Sorry, gals! I haven't forsaken MFP, but when I use the Food Journal on my phone, I forget to check in the Community section for posts from you! Barb, Glad to hear you are making steady progress on your recovery. And I agree that being fit and active pre-Covid has surely helped your recovery. I consider a goal met to just…

I gained 15# from the end of March (when we "shutdown") until the beginning of July! Yikes! So much senseless grazing. I've lost 2.4# since then, but still too many calories. How were the zucchini waffles? Were you trying to make waffle "fry" substitute?

Listened to the Food Revolution Summit this last week. Lots of info, mostly promoting whole foods plant based, which I do enjoy. Read Bright Line Eating, talks about food addictions, mostly to flour and sugar. Mindless eating, etc. Advocates lots of veggies and a huge salad with dinner, no snacking between meals. Just…

Ugh, just got on the scale after trying to ignore it for too long. I've gained three pounds since the stay at home order went into effect. I'm not at all surprised, since I haven't met my calories goal in weeks, but this just reaffirms that I need to toss the snack food, and buckle down. We've got a wedding in September!

Just mowed my yard since we’re expecting rain tomorrow. Over 3400 steps, and gasping for a cold beverage. I’m all hot and sweaty and JJ is ALL over me! She doesn’t understand why I just spent an hour outside when I could have been playing with her!

I'm working at home 2 days a week, and on the 3 days in the office, there's only about 5% of our population on site. The puppy is loving the out of crate time on the telework days, and she's doing well with housebreaking. Once I sit down at my desk, I'm there all day. I eat there, watch Netflix, etc. I don't have a couch…

I'm working 3 days in the office, two at home each week. (We've got 3 of 8 in the office, all others at home.) Our parking lot of 800 users looks like 4:30 on a Friday night... Too much Netflix, but usually in tandem with crocheting, cooking or dish washing! I was thinking I should finish painting my son's bedroom, but…

Where do you live that it's warm enough to swim?! It's been hovering in the mid 20's here in Indiana!
-
This morning I realized I've only been logging on my phone, but not checking the groups (on my computer.) While I was reading November, you created this 2020! thread! 2019? Didn't lose anything! Lost and gained the same pounds over and over. My average step count is up to 7500/day now. It's been a work in progress! I've…

I was just thrilled to be under my calories for the first time in weeks! I'm headed to Virginia for Thanksgiving, so I will only have to assist the cook! Seeing my son means a trip to Buffalo Wild Wings, but he's way better than me in cooking at home. On Sunday afternoon he batch cooks his lunches for the week. This week…

You can eat a lot of veggies for the same calories as a piece of cheese or meat, for sure.

I've had a few weekends out of town, and too many social events. I hate to see the scale got in THAT direction, but I know what caused it. I know who's to blame. And I know what the solution is!
-
Look at that beautiful lady! So happy! Did you meet your goals for the race? I'm sure you set times to beat and such every time...
-
A progress report! 1. Average step count is 6580! Had 5 days when I didn't even hit 6000, but have 5 over 8000! 2. Still working on staying within calories. Planning meals to eat at home, and no more sad eating. Kid is NOT going to France this semester, but we're over the sad and frustrated and have moved to mad and…
-
I've been logging everyday, but not always staying within the calorie goals. Kid was supposed to go to France on the 7th, but we've had delays with his student visa (and the fact that they have his passport!) Lots of emotional eating this week. Was already mourning his departure, but this has just drug it out even longer!…

Have you ever seen a bear when you're out there?

Oh, I totally wiped out that loss this past weekend! Spent it with my side of the family. All we did was eat and play lawn games. Had to take laps around the soy bean field to get some steps in! I know that being home, back on a routine, with normal meals and activities it'll come back off. My son leaves for France in a…

I don't know if I could face broccoli that early in the day! I weighed myself early this week, because I have to get up too early tomorrow and get on the road. (Yay family weekend!) Anyway, I'm down another 2.5#! While I'm thrilled, I'm skeptical! I almost don't want to update my profile, and want to wait to see if it…

I'm trying to increase my Whole Foods plant based meals. Just because Oreos and Classic Lay's potato chips are vegan, doesn't mean they equal a healthy diet! The sodium alone is enough reason to stop relying on processed foods. I'm too cheap to throw out food though, so trying to use up items I already have, while getting…
-
I'm working on my step goal, as a way of increasing my daily activity. Making a bigger effort to eat at home. I'm attending Vegetarian SummerFest with my step mom this weekend. She and my dad were vegan for many years. Now that he's passed, I think she's not as strict, but still no meat of course. I'm the only one of my…

I like to add diced/cubed zucchini to my chili. Gives the same texture as beans, for a lot less carbs!
-
I'm all about trying to fit in more veggies! And we are about to be overrun with zucchini...
-
Zucchini pancakes? What is the zucchini subbing in for? I only ate out twice last week, but we did have Chinese take out at home one night. I ordered a pint of chicken and broccoli and egg drop soup. I did not eat the crunchy noodles that came with the soup, and saved half of the chicken and broccoli for a second meal.

Happy Mother's Day to you!

I log everything, that doesn't stop me from going over! I found an entry for Humalog, the mealtime insulin I use. I log it too, in case the endo has questions about anything.
-
That’s awesome! I managed to average 4500 steps in April and took the little dog for walks about 20/30 days. He’s started pestering me in the evenings, he likes his walks!
-
How often do you do races? Once a month during the season?
-
Grrrr! I was doing so much better sticking to my calories goals, then BAM! 6-700 calories over the last two days. That's what happens when I buy potato chips. I have no will power when I start eating them. The next time I have a craving I'll buy one of those little single serve bags at Walmart. When they're gone, they're…
-
I'd love to have the whole setup, CGM, insulin pump. I'd have to stab myself about 80% less than I do now! I gotta get my kid to France and back this next school year before I have the money to pay my portion of the setup costs though.
-
You got this! Can't wait to hear about your race results!
