Yes, they do ...crazy huh ? It's awesome to use at home ...I buy it at Kroger, but they also have at Sams Club and Marsh I think.
Then you can just put all of the things they do into the salad mix and then you're good to go
Oh my goodness, didn't know, but now I do thank you You have made my day. Now to figure out which one here carries it. I'm seeing it here at Walmart . I'll have to check the next time I'm near a Kroger and I'll have my son check Sam's Club. Thanks again Checked on Sam's website they do have it. So I'll have to get some. thanks again
This week has been busy at work, between month end and harvest in full swing the day just flies by! Finallly caught up and all salesmen and managers are at a meeting his morning, so I get a little quiet time!
The birthday party, family and friends staying over and lunch out at the bridal expo took a little toll on my weight loss. But I got rid of the increase and am startng to lose again.
This week has been harder for me to stay OP. I haven't cheated. I haven't really had cravings, just kind of in a food slump. I get home from work, change clothes, go for my walk then it's like I don't want to think about making lunch and supper. I would love to just make a pb&j and call it a night. Or popcorn and wine. That is my favorite supper. BUT I haven't....just wanted to.
I think because this has been a slow week weight loss wise for me. I also recognised I was mentally struggling so I tried to mix things up a little bit. Used some different spices in my food. I made Kale chips for the first time Sunday night and then for a second time last night.
Sunday night I was on the phone with my daughter while cooking. To be completely honest I wasn't sure I was going to like kale chips. In fact I was pretty sure I wouldn't. So my thought was try to season the bejeezes out of them. As I said I was talking on the phone....well when they were done and I ate themI think I must have seasoned them 3 or 4 times. WAY too much salt. I ate them anyway. Which is probably some of the reason for my slowed weight loss. Last night's batch was much better.
Wednesday I broke down and bought one new pair of jeans. Everything I have is too big or too small. I have lots of shorts and capris that fir right now but it's October and the past couple mornings have been in the upper 30's or low 40's. NOT capri and sandal weather! Once I get another 10-12 pounds off I should have plenty of jeans!
I went through my closet last night and pulled out everything that is too big. Well most everything. I kept some of the sweatshirts. What is it about oversized sweatshirts that is just so....wonderful!!
I got a little panicky last night. I packed six of those cardboard grocery totes with clothes. Then I shoved them in the extra bedroom. Should I take them to Goodwill?? Should I hang on to them, "Just in case"? I feel like keeping them will make it to easy to let myself regain. I have lost weight before...and I have regained weight before. I have donated my clothes and had to rebuy larger sizes. I am kind of torn over what to do.
I am also realizing that for the rest of my life if I want to maintain a weight, I am going to have to mindful of what I eat every single day. I sure hope I can do that.
Carri I ready your comment about sugar and white carbs and feeling achey. My plan says those foods increase inflamation. So it makes total sense that you are feeling achey after eating sugar and white carbs.

Good job on getting back into the swing of things Did your daughter see anything at the expo that she liked?

I like the sound of a popcorn dinner

Love Kale chips but I eat them all at one time when I make them. I bought some from the store but they were made from rice flour so not as healthy.

I donated my too big clothes the first time I loss weight. The second time I kept them but they are still too big now, so I squeeze into what I can for now. Thanks on the tip of sugar making one feel achy. I will keep that in mind when I want to eat what I know good and well is not good for me at all.
Morning Ladies !!! I hope you all had a great weekend ...I did have a good one, although not 100% on plan, so that was a fail ...seems like since my bday I have one good day, one bad, one good day, one bad ...so really not losing, but not gaining horribly ...would like to ease my way into totally being back on track by end of this week.
Kate - yes, I definitely think that the sugar and carbs have caused me great inflammation ...feel so much better when not eating it ...like a whole new person. Sounds like you got a lot going on around you ...sometimes that's a good thing, especially when it's with family and you are making memories...I always think I'm gonna try and make kale chips and then I chicken out ...so besides them being too salty do you think you would like them normally ?
Kate and Rennie - I'm always scared to throw out the bigger clothes since eventually around the holidays I need them again ...that's so bad, haha
Morning Ladies …will this birthday stuff ever end ? So my birthday was on the 29th of Sept as you know, however dh’s parents want to take me out tonight for it …so we are …hey, I’m not gonna turn down a free meal and not having to cook haha …hoping not to eat too much…
Rennie – yeah I’ve been off for several days now, off and on …bad pattern to be in …here’s hoping both you and I can get back on track and stay there for a while.
Dcap – nice to see you again ! Glad you found us. Mmmmm sushi, I love it …have it a lot …love something so fresh …nice job on the exercise …that’s the part I’m not good at haha
Hi Linda and Kate.
I’m sure it’s gonna be another boring long day at work …I need to win the lottery
What ?????????? nobody else came on here after I did yesterday morning ? Where are you ladies ?? Linda ??? Suppose you're all just busy ...
I know even though a few of us are struggling to stay on plan right now that we can overcome this and make a push to stay OP during this upcoming holiday season and lose this weight !!
Decapulet, I think I have found a walking partner. I'm just waiting for her to contact me. You know that's my thing and if I can just get back to it I'll be real good I need to focus on consistency
I'm here Carri, I had one good day yesterday. Hoping to do the same today. Enjoy dinner and I'm with you ... I don't turn down free meals or the joy of not cleaning the kitchen
Morning Ladies ...Linda, where you been hon ? I hope we haven't lost our fearless leader, lol ...jump back in !! I haven't been OP as of late but I'm still coming around for some encouragement ...nice to know we all fall of the wagon weekly, hahahaha
Rennie - it helps so much to have a walking partner, usually dh and I walk together in the evening, if he isn't going then I'm not, so I need that partner to push me into it ...yes never turn down a free meal, lol
Tonight my parents are coming over to hang and eat ...I gotta rush home right after work to finish picking up some things around the house, maybe run the vaccuum real quick ...I want the illusion of clean not perfectly clean, lol
Well you all have a good day ...hope to see you all on here today posting
Carri, my husband use to walk with me then he started to lose too much weight. He's already tall and thin (with his Pepsi gut) but that's the only thing he needs to lose so new partner for walking it is. It is good to know we all fall down every now and then. I think mine is more one or two days on then one or two or more days off, smh. . Ha when my Mom comes I do the same thing
It is fall, so The Harvest Moster is in full swing for me. Work is busy. Days are shorter and weather is stil nice so I spend as much time outdoors as I can. I am sticking to my plan and am down 6 pounds since the first of the month!!
Carri- I was afraid I wouldn't like kale chips to start out with so I thought if I seasoned them enoughI would like them. I have made them 3 times since that first overly salty batch and I do like them. I have found over the years that MOST veggies that I thought I didn't like cooked, I actually really enjoy if I roast them with a little olive oil, garlic and salt.
Rennie~ I find walking parters to be both a blessing and a curse. If you can find one that pushes you it is great. I have had ones that if they aren't in the mood to walk they try to talk me out of walking. I also know when I walk with my girls it seems like once one of us is wearing out or something starts to ache a little we all start complaining and it makes the walk worse. I usually put my MP3 player on shuffle and head on down the road. One of our dogs has started going with, but I cannot put him on a leash. Normally he is a huge baby, as soon as you put him on a leash, he turns into Cujo. He merrily runs on ahead. IF there is a car coming I call him back and he will heel...just until the car passes then he runs ahead to lead the way.
Yesterday I was glad I hadn't gotten rid of all my too big clothes yet. Our dog got sprayed by a skunk. He is an outside dog, but still had to give him a bath. I dug through the totes of clothes and found some that were not as good and wore them. After I was done I just threw them away.
I have been doing really well this week! Glad my food fantasies from last week have gone away!
Had a good evening last night with my parents ...enjoyed dinner and then they gave me a gift card to Ulta for my birthday last month...Ulta is my favorite store on Earth, so I was happy, I'll be getting some more makeup this weekend, haha.
Rennie - I feel like I can get back on it full time in the next few days...I've just needed a break from it all ...
Do you guys ever watch My Big Fat Fabulous Life on TLC ? Well this week in one of her episodes she has a meltdown and is found in her car eating on a big tub of ice cream ...she was crying and she said off camera "In that moment, I just wanted to be a normal person who got to choose what she wanted to eat..." That really resonated with me because I always think that...like I just want to CHOOSE what I want to eat and what sounds good, not something I have to make myself eat because it's healthy ...don't know, I guess I need to get out of that frame of mind because it hasn't done me any good
Hi Kate - I am gonna try the kale chips ...and I agree with you, there are veggies I wouldn't have ever touched when I was younger that taste good to me now, I think it's in the way they are made ...before I would NEVER eat green beans ...but then one day dh sauteed them in a skillet , just cooking till still crisp and I actually liked them ...same with asparagus...weird how things change. CONGRATS on your weight loss for this month ...hope some of that rubs off on me ..,.haha ...you are doing a great job !!!
have a great day ladies ...if I don't hop back in here this weekend, have a great weekend, and don't worry, I'll be back on Monday.
Satine! I'm not great at the exercise thing either.
Love2b - exercise partners, always an interesting dilemma to me. I used to go with my now ex-husband, but he was very passive-competitive (if that makes any sense). I've since stayed away from it, but things are not great in general - AHHHH! but maybe what i need is a partner.
Here's my situation: I moved to a new city in late May to take a new job. My husband of 10 years told me he wanted a divorce out of the blue in July. He moved out in September. My kids are up and down about it. I've just being diagnosed with a long-standing illness and put on medication that can cause weight gain. I've been lazy, sad, confused, angry, happy and everything in between. I need to get my life back.
thank you 
You have made my day. Now to figure out which one here carries it. I'm seeing it here at Walmart 
. I'll have to check the next time I'm near a Kroger and I'll have my son check Sam's Club. Thanks again 
Enjoy dinner and I'm with you ... I don't turn down free meals or the joy of not cleaning the kitchen
