Thank you Diana, for tending to this lovely garden of a thread. Thats the way I see you. As the gardner of the thread. So care-fully tending to it. i hope you do not mind me thinking of it that way.
Happy July, people !! |
Thanks for setting it up Diana; this place helps me get back on track even after diet disasters.
I lost 5 kg (11 lb) last month - here's hoping it will continue in July! |
Good Morning, Everyone! :wave:
Everyone Thank you! I appreciate you hanging out with me for another month. Last night I added on: Fat Free Yoga sections: Your Life is in Your Glands and Teapot Meditation Calories for yesterday: 1470 + :coffee: Weigh In: 166.2 (TTOM) Down: .4 Enjoy your day! |
So interesting. Yesterday was a carby day - I basically snacked throughout the day as I was cleaning the kitchen - skipping dinner since I was snacking. I had tortilla chips, berries with whipped cream, cherries, 2 ice cream sandwiches, watermelon and a tablespoon of peanut butter. A WEIRD day of eating. Calories for the day were 1100-1150.
Scale this morning? up 1.2 pounds. THAT is how sensitive I am to carbs. Holding water weight. So, today I stick to low carb to keep the cravings away and to drop the water weight! |
New month, yay!
Monday's Tracking: Target calories: 1500 Total Consumed: 1467 Breakfast: Coffee w/Splenda and half-n-half, 2 fried eggs, 1 whole wheat toast = 275 Lunch: Salad with shrimp, crumbled blue cheese, Italian dressing, veggies = 630 Snack: Walnuts = 120 Dinner: Leftover salmon, baked asparagus = 442 Exercise: 4 mile walk |
Still having trouble getting back on tack. I'm trying though. I'm experimenting with eating less calories in the day because I tend to eat more in the evening.
Yesterday's Calories: 1674 B - 3 Danish Cookies S - Fiber One Lemon Bar L - Chicken & Brown Rice Soup + String Cheese S - Beef & Cheese Stick + Sobe Lifewater Pacific Coconut D - McDonalds Bacon Habanero Ranch Burger (half bun removed) + McDonalds Small Fry S - 1 1/2 Starbucks Vanilla Scones S - Dark Chocolate w/ Chili Bar Exercise: 7 Minutes Swinging (-25) + Walked approximately 2 miles (-148) I'm getting my walking calories from Pacer. I sync with MFP, which I have set to sedentary, so it should be accurate. I probably burnt a few more calories walking yesterday than what Pacer recorded because it was 90 degrees and I was walking up & down hills at the park with my friend. |
I like your metaphor, flower123! This thread has been so helpful. When I was away on the cruise, thinking of this thread and everyone's comments about struggles, success, & slips kept me anchored (pun intended). Thanks, Diana & posters!
Yesterday was the official end of vacation re eating. Not much appetite. B whey shake and cofee L big salad & veggies with chicken breast, evoo D chicken breast, broccoli, S cantaloupe , coconut oil, chocolate whey shake calories 1050 No exercise except using stairs a work. Gotta work on that. |
Hello to all,
Diana and BBB thanks for the welcome back! BBB are you trying a new way of losing weight...I remember, in the past, you did a low carb...I'm just curious...I've been cheating with carbs for the past two months...the gains are quick and big...I am so sensitive to any extra carb. Yesterday was awesome as far as eating clean...I had three meals, no extra snacking. I kept to 5 strawberries for dessert and two SF fudgesicles. Hopefully today will be just as clean. Worked out the arms today along with 30 mins on the bike and some floor. DH recommended I do Soloflex every other day and free weights the following day...so that's the plan, for now. As always Diana, thanks for keeping this thread going...it always feels like home. Have a wonderful and healthy day! |
morning! holding a little water...158 this morning. Result of Saturday's dinner outing plus drinks. I don't mind - it's water and I'm getting it off!
B - belvita breakfast biscuits L - small amount leftover pineaplle fried rice / 3 small chicken wings / a few leftover steamed broccoli florets S - leftover kale salad / fresh cherries D - I'm thinking chicken fried chicken with mushroom gravy, and broccoli We will ride our bikes tonight...at least 15 miles. That should do it :D |
Good morning, all! No change in my weight.
My 15 bean soup is going in the crockpot and I suspect it will be my food for the next two days. Hello gas! lol it's really yummy and low cal though. |

I'm also doing intermittent fasting and that is working GREAT for me. With lower carb, I feel less hungry most of the day which then leaves room for a HUGE dinner. Like tonight's will be flank steak and a HUGE green salad with tomatoes, peppers, onion, avocado, almonds and feta cheese with olive oil and vinegar. Dinner will be about 800-900 calories, but I will only have 200-300 calories earlier in the day - all fat/protein. A problem I was running into last time was being hungry the early part of the day (too many carbs) and running out of calories by dinner time so that I either had to skip it or go over. Well, the best meal of the day in this house is dinner time AND we're social eaters, so it was just odd. This way I'm a full participant in the meal and it just is easier for me and for them. But I HEAR you with the carbs being the key to our undoing. That's when I started to totally derail. It takes a LOT of food to gain as fast as I did! |
Down 0.6lbs today to 168.2lbs. Calories will be about 1700.
