good afternoon! 2 miles leslie Sansone before I left for work this morning. power walked and ran errands during my lunch break. will go for a power walk and run some errands in a few minutes.
Today is a better day. I did a workout and I DIED but I am slowly trying to switch that mental change.
I am also reading a book called "A Year of Positive Thoughts." For each day of the year, there is anything from a small quote to a paragraph. When I get a chance I will share today's paragraph - it was wonderful!!! Every time I open this book it always seems to be exactly what I need to hear!
Larry: That is wonderful that your doctor says you are healthy on this diet! Has your wife looked into low-carb alternatives, such as cloud bread, spaghetti squash? you can Google "low-carb alternative recipes" and there are lots of delicious, healthy options! I, too, am a carb addict. Best wishes
jendiet: Butternut squash is higher in carb than most vegetables, with 16g carb per cup. I bought it at the grocery store and I love butternut squash so I figured I would give it a try! I like spaghetti squash better.
Diana: I absolutely love your paragraph about "being a slave to our stomachs." That hit home for me. Thanks

Wonder if I can find an image of that and just put it on my home screen??? Emily would love to read your 'positive thoughts' if you are able to find the time to post them! ciecie every time you post that you have done Leslie Sansone my inner voice repeats 'walk walk walk' LOL granny look how far your health and endurance have come since the summer of 2017, I remember you just starting your walking and you could not go far nor fast...congratulations.

Okay so I finally have a moment to share today's "positive thoughts!"
Here it is:
-----
January 10 BELIEVE
be-lieve \ verb 1. Accept (something) as true; feel sure of the truth of.
--
You unconsciously create experiences that match what you believe about yourself and others. So ask yourself these questions often: "What do I believe about myself and my life? Is what I believe truly serving who I want to be in the world?"
Be mindful of what you accept as truth. Because you become what you believe, for better or worse.
good evening! power walked and ran errands during my lunch break. power walked and ran errands before supper tonight. will do 1 more mile leslie Sansone.
Nancylmrn The Xanthium Gum sure thickens. I am glad you warned me not to use much. The finished sauce has a slightly different texture than other thickeners.
Have you visited "Diet Doctor" web site? About 600 low carb recipes there. Getting ready to try a hot chocolate with Cacao powder and Stevia liquid. The Cacoa only has one net g carbs and the liquid Stevia is zero carb.
EmilyLarnder My DW stays away from any food that is remotely healthy and she will not eat any squash. Now if I can ever find low carb sugar free M&M Candies that taste good she will be all over that.
Jendiet I looked up the Carb Addict Diet on line and read about it. They say it reduces insulin in the body, I am not sure if it is good for her diabetes as she does not have enough insulin and has to take insulin injections twice a day.
GrannyNancy Yes it would be much easier if my DW was on board. It makes it a little easier to stay on my diet because I do 100% of the cooking in our home.
Larry - They do make sugar free candies (maybe not M&Ms, but Hershey bars, Reese's, mints), but they aren't exactly low carb. They might be better for her diabetes though. Good luck
Today is my early day and I didn't get enough sleep. I am thrilled to have maintained, even though I am carrying water weight from the peanuts. Lack of sleep will also cause a gain for me. DH and I really need to work on getting proper sleep. We felt really good when we were away in December and through the first of the year.
Last night: Full Body Stretch and exercises from the Dr.
This Morning: Oxycise
Calories for yesterday: 1515 +
Weigh In: 188.4
No Change
Have a Blessed day and a great start to your weekend!
Copied from Crosswalk Devotions for Dieters
January 11
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
When I get hungry, I get nervous and anxious. I find that I snap at people and have a very short temper. This is an indication that food is more than just a pleasure; it is an addiction. To kick an addiction requires restraint and peace. Jesus Christ promises blessed peace and rest to all who come to Him. It is important for us to rely on the gentle comfort of God when we face the trials of dieting. God knows what we are going through, and He rejoices when we turn to Him for peace of mind and heart. It is not vital that we understand how this peace can come to us. What is important is that we truly believe God will grant it.
Today's thought: In God, there is peace that is greater than the turmoil caused by our dieting!
