diet starting today

[sonya123]

Breakfast was 2 eggs over easy, ham, french toast.
Lunch was tenderloin with cottage fries.
Dinner was deep dish pizza, beer.
Blueberry cobbler with chocolate ice cream hot caramel sauce glass white wine.
Stuffed to the gills.

I don't think I could eat all that in a day LOL, that's a lot of food!
Don't remember the last time I ate 3 full meals with dessert. Maybe on a cruise to Mexico 15 years ago....

I brought half home for leftovers.
My Irishman and I share food.
Hence why I cook in miniature, I don't eat a lot.

week 18 day 6

today more chicken ( what I defrosted was too much for 1 meal, our chickens are huge) , rice, sweet potatoes, salad, plantains. That's enough food, so no soup or every pot I have will be dirty

 

[MoBookworm1957]

I have lost 3 pounds and 5 inches off my waist line and hip area for the month of October.
My Irishman likes my beginning hour glass shape that is emerging.
He's very pleased.
I am delighted.
Lots of work, but so worth it.

week 18 day 7

today I am going to make something husband and son like more than I do, enchiladas. I got some ground turkey at the store and want to try this out. Never used ground turkey before for anything. Will probably make some soup

Mobookworm: congrats on your weightloss! October was a bad month for me, I just didn't stick to anything and had candy, alcohol, lots of baked stuff, didn't stick to my hours , didn't make soup a lot until a few days ago. So now I am back to 14 pounds , oh well

 

[MoBookworm1957]

I may have to buy a belt to keep my jeans where they belong.
Started step 4 of belly dancing exercises, so everything hurts again.
But I have more energy, stamina maybe not enough for Military style 5 k's.
But enough for civilian 5 k's. Might have to see if I can do it.

 

[sonya123]

my turkey enchiladas turned out fine, but that meal just looks like slop LOL, I also made vegetables soup with a goat shank. All very spicy. I think I grew the spiciest mini peppers ever this year. I only put 3 each in the food and my eyes are watering ( and I am very used to spicy food)

Happy gettin born day Mo

our neighbor ( older lady with some health issues) weedeats with a strap around her back and shoulder that the weedeater is attached to. Maybe this would help?

week 19 day 1

today I need to cook something fast, maybe pizza , have leftover veg soup from yesterday
actually, I think I will ask son to make the pizza while we go to the dump

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Deer burritos, rice, asparagus wrapped in bacon with small pat of butter and minced garlic under the bacon, fruit.
Coffee

 

[sonya123]

WEEK 19 DAY 2

did not make pizza yesterday, but Korean rice bowl with ground goat , veggies and cuke and carrot salad

today I am going to make some of the nice collards still in the garden , collard greens stew ( spicy) with tomatoes and peanut butter, plus rice. Not sure what soup yet

 

[MoBookworm1957]

I can get my size 12 jeans down without unsnapping or unzipping them.
They fit well everywhere but in the waist .
I got my Irishman's belt back.
So I guess belly dancing is working well. Started step 4 yesterday.
Everything is back to hurting.
And I do mean everything.
Already rode recumbent bike for 15 minutes this morning.
Today is yoga day, weights.
You know that lower stomach pooch right above the waist I no longer have that.
I have the pooch above the waist line finish getting rid of.
Just have to get everything firmed up too.

week 19 day 3

well yesterday I did not make what I said I was going to either lol, maybe I should post this at night

made sweet and sour red cabbage, potatoes and bratwurst, no soup

today we are going to be gone most of the day after animal care and I made egg salad and pasta salad so I don't need to cook or eat junk out

 

[elkhound]

didnt give in today.....went hiked late...was rewarded with several squirrels and some deer.....seen a small 4 point buck and he was lightly grunting...he was down below me and across holler...i watched him for a long while...a doe came in and snorted at me...she went up the hill and i watched him scenting her out....it was awesome to watch....he was 175# deer...clearly he was just starting to rut a bit.

no diet today, making a Halloween pizza and dessert

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Grandchildren have a way of humbling you in a heartbeat.
Estelle was over last night while I was belly dancing.
She burst into giggles"Oh, Granny", please don't don't do that in public.
It's embarrassing"

hope you feel better soon, I have heard magnesium helps with cramps ( I take it for my heart, even if I don't really have problems yet, but runs in my family )
Hope your parents feel better soon too, you have a lot going on

 

[MoBookworm1957]

I don't diet at all.
I just eat what I want or what the Irishman wants except that dish that looks like dog's barf.
Not happening, not eating that.
And I have eaten strange food around the world.
But I use portion control, smaller plate size.
I also eat several times a day.
elkhound, drink pickle brine.
That's what I do it helps.

 

[elkhound]

thanks yall....but this is from nerve damage/disc stuff touching...i do take lots of magnesium..it helps...but theres not much you can do when a nerve touches something and triggers muscle twitching and stuff like that.....to much twisting and grinding of busted discs and more.....yesterday sucked till noon...i had to do some real deep stretches on bad leg on set of steps to get leg to point it bend enough without triggering a tremor event down my leg so get my sock on....yea....failed today to go hike or walk....just didnt have it in me....sorry....hate myself over it too....but i get over it.....last half day was ok....tonight is better.
