.
So beachie
Love all the beachie colors!
As a local, I can tell you that airport has some really great gift ideas! Miami is awesome too!
Isn't it more expensive at the airport?
Nice merchandise 😍
Safe travels🙏🩷
Have a great time. Use sunscreen you wild women 😜 stay safe. ❤️
Love the breakers in pal beach

Who knew Tiger Woods could cook too? Liked his restaurant #travel #golf #food ... See MoreSee Less
Well, he certainly can’t drive! Menu looks awesome!
Well, he enjoys cooking as a hobby, and he is the owner of the restaurant, but thankfully he's hired trained chefs. 😁 🥦🍆🥔🥑🥥🫑🌶🥦🍄🥐🥩🍠🍤
Stay off the roads when he’s around lol. Maybe He hired a driver.
How long are you here for?
Tiger woods has a restaurant 😳. Fantastic. Looks like you enjoyed it 😀 👍 😄

Sunburn but so worth it! #travel ... See MoreSee Less
Vinegar (diluted for face). Pickle yourself and the pain reduces significantly, less chance of blisters and you will tan! From your very Irish friend. PS - the smell goes away quickly. Do not put any lotion or oil on as it will hold in the heat.
Sour cream takes the sting out. Or pink baby lotion. Old tricks from when I lived in Florida.
Mr Sol gets more intense the further south you go!
Get yourself a glass bottle of castor oil... it is the deepest Penetrating and. Healing oil..it will sooth it and heal it in hours.. its thick sooo do it before bed... it helps you fall a sleep too.. be careful Dr.Lori 🙂
I use solorcaine spray. Take it from a pale Irish woman ! Spray is great...no touching the 🔥 burn 😍
Nice tan coming
I love Singer Island. You should read Palm Beach Babylon. You’d be surprised at all the shady things that happened from Singers, and other big names. It was very interesting.
This will sound weird but it works. Buy a container of tea( keep it cold)and paper towels. Pour the tea into a bowl. Wet the paper towels and wrong out until damp. Lay the paper towels across the sunburnt areas until the towel is warm. Repeat as neccessary. Did this to my daughter in law and it took away the sting and some redness. My daughter has done it as well. I actually learned this watching General Hospital with my Granddaddy in the early 70s.. lol It has something to do with the tannins in the tea.
Ouch!!!
Ouch!! Hate sunburns, but I'm jealous of you getting back to the pool! Been thinking I should rejoin our Community Center with an indoor pool. Seeing your big smile when you were at the pool even if you did get a sunburn, has given me a bit more motivation. Thanks!!Hope you heal quickly!!
OUCH! Light hug & aloe Vera gel for healing!
Thanks for that Lynn
Does it hurt. I am fair skinned and I always burned. 😌. I don't go out in the sun. Too much hurt and peeling 😫 🤣
Not worth it if you get skin cancer.
I burn and peel. No tan for me.

Good for you... Dr.Lori
Interesting. What purpose or effect do you think the tile separation is for? I see this a lot with for instance two separate print's next to each other but separated when hung on the wall.
Have fun swimming 🏊♂️ ☺️
