RND 219
Lifestyle goals: Only whole plant foods and never any calorie-rich and processed (CRAP) foods. No animal products at all of I can help it. It started as a short term challenge in this group to reduce inflammation but has bloomed into a lifestyle. Strength train or yoga 10 minutes every morning.
This round's challenges:
💤10 days of bed by 10💤
Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen Checklist app 🥦🫚🍎🥔🏃🍵🍞🧄💤
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s MY NEW LIFESTYLE!
4/2 125.6 💤 I've made it to bed before 10pm three nights in a row thanks to putting away the gadgets! Checked off all but one of the Daily Dozen Checklist yesterday.🍎🥔🥦🫚🥬 It's a lot of food to fit into just one day! I've made a plan for today to try to hit all 12. I can do it! The next step is getting all the servings for each food group. First attempt at veggie burgers was a hit with flavor but failed structurally. We'll follow a recipe next time. But, I made a roasted garlic, cashews, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt and pepper "cheese" sauce/aioli that was out of this world! I had to remind myself how calorie dense it was to stop me from eating it like a soup. Golden goodness. It's in a jar now for Mac n cheese.
4/3 126.8 💤🥦 checked all servings and made it to bed by ten. Beans for breakfast is totally new to me but I'm trying to remind myself that it's normal in a lot of cultures. What's weird today can become habitual in a few weeks. Just gotta do it. I'm waiting for my gut to get used to this new way of eating. A lot of fermentation I'm still not used to. It's apparently normal and will subside if I keep at it. I'm measuring out each serving today so I don't overstuff myself. For breakfast I saw that a 1/2 cup of beans is a lot smaller than I was eyeballing! Oh, and I almost forgot this little victory.... I'm not panicking about the scale going up! From the FAQs on nutrionfacts.org: "The Daily Dozen averages about 1,200 calories, but given the wide array of food choices in each category, it can range anywhere from 800-1800." I've definitely been tipping the higher side, especially with my not measuring anything. Now that I know I'll be better at it. It's so much whole foods fiber though, so many of the calories end up in the toilet... I'll see a big drop when that happens. I made a pun 🙃
4/4 126.8 I found a half-eaten bag of fritos in the pantry last night. What were they doing there!?! I had to clear the pantry of all ultra-processed foods, obviously, so I ate them all. Had a more restless sleep but I'm laughing at myself today. There's a big NSV for me: I'm not beating myself up about eating a half bag of fritos (it was a giant sharing size bag to be totally honest), and, it didn't turn into an all out binge! 🥦 Yesterday the Daily Dozen got checked and was a cakewalk when I actually measured 1/2 cup servings. I think it's safe to say I've gotten good at eating only plant based foods for days and have successfully reorganized the bulk of my diet. I'll call it quits on the strict tracking of the daily dozen but keep it up on my fridge as a reminder of "Green Light" foods we can always have more of. That is super doable without stressing about it and without forcing my gut to tolerate that level of insoluble fiber. It's not meant to be a diet but a base recommendation of foods to incorporate to help crowd out the less healthy stuff. It is a good base for practicing a Mediterranean Diet if anyone's doing that. I'm quitting the strict tracking before I start to resent it since the whole point of this is to stress less. But, beans for breakfast again with my potato hash is a great way to start the day.
4/5 127.8 This is getting annoying but not unfounded given my carb intake and strenuous exercise yesterday. I'm not going to make any big changes just yet. If the scale is still up tomorrow then I'll start tracking my calories again. I really enjoy not tracking calories and instead tracking food types from the checklist app. I made a pasta dish yesterday that my husband said looked like "a real recipe...Martha Stewart would approve." What?! I know he doesn't know how to filter his compliments so that's big. It was so easy, too. I peeled and chopped up two large carrots, threw them in a pot to boil with salt, then added some whole wheat rotini, frozen spinach, and when everything was done boiling I drained it and added some leftover broccoli and mixed in my leftover cashew cheese sauce. The final product was colorful with the veggies and the mouth feel was all comfort food quality. It took 20 minutes and one pot and used up leftovers! Weight is up today but I am getting more confident in the kitchen and am learning how to cook healthy things that aren't boring tasting and gross looking so that is a good thing for the long term.
4/6 126.8 Good day yesterday. I've started adding fresh ginger root to my smoothies for the anti inflammatory effects of ginger but noticed that with the sharpness of the ginger I don't need a sweetener in the smoothie. That saves me a ton of calories since I like things pretty sweet. Got all my daily dozen veggies and beans yesterday and berries but somehow didn't binge on fruits per usual. That probably means today I'll be craving fruits but I won't let myself go overboard.
4/7 125.0 Yay! There's the drop I was needing, seriously. TMI. Phew. I feel so. much. better. Hit all my Daily Dozen yesterday, too and bed was calling me by 9. 💤🥦🍎🫚🥬I was being an ignoramus when I was making my belly distended by not looking at servings sizes. 1/2 cup of peas counts as one serving of beans. I regularly eat a can of peas (3.5 servings) a day as a snack for the fiber and protein in it. Got my "beans" and toast and greens and fruit smoothie and dinner was mixed vegetables on another failed focaccia attempt. I should get points for still trying when 9/10 of my cooking/baking attempts are failures. One day it'll work. I'm eating a lot more carbs than usual and I know I don't "need" them but I'm noticing that I'm less snacky after a high carb dinner. Good Good Friday, everyone!

4/2 215.2 You know what they say about best laid plans.....Well, last night's dinner was not poutine. They had no gravy! So I had 2 chicken tenders that I calculated as 4 as they were on steroids lol. And 9 onion rings deep fried. Today we decided to go to the Olympic type pool for laps. I did 60 laps in 66 minutes. Slow and steady lol. Dinner is leftovers from last night but only 1 tender as my tummy is still full. And the sodium thirst is fierce. It was nice to get in a pool again. Completed 2x rebounder sessions at 20 mins each
4/3 214.7 Migraine
4/4 214.8 Migraine
4/5 214.6 Calories have been good. Exercise non existent (managed a slow evening stroll with husband) PMS is ending with the customary migraine. Far too many meds. I have been able to cook meals. Mini wontons and salad the other night and turkey stroganoff last night. I will try at least one rebounder session today. Struggling with sleep at night as I have been napping on and off all day. Binge watched Lenix Hill on Netflix till the wee hours. Hoping for less meds today and more energy.
4/6 213.5 Definitely more energy yesterday but not enough. 1x 10 min rebounder. Was up at night with nausea and an aura migraine. Feel somewhat better so far this morning. During my overnight awake hours I tweaked my food diary to reflect intermittent fasting and to show water and fruit intake. Since I am trying to increase calories I think this might be of assistance. My eating window is from 11am to 7pm. Not sure if this will change to 10am to 6pm. I prefer my first exercise routine in the morning so it may change. Have quarterly neuro appt this morning plus a few errands. Happy Thursday!
4/7 211.9 First day of IF in the books. I had neuro appt at 10am so packed a wrap and carrots to eat afterwards. I ended my fast at 11:24am with this. I switched planned breakfast with lunch. This worked till I had 1 cup cooked oatmeal with 3/4 cup halved strawberries at lunch and couldn't finish it. The pre planned day was lost after this. I missed afternoon fruit and managed 1 chicken fajita for dinner. Tomorrow is a new day and oatmeal is off the menu till PMS! I did drink all my water and this may be part of the issue as well. I don't think 10 cups is excessive though.....
Neuro appt saw a change in meds. Monthly injection of Aimovig is being swapped out for quarterly IV session at cancer clinic of Vyepti. I will start this new med when i return from Canada visit end of May. All other meds remain the same and MRI scheduled for Sept. Back to 3x 10 mins rebounder sessions.7 -

@lisapower123 How long do you plan to fast? I would love to join you as I REALLY need to get back to doing this regularly.
@SModa61 RE: Miralax A few years ago youngest granddaughter went to the doctor. She was impacted and he told her she needed to do 2 doses of Miralax daily for 30 days and drink plenty of water. She was 16 or so at the time. I was surprised but I guess it worked.
@fmfdfa2020 I’m a salt-aholic. I made some popcorn yesterday-added salted butter and salt. I should have skipped the popcorn! 😂

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!

April 11:
I have been watching your posts and my heart aches for you. Last May I returned home to Canada for my first visit since covid to see my family. Two days after my arrival my father was admitted to hospital
and two days after passed away. I was sitting in the livingroom with my momma when the hospital called informing her that her husband of 58 years was "unresponsive". I extended my stay another month to assist momma and my brother and sister assisted when I returned home. Watching her grieve this past year has been....well....its not as difficult as losing a spouse. You need to give yourself grace. Mourning has no time frame. Memories creep in and out. Holidays will bring you laughter and tears and both are okay. I will Skype with Momma and she will share a story of talking with Daddy as if he were sitting right there in his chair. Honestly, I talk to him still too. I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and that you will experience this first holiday without him. I will be thinking of you.9 -

04/05 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)
04/06 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I ate dinner way way too late, around 10:30 PM. I’ve got to find a way to eat earlier! My tummy feels like a ton of bricks. It was a good day though. I stayed within calorie, got a good bp reading late last night after dinner and (therefore) jumped on my exercise bike for about 25 minutes. Travel today. I must be strategic.
04/07 -190.6- (Trend weight 192.4) This was probably not a good day to weigh. After all, yesterday was travel which always means restaurant, extra sitting and no water pill. But I needed to see where I am at before Easter Sunday. I am not real happy seeing the 190’s again but I think I can put a big ding in that today and tomorrow before the holiday. To meet my personal goal of the 10 pound loss between Christmas and Easter, I need to drop 2.2 pounds back off. No matter what happens, I am proud of my progress. I am down approx 8 pounds during my mini-challenge including through the Christmas holidays and the Valentine’s candy gifts. I have dropped a size, am measuring smaller, and feel more confident about myself. All wins! But I am still going for those last two pounds since I had them off before my bp issues stopped me in my tracks. Good news yesterday: Cardiac rehab released me with all good grades. That means less travel in my future which will definitely affect my weight loss. I’m feeling “up” today, even with the scale disappointment. After all, I had to buy new (smaller) underwear, remember?

@quiltingjaine my plan is 5 days next week. I will start after Easter supper on Sunday & continue as long as I feel good. I have nothing going on next week so if I need to hide out in my bedroom I will. There may be a couple of days that I have to work but that should just make it easier to stay away from the fridge. I would love a fasting buddy if you are up for it!2

April 7: 202.8 Well at least I am staying about the same. Easter is coming and I'm going to my younger DD house. This will be our first holiday with DH and I'm planning to do the best that I can. My goal is to honor him and not pity myself. Each day is better but boy is it going to be tough.
@jedaschultz ~ I am soooo sorry for your loss. I missed this news in the last round as I was on vacation and not online. I want to give you and your family my sincere condolences and keep you in my thoughts and prayers this Easter weekend.5 -
Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 219
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
My goals for round 218 were to maintain as I knew I was coming up on vacation. I ended up gaining 2.6 but once I got home, going back to good habits didn't come naturally....:)
So here we go again. I do have high hopes for April as there is nothing on the calendar. Easter is one day and I don't usually over do it on Easter. My feet feel good (knock on wood) so I should get my exercise in without fail. I actually rejoined one of the Step Bet challenges! My focus for April is on nutrition. I started with the Mayo Clinic Diet and got off track so I'm restarting.

4/2 221.7 - Yesterday met my weekend goal of 64 ounces of water. MCD Plan starts today and Step Bet starts Monday. ✔️
4/3 221 - Headed in the right direction for a change. Yesterday fell short on my water but was on plan for eating. Step Bet challenge starts today and I'm already at 4,724🙂 ✔️
4/4 220.7 - 64 oz of water yesterday. Below goal but better than Sunday! Steps - good - added chart above. ✔️✔️
4/5 219.5 - 96+ oz of water yesterday. Followed my plan perfectly! Needed a catheter, but that's another story!! MCD Plan Good, Steps Good, Water Good. I think I'll save the weights for the long weekend. ✔️✔️✔️
4/6 219.2 - I couldn't do another 96 oz of water and be human! I came in at 64. I'm coasting today as I have a dr appointment and a full bladder would NOT be wise. I'll see what I can do after the appointment. Not good on the plan. Had a late evening and while I had fish, I think I had too much. Steps Good! ✔️ I need a good day today....but apparently yesterday was National Deep Dish Pizza day and my husband wants Pizza. It will be another off plan day BUT, I think I can do a "calorie" view today and still have a decent day. Here's hoping. Then back on track for Friday and Saturday...then there's Easter Sunday.
4/7 219.2 - Water was around 64. I had fruit yesterday and saved my calories for Pizza. So while not on "plan" still within calories. I will treat today (since I'm off) as as a weekend with 64 ounces being the goal.

SheilaBoneham wrote: »@clprieur @caitlinnf84 Dave’s Killer Bread Good Seed thin sliced with an egg on top (fried in avocado oil spray) is my go to quick breakfast — yummy! It also makes killer French toast, which I eat with a little fruit-only spread (I like St. Dalfour raspberry, or orange marmalade). It’s nutritious, yummy, and low-calorie. Good Seed is really great bread for whatever—I make veggie sandwiches with it with avocado/guacamole or hummus, tomato, cucumber, sprouts if I have them, occasionally a slice of turkey or chicken. I find I don’t need Mayo or butter with the moisture from the tomato and hummus or avocado/guacamole. There’s something really satisfying about Good Seed, and the thin sliced is not bad on calories.
Yesterday I remembered a bread dish a friend from Spain taught me and when I made it my husband said "it is good" so I translate that to it's delicious. Take your lightly toasted bread, rub it with garlic and a half tomato and get all the juices and seeds on the bread, and top with drizzle of olive oil, then salt and pepper. We had leftover roasted garlic so I smeared that on. I am so glad to have remembered it with all this talk about healthy ways to enjoy bread on here. It tastes so "light" and feels great to eat. Maybe it feels great to me because I pop the crushed tomato in my mouth while finishing prepping the bread and I never get to eat enough tomatoes. Here's a link to more ways to do it. I just used Ezekiel bread but obvs it would be better with fancy bread. https://www.seriouseats.com/pan-con-tomate-tomato-bread-spanish-recipe
@shmmm3 That sounds delish! I will try it!1 -

Didn’t overeat and, although I was guessing at calories, I think I stayed roughly within my daily calorie goal.

@caitlinnf84 WOW! So many good recommendations in your posts! I have to start taking notes! Lol. I need to Google: "Shrinking", protein shake/pudding, Supreme Cauliflower Crust pizza from Costco, and Dave's Killer Bread! I live in Canada, maybe we don't even have all this stuff!! Lol!! Thanks for offering us these suggestions!![/quote]
@clprieur I hope you can find them and enjoy! Finding things that I genuinely like is really helping me stay on track!2 -
