Lisa, I don't really have a recipe. It's all about my mood and what's in my fridge. Right now the yogurt is past date so I have to use it up. Next week it will be sour cream and the week after that it will be past date milk from the baby. Grandchild that is.
I mix up a flour blend using rye flour, whole wheat flour, and ground flax. To make one waffle I mix 1/3 cup of that, only because I have too many 1/3 cup measuring cups. I add a little baking powder. Measured in the palm of my hand. Then I add an egg and two generous spoons of (yogurt this week). If I crave flavor, I add whatever I crave. Rum flavoring with a handful of raisins. A handful of blueberries. Banana flavoring because I am allergic to real bananas. Chopped apple with cinnamon. Pumpkin with pie spices, or just the spices. Oh, and I add water to thin it out some unless I am using milk. My cooking is way too erratic to write down the recipe. I could try to make exact measures once to give it to others. This is a low sodium, low sugar, low fat variety. |
Nearly 24 hours with NO posts? Has everyone lost interest? In the thread? In the whole dieting/nutrition journey?
Or has everyone simply gotten fed up (heh see what I did there -- "fed" up?) with the constant logging-off issue here on Fitday? I've been logged off 3 times already this morning and it's darned annoying. Will we all drift away? And who'll turn off the lights? |
Getting logged off is certainly a problem but my issue was too much snacking and regaining weight.

Lisa: Happy anniversary! 21 years, woohoo! To answer your question, turns out, genetics plays a HUGE role in determining the speed with which one loses weight. Some people are simply destined to lose in ounces (that's me). No matter what I do, or how well I stick to a plan, I'll probably never be one of those lucky people who lose 1-2 pounds a week. It's so frustrating :(. Another key factor is how efficient the body is. The more efficient the body is, the slower it will lose weight. Apparently, I'm super-efficient. Usually, one would think efficiency is a good thing, but in this case, it's not. Not unless there's a famine. Basically, I was doomed from the start. Disheartening.
Hope: I think you're right about celebrations including foods we'd like to avoid. I don't think a birthday party with nothing but celery would go over very well! Annette: You sound like a cooking free-spirit :). Throw stuff together, see what comes out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Strategy for the Week (May 3 - May 10):
But y'know what? I DO deserve the celebration because I've worked HARD for the past 4 months. I may not have the results, but I've darn sure put in the effort. So I'm going to cast aside the part of me that says I don't deserve it and I'm going to enjoy every second (and every calorie) of my Blow-Out Weekend. I'll get back on track on Monday. Heh and with my super-efficient body, I'll probably be 5 pounds heavier. I can't win. :p |
Yeah, after typing that out yesterday I added oatmeal to my waffle. It is a little high in calories but I figure that it covers two meals and I'm burning it off in the yard.
I finished the front yard yesterday, today I mow the back. This will be much easier. I also have errands to run today so I have to remember to bring my water. It's a warm one coming up. |
Hey, folks! Busy and enjoying this wonderful weather!
Washer could be fixed--don't need a new one--got one more load and I'll be caught up with laundry for a few days. Had a can to explode in my cabinet--that meant I had to haul everything out and clean that. Oh, well, I need to go thru all that stuff anyway! Fresh veggies--squash, green beans, tomatoes and onions-- from a local Farmers Market. I'm starting on my cooking for the weekend. Got a new recipe to try for a dessert--Lemon Poppyseed Cake--made with almond flour and a splenda/stevia blend. Sounds good and looks pretty in the picture. Had a NSV today--I've lost another inch in my waist and 3 inches from under my bust! Regardless of what the scale says, I feel victorious! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! To all of us--we did something amazing--we created another human being! Celebrate it! Vicki |
Vicki: Congratulations on your NSV! Those are always so sweet. And happy to hear the washer could be repaired. As usual, you are very busy and industrious! I get tired just reading about your activities :).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Strategy for the Week (May 3 - May 10):
I plan to log everything, regardless of how decadent and outrageous. Should be some interesting numbers come Monday :D. |
I am off to spend a day in the park dressed in long dress. Thankfully it's not wool and I don't have all the layers yet. Still hot. 10th century for women sucks.
