You don't want to stress your kidneys If I suddenly started drinking that much my kidneys would think I was trying to drown them!

Initially I was going to do the kettlebell stuff, but until my back heals...I think I am going to leave that off my list. 1. PT begins soon, so am going to use that for the strength exercise and try to strengthen the glutes and whatever else is attached to the SI joint from hell. 2. Goal is to work up to 2 bottles of water…

@drags59 Like Gayle, I will binge on crunchy snacks if I package them myself. Wish I had your willpower! In this instance, it's not about willpower, it is more about ulcerative colitis. And I have learned not to binge as the end result just freaking bites!

Hey if you go to www.calorielab.com and click on calories burned, there is a huge list in there for basically life. Although I did find one thing that wasn't listed, standing, pacing, typing while attached to a headset at work. Finally went for light walking around the office, but there should be something for pacing back…

Sounds like we are the exact opposite on this one.

Charlie, Did you notice whether the absence of your two morons had dissipated your stress level at all?

Plus there are a ton of 100 calorie pack items to buy (almonds, cookies and other snacks) Yes, but purchasing things already parceled out into 100 calorie packets can be expensive. If I am going to do that, it is cheaper to buy bulk and do the parceling out myself. What I am trying to do is only take enough to work to keep…

So I've been thinking that I don't need to take as much food with me to work as I usually do, I took an entrée, yogurt, water and the Isopure. By 3pm, I was starving, so I wander over to 7-11 with brownies in mind and then after reading the label settle on the peanuts. May have to rethink what I take to work, maybe it is…

Yeah I wondered about that, couldn't figure out if that was how much you had lost or something else.

What kind of work are you in Charlie? I'm with you though on the folks that go to work to do everything but. I work in a call center and am somewhat hearing impaired, hearing aid in one ear, blah, blah, blah. Up until this last year, I mostly sat by myself and was perfectly happy with that, but then they rearranged the…

Yeah it still takes money...do dah do dah

If I didn't have the dogs, I'm not sure I ever would have ventured out of the house on a walk. But I really enjoy watching their personalities mingle on a walk. Austin is so happy to be hooked up to a leash and he stops to sniff leaves and sticks on the sidewalk. And I now know what dog lives where and usually take treats…

Gayle do you ever do the 9 health fair? Except for this year, I have been going since 2006 I think...this year I couldn't force myself out of bed at the crack of dawn. But I always do the blood tests because in 2008, we discovered I had a blood disease and the platelets that should have been around 270,000 to 450,000 were…

Oh and now that I have been here a month or so, I want a fitbit!!!
-
Yeah that's true. I've been trying to fit myself into MFP's idea of what I should eat to lose, but having a hard time doing so. For instance, if I eat just half of the Jimmy Dean mac and cheese bowl that I have fallen in love with. I cannot eat or drink another thing for close to 2 to 3 hours as I am full. But that only…
-
I know where quick add is, just didn't know what it was used for. And personally, I am not going to eat up to the 1290 calories just because mfp says I should if I am literally full. That is partially what got me into this mess in the first place.
-
Before the bypass, the nurses kept saying you need to stop eating so much and I was honestly trying to cut it down, but it felt like I was hardly eating and was starving all the time. After the bypass was when I realized what the heck they were talking about, I couldn't even eat a whole boiled egg. So I basically had to…

I am a chocolate feign as well, usually at work when the stress level is climbing. I have managed for the most part to get the chocolate from the Kind bars. They have a lot of flavors: Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate, Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan, Dark Chocolate Mocha Almond, Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate…

What exactly are quick calories and do they mean the same thing in everyone's food diary? Now that I am finally getting more water in said body, I am finding it harder to get 1290 calories in said body at the same time. Mostly I focus on the protein and sugar sometimes to the detriment of the fat. But getting the protein…

Scales: I have a BalanceFrom Smart Step-on Technology And I totally like it, especially when it weighs me in low! Got it off of Amazon and the reason I preferred it is because 1) it has large numbers and 2) it lights up in the dark. 3) it has a warranty. Due to inflammation in my SI joint, I have had to curtail the…

Believe in myself!

Hmmmm, maybe who knows. It's like when you are driving to work and you are worrying that you're going to be late; I purposely do not look at the clock as it just creates more angst which creates more stress. I think I have learned that worrying at something that I cannot change only creates more stress for me. So even…
-
I've also learned that I must not close out my diary early in the day, even if I think I know what I'm having for dinner and evening snacks. Some part of me thinks I can start on the new day I think. @Gayle This is part of the reason why I changed the diary to time frames as opposed to breakfast, lunch, supper. When it is…

Ya know I don't think I even register stress until I am overwhelmed, that's about the only time I really notice it. I suppose that can be both good and bad.

I have water with me all the time: in the truck, on my desk at work, in my backpack, on the crate next to the computer at home; it is always there if I become thirsty. I never seem to be thirsty. Before the bypass, I used to drink water to help wash down whatever I ate but I can no longer do that as there is not the…
-
@Gayle Yeah I know drinking water will help to slough off the pounds. When I was sick in November, I craved water and lost 12 pounds...so I know it has much to do with the weight loss. It also speeds up your metabolism and makes you feel full. And yet knowing all that, doesn't get it down my throat... @Lill I agree the…
-
Welcome Cclill, you found the right place! Let the fun begin! At the moment, my goal is to actually drink water...the pounds come later.
