I am doing well. I am still struggling with my weight loss journey. I have been not exercising. I still have been trying to move more around the house. I know I need to start again. I had to cancel my membership to the Y which was sad. I really liked going but can not afford it right now. I am hoping I will be able to during winter time. It is harder to get ouside during that time.
My eating is okay. I need to cut donw on the portion sizeds, which I am working on it.
How is eveyone else doing?
I do not rememeber who but someone put up a recipe for a fruit cookie. I think it might have been brenda. I would like that recipe if you would not mind posting it again.
Okay I have to go get ready for work.
Talk to you all soon

I think this is it. Let me know if it's the one:
1/2 C dried apricots, cut up. 1/2 C golden raisins, 1/2 C dates, cut up. 6 oz. orange juice concentrate, 1 1/2 C rolled oats (large flake), 1 C Whole Wheat flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 egg slightly beaten, 1/4 C Sesame Seeds, 1/2 C Canola or Safflower Oil (I used less, and will substitue part next time with apple sauce or pureed prunes.) Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Allspice and Cloves (to taste). (I used roughly 1/2 tsp., 1/4 tsp. of first two spices, and less of the last two.)
In a small saucepan, combine apricots, raisins, dates, spices & OJ. Simmer over low heat for 10 min. Cool. Combine oats, flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the egg and oil, mix until well blended. Stir in the cooled fruit and seeds. Preheat oven to 350. Drop the batter spoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheet. flatten to 1/4" thickness. Bake for 12 - 15 min. Cool on rack and store in airtight container.
