Do and Don’t

I got this in an email today.  I really like the Don't part. #1 & 4 spoke to me.  That is the biggest thing  I have realized with only eating this food list and at specific times -- I realized how I might pop something in my mouth, or if I am fixing dinner I would...

Day 35

I continue to lose, so that's good.  I never really liked or ate much cooked cabbage, but have been enjoying using it as a stirfry with the cabbage salsa and chicken or burger.  I will have to take a picture next time I make it. My body seems to stay at one weight for...

Day 34 – Tuesday

Well, I met with the doctor again on friday - day 28.  In my initial 28 days I went down 17 pounds.  I really think 12 pounds because I gained 5 pounds during my 2 day overeat.  I feel good.  Doctor was surprised I didn't lose more, but I have stayed true.  We tried...

Day 23 – Fri

Gaining weight the last 4 days.  So that's interesting.  I am eating the same as previously, but my body has decided it wants to play this game of hanging on.  I remember watching a video from Nurse Cindy a year or two ago, that she did this example of your fat as...

Day 19

Yesterday I was gone all day, so there was some planning involved.  I packed a container with 2 cups lettuce, green onions, cucumbers - bagged 4 oz chicken, and a container of raspberry vinegarette - zero carb.   It worked great - met Dick for lunch, he had his...

Saturday

Today is my first day after 2+ weeks in to this that I feel hungry.  Trying to figure out what I've eaten lately that caused that, althought I guess my body doesn't need a reason.  I just ate a hamburger and salad and my stomach is still growling.  I made tea earlier...

Day 15

In my walk this morning I was thinking about the positive quotes.  I like them.  I think they give me encouragement.  I will continue with the quotes and positive thoughts. I had to chuckle this morning, I weighed myself, and I thought "Dick hasn't asked me lately if...

Day 14

I saw this quote and I thought how appropriate.  I get so frustrated with my weight and constantly trying and then trying again. Some of that is fear of failure IS being afraid, trying and it still not working.  I am so ready now to get some of this weight off.  It...

Day 12

So I was concerned about Easter but it was a breeze.  I brought the meat (Ham and Turkey) to the dinner with green beans and cucumbers.  All food I could eat.  Ham is traditional Easter food - but it is not on my approved foods - so I ate Turkey.  4 oz turkey, 1 cup...
