Sigh, yesterday was not great day for me, I ate bread, bread, and more bread as lunch/dinner -- what a terrible idea. And that's why I don't generally keep rye bread in the house.
Yesterday:
B: iced coffee, ezekiel toast with natural pb, natural applesauce
L/D: toasted rye bread with daiya cheese, onion, and vegenaise on top (broiled til it was all melty and irresistible)
Let's hope I manage better today.
Today:
B: Iced coffee, grapefruit
L: (planned) black bean burrito in all its glory
D: (planned) split pea soup and giant salad of goodies with light balsamic dressing
I find it so astonishing how at 45 I am yet again trying to learn behaviours that others take for granted. I am just glad I have managed to drill the importance of eating properly into my kids.
Ditto for me, at 46. It does seem funny to not have this all sorted at this point in life. But at least we're working on it, I could still be living in denial!
Aw Cattails thanks It's the texture of the sesame seeds that crunching throws me off, I don't eat strawberries for the same reason. Weird I know
Leeh eggs are a hit or miss with me also. I wonder why that is? **just figured out (because when I belch, I can taste them over and over ) I love cereal but if any of you know me from pass years, I have a horrible issue with frosted flakes and corn pops. They set me off like you wouldn't believe and it is all down hill from there. LOL on learned behaviours … I think we all live and learn
Thanks Heidi sorry about the stress, hoping for better
Sum, I'm following you faithfully the last few days on the green tea in the morning. So far so good I want a cup of coffee but sometimes it makes my stomach queasy
weight stayed the same this morning 177.6 … 175 is never gonna show up unless I hit the gym.
B ~ low sodium chicken broth and green tea
L ~ egg salad, water
S ~ pistachios
B: cappuccino, 1/2 of a pear
S: persimmon
L: salad of arugula, tomato, red pepper, broccoli, scoop of black bean spread; bowl of pumpkin Anasazi bean stew
Michelle I'm sorry I updated from page 9 and didn't read this one. I'm sorry about the bread monster. But that's me also that's why I don't touch it at all because I have no discipline unless it that healthy bread
Rennie -- thanks! I'm right there with you regarding the lack of bread discipline. If I had made that same item on top of ezekiel bread I would have eaten a reasonable amount instead of the bread fest I ended up with.
I'm not sure how many times I'm going to have to learn this lesson. Many, many times apparently.
Michelle I wonder if the discipline comes with the healthy stuff because it is a better filler or just isn't as good. I know it just isn't as good so that wasn't smart to say but why can I only eat a slice or two of that and be done? But I can make white toast and eat 6 slices or pb&j and eat 3 sandwiches (at least I use to be able to do that) I don't know if I could now or not without feeling sick. I guess I may have grown up a little,
B ~ low sodium chicken broth and green tea
L ~ egg salad, Jif natural peanut butter, water
S ~ pistachios, ham, Colby Jack stick
D ~ chocolate protein shake made with water, green tea
I remember years ago when my mom gave me a bread maker for Christmas - omg, did I make bread! It was best right out of the machine, and I ate and ate until I eventually noticed how much weight I'd put on and put the thing away. Bread is a real pothole for a lot of us!
Rennie, if you don't like the texture of sesame seeds (and strawberry seeds!), you probably won't like chia. No worries, we all have our particularities, thank goodness there are so many foods to choose from.
Today wasn't the greatest eating day for me - DH brought in takeout food and then took me out to dinner later. Oh well, tomorrow's another day - oops, tomorrow is my eldest DS's birthday and there will be cake!
B: yogurt with chia, banana and dried cherries, coffee
L: chicken chow mein, kung pau veggies
S: banana, coffee
D: chips and salsa, 1/2 a tamale, one soft carnitas taco, a few bites of chicken enchilada, a little rice and refried beans
S: one ounce dark chocolate, coffee
I have to get ready to go, but I am so excited I had to quickly post!
191.2 Even if I have a stall for a bit, I know I am going to make it to the 180s for Christmas Eve.
I am up today. I didn't drink enough water yesterday and I got into the vanilla fudge I had made (this is me being stupid- don't make it if you can't leave it alone) the fudge then set off a decision to eat too many potatoes at supper. Now I am "renewed" this morning and vowing to be good. It will be a better day. I am a bit on a downer because I let something work related fester and I tend to self-destruct.
Deep breath and reboot.
Have a good day, everyone
envelope, awesome job!! Your goal is within reach!
leeh new day today; glad to hear you are shaking it off and moving on...
catTails happy birthday to your son!
Here, I buckled down and stayed out of the kitchen yesterday. Weight dropped; 157.5 this AM. Happy for that! On a lark, I did a little surfing last night, which surprisingly brought my attn to something that brought on stress (happy stuff, but still stress), but my will to stay out of the kitchen remained. So that was good!

I admit my US geography isn't great but surfing and Pittsburgh don't compute. It is freezing here- like brutal deep freeze people die kind of freezing.
leeh ahhh, good old WEB surfing... Are you in the 'burgh too? Awfully bitter this AM. Felt bad sending my son to the bus at 6:35... The next one is getting driven at 7:45, since he needs to bring his cello to school.
