Hi Red Team
I had a great day today, this morning we went to the apple orchard and picked apples off the tree. I have a bushel of yummy fresh jonathan and yellow delicious apples that will last me into the winter. I also got 3 kinds of squash, fresh apple cider, and some cinnamon flavored honey. All locally grown. This afternoon I took DD's friend home and was able to stop at the cemetary and visit mom. I hadn't been there in a while and it was so beautiful there with the trees starting to change color and the corn about ready to pick (it's a rural family cemetary) Then finished my day by going to evening Mass. It was just a perfect fall day.
Rainbow Smiles- The paint color is called burnished clay, it's a light gray in the blue spectrum, and the trim is going to be pearl white.
I hope everyone has a great weigh in, I'm down 3 lbs this week, I hope I can keep it up, I have a goal to get below 220 by Jan 1st, only 13 lbs to go!
Hi red team, it sounds like everyone is having a great week! Keep it up!
I have stayed the same this week.. since it's not a gain, I'll take it! I just started a new job and although I'll only be working a couple of days a week, I had to do training so I had minimal exercise time. I only got to work out twice! My eating was ok though which is probably why I managed to avoid a gain.
Does anyone have any advice on what to do if you don't like vegetables? I really can't stand most of them! I'm okay with raw carrot, celery, lettuce and cucumber but I really don't like any others. It wouldn't be so bad but I'm starting to get bored! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Checking in at 210.4 -- that's actually a gain -- for some reason I had this whoosh to 209 last Sunday and an almost immediate gain -- so I actually feel as if the 210 is a loss if that makse sense. I was hanging in the 212-214 range for over a month, so hopefully I'm on my way to a downward trend here. On my way to the grocery store to start the week off right!
I'm sorry red team -- I've had some sodium/water retention issues this week and I'm up 3.6lbs, I thought it would have been gone by today. I can guarantee you it's not from calories and I'll be drinking water and eating asparagus like crazy this week to make sure it's gone again by next week! I hope you guys fared better than I did.
I pulled my huge loss like I said I would. WOOHOO! I don't think I've ever lost so much in one week. I'm working my butt off with this new lifestyle change. I'm feeling great too! I also lost 14 inches on top of the 18.2lbs from this past week.
Hi Red Team
Hye Aseret, I saw your post in not likeing vegesand since I'm the master ofhiding veges in food let me give you some hints. First is my famous squash burgers, initially made and given to 2 teen boys when I was short of hamburger. They didn't know the difference. grate or grind a zuccini or other summer squash and mix well with a pound of hamburger. I sometimes throw in an egg for a binder , then make patties and cook like usual, they are so much moister than regular hamburgers and you cannot taste the squash. Next I've put zuccini into about anything, it's great in brownies, carrot cake ( very moist and doesn't need frosting.) You can aso puree any type of vege and add it to soups, gravy, or anything you you would use liquids for. I'm not a big fan of mashed cauliflower, but that's just because I like mine barely cooked, but it is a substitute for potatos, if you want to you could mix 1/2 with potatos to get the potato taste. Also have you tried your veges raw or barely cooked, I don't like my veges cooked too much, I prefer the crunch.
I hope I've given you an idea of things you can do to change the taste of veges, you can also try different spices to hide the tast, like curried veges, or with nutmeg or other strong spice. Just ry something new and you might find veges are your new best friend.
Nope didn't go to the ranch. I've been researching a different lifestyle change and although its controversial it was discussed on Dr. Oz. So I'm doing it and 10 days in now and doing phenominal!
