Carrieann - It sounds like the points that you feel require more attention would all probably get easier with some extra time spent on planning and preparation, so I think your intuition there has you on the right track. Nice progress on your daily activity and good for you not allowing other nuts, nut butters, &c. to work their way into your daily meals. (Carrieann, I know that you are already aware of the following sentence on calorie density; I want to tell you directly that I'm not intending the information below as a way of second-guessing your doctor's advice or decisions related to your medication and present health situation). Just so there is no confusion for the group in regard to the principles of MWL, and particularly for the benefit of newer participants or guests who may be reading along - brazil nuts are not recommended for MWL as they are higher fat and calorie dense. Jeff covers some additional considerations for brazil nuts here.

We ate out twice. I had salads both times with dressing on the side but the first one had avocado (gave most of it to my husband) and the second one had nuts. Other than that, the rest of my week went well.
I am exercising at least an hour per day, mostly water aerobics. I am finding my energy level is greater and I push myself to get a good workout. I've added laps to my pool sessions and hope to increase the time for these as the weeks go on.
I will be back home in a week and will report my weight at that time.
I've enjoyed catching up on all your posts. Good luck this week!

I'm so glad you find the group to be a useful support, I agree that the entire Dr. McDougall discussion board is a remarkable resource. I thought I'd include the list of foods you referenced, so it was easily at hand here in the thread -JeffN wrote:For Selenium (per 200 Calories)
