Round 54 (#18) I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true.

Finally got around to using the SBMI calculator. Interesting results... Below is bullet points of results: BMI = 23 Health aspects Your weight is at the level that, in our view, should be optimal for health. By classification of the WHO, you are “normal weight". SBMI = 34/70 This assessment is based on the newly developed…

My routine to a T. Lol. Small changes can have a profound affect. My journey has been about sustainable change and enjoying my life. It's not a race because there really isn't a finish line.

I've been stuck in a rut and in need of change. This is not a good place for me because it leads to impulse shopping and/or boredom eating. I decided to redirect my energy with a positive distraction. End result, I ruthlessly purged my closets and dresser of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that doesn't fit, flatter, or make me…

@denswrex Let me know how it turns out. I'm always interested in new recipes. :) Currently I'm enjoying the quinoa chili I made. I cook enough to have leftover for work week meals. @deepwoodslady My body is perfectly happy and healthy with 6 (summer) or 7 (winter) hours of sleep. I only sleep more if I'm ill, have a…

@denswrex try this one. It’s one of the few that don’t call for brown sugar. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/221041/wine-braised-beef-brisket/?internalSource=similar_recipe_banner&referringId=57264&referringContentType=Recipe&clickId=simslot_2

@LizzyinWA Welcome! I can relate. When I tried Keto I was constantly fighting cravings and losing each battle. Ultimately increased my body fat by several pounds before I called it quits. Whole foods and moderation is more sustainable for me.

@quiltingjaine Very true wich is why I use a dumbbell. No additional weight, just the actual dumbbell, so I get an idea how accurate the scale is. Frankly, no scale is perfect therefore I use it as a measuring tool and track the trend.

@denswrex I never feel comfortable in a bathing suit. NEVER. I do not like how my thighs jiggle, the elastic cuts into the tissue at the top of my legs, and my abdomen is full of scars from pregnancy. I haven't work a bathing suit in 20 years. Go rock that bikini!

@ssssanaaaa Definitely purchase an accurate scale. I like to read as many reviews as possible before buying. I've even brought a heavy item that I can test the accuracy with, lol. (a 20 lb dumbbell) Yes, the number on your scale may or may not be accurate, the important thing is that you are showing a downward trend which…

@tiabirdie56 I bet that would make a nice hot drink after I get off of work. When it gets cooler I crave hot milk or cocoa. I've tried subbing almond, flax, and light coconut milk; it's just not the same. Cocoa is loaded with sugar, unless I make it from scratch, but after work that isn't going to happen. Lol

@Snowflake1968 Please accept my sincerest apologies for not catching the inappropriate autocorrect of "fat loss." I was mortified when I spotted it. I'm a comfort food person. Stew, chili, lasagna, pasta, and more. I've managed to tweak recipes so the calories are a lot less per serving. I've also substituted rice/noodles,…

@denswrex Try @tiabirdie56 's parsley water for flushing out the excess water.

@cdavisdeva Woo-Hoo! Outstanding achievement! (yesterday's post) I've made plenty of meals out of binge food. Lol. @Snowflake1968 Have you discovered the roadblock to your fat loss (correction) progress? If so let us know; I'm confident we can help with some suggestions.

It's water. The body isn't able to metabolize calories into measurable fat loss or gain that quickly. Actual weight/fat loss or gain is measurable as a trend over time.

@quiltingjaine it definitely is allergies, seasonal and contact. Since menopause, I've developed allergies to most everything, cosmetics, soaps, fragrance, hair products, moisturizers, you name it. It's a never ending source of frustration. Then there's the weather... My eyes water if it's windy and/or cold. You can…

@quiltingjaine My eyes water all day every day, right more than left. The upper lid of my right eye has been chapped for months. Itches, burns, and looks like hell.
