Discussion Board

Good idea to write it down. that seems to always help me stay true to what I want to eat.

Rosey, thanks for stopping by!! It was just too cold for a long walk with Maxie today, but I did get to fitness center. My knees love it there!
bread again today!
but no candy anyway!

I had a fun walk in the cold today and was like a drenched rat by time I got home. I have been good about leaving bread alone but I had some mike and ike's today. bad me.

Rosey, thanks so much for being my McDougller pal here on the boards. I finally got back on the scale to see how much I gained over the holiday and it told me 178.2.... so now it is official, I am doing better and better, and will get it all off!! I know it is all the bread I love too much. on top of the brown rice and pots.
I did get to the gym yesterday, and will again today, and eat more of my 15 bean soup and a salad, plus my usual Bf of oats with some fruit.
Ahh Rosey, candy will always call my name, and I have to have an alt. like celery all ready to go into my mouth!
Next week starts that E2 challenge and I will enjoy those meals tog with others so much!! What I thought was so nice the last time was seeing a few couples there together trying hard to change their eating and exercise life to get rid of some serious diseases. this community challenge is so close by and then it had to be moved to a nearby firehall community room, since the community response was so great!! wow!! I am so thrilled by that news. I think it is great, does not cost anyone a thing, unless they want to do the blood test and even those vouchers are a lot less that paying for them. the meetings are all pot lucks, and teh doctor who is leading the way, has been to a few of the big conferences with the names we all know and they have encouraged her to do this. However we do live in a big area of small farms, and everywhere I drive to, I can see the animals out in the fields,eating grass, and hay, and laying about, no factory farms here at all.... but still and all, when your health is at stake, even a farmer will change his tune. When I think of all the hamburger I used to stock up on, once a month at the commissary on post to feed my kids, and all the bacon, etc, yogurt, we all loved. it is unreal, so I can understand why DH thought it was all a kick, but I have never felt so good!! Here I stay!
Since my DH has decided to at least no drink any alcohol at all, ( to have a brand new liver in 5 yrs -- and his liver is fine mind you, and he did not have the enlarged liver or the fatty liver suspect observation on his scan, like I did 2x... So I am very happy that he has been able to make this decision and stick with it too. almost 3 weeks now.
You all have a great day out there.

Doing good, just too much bread. I am making up more hummus today, from my chickpeas that were sprouted and made up the honey mustard sauce that is for BBQ but is great on anything else too.
did not walk yesterday, due to new fallen snow, but did my wts and exercises, I call it my kitchen yoga and aerobic routines.
My challenge today for myself is to have zero breads!!

I wish we had something like that e2 challenge here in the Sacramento area!! It would be so great to have a group of like minded people, and cheap blood work to boot!!

Keep up the good work

Thanks Debbie for stopping by to encourage me today... I am really looking so forward to this wkly pot lucks, to share and talk with others. It helped me so much last time too.
I tend to overeat so the McDougalling is so nice to do!
BF: oats adn pineapple, 2 cups of tea 2 red potatoes and a whole grapefruit, plus the pulp too

Thanks, Rosie !! We all need some encouragement to keep on this WOE
Have a great day over in OR!

Just watched EArthlings, or as much as I could stand tonight. Messed up sound, but still and all, nothing that I did not know, but still so awful....

Poke. HUGS!!! it was only on the second page. SMILE.

ah thanks a million, I knew it was somewhere...
Hey son and I had a nice hr long hike up on the AT again, along a rather level area up on South Mt. Took the dog along too.
nice day all around, Now he is makin up a Jamacian Red Bean stew/soup.

Your welcome. That sounds like it was a blast.

it was nice, and the wind is blocked by all the trees too. Dog loved it, but he had to carry her past a dead deer carcass, so that well you know, poor little thing was not be sniffing all over it....
got my oatmeal going now... and the snow if only a dusting right now.

I so want to live in our own house so we can have a dog. right now I do my walking alone or with kid I was babysitting that I will soon be babysitting again.
