I don’t know how some people make different meals for each day – that sounds like so much work!  Luckily, I’m very content with eating the same thing several days in a row.  The heat this weekend is getting to me…it hit 95 here.  Trust and believe that I know that sounds whiny, but Seattle has NO AIR CONDITIONING!  Most of the businesses don…[Read more]

Just wanted to report in before I head to bed early. 80+ ounces in, unplugged most of the day, about to have my snack before bed.

Some of the meals I have planned for the week are :

Breakfast – shakes, cottage cheese with fruit or peanut butter in it, eggs (most likely omelets)

Lunch – leftover roast and veggies, sandwiches made with my grocery…[Read more]

Got my 80 ounces in.

Unplugged for over an hour already today and will do my weekly meal planning tonight. I hunt for new recipes and log them in MFP, and then create a daily log so I can see my macros (~1200 net calories, 80+ grams of protein and 130 max grams of carbs).  Only 36 oz of water so far.

Clear!

As for the other challenges, I have 60/80 ounces of liquids in so far today. I’m still eating my snack at bedtime and am actually getting a bit of more sleep. After yesterday’s extremely STRESSFUL day with my dog, I’ve been unplugged most of the day just relaxing and reading.

For the next challenge, I have made 3 double batches of Unjury…[Read more]

60 oz. H2O today, unplugged for almost 2 hours, made all my food, and no eating before bed.  I won’t do so well over the weekend – I only see my husband on the weekends and we go out for meals at least a couple of times.

No infection just extremely bad allergies. She’s in surgery now to drain the hematoma. The vet will give her an allergy shot that should relieve things for up to 2 months. She’s be able to come home in a couple of hours with antibiotics and pain meds. Plus a cone. THAT will be a new experience for all of us!

I hope she’s ok!

Yep, one of many for sure!  BMI/weight are definitely not THE indicator of how fit I am.  I’m in the overweight category, but my drs agree that I don’t need to lose more. I tend to weigh daily and I know my average is 185-188.  A few weeks ago I traveled for work and didn’t weigh during that time, and then found myself 6 lbs up, which is unu…[Read more]

I got rid of the scale for about 18 months post op and simply followed instructions, which resulted in a 150 lb loss. I learned to track other things – measurements, steps, workouts, meals, protein & carbs, clothing size.

Now I have a scale and I typically step on it when I brush my teeth. It has no impact on my feelings about myself – it’s as…[Read more]

72 down and no eating after 7:30. I only unplugged 45 consecutive minutes today. Prepared all my own food.

Hmmmm…too much too soon. And maybe I don’t really believe the recommendation. I mean, you can find professionals that disagree on everything and I don’t typically subscribe to a one size fits all approach. That said, I do follow most of my surgeon’s recommendations.

All on track!  Doing an outdoor boot camp workout with my trainer and husband on Saturday. Should be fun.

86 ounces in, currently having my snack before bed and I was unplugged most of the day. I actually ran errands and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized I had left my phone at home! All food was made, portioned and eaten at home.

I don’t know what’s going on with me. I wake up with plenty of energy, but by lunch time, I’m barely dragging myself through the rest of the day.

Steps and liquids are in. Shake for breakfast, I don’t think that I ever ate lunch and some homemade shrimp scampi for dinner.
