Also, I forgot to post the photo from last night. My friend on the left, myself in the middle, Sarah Penner on the right.
Love the photo! I might have to order her books....I'm looking for something new to read.
It looks like you had fun.1 -

Hi, everyone! I am a 45 year-old female. I am 5'4" married with four kids and a new full-time job since January. Physically, I am a two-time cancer survivor, I have Hypothyroidism, and Plantar Fasciitis.

Lol!

I've not posted in a few days- I had a couple of frustrating weigh-ins but the last 2 days have shown that really I should just weigh in weekly.... which I might do after this month. It's great to see the downward trend of the month but I just obsess over the weight a little too much.
I am trying to get it out of my head that I want to be 350lb or under by the time I go on vacation in 33 days... 14lb is a lot to lose, and I don't want to put that pressure on myself. I am so happy with my progress so far- and nearly 24lb down since February 26th is pretty darn awesome!5 -
My name is Donna. I am 5ā 5ā tall, 62 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

03/24-188.0-(Trend Weight 189.8)- My good choices finally caught up with the scale today from the days earlier in the week. But yesterday was a bit of a binge. I lost all control. It was fueled by emotions as I was called into the āprincipalās officeā at the cardiac rehab and told that I should have went to the hospital with the bp drops, or at the very least, contacted one of my doctors. My readings that had improved by Sunday night were still good enough on Monday morning to go. However, yesterday evening at home, they dropped yet again and stayed that way all night. I began my emotional eating binge and didnāt stop until midnight. I discontinued the night time bp med again (Lisinopril) but continue to take the Metroprolol (prolly spelled wrong) in the mornings because it is not just a bp med but it also helps the heart to actually pump. My blood pressure is now okay again today. I am babysitting my DGS again today so hopefully I will continue to feel well. In any case, overeating foods, especially those that are bad for my diabetes, are not going to help. Emotional eating never solves the problem. This realization is helping me, at least for today. I hope it helps someone else too.
03/25-187.2-(Trend Weight 189.5)- Snow storm today. 8 ā 10ā expected and it looks like the numbers are right on target. On the weight front: Iām so glad to see a drop and also a downward trend weight after the binge on the night of the 23rd. Back on track! In regards to health, I ended up calling my cardiologist (on the advice of the aforementioned āprincipalā) because of the drop again in my bp. They agreed for me to stay off the one bp med (Lisinopril) through the weekend. Doctor was not in for the day. They wanted me to record bpās several times a day on Fri, Sat and Sun then stop in at the Heart Failure Clinic (love the name!) and let Cardiologist see them on Monday when I am back in the town where they are located (same town as my Rehab I go to on Mondays). They will then further advise. Possibly a different medication or stay off the one I stopped? I dunno. Of course, I am hoping that my weight loss (21 lbs down since my high weight last June) is affecting my medication doses for the positive. Is it possible that Iām not actually getting sicker but instead, getting HEALTHIER? Itās possibleā¦ā¦. Wait until you hear about my glucose numbers these past few weeks. More on that tomorrowā¦ā¦

03/26-187.8-(Trend Weight 189.3)- Go figure! It was another very good day food-wise. Got in a bit of exercise but otherwise not a lot of activity as I still continue to baby my blood pressure so maybe that explains the uptick? Anywayā¦. I travel today to my DGSās 4th birthday in another town. I usually donāt log when the food (and dessert) is out of my control or too complicated (even though logging is NEVER a bad idea). I do plan to enjoy the day. Iāve actually saved a few calories and carbs back over these past few days to help offset the damage at least a little. In regards to my glucose numbers (since last seeing the idiot dietician). My morning fasting numbers (usually the lowest of the day before food) was running 300-525. Those are EMERGENCY ROOM numbers for many but my body got very used to it and I actually didnāt even feel that bad. Since ignoring my dietician by counting my calories AND my carbs, incorporating some Intermittent fasting (against her advice) and doing what I know works FOR ME, my morning glucose readings are now 130-165. I think I could get them even lower if I tried because I have been eating sugar-free jello almost every night with sugar-free cool whip but they contain artificial sugars (which are not Natural sugar-free sugars) so they spike my glucose. I recently found on the Walmart website that they sell a keto friendly whipped topping that is made with monk fruit so I will start buying that when Iām out of town. I also found on Amazon that the vitamin company Swanson sells a sugar-free jello made with Erythitol (spelled wrong) and Stevia, both of which do not spike the glucose. It is double the price of Jello brand (itās about @2.50 per small 4 serv box I think), but it will help my glucose numbers so Iām ordering a bunch. What I canāt yet give up is my nightly piece of Russell Stovers sugar-free dark chocolate candy which uses an artificial sweetener. Iām just not there yet. But progress is progress, right? I did learn to really enjoy the 90% dark cacao chocolate when I was on Keto. It was the Samās club brand but I havenāt been able to find it at Walmart lately so itās just been me and Russell.

Physically, I am a two-time cancer survivor, I have Hypothyroidism, and Plantar Fasciitis.

Lol!

Hey all!
I had a hugely busy weekend. Unfortunately, that meant I ended up bending my food boundaries all over the place. I won't say break, because I actually stayed somewhat true to what I wanted. I just went over at the very end of the evenings or past my cut off times. Nothing that will completely end all progress and not a full day of eating whatever I wanted. Just enough past everything to feel like a prick at my conscience. Actually, enough of a prick on my conscience that I didn't log into the community groups at all this weekend. Like hiding from accountability is going to alter what I ate. Anyway, just another day to pick myself up and start again.
Speaking of my 3 events in 2 days over the weekend.... I am hosting my neighborhood book club for movie night tonight. We read The Bone Collector earlier this month and so we will watch the movie tonight. I'm making a potato bar, a skeleton shaped veggie tray, popcorn, and Scooby snacks (since they look like bones). I'm eating light until tonight so I can account for enough calories. As I don't know what others will be bringing to share. Also, this is how I ended up bending my boundaries. Food at every event and too many in a row. I'm great with planning for one or two things days apart. It was having everything back to back.
@deepwoodslady I had a doctor that wouldnāt listen to me so I did my own thing too. Thankfully, Iāve since found one I like. Iām proud of you for doing what works for you and getting your blood sugar down.

03/25-187.2-(Trend Weight 189.5)-
03/26-187.8-(Trend Weight 189.3)- Go figure! It was another very good day food-wise. Got in a bit of exercise but otherwise not a lot of activity as I still continue to baby my blood pressure so maybe that explains the uptick? Anywayā¦. I travel today to my DGSās 4th birthday in another town. I usually donāt log when the food (and dessert) is out of my control or too complicated (even though logging is NEVER a bad idea). I do plan to enjoy the day. Iāve actually saved a few calories and carbs back over these past few days to help offset the damage at least a little. In regards to my glucose numbers (since last seeing the idiot dietician). My morning fasting numbers (usually the lowest of the day before food) was running 300-525. Those are EMERGENCY ROOM numbers for many but my body got very used to it and I actually didnāt even feel that bad. Since ignoring my dietician by counting my calories AND my carbs, incorporating some Intermittent fasting (against her advice) and doing what I know works FOR ME, my morning glucose readings are now 130-165. I think I could get them even lower if I tried because I have been eating sugar-free jello almost every night with sugar-free cool whip but they contain artificial sugars (which are not Natural sugar-free sugars) so they spike my glucose. I recently found on the Walmart website that they sell a keto friendly whipped topping that is made with monk fruit so I will start buying that when Iām out of town. I also found on Amazon that the vitamin company Swanson sells a sugar-free jello made with Erythitol (spelled wrong) and Stevia, both of which do not spike the glucose. It is double the price of Jello brand (itās about @2.50 per small 4 serv box I think), but it will help my glucose numbers so Iām ordering a bunch. What I canāt yet give up is my nightly piece of Russell Stovers sugar-free dark chocolate candy which uses an artificial sweetener. Iām just not there yet. But progress is progress, right? I did learn to really enjoy the 90% dark cacao chocolate when I was on Keto. It was the Samās club brand but I havenāt been able to find it at Walmart lately so itās just been me and Russell.
03/27-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Nope. Iām not even gonna look! The birthday party was very nice and so was the food. I have 4 out of 5 days of travel this week which is never good for me. Also, my bp dropped badly again so I am back to laying around (no exercise allowed) babying it until the cardiologist figures out what to do. The one thing Iāve learned is that if I donāt move, I donāt lose. In fact, if I donāt move, I gain. Even when my calories and carbs are kept low. So I am going to wait until the end of this challenge to weigh in again. I will check in daily with all of your posts. I will do my best to make good choices during my travel days. I canāt bear to be discouraged right now. Iām going through enough as it is!

@pamperedlinny I love that you are letting the weekend go and just getting right back on track. That's a healthy attitude to take. Recognize where you got off and just say I can fix this and move on. Have fun tonight!
@deepwoodslady I wouldn't worry about your weight right now and so I think you're smart to skip weighing in daily. Just eat what you know is right for you. Your bp is more important for now. Hopefully the doc will get this figured out soon.

Hi, everyone! I am a 45 year-old female. I am 5'4" married with four kids and a new full-time job since January. Physically, I am a two-time cancer survivor, I have Hypothyroidism, and Plantar Fasciitis. I struggle with planning meals, overindulging in carbs, not finding time to exercise, and being consistent, but I have a good heart and am always grateful for every moment I have, even the frustrated ones. Lol!
My goals for March:
āļøC25K program 3x week - Walk 3xweek
āļøStrength Training 3x week
āļøZUMBA Saturdays
āļøPre-plan meals and log food everyday
āļøTake thyroid med everyday
āļøIncrease Water Intake

Good morning all!
Last night I hosted The Bone Collector movie night for my smaller book club. We read the book as part of a "Read A Book That Inspired A Movie" challenge. We decided that if the book was made into a movie, we needed to watch the movie.... and I'm a sucker for anything with a theme. Isn't this table great?!? Sorry, but it was just too fun not to share.
I also got my most recent blog recipe up this morning. I had already scheduled it to post so this morning it already went live before I was even online. I had made a big pan on Spanish Rice for my husband's office party and decided to bump up when I dropped it on the blog because his co-workers asked about the recipe. I decided to share it with everyone instead of just his office.
If anyone needs a Spanish Rice recipe this one is mine. https://www.healthyeatingwithlinda.com/post/spanish-rice-for-a-crowd
Tonight is going to be Zumba class while my daughter is at volleyball, quick locker room showers, and then we'll both be at the tea shop for trivia night. I'm so bad at trivia and so thankful for people on my team that know all the things. It is still so much fun and every once in a while I'll actually know an answer that others don't. It's usually about one question out of the entire night though. I'm useless as a teammate.
@deepwoodslady I donāt weigh after an indulgence either. Thereās no need to put the negativity into your head when you know in a day or two it will go back down.
