diet starting today

[sonya123]

week 26 day 1

I ended up making 2 meals yesterday since we are planning on getting some hay today. Made lentil soup with sausage and Streuselkuchen ( its more like a sweet bread) and had a little bit of that yesterday
also had a piece of toast with peanut butter and an apple

It's not really that hard to not eat junk if you don't have any in the house, so the diet really starts at the grocery store LOL. But with prices for chips and such lately we can't afford to eat junk any way. It's actually much cheaper to eat healthy , believe it or not. Rice, beans , cabbage, carrots and even chicken you cook yourself are still relatively cheap. But when you buy processed things, snacks, large pieces of beef and such, prices go up a lot

[elkhound]

hiked today...it was 62f....i was hot and sweaty for real today....lol...i timed myself back to truck today...17 minutes all uphill coming back...fastest time has been 16 minutes..not that i timed it very much...i think i could have been much faster today in all honesty as my tongue wasnt hanging out....i am not after speed was just curious...feeling pretty strong.

week 26 day 3

doctor says losing weight will help my foot , so I need to start swimming again and sticking to diet better

LOL but not today! Made enchiladas with lots of cheese . They were actually pretty good even if I am not that fond of Mexican. Green enchilada sauce, flour tortillas ( all I had) , ground turkey with spices, onion , garlic , cilantro, cheese, topped with pickeld jalopenos , avocado, chopped tomatoes and sour cream. Total calorie bomb , but I doubt I will eat anything else today except maybe an apple

week 26 day 4

spicy Korean chicken with rice, cuke and carrot salad ( I finally have a new bag of carrots , non recalled ones...), spinach and plantains . The plantains actually go pretty good with Korean food. I bought them to make cuban food, but they look like they need to be used today
Plus some sort of soup , probably soup #1

I never see any deer, maybe because Otto comes along or they are all in someones freezer

week 26 day 6

not a diet day today for sure!
Roast leg of lamb, roast root vegetables, salad, butternut squash soup and cake for dessert. No hiking today either, too cold and snowing

 

[sonya123]

week 26 day 7

definitely NOT a diet day yesterday, we demolished the cake, I had about 1\4 of it, guys ate the rest
Today something with leftover lamb. Looking up recipes at the moment
plus rice soup

NO dessert !

edit: I am going make pot pie out of the leftovers

week 27 day 1

not going to weight myself today, after all that cake I ate LOL

Today Kimchi stew and rice

and then I am baking some more calories, cookies! Sometimes I think the older I get , the more I get enjoyment out of baking and cooking, since there are so many things ( like skiing ) I can't do anymore....not good for my weight however . Everything I used to enjoy most took off calories, now the baking adds calories

 

[elkhound]

Hiked....seen 1 fat doe,9 squirrels and a feral cat !

 

[sonya123]
