Bean and kale soup with a tbs of sour cream for both lunch and dinner, and there is still more. I'm the only one eating it.
That's only 829 cals. I'll have a snack.
My littlest buddy and I cruised on the mom bike for a short commute to grandma's and back. The sun and breeze is nice. My daughter said "That was awesome!" when we pulled back into the garage. (She's 3. lol)
Morning all! I had been avoiding the scale for a few days to get rid of my TWO days of over the calories, super high carb days. I hold so much water when I eat carbs. THis morning I decided to brave the scale, figuring it would be about the same as where I left off, but got a happy surprise of a nice drop on the scale of 1.5 pounds. Yay!
Yesterday I picked strawberries (10 pounds worth) so now I have to prep them. Breakfast will be almond/hazelnut pancakes with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Now that is LOW CARB and super yummy! Best? Besides the little guy, we all prefer nut flour pancakes to traditional pancakes.
Happy Saturday Everyone!

Hi All! Whew glad the week's over. On my way to the gym now to do some stationary biking, then yoga class, then a badminton party. Weird week in which I re-connected with my inner "feed me feed me feed me" voice. The same voice that got me to put on 12 lbs last go-round. It's a very persuasive voice that I honor as a survival mechanism. But I'll no longer respond to with autopilot eating. I got some good tips to deal with feeling cold a lot, too. Turn up the heat, dress warmly, EXERCISE, and don't eat for warmth. Scale up a whopping 6.5 lbs but clothes fitting fine. Settling in for the battle...
Last night I added on: Unwinding Muscle Tension from AM PM Yoga for Beginners
TTOM is messing with me again. This is day 3. Not sure what's going on. I am marking my calendar to keep up with things so I can discuss with the Dr. if needed. This is probably all part of the perimenopause/menopause thing.
Calories for yesterday: 1520 +
Weigh In: 166.2 (TTOM)
No Change
Hello all, beautiful day so far, 162.7 this morning, I was expecting 165 so there you go! Pizza and beer w/the in laws last night not to mention dessert...
Today so far took the little dog for a 3.2 mile walk, then gave him a bath, had some leftovers for lunch and plan on grilled chicken for dinner, not a bad weekend day. Planning on picking up some more flowers, I have a couple planters with nothing in them, maybe I'll put basil in one.
Ian you'll knock that off, a bit of TMI but i find that sometimes when I eat way off plan like that my body kind of rejects it...
Diana hope all is well! I've been keeping track, too, I was thinking the other day that I know very few women who have gone through a regular "change" it struck me how many women I know who've had hysterectomies. There's nobody to ask what it's like, weird, huh?!
I'm STILL 157 range...this morning 157.4. I seem to be sticking on the scale a little right now, but I try to remember that happens and then one day it will be lower all of a sudden. I guess I just want to see 155 really bad, before Vegas, so that any water gain afterwards will still keep me under 160.
We are going to ride to a place called Bon Vivant a little later for lunch. It's a very cool market style restaurant with the whole front of it opening on to the sidewalk. Very eclectic and swanky! Should be fun, and they have healthy stuff, too. Going to go shopping and buy an air popper today, first. NO MORE microwave popcorn as I've read it's very bad for you! Post food later! See ya!

Riding the littles to the park and back. One of my glass bread pans got broken so I might ride to a thrift store for a new one if I can pad my bike basket well enough...ooh, or take a back pack.
Yesterday was more active and less hungry, and today I had a whoosh, so all is good.

I think i'm stuck in a downward mood the combination of a horrible TOM about 3 weeks ago and then a whole month of major work stress and then getting terribly sick....ugh I've been sleeping well but STILL exhausted every single day...I haven't worked out in a week due to being so very sick and still having to work....I've been in one of those "heck with it" moods where I don't care what I eat and have been slacking on my food logs....I complete them but not right away...
I ran a few errands this morning and then sat around all day feeling tired and reading....this is NOT like me...I took Symbicort for two days prior because I was having issues breathing and my inhaler wasn't helping...I also took iron pills for a few days because sometimes I need those after a bad TOM....
i'm not sure how to get through the long days without eating over calories....I will be up at 5 a.m. daily after this weekend and not really slowing down until 9 p.m....*sigh* I have tried IF and it leads to binging and also low blood sugar....not quite sure what to do there...
but i'm still trying to figure out how to not be so exhausted...
I feel too full tonight. I ate too many veggies, of all things. At least it wasn't anything high calorie, but too much is still too much.
I have my Endo appointment in a couple of weeks. I am really curious about my thyroid since I haven't been able to lose back down. It's even a struggle to maintain. I take 237 mcg of Synthroid daily. It is so weird that my meds have been off since my Mom passed away. It had been regulated for years before that.
Syckgirlsfv Great job holding steady in the 150's!
CoolMom Sounds like you and the little one had a nice afternoon.
Tyla Great job on your day.
Berry Congrats on the 1.5 pounds.
Mars I can relate to being cold. I always struggle with this. Sometimes I will start my workout early at work just to warm up.
Kelijpa Is your TTOM doing weird stuff, too? I also don't know any women IRL dealing with perimenopause or menopause. They have also all had surgery.
Ian Good job on the 2 pounds.
Sonickel Good job on your day and your weigh in.
Alaskanlaughter Sending good thoughts your way. I hope you start feeling better soon.
