Right now, I only go out once every couple of weeks because of Covid concerns and usually for breakfast. I typically allow myself to choose what appeals from the menu ... then adjust the rest of my day accordingly so I stay under my daily goal. Prior to pandemic, I usually checked out the menu online to narrow down my…

@mari_moulin I do have the seasoning: Everything but the Bagel. I get it from WalMart with my grocery delivery. It does have sodium in it. By using it, I do reduce salt usage. I've used it on my Fish and on salads and do enjoy it on them. I LOVE salt! In my family, we salted everything. Salt when cooking, salt when eating.…

I'm so sorry you experienced such a sad time. Please take comfort in knowing your presence meant the dog did not have to pass alone. You gave love and comfort to him in his time of need. Bless you for staying with him so he knew he was loved.

Sending all my good thoughts for your husband's relief from vertigo. After I had major surgery, I ended up with a "touch" of vertigo. It typically happens when I tip my head back -- changing ceiling light bulb, washing my hair in the shower, etc. So, I've had to learn to be really careful to do those tasks. Mine is usually…

This is the layman's brief description -- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables…

I have compromised lungs so am also unable to do aerobic exercise. When Mari started showing the chart to convert minutes into steps, I realized I could do steps in 5 minute chunks. Yea!! I really like the Leslie Sansone walking videos on YouTube. The one I am currently using is called -- 1.0 Mile Happy Walk | Walk at Home…

@amyjzed Welcome!!

@Snowflake1968 YES!!! Exactly!! Sometimes I crave salty / crunchy, other times sweet / salty, other times ICE CREAM!! Luckily my chocolate addiction and my Coke addiction have mostly gone away ... so a once a month treat is workable for those. I think I'm ok on the ice cream because I allow myself a Popsicle Fudgesicle as…

Mostly I try to cook one-two portion meals so I don't have much in leftovers. However, once in a while I do want a beef or pork roast ... and then have to deal with managing leftovers, especially since I don't typically freeze them. I use a site called -- https://skinnytaste.com/ -- for recipes. I can depend on them being…

Not snacking ever may lead to over-indulgence ... at least I find it does. So a planned snack may work better; or a "healthy" unplanned snack. I find inspiration at a site called -- https://skinnytaste.com/ --- usually, I scan for recipes then adapt them to fit my needs. I also like their meal planning tab. I find it…

OK, so July is done ... and between the gains and losses, I basically stayed the same. JHRC!!! So, I've been kicking the dirt all around my July goals and have tweaked them for August. Hoping for a better month!
