@LazyBlondeChef Awe, thank you! I got really discouraged in March so I quit showing up. My Dr. and I have been playing around with switching meds for the last few months. One made my insomnia worse; the last one made me gain weight. I'm off the meds for now; we'll see if I can handle it. But I'm getting tired of dieting to…

@LazyBlondeChef I can do the opener for Sunday April 9 & 23. (Or just 1 day if someone else would like a Sunday.)

Feel free to friend request me.

A great community of non-judgmental, encouraging folks. Give it a try for a month!

That's awesome, good for you! Strength training will be on my list of goals at some point, but with working full-time and taking care of an aged parent who lives an hour away (meaning 2 hours out of the day for travel time plus the visit and errand-running time) doesn't leave me a lot of spare time. Plus I'm an insomniac…

Hello everyone, I hope all is going well for each of you. I checked out for a bit due to looking for a new job (sending out resumes, interviewing, accepting a new position -- I ensured I was organized for the new position as it is back to the office and I started MFP while I worked for home). I'm happy to report that…

No tracking or logging today but yes to exercising. Most likely today was within calorie budget. I am working at getting my life organized and in a good routine. I just finished my first 2 weeks at my new job and back to the office. I am doing well at establishing good routines and habits in spite of my insomnia. I'm…

@Caroline_slowandsteady I just make a "coffee smoothie" by adding some vanilla protein powder and sometimes cashew milk to a strong cold coffee. Then I blend it in my mini blender and either add ice to drink it cold or warm it in the microwave. I wanted to try fasting but since I have low blood sugar, I need something to…

@Caroline_slowandsteady You can google protein coffee recipes. I make a simple one with vanilla protein powder, coffee and sometimes cashew milk. If I'm not in the mood for a smoothie, but need to balance my sugar, I'll drink this instead. I also consider this part of a fast if I'm trying to wait until lunch to eat.
-
Hmm, a typical good day. @Caroline_slowandsteady For me that's a bit tough. I've used various strategies. One was to make a protein coffee to balance my sugar and then "fast" until lunch. (I'm always trying to keep my sugar balanced.) Lately I've been eating breakfast, lunch and dinner with no snacks in between. I no…

May 7/22 Yes x 3 today. Because I'm in a bad state sleeping wise, it's all about preserving my energy. Therefore I am counting food preparation and cleanup as exercise. I'm still developing my "How". Certain things have improved: I'm rarely binging anymore nor emotionally eating. I'm working on identifying and addressing…

@lesdarts180 I will put the treat/snacks outside in the garage fridge. That way they are not calling me every time I open the fridge or cupboard. I am making progress on not eating my husband's and daughter's snacks although 3 weeks ago I ate everyone's treats before they had a chance to taste it themselves (*mental head…

Interesting topic @enlightenme3. When I'm on the wagon, I'm probably a 4-5. I need to be consistent with the program though. Having said that, I have been working on some of my issues and feel I have made progress. I will be going into the office starting Monday (I've been working from home since I started on MFP). We will…

Yes x 3 today (I'm counting my kitchen work today as my minimum intentional exercise until my back and feet heal.) @Caroline_slowandsteady Great job, tyvm for stepping up! @Mrs_Hoffer Happy Birthday, wishing you health and happiness for the next year. I'm happy to hear you are enjoying your time away and that the wedding…
-
@Mrs_Hoffer, Instead of Tues. May 10 & Tues. May 24, could I have Sun. May 8 & Mon. May 23 please?
-
Can't really comment as I don't feel like I have a grip on it. It's harder also when you have young ones in the house and their treats are around and visible. Self control and self discipline aren't really my thing unfortunately. I do try to control Christmas eating which is easier for me because I have time off of work…

Hello fellow UACers. A MFP pal posted this recently and it resonated with me. I thought I would share it with you: A setback means the path you took didn't work out. It does not mean all roads are closed toward your dreams, nor does it invalidate your effort. A beautiful existence blossoms from persistence. Keep moving…

Apr 12; Logged all, no exercise and went over.
