GOOD MORNING!
Joe: I really like ice cream...if I have a choice, I try to get a lower fat variety like frozen yogurt. At the grocery store, I like Denali which is chocolate or vanilla with peanut butter cups and a chocolate swirl. I like butter pecan, too. So, with these I am getting fat from the nuts or chocolate. I like vanilla with caramel with nuts (like Baskin Robins).. I like those ice cream bars that have a layer of liquid caramel covered by chocolate. When I got a blizzard, I liked strawberries and pecans. When I got Ben & Jerry's (they learned to make ice cream at my university). I like New York Super Fudge Chunk (chocolate with different kinds of nuts and different kinds of fudge). They also had a cinnamon ice cream with oatmeal cookies and fudge chunks. Fortunately, I don't see these at the store anymore...I like sorbets like raspberry, mango, lemon, etc. Being fat free, they are not as satisfying. When I would buy those fat free ice cream sandwiches, I am never satisfied and end up eating all them within a couple of days. When I had Ben & Jerry's I could eat a quarter or a half a cup and be satisfied. I once attended a talk by a person who wrote a book about why French people eat chocolate and don't gain weight. He gave us each a square of dark Ghiradeli's (sp?) and told us to make it last an hour. For 6 months I did that. I would cut up my bonbons into teeny pieces...It is harder to do that with chocolate covered almonds...Oh, I also like mint chocolate chip......You got me started...
Pixel: I have been thinking about all that stair climbing you did. I live near a city that has these steep hills. Sometimes they have races where people run up and down the steps of the hill or do the steps of a tall cathedral...A family member did these races where you bike up and down these steep hills. I feel fear when I drive up some of these steep hills. Anyway, I did garage staircases again yesterday, but only 2 flights...
I was at 20.9 yesterday, but this am it was 20.1. I biked yesterday, did stairs and other knee exercises. Diet was okay except for a small sundae (I ate half and ate the rest 8 hours later) and some nutty cereal. I did not eat enough veggies yesterday...
PIxel, Soon2B: the virus is getting closer here. It's in some counties 2.5 hours from my home...I think there's been a delay here because the big city near me has no international airport and no seacoast...
Diana: Sometimes I lose after I eat big...I don't get it, but maybe my body gets in "starvation" mode and doesn't want to give up the weight. ...Just a rationale...
