I can't believe I shared that.
Its funny you say this because sometimes, i will have weak moments when i buy things i should not eat. so i put it in water, because if i just toss it, i will get it out and eat it. LOL.
-_-
I actually did that with cheesecake the other week
.
I ate almost all of the cheesecake in one sitting & threw the rest in a plastic zip close bag in the trash. Awhile later I took it out of the trash & ate the rest haha.
So embarrassing to actually confess that one LOL!
You must have semi thought you would do that our you wouldn't have put it in a plastic bag.
True haha.
Today I didn't exercise for Lent, but I am still counting it since I pushed carts at work for around 10-15 minutes.
I still haven't bought any processed snacks or had ice cream. It is getting harder now that the Easter candy is starting to appear, but I will stay strong & not buy any.
I have been doing good the last few days. I hope I can keep it up when I get home!
You would be proud of me today considering what I gave up for Lent!
The struggle was real.
I walked down our store's Easter Candy aisle & salivated over all of the Easter Candy (not literally of course). I picked up a package of the Mini Cadbury Eggs & sniffed their chocolate goodness. Thank God no one saw me do that or that would be quite embarrassing. I didn't buy a damn thing
. The Carrot Cake Hershey Kisses & M&M Sundae flavor looked good.
I then went to Giant & only bought 2 Pineapple Cottage Cheese & a frozen Evol meal I've wanted to try forever. No processed snack/junk foods were bought.
You should've seen me at the ice cream aisle. I probably stood their five minutes staring at all of the new flavors! I know where I am going after Lent is over. So many new brands & flavors.
Yay! Now...do me a favor don't undo everything the day after easter. Learn new good habits.
Yeah after Lent I am only buying one or two ice creams & then finishing them & then buying more. I am not going to hoard food/snacks like I did before since all the choices can be overwhelming when you're looking for a snack in the cupboard.
Yes but maybe buy 1 a week and make that treat day? Or 2 days a week?
Most of the ice creams/gelatos I buy are pints that are around (four servings per container).
Limit 1 per 2 weeks? Just trying to be helpful!
That's what I'll probably end up doing.
I'm not sure I'll buy any Easter Candy to be honest. I might buy a package of Peeps to roast on a campfire, but none of the candies have really called out to me. The only Easter Candy I might buy a few of are the Russell Stover Eggs.
The only new food item that's not ice cream that I might try once Lent is over is the new Oreos that are supposed to taste like a cupcake. I wish Oreos would come out with sample size packs of all the new flavors that way you don't have to buy a whole pack.
I made sure I squeezed in a workout today even though I didn't feel like doing one. Just Dance for the win! My three year old niece even tried to dance. It was funny/cute.0 -

Yea Kelly that took ALOT of will power. I don't know how you did it. I would have to avoid those isles because things just jump into my cart.
That's what usually happens to me! Those evil grocery fairies that follow you around the store & knock in the good treats.
I noticed I used the wrong there in my original post *smacks head*
The Pineapple Cottage Cheese was really good! I might have to go back & pick up a few more of those.
Tomorrow I am planning on using up some of my Cashew milk, Dole Frozen Cherries, & two tablespoons of Hershey's Cocoa Powder, & 8 grams of Xanthan Gum to make a smoothie.
Sounds good.
I love frozen blueberries sprinkled with Stevia or sweet n low and then Cashew milk poured over them. Just stir it around a bit and the milk starts to freeze over the berries. I just eat it out of the bowl with a spoon. I use strawberries instead of blueberries sometimes too and add the cocoa.
Yum that sounds good too!
I just remembered I have a few cases left of the Diet Cream soda that I could put in the freeze for a few minutes to get a zero calorie ice cream like treat.0 -
I've been sad all the time lately for no reason. I'm going to see my favorite band with my girlfriend tomorrow. How could I not be happy and excited right now? :x blah.
Also, my confession is that I ate an entire bag of popcorn today.0 -

Ugh...3:30 can't get here soon enough.
Ugh! Are you feeling better now?
Some. Until I try to read then the eye pressure comes back. It's similar to the lack of fine motor control I still suffer from occasionally. Except it is right sided and the motor control problems are always on the left. It's disconcerting, but as I said, not unexpected. My neurologist tools me when I was 7 that I could die if I hit my head in the wrong spot and that any hard hit would cause issues. I have been fortunate that this is the first problem I have had really. I hit that door frame pretty hard, but on the left side of my head.
Ouch! Will keep you in my prayers for a relaxing weekend free of pain.0 -

I have that. I swear by that for a cold. Usually peppermint tea knocks a headache right out for me. No luck today. I ended up leaving work at 10:30 because my vision was getting blurred in the right eye. I cam home went to sleep, felt better but it's blurring again as I try to read. This is a post-concussion headache from an almost 40 year old brain injury. I took a piece of broken curb to the temple and was comatose for a day and a half. ( bike wreck) a few weeks ago, I hit my head on a door frame because I leaned over to pick something up off the floor and had a back spasm. It hurt for most of a day and I have known ever since that this would come. I don't think I recall it ever starting with feeling so cold before. That's something I will have to watch out for and see if it's a fluke or a new sign of imminent pain. Off here to rest my eyes guys. Love you all for caring.
Oh please take care of yourself. When I am feeling sick and want a hot drink Traditionally medicals has a Gypsy cold care tea that is very tasty and makes me feel better. It helps a stuffy nose too.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »I should have stayed home today. I woke up freezing and feeling blah. Now I am freezing and feel like there's an ice pick n my right temple.

I am still good on the vegan part. There were a few sketchy things that probably had dairy in them this part week but I am not going to stress about it. The weekend is always good exercise but I did blow my streak yesterday. Went back to bed rather than exercise.0 -

It drives my husband nuts because he's more laid back.
I own all the jd Robb books, including the short stories.

If it keeps up, I will, but I feel better this morning. I'll report back after my trip to the gym, but it seems pretty typical for my post-concussion headaches. I won't be doing much reading this weekend for sure, but I have had these since I was 7. Almost 40 years. They aren't really frequent and they last 24-48 hours and unless I am trying to read -which my job requires - they don't really interfere with my daily life. Thanks for being concerned about me.0 -

I might need to skip my exercise everyday in Lent since I was limping a bit at work.0 -

That is a bummer what did you do to yourself?
I don't find going vegan hard in terms of missing food (I mostly eat vegan anyway and have been vegetarian for 20+ years) it's when you are starving and everything you look at has some kind of daily product in it that gets tough. I am going to try to start to cook for myself (maybe) that will help.0 -

Its funny you say this because sometimes, i will have weak moments when i buy things i should not eat. so i put it in water, because if i just toss it, i will get it out and eat it. LOL.
-_-
I actually did that with cheesecake the other week.
I ate almost all of the cheesecake in one sitting & threw the rest in a plastic zip close bag in the trash. Awhile later I took it out of the trash & ate the rest haha.
So embarrassing to actually confess that one LOL!
You must have semi thought you would do that our you wouldn't have put it in a plastic bag.
True haha.
Today I didn't exercise for Lent, but I am still counting it since I pushed carts at work for around 10-15 minutes.
I still haven't bought any processed snacks or had ice cream. It is getting harder now that the Easter candy is starting to appear, but I will stay strong & not buy any.
I have been doing good the last few days. I hope I can keep it up when I get home!
You would be proud of me today considering what I gave up for Lent!
The struggle was real.
I walked down our store's Easter Candy aisle & salivated over all of the Easter Candy (not literally of course). I picked up a package of the Mini Cadbury Eggs & sniffed their chocolate goodness. Thank God no one saw me do that or that would be quite embarrassing. I didn't buy a damn thing. The Carrot Cake Hershey Kisses & M&M Sundae flavor looked good.
I then went to Giant & only bought 2 Pineapple Cottage Cheese & a frozen Evol meal I've wanted to try forever. No processed snack/junk foods were bought.
You should've seen me at the ice cream aisle. I probably stood their five minutes staring at all of the new flavors! I know where I am going after Lent is over. So many new brands & flavors.
Yay! Now...do me a favor don't undo everything the day after easter. Learn new good habits.
Yeah after Lent I am only buying one or two ice creams & then finishing them & then buying more. I am not going to hoard food/snacks like I did before since all the choices can be overwhelming when you're looking for a snack in the cupboard.
Yes but maybe buy 1 a week and make that treat day? Or 2 days a week?
Most of the ice creams/gelatos I buy are pints that are around (four servings per container).
Limit 1 per 2 weeks? Just trying to be helpful!
That's what I'll probably end up doing.
I'm not sure I'll buy any Easter Candy to be honest. I might buy a package of Peeps to roast on a campfire, but none of the candies have really called out to me. The only Easter Candy I might buy a few of are the Russell Stover Eggs.
The only new food item that's not ice cream that I might try once Lent is over is the new Oreos that are supposed to taste like a cupcake. I wish Oreos would come out with sample size packs of all the new flavors that way you don't have to buy a whole pack.
I made sure I squeezed in a workout today even though I didn't feel like doing one. Just Dance for the win! My three year old niece even tried to dance. It was funny/cute.
I am still good on the vegan part. There were a few sketchy things that probably had dairy in them this part week but I am not going to stress about it. The weekend is always good exercise but I did blow my streak yesterday. Went back to bed rather than exercise.
You deserve a rest. What's the hardest to give up when you go Vegan?
I might need to skip my exercise everyday in Lent since I was limping a bit at work.
That is a bummer what did you do to yourself?
I don't find going vegan hard in terms of missing food (I mostly eat vegan anyway and have been vegetarian for 20+ years) it's when you are starving and everything you look at has some kind of daily product in it that gets tough. I am going to try to start to cook for myself (maybe) that will help.
I am thinking it's from playing Just Dance the past two days, sleeping on my leg wrong, or standing on my feet for around 7-8 hours a day. I might just walk for my exercise during the rest of Lent.
That would be hard as far as finding food that is animal friendly & can fit into your overall diet. Do you have a lot of restaurants near you that are vegan friendly?0 -
I do good with my diet until i lose inches/weight or manage not to gain weight then go off course eating double my daily calories for a week only to gain weight. Ive been doing this since June and have gained 40 pounds because of it.0
