Cat, I have no idea and I'm not sure that it's for real. I can't remember the last time I had lima beans.
I had mixed berries, raisins/dried cranberries, spinach, avocado, and asparagus.
Wishing us all a great day.1 -

Raisins
Butternut squash
Corn

Shut out to Ann - hope you are doing well.
Cat, is there anything else we can do to support you as you ready yourself for surgery?
@LindaMarieFG - Please introduce yourself! We are Cat (tituscat2), Ann (annliz23), and Randi (rstanford3). We've doing weekly challenges. Currently we are getting 5 servings of fruits/veggies per day. We try to post daily. On Mondays, we get weighed. We don't report our actual weights, but we do indicate what we lost or gained or whether we stayed the same.0 -
Welcome LindaMarie. Nice to have you join us.
Here is what I had for the challenge today-
V8 juice
Banana
Garden salad-2 cups
Sweet potato
On my feet all day. First I did grocery store, Target, library and HobbyLobby. Came home and fixed lunch. Then I made 96 dinner rolls to take to my great niece’s wedding supper tomorrow evening in WV.
I am so tired and my knee is screaming, but it feels great to have accomplished so much. I didnt get to exercise today, but pretty sure I logged several miles during my busy day.
True confession time: i made extra rolls and ate three of them. With real Irish butter.
I will try to do better tomorrow. I keep telling myself it could have been worse. At least I didn’t eat a king sized Hershey bar😂0 -
Mixed berries, apple, V8, spinach, mixed vegetables in Minestrone.
There is nothing better than fresh rolls or bread, still hot and served with butter.
I don't blame you one bit! 0 -

Good to hear from you, Ann.
Was anyone the perpetrator or victim of an April Fool's prank? I was not. I tried to think of something to do to my husband, but I drew a blank.
A challenge has been posted for the upcoming week.0 -
Thanks for the challenge. It’s a good one!
Ann hope we see you again soon.
Another week and another chance to get healthier. My daughter-in-law has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I remember how tough it was to deal with this and I wasn’t working three 12 hour shifts as an RN at the hospital. I ordered three cookbooks and plan to cook for her on the work days. This may help me to eat better as well.0 -
Looking at the pie chart on my daily nutrition on the page where I log my food. Protein is often my smallest wedge. This makes me wonder. What should our pie charts look like ?0

The WHO has determined that the perfect ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats is (1):
Carbohydrates 55%
Proteins 15%
Fat 30%
I've tweaked mine to 40/25/35.
Up 0.9 today.

Weighed the same AGAIN. Going to buckle down this week and get over this hump!
Planning to have two eggs and a piece of oatmeal bread for breakfast. Bring on the protein.1 -
Hi all managed to get on after days of trying.
My grandchildren removed the cream from the orion and put toothpaste in the as an April fools joke. lol1 -
I had 89 grams of protein today. Looks like about 30% on my piechart.
Exerxised and met my calorie requirements.
Whew!0 -
Glad to see you back, Ann. Your grands are little rascals!
Nice job today, Cat! You certainly got in a lot of protein.
I had 25 gm of protein for breakfast, 75 gm total today. I managed two good outdoor walks and am just about finished with strength training.

Yikes I am up a pound today. I ned to figure this out and get over my plateau!
Physical therapy was killer yesterday. So sore today! Tomorrow is my last session. I have to save the rest of my allotment for when I get my knee replaced. I am grateful to have health insurance, but sometimes it is hard to understand. Hope I can continue the progress I have made once I sm kicked out.
Making homemade Greek yogurt today and lemon dill hummus and a loaf of wholewheat oatmeal bread for my d-i-l with gestational diabetes. I love it when I get a rare day at home!1 -
Cat, I hope that last session of PT allows you to stay mobile until your surgery. Hope the soreness eases off. I'm making yogurt today too!
25gm of protein for breakfast yesterday and 30gm for today.

The weather here doesn't know what season we're in: winter? spring? summer? I'm going to head out for a walk before the temperature hits the 70s.
32gm of protein for breakfast today.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Thinking of you guys & Hope you are all doing well.1 -
I have been noticing a bit more energy this week. Is it our high protein breakfasts? I want to try to keep it up again next week.
I was on my feet six hours today. 3 loads of laundry, bed linens changed, cooked all the food for Easter lunch: a Cumberland Gap ham, deviled eggs, pasta salad, and homemade rolls. I loaded the pasta salad with tons of veggies and made a buttermilk dressing. Youngest son and family are joining us for church and lunch. I am not offering dessert since our daughterinlaw has gestational diabetes. I made plenty of food so no one will go hungry.
Happy Easter to all my buddies.
He is risen!0 -
Down 0.7. Good luck Cat and Ann. 0

Up again with that same pound I have been puttin on and taking off last two months. This is my fault as I have gotten lazy about tracking and exercising. Honestly, I wish there was a fat camp for arthritic old ladies where other people would just make me behave, eat properly and exercise all the time. I need to crack this barrier!
Congrats Randi!0 -
Cat, it's the day after a holiday. Don't beat yourself up! Remember when we used to aim for 2 pounds per week? Now, I'm happy to lose a fraction of a pound.
It was good to see Gerri stopping by the other day. I still miss her and EJ. 
I've posted a new challenge for this week.
Have a great day, everyone!

I also miss Gerri and EJ. I wish they could have stayed.
