Maria A started the topic Maria's plan 8/6 – 8/12 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago
My mini-pledge this week is to continue working on slowing down my eating and with my discovery last week I also will work on taking way smaller bites and chewing more with these bites, especially meats and poultry.
Grocery shopping was completed this morning and meals planned.
Breakfast – Caramelized Onion Quiche (from Nikki’s breakfast…[Read more]

Sunday fun day?
I dunno. But I don’t have a ton planned. I went to the farmers market to get pickling cucumbers because I have a bunch of dill I refuse to let go bad! I also got some tomatoes for salsa (because I have cilantro I refuse to let go bad) and I fell in love with a bushel of not-quite-ripe peaches (which hopefully means they’ll be…[Read more]

I bought a bikini eons ago (pre-mastectomy) and yesterday finally decided to put the dang thing on. And it looked good! I thought. I just wore the top + cut-offs and set about doing some stuff around the house, including checking on my garden, but I didn’t put anything on top of the bikini top to go out there. I was just brave and did it!
There…[Read more]

Sorry! Late to the party.
I had the same issue, Ruth. I did Body Pump at 5:45 a.m. and I couldn’t convince my stomach to accept anything but maybe water before then. Problem was I would also conk out at the class because my last meal was in the middle of the evening before!
My dietitian told me if I absolutely could not eat before a workout, to…[Read more]

The rambling book is good – for you (to let it out) and for us (to understand where you’re coming from!).
I like your carb plan. I think the starches just don’t agree with you but I bet you’ll do great with veggies and some fruit.

Robin Miller started the topic Robin's Week of August 6-12 (and mini pledge) in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago
I haven’t given up on adding more complex carbs to my food plan despite last week’s weight jump. (darn those grains!). This week’s pledge is a repeat of last week’s pledge. However, I’m avoiding grains and am going to try out things such as adding winter squash (butternut, possibly acorn although I haven’t seen acorn in the stores yet.), more…[Read more]

Reporting in on week 1.
Yes, Nikki, grains are gone again. In my enthusiasm to add carbs back in, I forgot about that nasty little reason of huge weight gains when I eat them. But I’m not giving up! See this week’s pledge!

Well today is my “baby’s” birthday (31 years old….YIKES! I’m not that old am I?!?!). Will be heading over to his house this afternoon to “celebrate” so to speak. He didn’t want a birthday party, so he’s telling everyone it’s a cookout. Well I have news for him, I’m going to celebrate his birthday whether he likes it or not!!! So there Marc 😝!!!

Popping in quick for “Check In”. I’d say that I did pretty good this week with eating slower and making time for my meals. However, I also discovered that I sometimes take too big of a bite and not chewing it enough (especially when eating meats and poultry). So I have begun incorporating this into my meals.

13526 steps so far … Food was mostly OK. I did eat 3 bites of my husbands dessert at a late lunch and had 1/2 of a flatbread pizza for dinner … We start heading for home tomorrow so won’t be walking but will have more control over my food choices

Endoscopy went well, he took a couple of biopsies since I had been tested positive in the past for Barrett’s Esophagus. He showed me the pics he took during the procedure of areas biopsied and also a pic that showed that I still had a staple from my WLS!!! I’ll know results in about a week. All of the dinners I had planned for the week didn’t…[Read more]

Off day for me since I had my endoscopy this morning which meant no eating or drinking until after the test (which was about 10:30 this morning). Made myself an egg sandwich around 1:00 (sprouted grain bread, an egg and a little butter) and ate it all over 15 minutes. Had broiled scallops, mac salad and coleslaw (take out) for dinner–ate most of…[Read more]
