good evening! 2 miles leslie Sansone before I left for work this morning. power walked and ran errands during my lunch break. power walked and ran errands after I got home. will have supper in a few minutes. then i'll go for another power walk.
I made a stir fry of broccoli slaw and ground turkey with ginger, red pepper flakes, white wine vinegar, green onions, garlic, salt, pepper, sesame oil and topped with a little light mayo. SO good! almost the same as the crack slaw I made a few nights ago but with broccoli slaw instead of cabbage, I also used olive oil to fry the slaw instead of butter.
So tired - going to go lay down and watch tv in bed for an hour and then it's lights out. Good night everyone!!!

Psalm 37:40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Beth thought the program would never end. It had taken her years to control her weight, and it was still hard to be around scrumptious food for very long without overindulging. All through the evening, heavenly plates of food moved around the room. It was all Beth could do to resist. Whenever the temptation arose, she closed her eyes and quietly prayed to God for strength. It seemed like an eternity, but the evening finally ended, and she had somehow made it through. With a sigh of relief, she said a quick prayer of thanks as she walked to her car.
The Dr. office just called me and I don't have H pylori, which I'm glad about. I spoke with the nurse and the Dr. and they don't have a specific test for tannins. But I can get food tested again for the specific foods that I am concerned about that are high in tannins. It's all just so frustrating. I'm glad there's "nothing wrong" but there's still something wrong and I wish I knew what it was.
Oh Diana I feel your frustration! this journey of you trying to find the solution to a problem you know it is there
WI down 167.0 But I had a light dinner last night....is that the clue for me? Eat light in the evening and the bulk of my calories mid day? dunno?
Syck you are making me hungry and it is only 6am my time...time to look at some broccoli slaw on my end I keep all the other staples in my house
ciecie have a great day with your walks! I forgot to put my fitbit on my shoe yesterday for the gym and so my recorded steps were under 10,000 when normally I have 11,000+
Jen good news the gym has the A/C working so last night w/o was pretty pleasant heat wise but 'leg' day is brutal
Hello all!
I was going to say good morning, but it's almost 1:30 in the afternoon.
teleworking messes up my routine, sometimes
141.3 on my scale this morning, 145.0 at WW last night
I was all proud of myself because I weighed in for the first time without taking my shoes off, like I'm so normal, until I got home and weighed my shoes I was up 0.8 so had to see how much my shoes weighed, 13 oz. so about 0.8. My WW goal is 150 with a doctor's note, I've been kind of shooting for 143 which is the top of normal for my height, but seem to be able to maintain happily at this weight.
I kind of took my measurements, not really, but since I've been getting a lot of comments about looking skinny or being skinny, I'm kind of getting a little bit of a complex...I just measured my waist and hips, my waist is about 31, maybe 30 1/2 my hips like 39 1/2 I think, so my hips haven't been below 40 for years, so kind of surprised at that. Anyway, enough about me, things are good here, overcast and not hot, going to check out the garden soon. I think I'll cut some garlic scapes before they go to seed.
GrannyNancy It is a challenge for me to maintain, I've always been able to lose the weight and then gain it back, this is the first time maintaining for 6 months I'm pretty sure. I definitely need external accountability and since WW is now free for me I plan to keep going. It's kind of my therapy or counseling I guess. I'm lucky to have a great group and great leader at our meeting.
Nancy I think you're doing great. I'm a good inch and a half shorter than you. I'm supposed to be a lot lower number on the scale by conventional standards, but have come to accept that this weight is healthy for me. I'd just like to continue to tone up, you know, flatter belly, don't we always want that. Anyway, so I'm doing this 30 day fitness challenge and have found some exercises that I like and some not so much, so I'm going to continue with some of them when this is over. I'm going to do it again with a different grouping of exercises and see if there are others that I like. Maybe add in some weights.
I've been using that Habitica app that Kayly (I think that's how you spell her name) recommended. It's fun and makes me think about doing stuff like flossing and drinking my water, you earn coins and can buy stuff with them for your little avatar.
Diana I feel for you, it's hard when they give you the diagnosis that you must have this because nothing else is coming up in the tests. Love the devotions, thanks for sharing them.
Hi Ciecie, JenDiet, Sickgirlsfv, and everyone else I am forgetting at the moment, I wish you all the best
Diana, I pray you get relief since you are not getting answers.
ciecie woot on the 2 miles
keli, great job, you are so little. My waist at belly button is about 30" at 140. Where I long to be again. You are curvy hipped. Yes flat belly. that's why I want to master planks..
nancy, we all have a food niche, hope you find it. Great job on another lb down.
me...I stay up late building a shelve, eat 500 calories below normal, and wake up .6 up...smh
still working it though...
been helping friend load heavy stuff like couch and take to dump out in heat....scary hot!!!
Lost my tracker again, but found when I got home. Fell off when I took rack off van and carried it to the side of garage...I glued it this time...I'll worry about changing battery when it's time. The heat is expanding the plastic watch part and it's falling out...
popping in real quick because I have to get to the gym!
breakfast - 2 ounces deli chicken breast, 1 ounce of baby swiss
snack - handful of mixed nuts
lunch - salad from Chop Stop (romaine, spinach, sunflower seeds, chicken , bell pepper, cucumber, feta, cilantro, and cilantro lime dressing)
dinner TBD as I need to get to the gym before I decide I don't want to!
Thank you for all the support. It means a lot to me. Before my Mom passed away, she blamed all of my reactions on stress. She would say, "you've got to get to where you don't give a sh?t about anything and you will probably get better". Somewhere down the line, Mama is probably right. I'm thinking the tannins triggered the angioedema. Meaning I had angioedema from a food allergy. Nothing was apparent in the blood work because I had already eliminated the tannins, especially the cinnamon, turmeric, and tea. When I go for the food testing, I need to be off all antihistamines for about 2 weeks. I need to plan this for sometime in July. My thoughts are to print out a tannin list and then circle the foods that I am curious about and would want to eat. There's no reason to test for foods I don't want to eat. I think that would be the easiest way to deal with it. Now, I am going to be up a creek if I don't react to anything. That's when Mama's theory will come into play. Anyways, hopefully I will get something figured out. I am grateful that I don't have that H pylori infection.

My workout for the day was doing my month end cleaning. My office is air conditioned and very cool but the shop is not. My sweat was sweating while cleaning the bathrooms. LOL It took a lot out of me. I am grateful for the a/c in my office and house right now with the heat indexes being 110.
Syk, sounds like you are making low carb interesting
Diana, sounds like a plan
I'm tired. I ate about 2000 calories today...mostly due to gatorade and unplanned meals...hope I don't see gain, tracker said I ate equally what I burned...wI'll see
good night ladies! power walked and ran an errand on the way to supper tonight. power walked home. my fitness goals for today have been attained. i'll be shutting down in a few minutes to go to bed.
thanks for asking!
