@Elise4270 - do you have a recipe for your apple bread? If you posted it before, I can't find it and apparently didn't copy it.0

I drink a lot of water. Workdays I have 64oz at work and then about the same at home. I no longer track since I was always getting a minimum of 100oz per day. I live in a very dry/hot climate though so I need to drink more than most. The recommendation now is half your body weight in ounces. I definitely get that each day. Plus coffee, fruit, and some other foods are sources of water.1

I can rustle it up. It’s not a recipe per se, more of a throw together.
Food. Dh must have picked up on the curry thought, or he’s creeping on my posts. Korma it was. So good too. Bless him, he was gonna fix it... so it was a together task.3 -
I drink a lot of water also. I have not tracked it officially. Tried, but then I end up getting too OCD about it. I notice if I get really busy and don't drink enough I end up feeling really tired in the afternoon. Have you ever noticed how cold water can wake you up?
45 miles on the bike both today and yesterday. That has made me very hungry tonight. We had Chinese take out (Ma Pa Tofu is what I always like to get). Ate Cinnamon Waffle half way through the ride today and then Peanut M&Ms tonight but otherwise a healthy day. I know I'll be starving tomorrow and my weight will be way up in the morning.
Re: water, Today when I was riding on the bike I start struggling around mile 35. I realized I was really thirsty even though it wasn't as hot today as it has been. I pulled over and guzzled almost a whole bottle of water and then I was fine.
@elise4270 - nice Korma!1 -
I've always known sugar, cokes, candy were bad for your teeth, allows bacteria to grow and assaults your oral health. Gah, this microbiology class has me seeing things much differently. I had to Google the pH of my toothpaste, and now I need to replace the 78¢ tube I just bought with something "better". I want ice cream, but the bacteria do too.
I wonder how long this will impact my food choices. Suppose I could get some apples when I get new toothpaste.
DH is gone tonight which usually means Cheetos, root beer, ice cream...but not tonight. I'm not sure how I'll indulge.

Here is the ingredients list for the challah. I know you've had a bread/baking class so I'll hit the highlights and if you need more info, just ask. I let it rise twice, and you can cheat and do one in the fridge overnight. I put an egg wash on it and braid it so it's pretty or tie it in knots. Loaves are fine too. For the apple bread, I'm still experimenting. I flattened it out like pizza (ok not that flat), piled apple in the middle and folded it up, kinda like a hobo bag, pinched it closed, rise and baked. I added cinnamon. I bet cardomom would be nice too.
I have the original notes, without apple, says to bake 325 for 35 min. I noted with the apple I had to cook it closer to an hour, so here's where you expertise come in, you may have to put foil over it the first bit, or make smaller loaves. I think next time, I'll make individual sizes bread, so it'll cook faster.
The challah is a dense bread. Don't bother with the internet recipes that call for less eggs, I do 5, more if I have guinea eggs. And with the apple, don't be shy about a bit more sugar.
This recipe makes 2 large loaves.
I use butter.
(Spoiler is bn dumb) so... eta haha got it.
Let me know how it turns out.
I think I may also consider rolling it out like a cinnamon roll and putting apple in it. That may be what I’m after. But not all that sugar, I want apple bread. I also thought about adding apple sauce... it’s a work in progress.0 -

Wow - so even toothpaste can be bad? I use Tom's. The main reason I do is that I used to get cold sores inside my mouth and the main brands, Colgate, Crest, etc., always gave them to me. Tom's helps.
I have been a fanatic about flossing for years and my dental hygienist is always happy and says there is nothing to clean. No matter what I floss before bed! But sometimes if I haven't eaten enough in the daytime I wake up in the middle of the night and need to eat something. Usually chocolate milk with a cookie or half a PBJ (yeah, not the best choice I guess) and I don't rebrush/floss and feel guilty. But it hasn't hurt and this doesn't happen much.
1 -
I knew some toothpaste was bad but never really looked at it in-depth. I typically use Crest or Kirkland brand which I like the best. I don't like the ones that have mouthwash, etc. in them. I have sensitive teeth and those 'add-ins' just seem to make it worse. So what is the best Ph for toothpaste? I will have to check up on it too. I bet Tom's is pretty good, they seem to have good products. I do like the Tom's deodorant.
Interesting about the cold sores @ddmom0811. I used to get them all the time when I was younger but not so much anymore.
I can't go to bed without brushing and flossing either and if I ate something in the middle of the night I would have to do it all over again - I am a bit OCD about it. But I rarely even wake up at night and never to eat.
Thanks for the bread info @Elise4270. I am definitely going to try it when we get home from all our traveling. Sounds like the perfect fall yummy bread!
Today food has been ok. I had too much salt yesterday with the bbq ribs and all. Even ordering it from the bbq place (2 meals for 3 people) we ended up with lots of leftovers. We were supposed to go to the movies today but bil cancelled so we opted not to go. Gave me back a huge chunk of time to get more stuff done before we leave on Wednesday. Got our eye exams done before the COBRA insurance runs out and need to do a bunch of errands for our neighbor friend. We are hoping to bring her home mid Oct! Then Hobbes has to go in for a cancer recheck on all his lumps and bumps as well as vaccine testing this afternoon. Tomorrow I take him to San Diego for his vacation/family reunion with the breeder. I will get out for a run in the morning though!

Re toothpaste. Ya, some could be bad for your teeth. No the one I have, Aim isn't really "bad". The pH is ~6 and less than 5.5 could cause bacterial growth and weaken enamel. So I found out that this Colgate one was over 9...I have sensitive teeth, thought the more basic paste would be better (Gotta go look it up).
Ok See chart..
@ddmom0811 I like Tom's too. But I feel it's soft. I have the kids cinnamon. It probably is fine, I should just brush more often.
I'm just being neurotic. Sugar is probably worse that the worst toothpaste. Might be a good conversation with the dentist? I always use regular Crest since that's what the dds gives you, but you can not find it in the store anymore. So Throwback Aim it was. 78¢

My Veg Korma didn't turn out this time. I've been making it for at least five years and never had this happen. I cut the potatoes really small because I knew I didn't have time to let it cook as long as I usually do. (Note recipe says ten minutes until potatoes are soft - no - it's more like 1.5 hours). Anyway, I didn't try it as usual and just put it frig and we planned on having it last night. I was lifting weights and DH was starving so he ate and came in and said "the potatoes are hard". So he had left over Chinese and I thought by the time I was done they would be okay. Nope. They were still hard - and these were tiny pieces of potato! I had to let it cook another 2 hours - so I had left over Chinese as well. And I never eat leftovers. I don't consider a big meal that I cook on the weekend, that I eat for 2-3 nights a leftover somehow. That's a planned meal!
Anyway finally it tasted good but tonight we go to In-laws so won't have it tonight.
We bring take-out to the in-laws because MIL can't walk well and her boyfriend is just too embarrassing to out in public with. There are no words. He gets into conversations with the waiters/waitresses and gives them shark teeth and just goes on and on. And MIL can never pick anything. Chicken? I had that yesterday. Lasagne? Had that last week? Pork - making that tomorrow. One time I just exploded and said "I DON'T THINK THE FROZEN STOUFFERS LASAGNE IS THE SAME AS WHAT THEY MAKE HERE!" She ordered it and raved about how good it was. We purchase all of their food pretty much for them on the weekend. Sorry, I'm so mean. But even my DH is just exhausted with it all. My son and DIL won't eat out with them anymore. If anyone is served spaghetti the BF of my MIL goes crazy on a long tirade about how it slops all over one's face, etc. Yes, no words. LOL
BF flies back to Chattanooga for a couple months and she's not going this time, so it will mean even more help required.
Sorry - I shouldn't have gotten started on that. LOL
I somehow turned off my 4:11 alarm and when I woke up it was 5:00! I looked at the temps outside and said F it, I'm running! So I did - 5 miles. OMG it's so nice when the temps are lower! It was 69 and just perfect out. I got home and texted someone at school to say I'd be late - only 45 mins or so. All my classes are in the afternoon and I can just stay later. Of course, I'm goofing off by typing this!
I was starving yesterday because of the riding on the weekend. I had 6 cookies (Nature's Choice Chocolate Chip). I know they aren't really healthy but I like to pretend because they have the word Nature in them... I usually have 2 so I guess 4 extra isn't that bad.
Got my flu shot and Shingles vaccine yesterday too!
2 -
@ddmom0811 that bf sounds like something. My husband sponsored a guy (drug alcohol recovery) that would ramble on an on and would say things that are really a part of polite conversation. It was so awkward. But he was an addict and had obvious mental issues that were unaddressed. Sill, so glad he’s not coming over to ask us to save his chicken cages that he repaired...
I usually don’t add too many white potato’s, only because i like sweet potatoes better, not because white are bad. They aren’t actually. I chunk them, and do cook it all about an hour. I put chicken in the ip and rice in the rice cooker and korma/curry in the Dutch oven. When the ip is done, it’s all done. I still have left overs and forgot all about it and bought bbq yesterday. So korma today for dinner.
Onwards
I had a coworker that put security cameras up around his newly built home. He was reviewing the footage and wonder who the heck was that fat man walking around his home? It was him. Dh was flipping through phone photos and and I stopped him and asked “who’s that fat Mexican woman your chummy with?” Ya... it was me. We put security cameras up in the house a few weeks back, since Eric is out of town I made a point to let it catch his grey cat being silly. I, of course, had to review the clip hoping it caught what I intended. Yes, i could trim down a bit, but was happy that I didn’t appear sausage like. Funny thing is, my weight hasn’t changed that much, 5-8 pounds. So I’m using it as motivation to build, not just lose.
Today’s food
Coffee w heavy cream. That reminds me, dh is trying to get serious about his weight, he’s delusional and has nothing to lose, but if it gets him eating better.... his diary he had logged heavy cream for his coffee at 17 calories, I log mine at 100 calories.
Left over curry
What goodies do you have today? What are you staying away from?0 -
@ddmom0811 - your in-laws would make me crazy too! Is your MIL better when her BF isn't around even if she is more needy? We don't have any terrible in-laws (all passed) but I do have a crazy brother. He is very paranoid, lives near my cousin in Sedona who, bless him, takes care of Pat more or less. Checks on him and talks him down from the ledge when he gets too far out. I try to call him once a month but the calls last for hours and drag on about how the government is watching him and making him crazy. As he gets older it is getting worse. When my daughter was in college he was still ok and she loved visiting with him and my cousin. Now she would visit my cousin and not him if she could.
I need to run this morning then I am packing Hobbes up to drive him down to his breeder I San Diego. He gets to go on vacation too and have a family reunion 😁
Since we are leaving tomorrow morning early and I am not packed I will not be cooking tonight. It will likely be Panera. Our friends we are seeing in NJ have big plans for all of us that center mostly around food and wine, Should be a really fun time!2 -
I don't have crazy in-laws but DH has one.2
-
@shanaber - have a great trip! MIL is slightly better when he isn't around but then she is also more needy so it's a tradeoff.
@RunsOnEspresso - Well, we all have crazy relatives somewhere! And maybe we are the crazy ones the others talk about! They probably talk about my crazy exercising.
@Elise4270 - Wow, your neighbor with the security cameras! I saw myself on my security camera out front and I was looking at phone all hunched over. Since then I've made it a point to not do that! I need to drag out my Instant Pot. Last time I used it, it wasn't sealing properly I think so I gave up on it.
Survived the in-laws. Wine helped. I had a calzone for dinner. I've wanted one for months and never had the opportunity but I figured since I was so hungry for two days maybe this was the night to have it! It was good! Then half a red velvet cupcake - a big one. We had stopped at Fresh Market on the way to buy bread for MIL (she's German and has to have a certain heavy kind of bread) and saw the cupcakes and decided to buy 2 and split among the 4 of us. Before this healthy life style 6 ago I remember buying 1 cupcake per person and maybe an extra one or two to split! Half was plenty! And it had way too much icing so I scraped most of it off.
So back on track today!
Had a nice 4 mile run and going to lift after work.
I changed my breakfast today and had this oatmeal: https://www.rxbar.com/oats
Interesting. Quite nutty. I had it once before and remember liking it more than I did today.
I compared the stats out of curiosity to my normal breakfast and normal yogurt breakfast has more protein, less carbs (but more sugar).
Oatmeal gives me iron which the normal does not.
So I guess I am telling myself it would be good to mix it up! Maybe oatmeal 2x a week and the yogurt 3x and then the weekends always different depending upon cycling plans.
Lunch remains the same!

@ddmom0811 I love calzones! I haven’t had a good one in 30 years... ones here are not what I had in Dallas as a teen. There is no ricotta. How is that a calzone? I go to Dallas Friday, I may hunt a calzone!
Dh was gone another night... he somehow didn’t tell me or forgot it was 2 nights. No prob, I just had dinner hot... waiting...
Leftovers today planned. Dd won’t eat my curry, it has pumpkin in it. I told her I always put pumpkin in it, you’ve eaten it before and loved it. Fine. I’ll eat it. I love it.
Maybe when this is gone I’ll make mullatawny... or how ever you spell it, chicken and rice soup.1 -

My calzone was so good! I had them add spinach. I used to always get spinach with ham before I was a vegetarian. But it was really good just with spinach. It did have ricotta too. Hope you find one!2 -
I googled the Dallas calzone and gave up. I don’t wanna go out of my way, I don’t wanna eat in a hard to get in/out of unfamiliar place. Maybe Denton has something easy.
Food today.
All the curry is gone. So... the way I feel today, probably will go to McDonald’s after class. I asked dh for a Hawaiian pizza, the kind we had in Hawaii. He didn’t remember it. Huh? Oh well. Implanted a pizza thought so I might expect pizza tonight. I could use that to thwart the quick and easy fatty burger.
Ok fine... let’s go adult now.2 -
C’mon. Where is everyone?
The scale is down or, I suspect trending down. I haven’t logged it in the app. It might not be so and could ruin my day. It be like stock market depression for the off work, broken housewife. So I’m trying to hold steady and ride the post op calorie demand downwards.
Schlotskyz today.
Veggie sandwich with avocado and bacon.

I'm here @Elise4270 . Just haven't commented much lately. It's been a really busy week. I hope your scale is down. I'll have my "official" weigh in in the morning, so will see where I am. I hope to be down a little from last week, but you never know. I also hope you you are recovering as expected from your surgery.1

Hi @elise4270 - I am here sort of. We are still in NJ and having a blast with our friends. The weather is beautiful and we have been outside a bunch, wine tasting on the countryside, walking around Philadelphia and today we are taking the train into NYC to see the 9-11 memorial. I have only been in the hotel gym once. It is tiny and reminded me of why I hate running on the treadmill anywhere and especially in a tiny space. We have been walking a ton though so I don't feel like there has been a lack of movement just not focused exercise. I may hit the gym/treadmill here again this trip but am ok with it if I don't.
Food wise it has been Starbucks for breakfast and lunch on the go. Thursday we ate at a superb Italian restaurant with homemade pastas and amazing sauces. I had a shrimp and rigatoni dish with a sauce made from acorn squash. It was delicious!
Last night our friends who live here made dinner for all of us with his 'famous' (among us) asparagus risotto and London broil and of course lots of wine.
While we were in Philly yesterday we went to Reading Terminal which is a wonderful indoor collection of mostly food, markets. I had been there years ago but had forgotten how crazy and wonderful it was, there are bakeries with fresh (still warm) goodies, places making pretzels, butchers, a fresh sausage place, all kinds of cheese places, fresh vegetable stands and even little grocery stores. Most are Mennonite or Amish run but there were all types of foods including halal and kosher, traditional Amish, German sauerkraut and pickles, BBQ, etc.. We had already eaten lunch but wished we had planned to eat there. There was really something for everyone. We did pick a bunch of yummy breads (fresh raspberry bread, pumpkin bread and pecan rolls) that were fresh out of the oven and still warm, and are planning those for breakfast this morning before wee head into NYC.
Hope you have a great weekend! We are here until Tuesday and hopefully I won't gain a huge amount by then!2 -
Food choices today not so great, but I was within my Saturday allowance. I took the GRE today...again.. 18 years later. It still is an awful test. No one uses that language, good Lord. I swear GRE stands for something degrading and not PC. Oh.. I'm ranting... Sorry. Just an obserd hoop to sort the masses.
147, 147. Subpar, subpar. But I don't think I'll cry over it.
I left out mid morning, drove 2 hours to the test, took the test in 4ish hours, and an hour in to the drive home found a McDonald's. So it was after 4pm before I had anything to eat. They gave me coke, not diet. You know coke is amazing when you're famished?
I'm bushed. Food tomorrow should be better. Maybe that soup.1 -
@Elise4270 - hope the test went better than you expect. When do you get the results? I honestly think you are one of the smartest people I know so I think the test should be fine!
We ate bread for breakfast; sweet yummy messy breads with no redeeming value other than that sweet yumminess. We rushed for the train to NYC, then to the subway and then the memorial. It was devastating... I did not expect that it would hit me the way it did at the fountain before we even went into the museum. I was a mess. About 1/2 way through it was so crowded and I was overwhelmed emotionally I just had to get out. So my friend and her husband who was also overwhelmed all worked our way out. I just couldn't do it. Someday maybe we will go back and I can see more of it but I just couldn't today. As it was we ended up running for the train back to NJ (no time for food). I grabbed a bottle of water and a chocolate chip cookie for dh and to share with others. I had a small protein bar with me that ended up being my lunch. We went out for Thai as soon as we got back and I got my favorite, Pad Thai - so spicy and so good! We also had some kind of appetizer with mashed potatoes and spices (curry maybe?) OMG it was delicious! Now we are sitting here enjoying an amazing, raucous thunder and lightening storm and pouring rain! Something we rarely, if ever get in CA!2 -
@shanaber Well I got you fooled! Hahaha! Thanks. Official results in 10-15 days. The on screen results were 147 and 147 verbal and quantative. I’d read the same sentence 10 times trying to understand it. It was all just words and no meaning. But, I’m not a reader. It’s just who I am. 4 hours of sitting and staring at a computer screen was taxing.
Your trip sounds so nice! I’m jealous a bit. It’s such a luxury to be or live where quality food is found.
—x-xxxxx-x-x-x-x——- (too lazy to correct)
Today
I’m going to make soup. I’m going to study and practice the violin... hey it needs a name... ideas? Oooh I’m gonna look up opera singers... I wonder where my cd is of the 3 tenors? Man I loved Pavarotti. Omg. I googled him to make sure I spelt his name right. You know there’s a documentary? EEEEEEE! I’ll be watching it if I can find it!
Oh food, right...
Do better.2 -
@elise4270- Hope your results turn great! That's awful that you have to take it on a computer that long. I would think anyone would space out after a while! Hmmm. I can't think of any good names for a violin. V notes come to my mind "Violet", "Vinnie", "Verna".
@shanaber- what an awesome trip you are having and the food sounds amazing! I did the memorial before too and it's so sad.
I was shocked this morning that my weight was the same as Friday. Usually have 2 days of long bike rides it's way up. So that must mean it will be down in a couple days.
Oh, just realized we didn't eat out last night - which could be one reason why it was the same. Usually we do eat out Sunday night because we know we will be eating at home most of the week.
In other good news, I finally feel like "I'm back!" on the bike. I had about 4-5 weeks off of consistent riding due to travel and weather and it's taken me most of August and September to finally get back to where I was. But now I have a few weekends coming up where I can't ride or can only ride one day. This weekend I can ride Saturday but probably not Sunday unless I can get someone to go to robotics competition for me. Then I fly to Portland to see my daughter the 10-16th! Can't wait! Then various other things the rest of October. At least I can run and lift!
As for food choices I did pretty well this weekend (duh, maybe that's another reason for no weight gain!).
I used to buy ice cream every week and have 1 serving (1/2 cup - how is that a serving!!!). But that kept growing and it ended up being probably 3-4 servings. I stopped buying ice cream when I re-started my food accountability. Last night I really wanted some! I figured after 83 miles on the bike this weekend I could afford it. Luckily both DH and I were too lazy to drive the 3 miles to the store to pick it up! LOL. We always joke that we will ride our bike 50 miles in a big loop but God forbid we drive more than 5 miles to eat out.
I did a ton of grading last night and am all caught up! What a great feeling. But alas, there will be more assignments today and all week! There is no being done with grading. I have some kids writing a project for the annual competition we go to and I'm really excited for them. It's a Test Anxiety Management system - and one boy can write music so he's written a soothing song to go with it. It's a Virtual Reality app and we may use it in our testing center here at school. I'm always excited by the kids' project each year, but this one seems really good to me!

I have left over mulligatawny, which turned out yummy, and a canned diet soda that dh thought was just canned fizzy water. It’s strawberry. I like it.
I think I have tentatively name my violin Luci. Ya, short for Luciano as a way to celebrate his kind heart and how he gave back to so so many kids. I aspire to give back through “my music”, maybe at some point I can play at church or donate time in a hospital or nursing home. Just the hopes of being able to brighten others spirits. Also...anyone watch “Disenchantment”? Hehe.. it’s a work of Matt Groening. Luci is this little demon conflicted by doing good and not adhering to being bad. He’s still bad though.1 -
I haven't been keeping up with the forums. Logging food, running, lifting and hiking. Scale went up a tad but whatever. I'm trying.2
-
@RunsOnEspresso - Good job with logging and exercising! Scales do that!
@elise4270 - cute name!!! Never saw Disenchantment. I have hardly seen anything. DH always wants me to watch movies and shows and I enjoy when we actually do but I never want to start one, lol. I talked him into watching the "Inside Bill's Brain" about Bill Gates on Netflix. Just 3 episodes. As a Comp Sci teacher, I loved it. He liked it too though!
@shanaber - sounds like your trip is going great!
After talking about having no ice cream the last month or so, I bought some last night! Just a pint (Talenti - the overpriced one). I was planning on lifting after school. When I was driving home I felt SO tired. I actually had my head bob and thought about pulling over to close my eyes. Got home and climbed straight into bed with my dress on ... thinking I'd lift after 20 mins or so. An hour later I realized I need to rest! So no lifting. I was so hungry all day and also during the day a few times I had what I thought were hot flashes but as I thought about it later realized they were not that they may have been some type of fever thing.
Believe me, I know hot flashes! So, around 8:30 I announced - I'm running to Walgreens to buy some Zicam (cold remedy that supposedly shortens colds especially if you take it at first sign of cold - quoting the packaging!) It has worked for me in the past if I catch it early enough. So while at Walgreens... that ice cream row called my name!
It was good. And I was down 1/2 a pound today after eating a lot yesterday. Nothing terrible but just a lot of everything.
This morning I feel okay. I did lift (the plan was to run this morning and lift after school, so basically cut the run!) See how disciplined I am at holding back? lol
1 -
@ddmom0811 I have “inside Bills brain” saved to my list to watch! It looks interesting.
Today’s food?
Coffee
Probably... umm idk... uh maybe if I have time before class I’ll grab a kid sized burger from McDonald’s. See, I’m downsizing the McDonald’s. It was enough to get me through class. Then I have to figure out dinner still.2 -
We are heading to Baltimore today to check on our rental house there and then to the airport and home. It is going to be a long day! Dh did get us upgraded to 1st class so that will be nice. I may even try to take a nap. and they will feed us dinner. American Airlines uses Zoe's Kitchen now and I really like the choices they have; healthy and tasty.
I saw a thing this morning on forming new (good) habits and they said it takes 3-4 months to really form a habit. You have to reward yourself along the way with something you like. Also they said if you go to a gym 5 or more miles from your home you will likely only go once a month if that. If the gym is 3.5 miles away or closer, people go 5 times a month or more.3 -
I did better than a burger I guess... I felt bad about being lazy and relying on drive thru food and had a tuna sandwiche instead. I’m not hungry but feeling stressed about school, coworkers are telling me all about how much injustice I suffer with the work situation, program applications and not knowing if I’m “acceptable” material, ugh... so i wanna snack. But the scale is in a head-lock and i don’t wanna let up. Dh leaves the Raman packets so maybe that’ll be indulgent enough, even if that means a temporary gain, it could be a better choice.2
