Hearts and Flowers

P is cooking me Valentine's dinner this evening, so I have the challenge of being low cal and high nutrition before I head off to London. I also have the challenge of finding him a late, non-tacky, non-gushy, Valentines gift. The food is way easier!

I baked what I suppose is an eggwhite "tatta" in the oven yesterday with 250g spinach (raw weight) packed inside - 29g of protein, and 50% approx of vits and minerals, and 207 calories. I just ate it for breakfast with a side of blueberries and almonds and I AM STUFFED. Interesting experience, but might be better left for a dinner when it's hot and fresh. Cold, it was a bit... bouncy.

I actually went over 1100 cals in food yesterday! Plus 4oz Shiraz, not counted... I wonder which one is making me feel lethargic this morning, or gave me the nightmares about mushrooms. :-)

Hi Sara,
How do you copy and paste your COM info?

Sara said...

I open the COM report and switch it to "text" from "html". Then ctrl-a to select, or presumably right-click, select all, and then copy and paste the whole lot into the Blogger post, which is in Compose mode, I think (need to check that.. will post back if not!)

Sara said...

... and having checked, the Blogger post is in the EDIT HTML mode, not the Compose mode. Does that make sense?

Okay, the Blogger part I get. What I don't get is the first step. How do I switch from text to html-- in COM?

Once you have everything entered into the COM, make a report for the day. then look at the top of the report window and you'll see the HTML check button..Uncheck it and your report will appear as text that you can then select it all, copy and then paste into your new post
