Speaking of oatmeal! I love overnight oats.
Half cup of oats, half cup of almond milk and 1-2tbsp of peanut butter powder (low calories and tastes so good)
Prepare at night, enjoy in morning.
I usually eat this on workout days as my first meal of the day. I dump some cut up banana in it too for taste or little bit of cereal sometimes.
Do you eat overnight oats cold? Always wanted to try them, but thought I'd mess them up, lol.3 -
@cyndiesstuff is right...with this way of eating I no longer eat night snacks. My whole eating has changed. I have now gravitated to substantial lunches and very light dinners. But I make sure I am not too hungry in the evening. If I am I will have a decent salad with maybe a sweet potato or bowl of beans. Most recently I have enjoyed fresh papaya with lime juice squeezed on top. Filled me up and sets me up for a good morning without being too heavy. I also sometimes need something sweet for dinner. I then have a sliced banana with fresh berries, unsweetened coconut, raw cacao nibs and raw sunflower seeds or nuts. It's quite decadent. And more nights than not I will have an herbal tea as well.
And I also agree with Cyndie that sometimes giving up drinking can really make a difference. For health benefits and the ability to stay on course with calories etc it is easier. And it really is surprising that after awhile you realize that nobody seems to care. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat or drink. That social meal time is over in a blink of an eye. I like to be satisfied and nourished after a meal. These days that is way more important to me than making anyone uncomfortable because I don't drink or eat like they do.
I was thinking this weekend about a "skinny" person. If you ask them if they want a slice of cheesecake or a cookie it is not uncommon to hear them say "no thanks, I am not hungry". Now you all know for a fact there is no one here that understands that sentence. What does hunger have to do with eating a dessert or anything else for that matter? Naturally thin people seem to eat when they are hungry and don't eat when they are not. What a concept!5 -
@Mrsbell8well all I got out of that was, "Did someone say cheesecake?" lol. for real tho. I whole heartedly agree with you. Food needs to be view as a tool to help you live healthy and every once in a while as a celebration. I am not saying I won't indulge, because I will. Its just I won't indulge as often as I use too. Tuesday is not a celebration. and as for drinking, I would rather use my calories on something filling with nutritional value. and I can't stand the day after when I have had to much.5

Well, the cold making its way through my family finally got me! Tried an orange ginger shot from a local juice bar as a last resort, but didn’t work. Am resting with a hot cup of tea now. On the bright side, my physio really seems to be working and the sciatica pain has decreased tremendously. I am hoping for a full revovery by March.

@CassieGetsFit2013 I like mine cold right from fridge but I think you can heat them too. I never tried.
This is my late breakfast (early lunch as I do Intermittent fasting) today, I added some banana and Quaker oatmeal square cereal and sprinkle of honey, too.

Well I didn't get up this morning because everyone in my house was up all night so I could barely get up for work. My husband was sick, the dog was barking and my son was yelling at her. It was a long night. I did go food shopping today and get some healthy food. My meals are packed for tomorrow. I did drink water and log all my food today. Hopefully tomorrow is a great day.5

Pretty good day today. I am glad that I got to do a walking video early because I wouldn't have had time to exercise. Tomorrow I have my xrays early and I have PT too. Not sure if I will make it to the trainer, depends if they are on time at the xray place. Oh well...I am pooped so I will catch up tomorrow. Have a good night everyone!
Nstephenson01. Poor Willow! I hope her paw is better. Sounds like you have a good plan for the week!
@cyndiesstuff ugh! That stinks! I hope it won’t be too bad prepping as you go. Sometimes life throws us a curve ball and we have to adjust. I like that you are seeing changes too. Especially the hunger. I remember that was tough in the beginning! I haven’t gotten the chapter about the social eating/drinking. I swear this book was written for me lol!
@NuggetBrain Nice loss! How’s everything going?
@lenka1 thanks for sharing the overnight oats recipe. I am going to have to try that!
@jedaschultz awesome loss! I am glad you are doing well!
@czvanut. Sounds like a good weekend! Have a great week!
@gottagetthisdown great plan! You got this!
@mrsbell8well Sounds like you had a productive weekend! Hope you survived your Fitbitless day lol! I feel the same way when I forget it! Lol!
@pacsnc6. How nice that your sister visited and you were able to stay on plan! That’s awesome!

I don't believe in Astrology but I have a friend who is a proud self-proclaimed virgo. She is incredbily organised and told me that she plans and preps all her meals at the weekend. As someone who isn't naturally inclined that way I thought I would give it ago. I did this week and last week. I also worked it out to fit with my calorie budgets. So a set amount for breakfast lunch and snacks. It is all planned and ready to go. It just needs cooking and putting on the plate. The up side is that I get to look forward to the yummy food I ahve prepared. The down side is that I don't seem to have left myself much wiggle room for spontaneous eating (maybe this is a good thing). The reason why I raise this is that my colleague has rescued some perfectly good crisps (chips) and given them to me. They are calling my name. I have put all my food into my diary for today and I don't have the budget for them. Therefore I have two choices, have them and go over budget, don't have them and stay in budget. I think I want to stay in budget as hubby as a birthday meal in mind tomorrow. It is great to be in control.

I didn't do my workout after work yesterday, I cooked dinner and took my daughter to her dentist appointment. After that I was ready for dinner so I ate and did some cleaning and that was it. I plugged up my Fitbit last night and forgot about it this morning, I guess I will have it for my workout later today. I hope you all have a great day!4 -
Ugh! No time to catch up. I have to leave to get x-rays. I will catch up later.3

My goal for today is to not eat over my calories! I need to go back to basics! Way too many days in a row over. I'm frustrated with myself. Today is going to be a great day with enough water, calories under control, and exercise!! Let's all have a successful day!4 -
Daily check in Monday
food-ok
water-ok
exercise-C25k
steps-10,193
yoga-Day 14
So yesterday I forgot my fitbit. just so you know @gottagetthisdown it is possible to still get in 10k steps. I got home about 5:30 did my yoga, did my run around the house then started stepping. I started with 149 steps at 6pm and made it to 10k by 9pm. Wouldn't recommend it but it is possible. I just didn't want to break my 10k string.
Today I have my interview at 10am. A bit nervous. I will be glad when it's over and a decision is made. Either way. I had my interview outfit all picked out. Didn't occur to me to try it on. Both the pants and cardigan are a little too baggy. Too late. Had to run. It is hard to keep up with my clothes. I am hoping to see my 40 pound loss mark tomorrow. I am about 1/2 pound away.
Have a good day everyone@
@twyla77 I am loving your positive attitude, donut story and lovely pics!
@nstepheson01 sorry to hear about Willows paw. Never thought about soaking it in Epsom. Lula Mae runs into that problem as well.
@cyndiesstuff you crack me up. I will have to get you the cheesecake recipe Skylynn made. Or she can make it for you when you get to your goal.
