Hi everyone, Still tired from the trip. Ran all day trying to catch up. Not a particularly good day. Tomorrow I will try harder to be more attuned to me and getting my exercise and eating right. @cbabie - I feel for you trying to settle into your new work environment. Hopefully in a few months you will be settled and feel…

This week I walked/peddled 11.6 miles. The wedding is now over and we are home, so I can get back to the business of looking after me.

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all well. @trooworld - I can't wait to try your black bean burgers, they sound awesome. @gemwolf110 - Your fur babies are beautiful. @cbabie - I really needed a timely reminder about making sure I am hitting my protein goals, so I don't over eat. Your post was a great reminder, thank you.…

Hi ladies, @bugmom92 - 2nd - 4th graders, kids are really neat at the age. I hope that cold leaves you soon. I am sure you are sick of it (no pun intended). I am looking forward to the chili recipe too. It is getting cold enough up here (MN) so that chili will be an awesome meal. @gemwolf110 - I had to smile about your…

Good morning ladies, Today is a new day and a new month. Yesterday was ugly with my eating. I know that it is the stress of this trip to TX. I am bingeing (sp) for comfort, I know that it is self defeating, at 51 I know better. :s I am tracking EVERYTHING EVERYDAY that I am eating and that was one of my goals for Oct. I…

I'd like to take up this challenge. I can't wait to get started. :)

I am not sure how many pots and pans the recipes in this book uses. I bought it for my son last year and he likes a lot of the recipes. Eat Your Vegetables: Bold Recipes for the Single Cook By Joe Yonan

One of the things that is a big help to me is prepping all my veggies as soon as I get home from the grocery. Then through the week I can grab a handful raw for lunch or snack or throw together a quick stir fry for supper or steamed on the side or whatever. It saves me a lot of time during the week and it makes it easy to…

Hi Ladies, I hope everyone had a good Monday. I didn't get in my exercise and my eating has been crap today. I will get up tomorrow and do better. I hope everyone has a good Tuesday.

Hi Ladies, @lore11a - I used the same recipe as theslightedgeforever. I used 1 T less of oil and tossed the oil, spices, and cauliflower in a gallon zip lock to get the coating more even. I should have left the cauliflower in the oven longer to get it more crispy. But it was a nice change of menu. I got 51 minutes of my…

Are you an OTR truck driver?

This week I peddled/walked 19.5 miles. We leave for TX for the wedding on Thursday, I have been slammed getting ready. I have been a little over on my calories daily but am logging everything so I don't feel too bad about it.

Evening ladies, @cbabie - Go cbabie, you can do it! @lore11a - Hubby came home and I didn't get to try the nachos, he is leaving out tonight so I will make them tomorrow and let you know how it went. I did not get my hour of exercise in again today. Three days - I must do it tomorrow. I had a victory of another sort…

The hardest thing is coming to terms about your eating habits. How you decide to eat to lose weight has to be sustainable to keep the weight from coming back. I am a work in progress, it is taking time, but I will get to my goal. There are certain things that I over eat and I now avoid them. My husband told me to not think…

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is going to do at least one fun thing this weekend. @theslightedgeforever - I'm sorry, I had to chuckle about your MIL. I used to have an uncle that kept his teeth in his bib overall pocket. He would put them in at the table and back in his pocket when he was through. @cbabie - I managed to to…

Hi ladies, @cbabie -Hang in there I will keep you in my prayers. @theslightedgeforever - I am going to try the cauliflower nachos tomorrow. I did not get my hour of exercise and I am over on my calories tonight. One of those days. I did get my dentures, my kids say they look good. It will take awhile to get used to them. I…

PB2 is the best! The PB2 chocolate is even better. That said it isn't oily or thick like real peanut butter. I really like it though. Amazon has a good deal on both.

Good morning, @theslightedgeforever and @gemwolf110 - Thank you for for the encouragement. @cbabie - I am sorry about your fall. I once went through a time when life was hectic and stressful and I was having accidents and injury, someone told me that I need to slow down, learn to say no, and figure out what was important…

Hi everyone! @theslightedgeforever -The cauliflower nachos look amazing. I need to go get another head of cauliflower to try it out. @trooworld - The ramen looks yummy. Is there a special recipe your hubby uses? Yesterday I kept within my calories. Today I got my exercise in. My goal today is to keep within my calories and…

@theslightedgeforever -I am glad it turned out. I will have to make a crock pot full some time this week. I really need to get some quinoa an try cooking with it. I have had it a few times and I really don't know what to think of it. I spoke to soon last night about staying on track with eating. My youngest daughter (16)…
