Yes! My cookbooks came and I have been using them! (l made Butterfinger protein ice-cream for my husband as a surprise for after dinner tonight. I can’t ever make that shake without doubling it or I barely get any!)

I have eaten healthy all week although I have been eating more than I should be.

I knew you were going to do the sweep, so I anticipated it. I didn’t do daily check ins, but I’ve turned the corner from the sobbing mess of Tuesday and the stressed to the point of vomiting Wednesday, and I figured I should do my thing.

Thanks for the compliment!

Yay, Bariatric Foodie suggestions on Good Measures. Today, before I changed, it…[Read more]

Well check ins have been great! Walks so far have only gotten one in and that was yesterday at the parade. Today is not gonna happen tomorow will for sure  but the week is not over yet.!! I have been very nice to myself so far and have not needed the worksheet however it is something that is on my mind a lot.

Mid-week sweep!

I’ve seen you checking in daily but still…how’s it going! Inquiring Nikki’s need to know!

I love it when my work is done (mid-week sweep) without me actually having to DO anything…

You are having some big moments of self-realization. You inspire me!

On Good Measures I got my dietitian to adjust my carbs so that it leans on me a bit harder if I go all starchy. Now my index takes a huge hit with starches, but that’s the feedback I…[Read more]

Checking in a little early because I have the chance to go to bed early. Hubby oral surgery went well. Parade was awesome I ran a lot of it because I kept handing candy to the little kids in the back or ones in strollers or ones with special needs and so I kept getting left behind.

Food was okish. I miss the verity of New Orleans. I had a…[Read more]

Honestly I will be sad but understand at the same time.

Not even sure how to use it anyway. Won’t bother me if it goes.

Noticed and have put on my calendar.

Interesting.

Thanks everyone!! Since I don’t have a treadmill, can’t walk around the block without assistance and trails (i.e. uneven ground) don’t seem to be possibilities for me I’ll have to give this some thought before I commit. Ideas are walking around stores, malls, or get my butt back into Planet Fitness (yes, I’ve been paying my membership dues for the…[Read more]

Lunch – leftover Mexican squash casserole (minus the cheese)

Dinner – basil and garlic chicken breast and roasted veggies without oil

I succeeded in eating slow with smaller bites and chewing really…[Read more]
