What Have You Done Today That Is Healthy

I did some yard work, stayed within my calories. 2 egg cheese omlet for brunch, yogurt at 2, chicken and salad for dinner.
Yes, the teacher has snacks at the end, Kim. I'm just an old dog... In my other tracker I had breakfast, morning snack, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack and cravings - because I could put any heading wherever I wanted it. I didn't use all of them every day. It just helped me see my eating patterns... if I was eating a lot in the evening, for example.0 -
Grr! I KNOW I went back in and corrected that to tracker (teacher). (Also, how is teacher an auto correct for tracker?)0

Not feeling well today. I don't know if it came from a sleepless night or what. I actually had Bill bring me home after Sunday School this morning because I was so dizzy. The dizziness is gone, but I have a headache (very rare!). I'm fine, just Blah.

Up a little weight-wise: 237.6. Staying on plan.0

Glad you're feeling a little better Connie. Hope the headache was short-lived.
Sorry to hear about the small weight gain, Kim. Those little setbacks can be frustrating (don't I know it!) but it's good you're staying on plan. You'll turn it around.
3 cups of coffee and a coconut yogurt with 1/4 cup of wild black raspberries so far. I've lost a couple pounds, but I'm hovering right around there. Can't seem to move on to that next pound lost. Exercise class tonight. Maybe THAT will help.0 -
Monday:
brunch - 1.25oz home-made turkey sausage, 4 egg whites, 1/4oz cheddar, 1/4 cup chopped onion - omelet. 1oz pretzels.
dinner - 1/2 bun with 1.7oz pork loin and home-made bbq sauce (best I've made). 1 cup potato soup (no salt, very low fat). MMMmmm.
Snacks - cocoa almonds, 3 hershey hugs, string cheese.

Kim - I went up 2/10 of a pound, too. It just happens. I don't usually pay a lot of attention to a gain unless it stays there.
Feeling fine today - thanks for the concerns.0 -
I love potato soup. I make my own that is not low anything! LOL! I put lots of cheese in it, mmmm! My body doesn't like dairy so I don't do this often. I found I can make a quick bowl using the store bought mashed potatoes, some chicken broth, and cheese. Sooo good and takes just a minute.
Makes me feel better I'm not the only one hovering, but I am hoping all of us find the end of the plateau and start down on the other side!
Staying on plan. Looking at my THM starter book and getting recipe ideas so I can separate my fats and carbs. I still haven't got a grip on the Fuel Pull part of it though, but will keep working on it!

MONDAY:
Coconut yogurt with 1/4 cup wild black raspberries for brunch. 2 chicken sliders (on gf multigrain dinner rolls) with leftover chicken breast and Colby Jack cheese sounds 4:30). No snacks!
3 coffees, 2 waters
1 hour exercise class.
And down a lb this morning!0 -
On plan. Did get some walking in yesterday but not as much as I had been. Still quite fatigued. I walk until I peter out. It seems like my heart isn't beating right right now. I'm having more episodes of that irregular beat showing up and I just get that heavy feeling in my chest when I'm walking and it gets to pounding, it makes it harder to breathe! I may have to go up on my metoprolol for a little bit, at least until we get out of the heat of summer. I'm still not taking much of it, 1.5 tablets in the morning (37.5mg), so I'll just add that half back and go back to 50 mg for a little while. I still got close to my 2,000 steps though. Praise the Lord for that!0

I kind of fell off with reporting for a couple of days. I thought about it this morning.
Yesterday:
Lunch: Small taco salad and an ounce of pretzels
Dinner: Pan seared chicken breast (good sized portion), corn on the cob (no butter) salad with homemade french dressing
Snacks: 1oz cocoa almonds, 1 string cheese, 2 Hershey Hugs.
Calories: 1146 - a little high for me, but still under plan

Did fairly well on Tuesday as well. Staying on plan, but another cheat day is probably coming soon.0 -
I did have pizza and three squares of cheesy bread for dinner last night. Yummers. Not sorry at all! Normally I would eat three slices of pizza, but I had one and the cheese bread. Soooo good. We are going out to lunch tomorrow so I will try to make wise choices there too.0

I tracked my lunch for today since we are going out to eat and I wanted to make sure I could fit it in - and it does! I hope they have what I want to eat at this restaurant. It's on the waterfront in Beaufort, NC (which is pronounced like you would call your boyfriend, not the SC way where it's B-you-fert (heehee), so I am assuming they would have broiled shrimp! Yummers! I've been wanting some seafood, and since we live on the coast that shouldn't be too hard!
Weight is up again to 239. I think it's the nuts I am eating late at night. Gotta stop that! No eating after 8 PM!!! New goal!!!0 -
It started rainy and ugly today, so I was lazy and didn't take a walk. It isn't bad now, but hot and humid. I might go later, but don't hold your breath!

I found a recipe for an Enchilada Casserole that I thought I could adapt for low sodium for my hubby. It was really good, but it sure blew my saturated fats level. I will make it again, though. It was too good to eliminate and the guys really liked it.

Tonight we had a light dinner with a lot of carbs. I made pulled pork with home-made BBQ sauce (very low sodium) and corn on the cob. It was good, but I had forgotten how many carbs the corn has. It was after dinner before I checked my numbers and the carbs were a bit high with the evening snack I had planned. I had to go with a cheese stick instead of yogurt to keep the carbs in line...but was able to add an extra hershey hug.

I went ahead and put my food for the day in, I was quite a bit over on my saturated fats, but most of that came from the 1/4 C coconut milk I put in my smoothie. I was in range on everything else and at 1303 for my calories for the day. The smoothie is usually the thing that adds the most calories for me. On the THM diet you don't count calories or anything else for that matter, you just work on keeping your carbs and fats separate and what you do is are healthy calories (like healthy fats - nuts, butter, cheese, coconut or sesame oil, ...). I allowed myself one snack and will eat that this evening, but before 8 PM. I had stopped at 7 at one time, but it left too much of the evening without eating and my gurgling tummy would keep Wade up!

Not too bad. I would love to lower the carbs, but I just am not doing it. This is working, so I am staying with it.0 -
Monday I went to my exercise class.
I've been eating within my calories except for Tuesday. I bought a big bag of Hershey's kisses and had 9! I just haven't had chocolate in quite a while. I've put them away in the pantry and have successfully avoided them for the last 2 days.0 -
Today wasn't an awful day as far as numbers go, but overall was a difficult day.
Calories: 935
Carbs: 100 (usually try to keep under 100, but I was still hungry and snuck in a string cheese with 1 carb).

I'm needing to see your picture a little closer, Cindy!0 -
Is this better?

Looks like a fun day - and a COLD one! 3 beautiful ladies.

Haha. That was from late February (maybe early March) ... but it's more recent than my last picture. It was actually in the low 40s that day and by the end of that weekend most of the snow was gone.
Doctor appointment today. Just a routine exam but I also have a thermal breast exam later in the afternoon - my first one. I wonder what my weight was this time last year? I SHOULD be at a lower number now. We shall see...0 -
Pretty much staying with plan today, but not staying with my 8 hour time-frame. We are having to leave for Bill's appointment and I won't get my last snack. If I don't get it, I will be cranky!
How did your doctor's appointments go, Cindy?0 -
My apppointment went fine, thanks. I've only had this Dr. for a year, so I've only seen her once. She's an Osteopath and the more I interact with her, the more I like her. She's very down to earth and plain spoken. She listens to me and asks questions. We talked about my occasional bouts of insomnia and some autoimmune stuff I'm dealing with (the gluten issues and something new). The thermal exam was strange, new territory for me. I get my results in 1-2 weeks.0
-
Cindy - I used to prefer Osteopaths, but there aren't very many in our area. Praying for good outcomes.1

Just back on track after having a very off track weekend!0

This week has just been wild, and today is going to be wild. I have a dentist appointment. It is just a check-up. They will schedule an extraction/implant, though.
This afternoon Bill has an appointment with the wound care specialist. The Orthopedic Dr and the Wound Care Dr are giving me different treatments and neither are working as well as what I was doing before. AARG.
Anyway, I have stayed on track except Sunday's carbs were a little high.
