diet starting today

[sonya123]

So, I found out that the 12 hour flight, maybe along with the exhaustion from the trip made my immune system so low that I felt like crap once getting home. Yep, I tested positive for covid. With confining to my house, sneezing and body aches, along with a loss of appetite, I an now down 5 pounds and now at 208 pounds. I feel much better today so I may venture out in the world and spend a fortune shopping at Costco.

at least you didn't get covid AND the flu, like I did...hope you feel better soon

 

[sonya123]

no time to make Chinese food after shopping, so I just made lentil soup in the pressure cooker, with hot dogs

That sounds like something I would have done...in the past when I had 2 fully functioning feet

 

[Bacpacker]

Sounds like a great day Elke. I sure hope I can get myself built back up where I can start hitting the trails again

i have eaten and now fighting falling asleep...i wanna watch survivor tonight...lol...doubt i make it....i am tired for sure.

oh today i met an older woman...50ish maybe...shes lost over 100#

 

[sonya123]

well another major diet fail....decided to bake banana bread and just had 2 slices....husband had a few, and now half is gone already. I am sure son will eat the rest. It's amazing how fast baked stuff disappears in this house!! I need to stop baking. Even my saltless bread got eaten

 

[sonya123]

1 little piece left of the banana bread....I think I really better stop baking , or we will ALL be 300 lbs soon....

So today I AM going to make the Chinese lemon chicken

[elkhound]

Whoa.....who is she older than?????

older than everyone under 50...50 and over is in the 'us' crowd here.....lol....it was a designation so yall wouldnt think it was some younger 25ish person. she was pushing hard up that trail too and was a nice looking lady.

i gain just reading your posts....you would have to lock me in the chicken coop weekly on baking day over the bread till you got it loaded and gone to market...i would be weak...i would steal loaf and run off to the woods.....lol

 

[elkhound]

well i wasnt going to go...but i decided to anyway...done easy trail but it was hard....even going down hill...lol...coming back up was tough...mind nor body was into...but its done and over with...tomorrow will be better.

 

[havasu]

Bless me father, but I must confess....

You get me anywhere near some fresh banana bread, and I will cut a thick slice, slather with real salted butter, and microwave it for 30 seconds. Oh, that sweet goodness tastes so good!

Me, I'm still hovering at 209. I still feel some signs of lingering covid, but I did do a 3 1/2 mile walk yesterday.

week 17 day 6

I think I will start up my real diet again once this latest project is done and I have more time to cook , do dishes and keep track of what hours I eat.

Today baked ziti and salad

 

[elkhound]

had a good hike....only seen 1 deer and several squirrels.

 

[sonya123]

Week 18 day 1

kimchi stew today

yesterday I mentioned a waffle recall to our son and he promptly requested waffles...so I made waffles ( uncontaminated ones ) and potato soup with sausage

 

[sonya123]

week 18 day 2

freezer leftovers today, I found: 2 frozen lambburgers, some red cabbage, 2 goat curry and rice meals, some frozen cornbread ( this will probably go to the chickens) , a bag of chicken and dumplings, 2 frozen small sausages, some frozen rice ( chickens?) , some frozen cooked chicken that looks freezerburned ( dogs) a bag of chili
all these things were in the freezer I cleared out to defrost and move it
I do pretty good at never throwing food out , we eat most what I cook, dogs get some, chickens get some , and things the chickens won't eat ( potato peels and stuff like that) goes into the compost.

 

[elkhound]

Went exploring around forest for a couple of hours off trail...way harder than doing trails for sure.

 

[Bacpacker]

Swashbuckling. Much harder than on trail hiking. But you can see so much more. Even more in the winter with the foilage off

 

[sonya123]

week 18 day 3

today going to make beef and broccoli with rice, plus dumpling soup

I don't like hiking off trail here, too many ticks. Both husband and me caught Lyme already once
