Well I'm back.
I got diagnosed with Afib about a month-and-a-half ago. My blood pressure was through the roof. They keep upping my meds and today is the first day since I was diagnosed that I've had a normal blood pressure. I was so out of shape, I could barely walk 15 minutes. So I'm on my bike, and in that time frame, I am now up to…

Stevia?
I hate artificial sweetness in general.. (aftertaste is the issue.) I have been reading about dried ground stevia leaves. Has anyone tired it? Do you use stevia, what kind, and aftertaste? I want it for coffee.

Sick...
So what do you do when you're sick? I have to drink a lot of juice right now and it's very high in calories. :( I still need to eat. Ugh. I am just going to give up the ghost for three days, eat my alloted daily intake, not count the juice, do my juice for three days, and be done with it. In three days I will just go back…

Fiber.....
I always go way over my fiber. I just don't know how people don't not go over!! :) I mean by a third easy.

Umm... I just lost 40 calories?
I updated my settings for the 7 lbs I have dropped and it took away 40 calories? REALLY? That is 280 calories a week..... Why did it DO that? I struggle at 1400... Will it continue to lower? I cannot eat a 1200 calorie daily intake. I struggle at 1400.....

Have you tried a new food lately?
I wanted an easy non meat meal for two nights a week. I found Bocca Burger's flame grilled patty. It was yummy. I had full fat yogurt for mayo, with onions and tomatoes. With a 100% whole wheat sandwhich slim. Whole thing I found delicious.

5 lbs
I lost my first 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Even with my missteps. I am pretty happy with that. :) Woot!!
-
Well that was an unhappy moment.
I thought I was doing better overall compared to before I came here.... Then I went into my settings and noticed I did a typo on my height.... I had made myself two inches taller. So of course you know that does make a difference in calories everyday. So instead of now hitting the lines most days, I have gone over. :(

So Frustrated....
I went up to my Boyfriends house this weekend and I did not plan well. I ate and I don't even know how to begin to log in the calories. It seems overwhelming. He likes to go out to eat.... I can't seem to monitor my calories when we do. :( I know it's a problem, but I am unsure how to fix it. He lives in a small town and…

Confused about rice....
On the package it says 170 calories for 1/4 cup. But is that cooked or uncooked?? That seems awful high for that little of cooked rice. It does not specify.

I am Jessie....
I have been posting but I haven't really introduced myself. I am a 52 years old, don't feel like I am that old though. Hard to believe THAT happened!! I swear I was 27 just yesterday. I love my scooter and my bike. I love the feeling of freedom those two things give me. I have two boys 25 and 29 whom I adore. They are…

Does the light headed always...
Hungry feeling go away? I feel hungry all the time. I feel light headed too. Most days I am around 1200 to 1400. I got off track 2 days. Been counting I think 10 days. Sorry, I put 16000... typo..,

I am SO hungry... 462 Left in the day....
It's 5 my time, and I have the rest of the night. What would you have? I am so hungry I feel if I don't have a really filling meal, I am going to blow the day. All I can think about is a big plate of Chicken Mole from Red Iguana, with chips, salsa, rice, beans, and YES a margarita over ice, extra salt. The whole…

Fiber
I eat like crap (I am working on it, being here lets me actually see what I am doing in a clearer picture....) and still go over my fiber count everyday. If you're eating a lot of veggies, how do you not go over? Does it really matter? And how much over is too much?
-
How often do you weigh?
I don't have a scale yet, and I am basing my weight on my last doctor's visit about a month ago. I want to get a scale, and I think once a week is good. This is because I want want to monitor, but aslo want to avoid the day to day fluctuations that I feel can be discouraging. What say you?

Beating myself up...
So I didn't do to well Friday night. I went and had sushi and did not realize how really high in calories it is. I felt like I had already screwed up and was really beating myself up over it. Then last night I was talking to my wise and hot boyfriend... :) And he was like, Jess, you can't be perfect all the time. You will…

I'm Lazy... Low Calorie Ceasar Salad?
Don't feel like doing all the research. What restaurant do you like to have them at? Also do you have a favorite recipe? I always liked the Wendy's one, but for that LITTLE salad it's 250 calories. :O

Can you "save" calories?
I like to go out on Friday nights and have a nice meal without having to worry about the calories. I will eat til full, but you know I want to have freedom to select from the menu. Can I save 100 calories a day the rest of the week in anticipation of that meal?
