I have that issue from food allergies. The docs love me because I am always the unusual case. Best I've ever felt is when I did the rotation diet and allergy shots. It's worth looking into. It's a pain and not exactly convenient. When I start to feel bad enough I flip back to it Wanna be vegan here. Having a General Tso's…

The next 5 pounds which will put me in the 180s. And I would like to be one size down comfortably not squished by Christmas. I'm pretty disappointed with myself right now. On Friday it will be one year of going to the gym. HIIT Class, Zumba, Spin and the machines when I don't have classes. I averaged 3x a week. Granted one…

HIIT class tonight

The length of time of my potty party when the scale did not reflect my consistency, discipline and commitment. I missed one 55 minute walk and then I jumped back in with my AM Yoga before work and Hiit class that evening. That's a victory because the old me would have thrown in the towel and let the number on the scale…

55 min walk while the remnants of Hurricane Barry came through. My umbrella broke and I was happy to be out of the house. Hubby had a towel ready for me when I got home and then we did our AM Yoga dvd by Rodney Yee. Tomorrow hopefully life will be back to normal. Walk and AM Yoga in the morning, HIIT class in evening.

Definitely a success.

I used to do that when I had to travel for work. I'd bring my bullet to the hotel. I forgot about that. Thanks.

I did carry an epipen because I used to have major reactions all the time and spent a lot of time in the ER as a child, teenager and college student. That was before the days of Benadryl. I carry Benadryl with me all the time now. I'm 57 now (can't stand the senior label) and haven't had a BAD reaction in a few years,…

Hour long walk at 5:15 am to beat the heat and humidity. By the end that humidity is definitely there and you're soaking wet even at 6:15 am. Love going in the morning or right at sunset. The changes in the clouds and especially in the morning you start out and all is quiet then the birds start singing and by the end…

Thanks everyone. Appreciate your insights. I'm still at the beginning stages. Will definitely take in your suggestions.
-
Thanks. Will definitely check it out.

Usually it's my fingers that get puffy not my ankles. And no it's every now and then which could also be allergies and not just sodium. Blood pressure was fine last time. May be a stupid question but here goes: So sodium won't affect cholesterol?

We are in the Deep South. It's 9 PM and still 85 degrees with 90% humidity. Definitely hot climate. Our a/c went out last week. It was not pleasant. My daughter just said. "It's cold in here" Lol We're at. 77 thanks to a/c!
-
Thank you for the great ideas. I will incorporate them in this weeks menu! Hubby loves salad and he loves bread. So that would definitely work.

Can you share your taco seasoning recipe? You sound like a pro! Looking forward to the day when this is second nature. Finally got first 10 pounds gone!

We had a nutritionist look at our food choices because I need to loose a significant amount 50-70 pounds and hubby needs to gain just as much. She suggested limiting "added" sugars to 5 grams. I can still have fruit and veggies. In the end she said she didn't have the expertise to help hubby gain the weight. We were going…

Hi guys - thanks for the replies. I do eat meat but it doesn't make my body feel good so I would prefer to be plant based just haven't gotten there yet. From previous allergy doctors it may be the nitrates/nitrites that give me tummy issues. The last time we tried hubby started loosing weight & my 88 yr. old father in law…

Thanks I will play with it this weekend. We finally aren't booked solid so I should have some kitchen time. I have a chocolate protein powder that is too malted milk ball tasting for a shake, I bet it will be perfect for the bar. There's also a recipe for energy balls that I make that the Hershey's cocoa could probably be…

I met with a nutritionist on Friday and she suggested a protein bar that's 200 calories and has 5 or less grams of sugar. Apparently after looking at our weekly menu she thinks I am definitely not getting enough protein and was eating too many carbs. So now I have been eating a snack either protein bar or protein shake…

Beach vacation coming up, my son is getting married in January & I want to make him proud but mainly to get my biometric screening numbers in the right range in November. I am 57. The age my Dad was when he had a heart attack. Within one year after the heart attack the doctors said they couldn't even tell he'd had one. He…

Sorry - allergic - no can do.

The reason I say protein is because when I used to have the shaky problem when I was on an allergy rotation diet the Dr. and the nutritionist told I probably wasn't getting enough protein and told me to add nuts (the ones I wasn't allergic to) to my oatmeal and have cheese for a snack. That was years ago so I'm sure things…

Only eat when we're stopped at a light or crawling - not on the interstate.
-
Sounds yummy but I don't think that's going to get the weight off. Lol
-
So more cardio since cardio burns more calories but still do strength training. I am terrible at Math. I go every day for one hour. Either HIIT, Spin, Zumba or alternate days between 30 minutes cardio 30 minutes machines and alternate upper machines one day/ lower body machines next. On the weekend I do a full body workout…
-
Yep. Learned about weighing food and portion control in WW. And about writing every bite, lick and taste. Will read your links too. Can never have too much knowledge. I texted my Zumba instructor at the gym to see if she has any ideas or if they have a food plan. Reading up on the water. Thanks for the info. That's a weak…

My rest day this week was 3 hours of weeding the garden. Didn't go to the gym though. Lol Love my garden. It's been rough to get going this spring due to the torrential rains every weekend. Thankfully this weekend was absolutely gorgeous!

I ended up with a salad, Eggplant parmesan and 2 bites of Tiramisu with ice tea.
