Hi all, long time no see... it's been a stressful week getting all the grades in. Wore the leo yesterday for virtual class and it fits well once it's on. Because of the way it's built it's kinda hard to get on and off so that's annoying. Makes me feel like a moose. But once it's on, it's good. Haven't been eating so well the last few days... have definitely reached for the desserts from the extra stress. And it's not been a good mental health week either. Hoping with some rest, things will get better.
Breakfast: oatmeal
Lunch: 1 slice avocado toast, banana
Snack: oat ball
Dinner: asparagus soup, 1/2 BBQ chicken quesadilla, strawberry mousse
Might have a small snack now, we'll see
Exercise: almost an hour biking on a bike path near my house
Teri, sounds like that is an improvement that your cats are fighting less now! I have a skinny cat who has hyperthyroidism. He gets medicine for it and should hopefully gain some weight back within the month.
USC4valpo, your exercise regime is inspiring and you're tracking your food intake so well. Way to go .
Princessroja, sounds like a rough week you had. Thinking about you and hope you can be refreshed.
Met my goals for yesterday. Took in 1410 calories. Want to shoot closer to 1200 for weight loss, though. I roasted some chick peas (garbanzo beans) yesterday. Great snack; never had those before! Just mixed them with some olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Should be good on salads too.
Today's goals:
NS Plan, 2 liters water, veggies, fiber, calcium, MAYBE the treadmill or lift weights, but may have the day off too; we'll see!

Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, 'Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, +Remove hence to yonder place;' and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.'
Too often we miss the point of the mustard seed. We think quantity of faith is the determining factor in getting our hearts' desires. Quantity has nothing to do with it. Jesus used the mustard seed to show that we all have at least that much faith, and if we will learn to employ it, we will see miraculous things happen in our lives. Because of Christ in our lives, nothing is impossible for us, including our diets.
Today's thought: If I can remove mountains, then I can remove pounds!
Hi, I feel for everyone going through stress. Work wise I have been busier than ever and the demands are constant, diverse and chaotic. People use the word fluid to describe chaos, but I am feeling headaches throughout the day. The exercise and getting outside help alleviate stress. Strength training has helped some, but the long walks are definitely therapeutic physically and mentally.
I lost 1.2 pounds, a decent weigh in!
good morning! happy mother's day to all here! usc, congrats on the loss! yangtzer, all of us binge every once in awhile. watched mass on ewtn this morning. will go for a power walk and run errands in a few minutes.
Rachel: Sometimes, I think, my cats are getting along better, but then my boy pounces on my girl, and my girl screams and pulls my boy's hair out...I am making an effort to play with my boy everyday. He really loves to play. My girl really loves to nest in my lap...
PrincessRoja: Your leotard sounds like some of my underwear that bunches up in the back. I need to work on being more flexible...Maybe the leotard will stretch more when it is old. I don't like when I am "stuck" with my clothes half on/half off...
I watched Downton Abbey (the movie) on HBO. If you like the series, you will like the movie.
I am just up 1.5 pounds. That makes me happy. I think, it will be harder to lose weight this month...but I have 20 more days.
I biked yesterday. Diet okay except for sundae, vanilla wafers.
No gardening yesterday. High was 40 degrees F. The snowflakes were really pretty. It is sunny today. Need to check the weather report. Yesterday, I punched holes in cups. I want to transplant my flower seedlings to bigger pots.
happy Mother’s to all the great moms out ther,
We all binge. My daughters made Mother’s Day brunch with quiche, cinnamon rolls, fruit, a chocolate covered strawberry. My wife and enjoy of pitcher of mimosas and we feel good. I will digest this and take a walk later in the day.
ciecie and Rachel, thanks for cheering me on. The Last dance episodes 7 and 8 are on tonight.
Happy Mothers day
Today is my family meal with Sister, her spouse, two brothers and my mom. So for this very special occasion I did it up right I think. Of course we will practice social distancing as best we can. (we really can in my house as long as everyone stays out of the kitchen but me) I made homemade pasta, homemade tomato sauce, homemade ff greek yogurt that was strained to resemble ricotta and put it all together to make lasagna. I also have made a loaf of artisan garlic bread that should be ready to come out of the oven soon. So if you follow ww plan I even calculated for one large serving of the lasagna it will be 7 ww points. whoop whoop, now the bread is another story. Oh and if I have a glass or two of wine...well there goes my day.
usc4alpo, what wonderful daughters you have!!! Teri I have never watched the downtown abby series but I hear it is very good. I even have a reusable grocery bag that I got at a wold market with the downtown abby picture, it is pretty cool Rachel, I love roasting chick peas, I will make them in my instant pot then roast them. I like to use chili lime seasoning on them. As a matter of fact I ate a bunch last night and finished off what I had. Guess I will need to make some more soon. Princess, I don't have a leotard like that but I do have some sports bras that are ridiculous to get on and off. One I had I just tossed it, it zipped up in the front...well trying to get the zipper started was more of a challenge than I wanted. yangtzer glad you are feeling much better.... Diana, nah you body loves you for eating pizza, I know this for a fact...my body thanks me every time. ciecie, since you have all those groceries now....whats for dinner at your place???
