    I'm grateful that I am alive and even if I'm a little chubby right now, I'm healthy and getting happier as I'm taking better care of myself.

    Breakfast I had a grapefruit and weeds and seeds
    Lunch I made a spinach pizza
    Dinner I'm making spinach and ravioli soup
    a lot of spinach today oh well

    Exercise I did 45 mins cross country ski

    Water as always I'm working on my 3.5 L of water

    Hope you are all having a great day:flowerforyou:
  • My motto for the day is what you eat in private you wear in public. It helps me to remind myself to log my calories. I still ate them even if I would feel guilty about logging them. It helps me make better choices.
    For breakfast I had a chia seed and turkey sausage omelet, for lunch I had celery and a vegan black bean burger on a wheat sandwich thin with spinach and tomato, and for dinner I had garlic mashed sweet potatoes, balsamic parmesan roasted cauliflower, and veggie loaded meatloaf. I'm up to 10 cups of water so far, but the night is still young. For exercise I did an hour on the elliptical and 20 squats for my challenge.
  • I'm going to sound dumb, but what exactly is weeds and seeds? I've seen that a few times and I'm curious.

    weeds and seeds is a combo of: buckwheat, hemp seeds, chia seeds,puffed quinoa, black currants, coconut flakes, dandelion leaf, plantain leaf and cinnamon.

    It is a survival cereal that is made here in BC. I like to put it on my fruit at breakfast

    I had a good weigh-in Friday, after a week of being strict (thankful for that).

    Also thankful I've finally learnt how to put pictures on here, been struggling for weeks.
    Have a great weekend everyone.

    GMStb - Love the photo. And yeah, they don't make adding them easy!

    Sweet pea - never heard of weeds and seeds either. Glad you elaborated as I may look into it! :)

    Night Fire- I like the moto!!!

    Yesterday was a slow day for me.

    I did well calories but not quite in nutrition.
    Exercise was squats, no pushups...
    Water was horrible. I'm not drinking again. As in I'm only getting 30oz a day. I go through cycles where I'm not thirsty and thus constantly dehydrated. Wish I knew why...

    My motto: Waste it or waist it. Ie, don't eat everything on the plate (or just everything...)
  • Another late check in:

    I didn't eat much yesterday, I was busy taking care of my son. He came home from school with a fever. For breakfast I made a breakfast sandwich (eggs, bacon, & cheese), I skipped lunch then had a tuna sandwich with lettuce and tomato for dinner. I didn't exercise, but as usual I drank plenty of water.

    I still need to try harder to cut down on my carbs. I feel like that is a big problem for me. I love my rice, pasta, breads, and my biggest vice is potato chips. I can't have them in the house or they will find their way to my mouth lol. So sodium is the other big problem area for me. I think I need someone to stand next to me all day and tell me "NO DON'T EAT THAT!" lol

    I really want to do well this weekend. My motivation for the weekend is that my scrubs are feeling a little snug and I can't have that.
