⚖️WEIGH IN⚖️

Weigh day Monday
Previous weight - 172
Current weight - 173.6

Gained but I know it was because of the alchohol Friday, zero water and drinking soda Saturday, not logging food intake for 3 days.

Yesterday I only ate twice and was craving something sweet but I resisted for weigh in lol I should have just eaten something. I also said that I hit my water goal and logged everything bc I had very intention of posting last night and jumping off of here to log to my diary and chug the last of my water BUT my mom walked in and asked me to help her with something that completely distracted me. Back to it 100% today! 😉

@shaunarlr83 – You’re welcome! I’m super excited to get a post card with a picture of your area! I hope your headache is gone. Hugs again.
@megnolia82 – Nice job with the fitness challenge – Snaps for No Zero Days for you! Wish I had a meditation recommendation for you. Unfortunately, the one I really liked was on Weight Watchers back when I was using that app. Couldn’t find anything close to it later. Loved the man’s voice and pacing.
@Katmary71 – You’re welcome, too! I love making cards and I appreciate that everyone that accepted my invitation didn’t think it was weird when I first mentioned it (because of having to give addresses). And not sure about the asparagus calories…I just know they are a freebie on my Bites program Good luck with the cats!
@sleon225 – Awesome attitude about the teensy tiny gain! Looks like you’re doing a lot of good stuff!
@Brigit42 – Fun getting new crafty stuff, but sad they are going out of business. What did you get? And I’m not really organized in the kitchen. Just finally got motivated
@trooworld – Thanks And you can have a cup of tea any time you please! I have most of my ingredients prepped for the No-fu Love Loaf. I’ll try to remember to take some pics this evening when I make it. I’m sure it’s going to be good because I’ve made recipes of Dreena’s before (I think I have one of her cookbooks, too). I hope your tummy troubles are gone by now.
After making/prepping food last night, I settled down on the couch and figured out all of my food for today minus whatever snack I have this evening. Planning Planning Planning. That is what I simply MUST do to be successful. No more winging it. Added that to my 2023 mantra. I put today’s food in containers that I could just grab in the morning since I am horrible about getting up at a decent time before leaving for work. I had oatmeal for breakfast (used Chai this time…didn’t care for it and had to add a tablespoon of brown sugar to make it palatable), tabbouli with beans and a drizzle of tahini for lunch (seriously filled me up!), salad for my afternoon snack and a banana to eat after PT when I’m driving home. Dinner is already planned – roasted poblanos with bulgur, beans and scorched corn topped with a little guac salsa and fresh lime juice. Still leaves me with plenty of “bites” for a bedtime snack…I’m thinking jam and PB2 on rice cakes with a pot of decaf tea Scrumdiddlyumptious!

@happysquidmuffin if I remember right, you can still be in the group but be more of a cheerleader.

@vegan4lyfe2012 - I loved the bullseye archery story! What a fun experience. And I am also waiting on @Katmary71 to hear how she makes oatmeal savory. I've recently discovered natural nut butters in muffins that make them savory and not sweet, that I wondered if nut butter might make oatmeal savory. I can't wait to hear.

Weigh In Day: Tuesday
PW: 138.2
CW: 139.4

Still below my magic number of 140. I've been eating those delicious nuts. But I go outside and burn extra calories so I can have them. The yard is looking really good. Tomorrow I will go across the creek and work on the other side a bit. I've filled up the green waste can already. Today I trimmed our olive tree bush, it was a tree now it's just a big bush after it was cut down. Olives are very messy. They are like mulberry trees; the birds eat the olives and then poop black stuff all over our cars.

I might not be posting much but I am trying to keep up with everyone. The support here is amazing. Thank you.

@Brigit42 Thank you!

@shaunarlr83 Sorry about the gain but it sounds like you know what you have to do to turn it around.

@happysquidmuffin Thanks for being part of the team and congrats on reaching your goal! @19shmoo69 is right, if you wanted to be a cheerleader and visit on occasion you could. But it sounds like you wouldn't have time for that. For now, @BroncoBuddee, please remove her from our team.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Good luck with teh No-Fu Love Loaf. I hope it turns out well. Thanks, my tummy troubles are better! That's too bad about the chai oatmeal. I hate when things are barely palatable. Sounds like you are eating really healthily. Great job with your no zeros!

@Tamevv Great job with the exercise and water. How'd you do?

@gemwolf110 How was your first week of classes? Congrats again on the job offer.

@askewcr Great job!!!

@Katmary71 It's made by L'Oreal. Yes, they do splatter on the forehead lol, it can be embarrassing if you miss some splats! Thanks, tummy is better today. It sounds like you had a pretty good day, great job with your no zeros!

@AmbersWay Girl, I've fallen off the water wagon and need to get back on! Thanks, I feel better today. It IS easy to fall behind lol. Such a chatty bunch! I love it, don't get me wrong. Key lime cheesecake sounds awesome! Good job resisting it. Enjoy the new laptop and congrats on the no zeros. That's great your kids are so active.

Hi all. I am leaving for a work trip this morning. We are driving, it will take about 5 1/2 - 7 hours to get there. I am driving with my manager. I like her so it should be fun. I'll be gone a week but am taking my scale and my tablet with me so I should be able to keep up here. I woke up in the night with the beginnings of a migraine but it seems to be better now. It's a good reminder to bring my migraine medication! Have a good day.

MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Ate a healthy dinner, drank a little more water than the day before, I tracked everything.

My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."

Classes went great! Aced all assignments! Whoohoo

@vegan4lyfe2012 - I got some ribbons for next years Christmas tree. I like to switch up the decorations a little bit every year so it has a different flavor. I was thinking of getting a sewing machine since they were 50% off but I know I wouldn't use it. I like the idea of making my own clothes but I don't have the interest in sewing.


@FushiaKat - Sounds like your having fun working in the garden!


I'm doing good in eating heathy, food journaling and keeping to 1500 calories. Not doing well with exercising. When the spring comes I'll be working in the garden for five hours a day but in the cold weather I just want to get under the covers and take a nap. LOL

@JenAWhite – Thanks! And I just have to mention that my last name starts with an A…so I’m a JenA, too! Hahaha Never even crossed my mind! Probably because I always go by Jennifer…but still… Hmmm…nut butter in oatmeal. Yeah. I can see (taste) that!
@Tamevv – Hobart Indiana? I’m just a little farther north of there – close to the St. Joseph area, if you’re familiar with the SW corner of Michigan How fun that you shoot, too! And a suggestion for late night dessert cravings, if you like tea. There’s a lot of dessert teas that can take the edge off. Just an idea.
@FushiaKat – Woot Woot for staying below your magic number! And dang to those nasty birds! Hope you have a monthly unlimited membership at a local car wash!
@Jen_967 – You’ve got this!
@gemwolf110 – Woo Hoo!
@Katmary71 – Gotcha! So you’re basically treating oatmeal like any other grain. Nice! And good job on only eating half your Mexican at the restaurant.
@sleepygirl79 – Hang in there! Good job with making better evening decisions.
@trooworld – I am so sorry about the migraine. How awful, especially when you aren’t in the comfort of your own home. I made the No-Fu Love Loaf today (picture below)
@Brigit42 – Fun! What color(s)? Do you have a theme picked out?
Alright, y’all! I got a roll of vegan “toona” and followed Hunter’s recipe and made some lemon pepper toona…OMGoodness! So yummy on my salad! Dressed it with Scarborough Fare EVOO and 25 Year Aged Balsamic

In the meantime, I finally made the No-Fu Love Loaf recipe that @trooworld gave me. Haven’t tasted it yet, tho, because I plan on taking it to my mom’s for dinner this evening. We’ll have it with some taters and mushroom gravy and whatever veggie I can find at her place (most likely canned, but that’s ok). Looks scrumdiddlyumptious!

I hope everyone has a good hump day! Drink your water and eat your veggies!

@trooworld Oh no having a migraine on a work trip sounds terrible, I hope the medication kicks in fast. Talk about a time when you'd really want your own bed!

@Brigit42 Definitely can understand the exercise part and the cold being an issue, I'm starting to think I'm good at being healthy aside of winter. I feel a little better now that the food bank farm stuff is picking up as December and January all I wanted to do was stay in bed as well.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Do you recommend anything different for savory oatmeal than treating it like another grain? I figured that's what a lot of the recipes I read did. I think I just prefer it sweet, I didn't think I'd like overnight ones and did so I figured it was worth a try but don't know if I'd do it again. Your salad and loaf look amazing!

Wow it is quiet here tonight, you're right @vegan4lyfe2012 ! I got up early then worked out and got ready to go for my blood pressure management education class which I really didn't want to go to. It's about 10 miles from here, I got there and tried to relax (driving through the towns with all the lights is hard with my nerve pain in my legs) go in and the person who scheduled it did so in an office 15 miles from there, it was 5 minutes until my appointment when she realized I was at the wrong place (I told the woman it had to be the one near me because I can't drive far). She said I could go and maybe they'd let me in late but I think the whole thing is dumb anyway plus I wouldn't be able to get home so I said I was done and not doing it. Sure you have 5 minutes to go 15 miles and they may not accept you if you're late, that's great for people with blood pressure problems, haha! I stopped at the store and came home. I'm going to lay down and read for a couple hours before bed, have a great Thursday everyone!

No Zeros
Ate fairly healthy and under calories
Drank a good amount of water
Worked out and had a good one!
