baseball & bean soup November 14, 2008
thank you so much chanel, for the comment. I wish there was a way i could know how to find you. leave me your blog address or 3fc profile address. It sucks that when someone leaves a comment, it doesn’t automatically give me their blog link. from now on i am posting my blog address on all the comments i leave
I was so tired today!! yesterday was exhausting!!! We moved my sister all day long! very good work out, but very hard. I am sore all over! my DH hurt himself moving a huge desk type thing, ugh….. moving sucks the big one. needless to say i didn’t go to the gym yesterday, but i’m sure i burnt more calories than usual. I also ate real good too. so, today it was like I had to kick my self in the ass just to get out the door to go exercise. I did it tho :) I also had another good day with my food . I am a little bummed about my sis being farther away from me, but i just have to get over it. she is still only 45 minutes away.
my middle child had a base ball game tonight, and they kicked butt!!! I am not competative, but he is happier when his team wins, so of course that makes me happy. There is a very sweet lady i talk to at his games who is on medifast. she has lost 20lbs so far. she know’s i am on a plan to lose weight too. we discuss it occassionally. well, the past couple games, i’ve noticed that she is eating stuff from the concession stand. my DH ordered fries tuesday night and didn’t want them all. Can you believe that she ate the rest of his fries!!! I was sort of shocked. Mainly because she doesn’t know us all that well, and for her to eat his left over fries just kinda threw me back a bit. plus she had some donuts he brought the other night too (yes, dh has some food issues of his own, lol). now….. I am not one to care about what other people eat, and I dont want to butt in where i have no business being, but I am concerned. she is a very nice and beautiful girl. It makes me sad to think she has given up, or quit her plan. she is obviously not trying to hide it from me, so i dont know if i should bring it up and show my concern, or just ignore it. so far, i’ve just ignored it….. it is not really my business. I just feel bad for her if she has fallen off track. Then again, maybe she is just having a bad week. would any of you say something to her? I just wouldn’t want her to think i was judging her. but, i would like to give her more inspiration to continue. idk…..
Today i made this awesome tuscan white bean soup. I got the recipe off of myrecipes.com under the cooking light section. probably the best soup ive ever made personally. I have made a few other dishes from this site and they’ve all been very good. if anyone wants some good ideas for light recipes, that is a good place to look. DH liked it too, which is a plus! good night all
B- fruit smoothie
S- celery and carrots with home made humous
L- lean cuisine grilled chicken caesar bowl
S- danactive
D- white bean soup
S- at the game, some popcorn
S- after the game one more small bowl of white bean soup, and a slim a bear ice cream bar (100 cal)
over all it is within my calorie range.
Just casually ask her how she’s doing with her diet since it seems like the two of you have discussed dieting before. It’s a sensitive topic for some people. Based on her response, you’ll probably be able to tell if she wants to talk more about it or not. For me, it’s always helpful to talk to people and get support on my diet. But if she was just having one bad day…well we’ve all had those before
Prompt her but let her lead the conversation.
Hello,
my name is Joy aka (butterfly emerging soon). To be honest I would not say anything to this woman. I mean if she were family , or a very close friend sho you could be open with I would say yes. Your saying something to her will only humiliate her. Maybe you could help by just chatting with her, get to know her, show her by example (not words) how to eat there, talk about your struggles. If she opens up , listen and only give advice if asked. Just my opinion.
That bean soup sounds really delish!
Keep up the good work.
Joy

YUMMY! That soup sounds wonderful! You need to post the recipe friend!! HUGZ
Hi hveeck,
Glad you are doing so well with your weight loss plan. If it were me, i would follow duckie’s advice. Just ask “are you still doing the medifast?” & a follow up “is it hard to stay on the medifast plan?” But that’s me, you do what feels right for you.

I’d not say a single word to her about her being on or off her eating plan. I get very offended when people try to be “helpful”…I can tell you just want to help and the tone of your blog entry shows that you are a very caring person but mentioning it to her might be very hurtful. It’s big hearted of you to notice and to care. I’d just be friendly and leave it at that. I agree, it is VERY odd though that she ate the rest of your husbands fries. I could see if she was family or a very very good friend.
