Thanks qtkitty. It was dinner or beer for me. And I was not going to give up beer for a diet, so dinner had to go. Else the beer would have been a deal-breaker and eventually broken my diet.
The raw mushroom open sandwich is simply one slice of low calorie bread toasted, with a lite mayo spread (instead of margarine) topped with sliced mushrooms that I have peeled but not cooked. Delicious. I eat two for breakfast most days.
B - Whole Grain Waffles w/ Light Syrup
S - Watermelon Oreos
L - Miracle Noodles w/ Tofu, Pesto, and Olive Oil
S - Popcorn + Cheese
D - Spring Mix Salad w/ Baked Chicken + Yellow Mustard + French Fries
S - Cookies & Cream Bites
Exercise: 50 Squats and 25 minutes on Treadmill at 2.5 mph (1 mile)
Spent the day shopping with mom today, so I had fast food for lunch and accidentally ate more than I thought. However, we were shopping and walking around for 6 hours. I included 3 hours at 2 mph in MFP. I guess I'll see the results tomorrow.
We just got home. It was a 3 hour drive each way to go look at the puppies. They are the cutest little things. It was so funny because DH would hold a puppy and it would start whining and squirming around. I would hold the same puppy and it would fall right to sleep. It was a fun day.

ETA: It looks like I maintained for another month. I want to lose back down to 150, but it hasn't happened, yet. I will be happy, that I at least maintained.
the entire fence is painted!! front, back, in all the nooks and crannies....DH and I and teenager and teenager's friend painted for SEVEN HOURS today with rollers and brushes....it looks amazing!! and it still could use a second coat but that will have to wait...the five gallons that we used was spendy and we'll need another five gallons or slightly less for a second coat...it was HOT, in the 70s, and despite sunblock I am yet again SUNBURNED badly - head, scalp, upper arms etc...it's supposed to rain here starting tomorrow and through the entire week so we HAD to get it done today...it's drying fast too which is nice...anyone that has me on facebook can see photos....
Diana they look like cuties! Exciting!! It's wise to work out what breed is going to suit your lifestyle before committing... too many people don't do the research! Glad you're feeling like you're ready to be a doggie mama again!! rawhideranch alaskanlaughter ouch! again! at least the fence is painted
Hi everyone else
Weighed this morning for 1st July 82.2kg (181lb) which is back to what I was before my slip ups last week so yay! Looking forward to a productive week weight loss wise! Happy July people
hi everyone, the visit with the in laws is done. whew. 4 days until vacation and I have a very long list of things to do before I can leave. i'm not doing a great job of logging but i'm instead focusing on trying to make good decisions and keep moving. that's the same focus i'm going to have during my trip. when I get back I can get back to logging everything. i'm keeping myself focused on the big picture - this is a bump in the road right now - not enough to derail all my efforts like it would have in the past.
Since we got home so late last night I wasn't able to do my yoga. I actually noticed it took me longer to fall asleep and I didn't seem to sleep as well. I'm not sure if that was from going to see the puppies or not doing the yoga. I find this very interesting. I didn't feel overly stimulated from the puppies. We also had a 3 hour drive back home, so that would have given me an opportunity to wind down. Again, very interesting. Maybe the yoga is more calming for me.
Well, my weigh in was not good this morning. I know the sodium in my dinner was higher than I normally have. Also, I didn't enough sleep last night. Today is a new day and a new month. A new opportunity to continue to work on things.
lilmisschattabox Thank you. DH and I really spent some time figuring this out for us. It seems the new breed will be a good fit for us. Something funny, DH does puppy duty, I don't! He can fall asleep any time, any where. Once I wake up, that's it for me. So based on that, he always does the night time duties. I am also hoping the new addition to our family will help me with my stress levels.
ETA: I didn't mention this, but something happened on Saturday. It had to do with the guy that was suppose to do the auction at my Mom's house. (dealing with people is a total PITA! ) It really upset me and I started to flare up again from the angioedema. My gain this weekend could also be from this, but anyways. I am hoping the new dog will help me will all of this crazy stress that I keep internalizing. I could feel myself calming down and feeling joy when I was holding the puppies yesterday. I could even feel my heart swell when the mama dog (Chloe) met us at the door.
IanG I saw you post about your knees being sore. You might want to do the 7 minute knee workout that I posted. I know it has helped a lot of people on another forum, where I am a member. It will keep your knees strong, since it works the surrounding muscles.
Mom made a special dinner for me to share with them. Her idea of low sodium low fat is WAY different then mine. So way puffy this morning. I was wanting my watermelon sooo bad this morning, because I needed the hydration.
You know how sometimes something isn't really big news, but to you it is??
Well today my scale reads 144.5!! I know that is only a mere half pound off the 145 I had been weighing the last two week of the month BUT it's a new low and it mentally/visually shows me that I AM making real progress.
Ate at maintenance calories yesterday, but already losing some of the water weight. Lost only .4 lbs total in June, but not entirely upset over it; going to get to goal even if it is .4 lbs at a time.
novangel - When I get around 138 I feel the same way. I guess I am going to have to get through this stage, literally, by ounces until I get used to it. (this past month I only lost .4 lbs) At least the scale is going down.
Breakfast: 2 open raw mushroom sandwiches on low calorie bread with light mayo. Coffee, milk no sugar.
Lunch: Salad with chicken, egg, lettuce, tomato, corn, carrot, red onion, mushroom, cous cous, hummus, and olives. Delish.
Dinner: Will drink beer
Don't count calories. Can't count.
Exercise: Knee getting better but no running today. Walked 2.38 miles to/from work. Will do 1 hour lifting weights in the gym. Am playing squash tonight so I hope the knee is fully fixed by then!
