I am new to these boards and have never done an "online" journal before but, I have found reading them to be very helpful!
So, as an accountability method, I have decided to start one.
I am a 48 year-old woman who attends university full-time. I have three children and two grandchildren. Only the youngest child, age 12, is at home.
I was a vegetarian for 20 years. I left an abusive marriage and started my life over in a new state. I recently re-married a wonderful man, but, sadly, have gained a tremendous amount of weight.
Currently, I am at an all-time high weight of 252!!! Unforgivable that i allowed this to happen to me.
However, I am determined to regain my health! I am an agricultural education maor and this semester I have a lot of stable and tractor work to do..I need to get in shape to keep up with the younger kids in my classes LOL
So, today this is what I ate:
B-raw oats with homemade soy milk, flax seed and diced apple
S- pink grapefruit
L-large green salad with raw veggies and a navy beans on top (about 3/4 c) and a large baked sweet potato
S- 1 can of pears packed in juice (from food bank, I don't normally buy canned fruit)
D-homemade baked beans on a toasted whole wheat bun (1/2) topped with caramelized onions
I drink a lot of water and I had I cup of black coffee.
I am on food stamps and hope to get them renewed tomorrow..if I do, I can go grocery shopping otherwise it is to the food bank.
I get my student loan in 10 days, then I will have more money for fresh fruits and veggies. Right now, oats, potatoes, rice and beans are my staples.
Have a great night!
