Tuesday goals Get my meals prepped so i have some ready to reheat or grab and go foods. I am so busy with getting my dogs walked after work and my step goals...the last couple days i have had several cheat meals :( I will get my butt in gear....fast food is not a constant alternative i should be using. Especially not twice…

Final total 329981 / 310000 What an awesome challenge and achievement. I not only met but surpassed my goal. Yay me!! B) Congrats to everyone who pushed and either met or exceeded their goals in May. :p

@tabletop_joe thanks a bunch. I have all those spices except white pepper. No biggie to substitute more black pepper. Think i will give this a try...and i will search for a premade blend. Just never recall having seen 1 before. And i love allrecipes.com <3 Hmmmm. Feeling totally inspired now. B)

@tabletop_joe oooo that sounds yum. My hubby will love that if i make it for him. He normally cheats when i am down in arkansas and uses a package mix. I live in canada and we dont usually eat that kind of dish. But its delicious. Only question is...i saw the recipe and where do i find creole seasoning. Or what makes up…

@jam5660 hope you find your ring. YIKES!!! i put mine away for now because of the same thing. @Nikion901 sounds like your beef meals were yummy. Dont forget to eat breakfast! And that poor chicken is still waiting for you. :o oh think of all the yummy things you can make with it B) I am sooo jealous! Tuesday goals. 1.…

@Nikion901 LOL yes being by myself at home has taken all my willpower to not overeat when i make extra portions of food. Sometimes i cave....sometimes i have the strength. I missed posting on truth thursday cause i was too embarassed over eating half a pack of bacon before i even made the quiche :( But when i made the…

@Nikion901 Crustless quiche. I simply pan fry some veggies cause raw ones dont really cook good in the oven. This time i used mushrooms onions celery green peppers. I cooked up some.bacon too. Just scramble some eggs in a bowl. Add a bit of milk if you like and some pepper. I didnt add salt this time cause of my bacon and…

@Nikion901 That is what i did. The 1st two weeks i jut had lots of veggies and proteins. Bought cottage cheese, cheese sticks and yogurts for snacks. I stayed at my 1200 calorie goal easy and had no food cravings. Now when ive been reintroducing things. Like some rice (or yesterday it was hot i had ice cream). Oh my the…

@tabletop_joe I wasnt posting the template for you LOL. There were a few other newbies that posted today about thursday truths that i thought might like to join the challenge too ;) By the way....great losses so far. Keep it up!

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…

To all those talking about food. We grew up on vereneki and kilka with farmer sausage of course. Yes vereneki is a pierogi. Kilka is just the noodles. We make portzelky and roll kuchen too. <3 i also like to make cabbage borscht and summer borscht and the cabbage rolls too. I think i may just crockpot some lazy mans…

Tuesday Goals... 1. MUST get some dishes washed!!!! :( 2. Get meals planned, prepared, cooked and portioned. This should be possible after some dishes are washed. 3. Buy a few veggies and groceries if needed for #2 above. 4. Trailer needs to be tidied up. Hubby <3 is coming in 1 month....need to get ready. Try to do a…

@Nikion901 yes i like to eat eggs. Its FREE <3 protein for me and i eat them for breakfast almost every weekday. On weekends when i have to wake up early....ive just been eating yogurt with a string cheese for snack. Variety is key....omlettes loaded with veggies...scrambled with cheese (sometimes bacon bits or sausage…

Wow....we have lost as much weight as a 1 small adult already :o Monday checkin - this weekend i am super tired. Working the farm has been extra hard on me....and silly me I agreed to work today as well so my family could enjoy the long weekend holiday :( I dont yet know how i will make it through the day. But i will do…

LOL also a hater of raw kale. But I actually have a BIG DISLIKE of cooked carrots. Can eat raw ones just fine. But that mushy texture of a fat cooked carrot is just.... :s :s :s If I am going to cook them....i will grate them so they hide in soups or sauces. Thats the only way they can be eaten. :p

Saturday success - well it is close enough to saturday to post anyways LOL. I increased my daily step count this week from 7500 to 10000. Every day but the monday....that is a bit of a slower downtime day after a busy farm weekend...still made 7500 steps that day though. I didnt manage to run the 1km without stopping, but…

Friday fitness and weekend planning. Got a southwest salad - jicama beans corn cilantro red pepper onions cheese and southwest dressing. Was super yummy but had quite a bit of dressing. So i used it as a topping on a bed of greens. Lowered the cost of the prepared salad and made several extra portions. Now i have 2 lunches…

I love cottage cheese plain and i use that for snack times. If you did for breakfast....just chop up some fruit to eat with it. Yum! Dont be afraid of eating the whole egg....can prepare it so many different ways. ;) Greek yogurt with some nuts, oats or fruits is another high protein and yummy choice.

Tuesday goal... Magically hit my 10k step goal...i am only at 2.5k so far today.... Got a few walks to go. Hope its not raining too hard. :p
