Rosinante Congratulations on the 4.7 lb loss. You are doing great!!!
Carol Sue When I cook eggs in the microwave, I start with 1 minute and add 30 sec and check until I get it the way I want it. I think you could make your menu and divide it up in the microwave muffin pan you have and even freeze them. I know when I started making the 1 Minute Flax Muffin that SB dieters use, they said you could make it a head of time and freeze them for the week. You might search for it on 3fc although I realize you probably aren't adding flax seed to it. But I could have sworn Atkins or SBD had a quiche you could make in muffin pans and freeze a weeks supply of them for those who are in too hurried to cook in the mornings. I'll see if I can find one for you.
P.Q. I bet your busy vacation will help you with weight loss. I know my 45 minutes on the bike has helped me. I think for me the exercise, moving more has made a difference for me.
I started working on cleaning out my closet and packing up things I want to give to AMVET when they come around in a little over a week is really doing it for me. I've got 3 bags of clothes and I just started going through my books to give away the ones I don't want. I am keeping all my books on diabetes and low carb.
I didn't get my 5 miles on the bike yesterday only because I was so tired I couldn't make the last 1/4 of mile. I had done 3 yesterday morning, but actually got busy cleaning and packing and forgot to do the other 2 miles. Last night around 10 pm, I decided to go ahead and do the last 2 miles because my back was hurting so badly and riding the bike helps ease the pain. I went as long as I could. I tried to do the 2 miles, but felt like I would pass out if I continued so I quit. I will add the 1/4 mile to one of my rides on it today although I a getting a lot of exercise with the cleaning... bending etc.
My calories today will be 1337 and carb 130 g. I ate a little more than I planned yesterday to keep going, but amazingly, I was down 1.4 lbs this morning. Still over what my ticker says, but if I can keep it going down, I will have a weight loss this month. 2 days on Metformin and so far so good. I think it actually curbs my appetite as I don't seem to want to snack all the time. When I eat, I am actually eating for energy. That is good.
P.Q. I don't remember when you leave for England, but in case I miss you leaving, enjoy.
Jacqui, Rennie and others
Y'all have a great holiday weekend.
