Not going to lie - had to look up peameal bacon...LOL sounds yummy!
Peameal bacon (also known as cornmeal bacon) is a type of bacon originating in Toronto, Canada. The name reflects the historic practice of rolling the cured and trimmed boneless loin in dried and ground yellow peas, originally for preservation reasons. Since the war years,[when?] it has been rolled in ground yellow cornmeal. It is low in fat, and slow cured.[1]
Bacon made of pork belly instead of the loin is not as lean. Peameal bacon is made from boneless pork loins, short cut from the leaner portions of the loin, to ensure a more uniform product. External fat is generally trimmed to within 1/8 inch (3 mm). Smokeless and tender, this product is sweet pickle-cured and rolled in a traditional golden cornmeal coating.[

*hello GoldK~ i'm betting your walk in the airport gave you some extra steps. it's difficult at best to get from one place to another there. hope your trip went well and that your neck is starting to feel better. happy weekend!*0 -
GoldK- I guess being from Canada I took for granted everyone knows about peameal bacon. It is more expensive to buy in restaurants for breakfast but less fat than the normal bacon. It sure tastes good. Thanks for explaining it.
Making myself accountable for weekends. I have been getting lazy recording my weekend dinners because we usually go out for dinner and there are some drinks involved and sometimes the food choice isn't what I should have. It's amazing how that messes up your scale the next day with sodium and extra calories. Then you try all week to get back down
again. So I hope to start recording my weekends if I have a computer available and not away. Does anyone else feel this way?
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Probably not, went out for dinner and popcorn at the show. I didn't track my dinner. Getting lazy at that lately on the weekends.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Went to Yoga Class and requested my
instructor to do a 10 min meditation after class for those who want it. She said she would.
What is today's personal goal? Exercise and eat right. Although another dinner
tonight with friends. Make sure I make good choices.
What would I have done differently? Probably not had the Lindor chocolates added to the
popcorn. The scale showed it this morning.
What is today's personal goals? Exercise and be in the Now. ( Eckhart Tolle)
Mood today? Went through some necklaces that my friend wanted me to have.

*Shirley... i'm so glad you mentioned weekends. i definitely struggle with them as we eat out on weekends too. i do try to order something somewhat reasonable but still... i also don't exercise some weekends so that really messes with my food counts. today was mostly a rest day for me. tomorrow i'll try to do my usual 10K- 12K steps so i won't feel so guilty for eating out. hope you enjoyed the movie/ popcorn and i'm sorry you had to go through your friend's necklaces. but, i'm pleased you'll have something physical to remember her by. i can tell she was a dear friend.*0 -

Last week I traveled for work. One day at the gym\Y. I felt terrible (physically), my neck, stress level, etc... This week I am back to my routine and I don't have any pain in my neck... a little sluggish but no pain. Working out is so much more to me than burning calories and last week proved it. Now if I could just get my portions and food under control and lose some weight ;-)

Just joining this thread today and like the idea of the check in. I think this will help keep me motivated and focused. My loss goal is 8-10 pounds per month through diet and exercise. I have lost 9 pounds during my jump start of two weeks eating low carb, lean protein, vegetables and good fat such as olive oil, avocado, fish. This week I incorporate the weight watcher eating plan still watching the bad carbs but adding a great deal more fiber including whole grains and fresh fruit. My weigh-in day is Monday of each week.
