    Moving slowly...but still moving. I seem to have a VERY slow metabolism. But at least I lost the 5lbs of water bloat last night. Because i work such a physical job on the weekends i have extra calories i need to eat. But sometimes i cave because the desire is just too great. And i had a lot of salty veggies on monday with chinese stirfry that lead to my demise LOL.

    Thursday truth

    Got the garden pots planted.
    Got most of the laundry put away.
    Did some grocery shopping on Tuesday at costco..where i caved and got some takeout food in their cafe. :( i forgot about that too when i did my weigh in post.No wonder i was puffed up in water.

    Staying home sick from work today as i am utterly exhausted. This is my first day off since February as i work 7 days a week.

    I am currently relaxing with the dogs in the sunshine. It feels so good to sit and soak it in. Soon i will head in to wash the dishes. Yup today is the day!

    And i will get a bit of meal prep done while i have the extra time.

    I am determined to enjoy this much needed day to relax and re-energize.

    Hi there, my name is Chantal and I am new to MFP, been here for 5 days now.

    Truth: I've been doing great tracking my calories and staying under my required limit. My challenge is finding time to exercise. When I get home all I want to do is relax and stay on the couch. I know I need to change this habit and get moving, like they say eat less and move more. I dread going for my walks and have a hard time finding any kind of exercise I like . Perhaps I need to suck it up and just do it no matter how I feel, maybe the rest will fall into place. Lord help me. :p

    @tabletop_joe "admittedly ambitious, but if I fail, I still win." I love that, I set my goal a little high too (or should I say low) and was worried about not making it. I am a proponent for the power of positive thinking and yet I never looked at it that way. Of course, even if we don't quite make our goals we still win! Thank you for the wake up tap to the back of the head, LOL! :)

    Thursday truth. It seems like every time I hit another 10 pounds off I start to stray off course. I was so excited to hit 40 pounds loss and then yesterday I ate all day and even in the evening. Then I couldn't sleep (happens about once every couple of months), I went to bed about 11:30, woke up at 2:30, laid there until 3:00 and then got up until 6 when I tried to sleep again for 2 hours. I managed to doze but not a good, restful sleep. Anyway, what I started to say was after over eating during the day yesterday, I also ate cereal and candy bar at 4 AM and then had my breakfast when I got up the second time at 8 am. Ugh! Today makes the second day, no exercise (too stormy to ride my bike) and overate again. Time to get back on track or that 40 pound loss will turn into a 30 pound loss! Love reading everyone's posts, they really help. It's nice to not be in this battle alone and my thin friends just don't get how challenging it is to have to live this 24/7 to be able to lose the weight.

    This is a really strong, powerful group, I'm glad to be part of! Have a great weekend, oops it's only Thursday, I only work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so my weekend starts now! :)

    Instructions
    You can halve or even quarter this recipe depending on the need.
    Slice tops and bottoms off small to medium onion. Set on flat end, make one cut through to center vertically.
    Gently pull apart layers of the onions. Set aside the tight center of each onion. You should get about 5 onion
    cups from each onion.
    Chop the onion you aren’t using for the filling cups into a small dice. You should have about 1 cup for the full
    recipe. Chop the broccoli slaw as well. Add onions and broccoli slaw to frying pan and saute with a little olive
    oil for 2‐3 minutes. Add in low sodium chicken stock, cover, and cook another 5 minutes. Add the
    mushrooms, greens, and spices (Italian seasoning, basil, and red pepper flakes). Continue to cook for another
    5 minutes or so until the greens are completely wilted and mushrooms have darkened. Place in strainer so
    liquid can drain. You can cook this ahead and refrigerate overnight if you wish.
    In a large mixing bowl, add ground turkey, eggs, quinoa and bread crumbs. Add in drained cooked vegetables.
    Mix well into a meatloaf texture.
    Assembly
    Pre‐heat the oven to 425 degrees. Fill each onion cup with meatloaf mixture. Press edges together and wrap
    with 2 slices of bacon each, being sure to cover any exposed onion. Skewer with the 6‐inch skewers to hold
    bacon in place. Place each onion on a cookie rack inside a pan with a 1‐3 inch side to allow bacon fat to drip
    into pan instead of dripping in your oven. Don’t overcrowd the pan, you want to leave plenty of room around
    each onion for the bacon to brown. You may need to do this in several batches depending on the number of
    stuffed onions you are making. Bake 40‐50 minutes, turning once so bacon is brown on all sides. Remove to
    plate. Serve with barbecue sauce if desired (optional).

    Truth Thursday (Here's hoping I'm doing this right.)
    I'm a self-saboteur. I want to lose the weight quickly so badly that I did something dumb today. I had 2 eggs for breakfast and then went to work and didn't eat again until 7:30 when I got home. I should be eating 2000 calories to have a 1000 calorie deficit with my activity level. Then, when I got home, I felt guilty because this is how I made myself sick last time. So, I ate my whole 12 ounces of broccoli that I should have spread out throughout the day, then my 4 ounces of strawberries and 4 ounces of chicken and I feel really bloated, that is way too much fiber at once. There is no way I'm going to get in all my servings of fruit and vegetables today because I decided to be stupid.

    I have mostly caught up on my calories now, but, I had a rough day because of my choices. I know better, but I keep doing stupid things.

    I have a fitbit, I just walk/jog in front of my tv. No treadmill, I just jog backwards and forwards or pace back and forth. I watched 2 hours of TV and got something like 7500 steps just for my TV watching time. :)
    I hate the heat, there is no chance in heck I'm going for a walk in 96 degree weather and muggy humidity. :)
