I gained 2 lbs this week. I do not think that is muscle. I am going to assume this is do to me finally getting rid of my smooth move tea and my colon filling back up. Still...not happy. Andy didn't believe I had gone up either. So I have gone up 2.6 lbs in the last 2 weeks. I am giving it 1 week and then if I still haven't gone down I am going to eliminate wheat and dairy like the article Sarah C. posted recommended. I don't really like dairy...I have only been consuming it to increase my protein intake lately.
Anyways....
I baked a lot again :)
I made....Sushi pizza (southwest style)
My changes:
I used sushi rice instead of brown rice (I have a lot of rice to use up) and added flax seed, chia seed and sesame seed and cooked in my rice cooker. I used the rice vinegar and added a splash of stevia (u are normally supposed to add sugar to sushi rice).
Then for the first layer instead of cucumbers I made kind of a salsa (Andy hates cucumbers so I have to sneak them in)...I used:
-1 chopped carrot
-1 chopped cucumber
-handful of mushrooms chopped
-handful of cilantro chopped
-2 green onions chopped
-1 tbsp ginger
Placed in a blender or food processor and chopped finely
Scooped this layer into the bottom of a square 8x8 dish
The next layer I used fake crab instead of the vegan salmon
then the rest is the same!
I also made oatmeal wheat bread again :)
I made more protein waffles and scrambled tofu for the week/next couple days.
Then I made the three treats Sarah posted :)
I made the raspberry truffles....word of advice use a small small dish for the chocolate so you don't lose it all in surface area....
I made the raspberry fudge brownies 1 serving is super small.
And I adapted the Chocolate crinkle cookies
my changes:
I used 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar
I used 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup olive oil
I added 1/4 cup applesauce
I used egg whites instead of eggs
I used 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp almond extract
I used 1 cup oat flour, 1 cup almond meal, and 1/2 cup vital whet gluten
I only got 23 cookies...I couldn't get the dough to become more solid so I didn't roll them into balls...I baked them like normal cookies with powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

The southwest sushi pizza sounds great! I love the changes you made and must give it a try that way. Did you snap a pic by chance?
Love all the baking! I don't think I could have all those baked goods in my house and not eat too much of them. ;)
This may sound a little stalkerish, but where do you live? I used to be in love with this soy milk (8th continent light original), but the Walmart out here stopped carrying the light original. Anyway, if you can find it, it's pretty good and creamier than skim milk with only 50 calories per cup. I, for one, could never give up dairy but I'm also a vegetarian (and I'm addicted to yogurt).
Funny story, I actually thought of you when I was in the chem lab the other day. My grad student looked at me and said "how much sodium bisulfite did you use to quench it?!" and I said "ummmmm...." because, of course, being me, I didn't bother to measure. He cut off my ummmm with "you looked up the solubility, right?! It's a 1:1 quench." Of course, I just nodded and said "right" even though that was completely not right. Out of nowhere the thought crossed my mind that if you had been there you would have bothered to tell me that. :D
Sorry I just realized that sounded like a very extraneous ramble
