I don’t know, but I think it’s more about how we feel about ourselves and where we are that is more important.  Why try to be in the appropriate category should influence where you should be. Just my opinion.

I never associated whey as a problem until recently. I have thought about it and realized it having problems after consuming it. I have used this past week a plant based protein powder and I haven’t experienced any of the problems when drinking a whey isolate shake. Yes, cheese will be a challenge, but I may try introducing it again after a while.…[Read more]

Things are going pretty well. I have been doing good at eliminating dairy and wheat, until tonight where I had a Premier protein bar (whey). So far so good with my meals, but I may at some point ask for your assistance, thanks. Today I had such a huge craving for cheese, but I distracted myself and sipped water.

Busy day doing lots of stuff around the house.

Ate my meals slowly, small bites and chewing. Did well not having any dairy or wheat until a little while ago, where I are a Premier protein bar (whey). Hopefully I won’t get any side effects.

Breakfast – 1 slice gluten free bread, 1 egg

Lunch – leftover grilled basil garlic chicken breast, roasted…[Read more]

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]

Breakfast – plant based protein shake (no dairy or wheat/gluten) with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Didn’t seem to bother my digestive system.

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]

Today’s meals

Breakfast – 1/2 Udi’s everything bagel, 1 egg

Lunch – Italian Tuna & White bean salad

Dinner – Italian hot turkey sausage burger, wilted spinach

Doing pretty good with slower eating, small bites & chewing, AND avoiding dairy and wheat (yesterday too).

I need to stop punishing myself by grieving over the foods I can’t have and…[Read more]

This morning I planned meals for the week and went grocery shopping already.

Breakfast/Lunch – Lactaid cottage cheese with tomato, garlic powder, basil (I love cottage cheese and Breakstone’s live active cottage cheese is the only one I will eat, this was a big step for me–thus the reason for doctoring it up in order to make it more…[Read more]

Okay, call me ignorant, but what exactly is a virtual 5k? In fact, what is a 5k at all? I have never done this before and am interested in in finding what is involved, especially with just having my knee replaced.

Not sure this is the right forum to post this, so I am also posting in the ask a question get an answer forum.

Thanks.

I bad, haven’t been updating in daily accountability forum. For some reason I have been easily distracted this week, although did keep busy.

Anyway, I was successful most of the time by slowing down my eating and concentrating on smaller bites and chewing, although all my food choices have not been the best.

To answer your question @nikki-massie,…[Read more]

Way to go Nikki!!!
