Hi Ladies

Wasn't feeling well this morning,so I slept in again. Don't know what it is,just that I caught it from Leo. Its more like a mild flu and I have some of the symptoms .Hope it gone,by the time we head down to NY for our Christmas holiday.

Leo went to the doctor yesterday for a physical and the results come in this morn and all is fine.

I'm finding something strange about lowering carbs. & I losing nicely.I used to watch strictly not having more that 45 carbs a day w/o losing or stalling month after month.Than I said thats it,no more low carbing for me,and I notice that the scale was going downward.I'm now add back grain carbs like oatmeal, bread, starchy veggies,burritos & nachos on menu below and its not effecting my weight. I'm tracking my menu on fitday and the grams of carbs are reading well over 100 grams. Maybe I don't have to watch them so closely like I had to before. I'm now counting calories instead.

************************************************** **********

B-1/2 c hot oatmeal.1c soy milk

D-Bake Bean Burrito 6 nachos Mex-stir fry

Supper- Balsamic Tomato Mozz salad

96 oz water-----------------------------exercise on the other sticky

************************************************** ***********

Laura-Your menu look great.I like to find different menu also,always like variety.




mothermavis-Sorry about your Gramp's being in the hospital,hope everything will be ok especially during the holidays.Congrats on your weight loss, its alway nice to move that ticker down.


AUD-Sorry about your eating bout. Unfamiliar environments usually cause eating binges.


Have a great day

Hugs BB

Meh..I had a work function to go to tonight, planning my meals today was a little challenging, since I didn't know what they would be serving:

B: 2 oz smoked salmon with strawberry cream cheese
S: nuts...
L: Low-carb bar and 3 slices of prov. cheese
D: Slice prime rib, 2 shrimp, green beans, a little stuffing and 1 bite of chocolate mousse cake.

I def had more carbs today - but still well-controlled, considering. My perspective has changed. I looked at the slice of cake/mousse in front of me and thought "that's atleast an hour on the ellip., def. not worth it".

So I just took a taste!

Right on plan yesterday!!
Today
B pretty much every work day is the same Light & fit yogurt w coffee and sf creamer
L Big salad w grilled chicken
D maybe taco salad minus the shell of course- lettuce, seasoned beef, tomatoes, peppers, cheese and sour cream w hot sauce
snack - the SF Fudge bar
water water everywhere, at least 3.5L

Hi Ladies

We're having a windy blustery day again,but this time the winds are howling.

With all thats on my mind I forgot to W-I this morning.Will do it tomorrow.

So,lets get back to dieting.

I'm now on a calorie counting board and they are doing the ZIG ZAGGING THE CALORIES from one day to another. They say it can work and any phase or calorie counting diet. This it what I found,zig-zagging has a few benefits. First, it keeps the body from getting too used to any one calorie level so It stops plateauing. And Second even better, having those 2 higher calorie days in there allows to plan for parties, dinners out, or simply days when you want to splurge a little and not feel so much like your dieting.

So I'm thinking if it works for calories Why can't it work with carbs?? Going to try and see if it works.
