I had meatloaf for dinner- lots of oats but i think thats one of the better carbs. Better than granola anyway. I was at the drs office monday and they said i lost 3 pounds since the last time i was weighed.

You said you were taking Metformin? Is your appetite still a little less? Meatloaf is so good! Oats are whole grains. Whole grains are good. |

Well I just ate a bunch of carbs (popcorn) and I feel terrible. I feel so hungry. This has been an interesting experiment so far. Protein really is the way to go. Every time I have a high carb meal or snack I feel worse. I’m so glad you brought this up to me, wild coyote! I was stubborn and convinced it wouldn’t work but it does. Maybe I’ll even lose some weight. I lost weight on extreme low carb three years ago but I’m not doing extreme right now. I have to ease into it.

I buy the large pack of boneless skinless chicken breast. Usually 8-9 in each pack. Take and clean an entire pack. Put them in the crock pot all day,have one for dinner, with veggies, and a salad, watch the calories from dressings tho. All the rest of the chicken slice up and just put in fridge. If you get hungry go grab some. There are things like Mrs Dash to add flavor but not salt, or just add lemon, lime, pepper, basil, oregano chives etc etc. When cooking with a crock pot you only need enough water to cover the bottom of it , I have a large one so I use maybe 1-1/4 cups water. I’d seriously hate life without my crock pot lol __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I have let things go since the onset of the pain. I’ve got my grocery list together, I’ll go shopping for my green foods today with the grace of God and will start back to water aerobics Monday. Tomorrow, I plan on walking the mall (partly because Bath & Body is giving away a free product with coupon, the mall is huge and I don’t know where it is so my motives are not entirely pure).

I had more carbs today than I wanted to. I am embarrassed to tell RS that I am trying low carb, not sure why, but nonetheless ...so he suggested sandwiches for breakfast so I said yes. Then we went to Texas Roadhouse for a late lunch/early dinner with my in laws. Well there’s absolutely NOTHING healthy there. Not even the salads. Not even the damn house salad. I had intended to eat the burger sans bun, but I was so hungry by the time it came out that I ate the whole thing. Then I had three pieces of Halloween candy. So yeah, blew it on the carbs and calories today. But tomorrow’s another day!
But, if my scale is to be believed, I have lost nearly five pounds from my heaviest weight two weeks ago. I still don’t quite believe it, but my scale should be accurate bc I weighed myself right before my dr appt last Tuesday and I weighed the sane amount at the dr office. So I’m going it’s true. I hope I’ll lose another pound this week if I really stick to lower carb. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

I'm feeling dehydrated today. I'm definitely hitting the water hard. I stayed super busy over the weekend and just didn't drink enough I guess. I just finished my workout and I'm feeling a little tired. I need to rally though because we're taking the kids to the park in a bit. It is a beautiful day out and it is going to be super cold for the next few days. We need to enjoy the sunshine and warmer temps while we have them.
How is everyone feeling today? I know several are struggling and I am thinking of you and sending well wishes. Much love to all! |

I had gotten a fair amount of exercise doing "feats of strength" here at the house.
I have also injured myself. I hope to get better with each passing day. I am "alone" now and have to do some things I have not done. I did ride the stationery bike today for 20 minutes. It is now snowing here. Beautiful stuff! I may have to do walks at the mall from here on out. will see.

I had tuna salad from the local convenience store. Normally I have a sandwich but today I had just the salad on some greens. Unfortunately, I have looked up the nutrition info and it is not good. There are still 13g carbs in the tuna salad, which means they are adding sugar. And it is very calorie heavy. I’m afraid I will just have to make it an occasional treat instead of a common occurrence.
I did not eat breakfast this morning because I slept until 2pm (I know, I know) but for dinner we had tacos. I ate mostly meat, cheese, and sour cream. I did have one tortilla though, which I hope won’t make me feel too bad. It was at least whole wheat. Then I had a small piece of chocolate. Yes, that will spike my blood sugar, but it was too delicious to deny myself. I have enough calories left for a small snack so I will have a couple of pieces of cheese before bedtime. __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

I need to see my GP to get new meds for my GERD since Zantac was recalled. I also need to get bloodwork done since my psychiatrist said I'm due for it. So I'm hoping to get all all that done tomorrow if there's any walk in appointments available at the clinic I go to.

How come I have not read this thread? I think the exercise emphasis scared me a way. then I read that it is about dieting as well so maybe I can post here? I have a sprained ankle still and am waiting for that to be all better to go to the gym. I really need to go walk on the tred mill again.....I am so out of shape!
Are we allowed to post weights? I too am following a lower carb diet, not actually counting carbs just trying to be mindful. and It is working...have lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks. Had a small salad and bowl of chicken soup for lunch, and shrimp coconut soup for dinner with a pork chop. The soup was left overs from this thai restaurant the other night. It was very spicy! bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |
