pizza Thursday! A slice of Roman pizza after yoga. I hope hope hope they have the spicy pizza again. Love me some Calabrian peppers!

When my husband retired, the first six months, he sat in front of the TV, channel flipper in hand. He doomflipped decades before doomscrolling was ever a thing. Day 1 of the seventh month, I walked in, rudely snatched the flipper out of his hand and told him,”Get up! You’re not going to sit here and rot like your father…

Ok this is very similar to pranayama in yoga. Most my instructors do some form of these as a warm up before going into flow. We do it both to relax and focus prior to vinyasa, and to warm the body to prepare. Sounds like a combo of ujjayi breath and fire breath. We also -very occasionally-do the alternate nostril…

….off to google Tibetan Tummo. Which, spellchecker wants to call Tibetan Tummi. Golly, @AnnPT77 you sure come up with some arcane material! BTW a podcast I listened to yesterday mentioned that a very high % of Buddhist monks in Thailand are obese. “Parishioners” (not sure of the correct term here) gift them their best…

there’s a really interesting study, which was quite extensive (32,000+ participants) and done over a number of years which just hit the news in the last day or two. They’ve concluded that a 15 minute (minimum) walk provides far more health benefits than just getting a bunch of steps in. This was the top non-monetary link I…

I’m on a scone kick, too!!!!! I’d eat the wonderful red velvet muffins that I just discovered the coffee shop has. I daydream about them. Sooooo good, but I figure 700+ calories, so they’ve got to be just an occasional treat. I can do it if I cut out an afternoon snack, but, do I want to? 😩

when I lost a substantial amount of weight, I went from always being hot to always being chilled. Even now, in the 60’s, I wear socks and a fleece robe over my clothes around the house. Anything under 60, i need gloves to go outdoors. My personal experience has been, with low body fat, you simply don’t have the insulation…

@mtaratoot sorry, being facetious. I also volunteer extensively at a local museum. Dropped a couple other volunteer gigs when we started traveling more. I’ve got needlepoint on the brain because I’ve been a little off color the past week or so, and have just been resting and enjoying some sofa time, and have to keep my…

have water again! Last night made beef and chicken street style tacos. Using the leftovers to make nachos tonight. Instead of the usual tortilla chips, planning to spray corn tortillas with olive oil and broil them. HUGE calorie savings and they’re quite tasty that way.

retired. Ain’t got nothing else to do other than exercise and needlepoint! It’s a hyper specific collection, the largest of its kind, and at the time I think it’s safe to say I was the expert in it. I’ve contacted a couple of auction houses and gotten a kind of gawpingly polite “no thanks, fascinating, but we don’t think…

@spirittrail I wish I still had my pleated wool skirts and corduroy blazers from The Limited, from back in the late 70’s when The Limited had really fine quality. They’d be in style again and I might be able to wear them, what with vanity sizing, since they were a 2 back in the day, lol. I had a lovely multicolor wool…

homemade hummus with canned beans is inexpensive and you can cut the tahini and/or olive oil for calories savings with little difference in taste. Dirt cheap if you make your hummus from dried beans. “Bowls” with rice, cooked caviar type lentils, pickled beets or whatever and diced cooked meats, with a spoonful of hummus.…

word to the 60+ folks here. Your kids don’t want to cope with your beloved collectibles. The ones you only look at when you add a new piece. 🤦🏻♀️ I read an article a couple days ago about a west coast man who’s NYC mom died leaving floor to ceiling nice collectibles Four years on, he’s barely made a dent Moms collection -…

water heater failed and had to be replaced. Had to clean out storage room. Have come to the conclusion it’s time for my collection to go. I can’t find any source willing to sell it as one job lot, and the museum I contacted wanted a list (it’s easily 10,000+ items) to cherry picik after I offered to donate the whole thing.…

another thing, if you’re closing your diary that “you will weigh Xxx in five weeks” thing drove me barking crazy. M I sincerely beleive that’s what drives away many users. They feel they’ve failed if the don’t meet that digital goal.
-
thanks. I thought it was my imagination even though I’m familiar enough with my foods that I knew it wasn’t.
-
and PS, while I set the “per week” loss just to get the calorie goal numbers, I never followed it or thought it was gospel. The whole way through, I was encouraged by dietician and trainer to keep increasing calories, which blew my mind. I just took the attitude that any loss was a good loss, and I was in it for the long…

I lost ten pounds a month for the first six months. Then it slowed, and then it slowed drastically. The closer you are to goal, truly, the slower it becomes. However, I was such a sweets glutton, that is why I lost so rapidly at first. I calculated a couple of “normal” days when I first got on the app, and realized I was…

homemade beef jerky. When I was eating a lot of (wildly expensive) skyr, I discovered I could easily make it at home with a gallon of skim milk and a few drops of rennet. Ditto for kefir, if that’s your thing. If you’re in the USA, do you have a Lidl or Aldi nearby? Their prices are waaaaaay less than the big chain…

strongly suggest investing time to learn to use the app.

it’s entirely up in the air. We’ve been without water since noon yesterday, due to a water heater leak. Had chicken and beef street style tacos planned. We’ll see. Plumber busily banging around downstairs. We may need to move Thursday pizza up to tonight. 🤷🏻♀️

beef jerky. (Inexpensive if you make it in your instapot, air fryer or ninja) Homemade popsicles made of fruit and yogurt or cottage cheese, blended and poured into popsicle molds Pancakes fortified with plain whey protein and cotttage cheese Homemade skyr or (so easy you wouldn’t believe it) Labneh instead of Philly…

Don’t be wedded to your calorie beliefs. So often they are wrong. Most of us learn our “nutrition skills” from social media, magazines, popular diets. Sure 2,000 a day “seems” a lot when others are complaining about sticking to 1200 a day. But as a 63 year old woman, if I averaged 2000 a day, I’d be dying, just like you…

I’ve visited some countries this year that have a massive trash problem. The Americanos my childhood was much like that IMHO, I think the most successful marketing campaign ever was the Indian (in the parlance of the era) in the canoe, paddling through trash, with a great big tear rolling down his face. I’ve wondered if it…

Our town is host to the Gobble Jog on Thanksgiving Day, which is a huge fundraiser for a local homeless ministry, and draws 10,000+ participants. People go all out for Thanksgiving decorations here, particularly huge inflatable turkeys and sheaves of wheat, corn etc. It’s pretty amazing stuff, especially along the route…

early holiday party at a science museum with a telescope. Oooooh! Wish this would have happened during the Aurora fluke. 😩 Anyway, “heavy hors’deourves” or however you spell that. Have set aside 1500 calories for it. 👍🏻
