Epixi, I could use a wagon. One with bars so I can't escape.
Lisa, thank you for thinking of me. I have been feeling a little (self-inflicted) left out. I'm here. I still have to get batteries in my scale. Procrastination! I mowed 75% of the front yard today. It took 4 rounds followed by 1 litre of water. It's raining now so I won't be finishing tomorrow. This week I need to get on track with my food intake. Not necessarily counting everything, but more keeping it simple. Breakfast without after snacks. Lunch without ice cream for dessert. Dinner with vegetables. WATER, WATER, WATER! |

I have to get my stuff together and get back to a schedule.
7 am wake up (wish it was earlier) meds 7:30 second round of pills (supplements) 8 am now I am allowed breakfast which must contain some fat for taking my last supplement 9 am I start whatever I have to start, be it outdoor work, indoor work, or errands 9:30 am I can start my water intake with my heart meds Today I am all about scheduling. My knees hurt from mowing the hill out front, so I need to stretch and rest today. So, I am going to plan which days I have to supplement my busyness with more formal exercise, and when to schedule that in. Meals today: Yogurt whole grain waffles (homemade) with strawberries and low fat topping. Time to try my pea soup made with tea instead of ham. Salmon fillets, carrots, and roasted potatoes. Yogurt with mango for dessert. |

Hi all. We had a Fifth of May fund raiser at church last night with build your own tacos and sundaes. It was oh so good but the scale did not agree this morning so it's back to eating lean today. I am going to need to get cracking to lose another two pounds this week. Have a good one.

2 pounds in a week apparently isn't in the cards for me. :( |

Annette, can you please post your recipe for the yogurt whole grain waffles in the food/recipes forum?
Epixi, what did you learn about slow losers? Libby, tacos and sundaes sound delish, but I can see why the scale would disagree. I remember once our church had a "Penny a Pound Ice Cream Social" to raise money. You got on the scale and paid whatever your weight was. Even as a 10 year old I was afraid of getting on the scale and having people know how much I weighed. Hope you get rid of the 2 lbs you're hoping for. Yesterday was my 21st anniversary. That's a pretty big number! We didn't do anything at all, but that's ok with me. I cooked an incredibly tasty dinner of chicken and wild rice (includes cream of chicken soup, sour cream and white wine in the sauce...NOT low cal!!!) and brussels sprouts on the side. I need to make those more often. My kids were arguing over who could have more. And Jeff got me a big Symphony chocolate bar with toffee and almond pieces. sooooo good, but I know soooo bad. Fortunately our anniversary only comes once a year. I used to be addicted to them, so having them only once a year now is a success. Will work on today being a better one diet-wise. Also, I'm excited because I got 4 more purse orders for the month. Apparently the recipients of the skulls & roses and Marvel comics purses both loved them. (whew!) All I was told was blue polka dots (knowing a shade would be nice!), owls, patriotic, and frogs. The woman who gets all my orders gives me sooooooooo little to go on. She just says, "Do your art!" which is kind of stressful, because I don't know if I'm on track or not. I'm also expanding my Etsy with some experiments in baby and pet items. Hope everyone has a great day! |
Goals:
1) stop eating everything that is not nailed down and then some. Get back on moderate healthy plan - N, ate the nails too yup, N, N ( ice cream cake at night, small slice gave me heartburn) 2) weigh myself only once a week: Y,Weighed at doctor Y, N ( Thursday might be my weigh day) 3) WRITE: ish, ish, ish 4) meditate: no, yes, yes 5) stretch: yes, yes a bit, yes 6) 6 glasses of water minimum: ?, ?,?, OK must keep track 7) get rid of 5 papers or 3 items per day: yes, yes, yes, yes |
Happy Anniversary, Lisa!!! It's funny how celebrations always include the food we're trying to avoid. But I think you have to enjoy now and then or like me, you rebel.
Your purses sound wonderful. It must be frustrating to get vague directions (or no directions at all) but you must be doing something right!!! |
