A very good day Alba...excellent...keep on!Alba wrote:I did some of the raking and tidying up of yard yesterday as well two good walks with the dog. Some leaves and branches were burned, just doing a little bit makes a difference.Hey there Alba! We did the same here in Orlando...a total yard clean up day after a major storm last week. It was a good amount of hard work, but it felt GOOD. After my cookie binge, I was sure to have a really GOOD food day yesterday. Did my Leslie Sansone 1 brisk power walking mile, & very light clean food day. I'll give my mistake a week of good behavior - to hopefully~ restore!
Breakfast: o/m and pineapplesI'm gonna try this very soon!!
Snack: apple
Lunch: a crock of potatoes, my favourite, with a little smoked oak salt , ground black pepper and some dijon mustard.
Supper: rice and lentils.
Not much veggies yesterday but there's always today.
ohhh, that's WONDERFUL!! Pump the water today Alba...that'll help flush the salt. For me as well...it's a NEW day...lets go!!Alba wrote:Thanks burgh-girl, we all need the support and reinforcement from each other. Yesterday was some yard work and a few walks with the dog. We had a houseful of people and he is settling in nicely, he met another "aunt" yesterday. He's a hit with them all. A nice balanced day for you...how perfect indeed! Ohhh boy, you've hit the proverbial nail on the head...the support is indeed[i]vital! [/i]
Breakfast: o/m pineapples
Lunch: mashed potatoes, beans and veggies
snack: some baked potato chips (store bought) not good and the salt won't help either I hear that...things just happen sometimes...the ups and downs of life are not going to disappear, we just need to ATONE the next days...get right back on track. Once again (yes, this time I truly DID trash the damn nuts and cookies!!) I "lost it" because I was so stressed...and exhausted after a lonnng day's working in the yard.- HALT-...do you know what that acronym stands for? Hungry, angry, lonely, tired..i hve been at least the last three of those when I go so insane at night. hmmmm...something's got to change!
Supper: was rice and veggies and garbanzos
snack: crust Italian bread with a smear of dijon mustard.
Not a great day, food wise but you do what you can and will be on the straight and narrow today. One plus of yesterday, I did receive a couple of comments of how I was looking thinner....keep them coming

The terrier breed can be so willful...at least my mini schnauzer IS, but ahhh, we love em don't we? I took her for a nice walk at a park and she is in hog heaven and loves every child and dog we see.Brilliant..you're doing for HER what she so needs, as well as your SELF ...great job!
Will have to try the cream of wheat with mango thing. Ohhh my, see if you can't google "kessari bath"...and come up with the recipe. it is ..incredible! a special treat though.
Sticking with it til I get healthy and off these HBP pills that is my motto. ohhh my, yeah,...you MUST dear Carollynne...tht's serious stuff![color=#FF00FF][/color] It is just just seems like such a very slow loss,ohhh i know, i know...but this is not~ a RACE we've got to remember! What really counts, is the consistency of doing the right things...where were you last year at this time? or the year before that? NEXT year...how do you visualize yourself? Image that...every detail... This hs been an emotional year from Hell for me, but...i'm coming out of it on the other side now...as we do. NOW...~ time to clean up the damage! I had three(!!!) binges last week, but yesterday...was a very good day. One, by one, by one...we'll "get r done" Make it a GOOD one for yourself...if you don't do it...it's not gonna happen!! but really, I get a lot of encouragement from reading your journal.Thank you mucho...that's what we're all doing...helping each other!
You will do this!!
OMGOODNESS...that's going to be exciting!! I did similarly. It wasnt terribly well thought out though...I just came upon this pup, a mini schnauzer, and felt like Max, our chihuahua, needed a friend...he's been a holy terror, this one has!! GEEEZE Alba...I've never HAD a dog like this one. He does NOT obey!! UNLESS you have a treat..but NEVER ~without. FORGET about it!! Aint happenin!!Alba wrote:Sage word burgh-girl! And a very good morning to you Alba- good to see you here again!
I have been A.W.O.L. these last two days,that's alreight...we'll give you some time off! but my regimen has been the same, Tuesday's supper was especially one of my favourites, DW makes a wonderful veggie chili with tvp loose "hamburger".Lovely...yes, I make something like that...it's very good!
My older brother came to visit overnight and we had a good time watching an old British black and white movie about the Battle of Britain.ahhh, that's wonderful! Wish that I had family ...it's just my hubby & myself, and our two pups. No kids either...oh well, this is my current incarnation i guess! I have an amateur family historian for over 35 years WOW!! and was excited about the 1911 census becoming avaialble omgosh...how about THAT?! so the two of us downloaded extracts that showed some of grandparents and great grandparents in Scotland.What a time we live in huh? that's fascinating! My husband is of Scottish origin's himself...the McFarland's. His mom has done some extensive background history as well.
Yesterday was an uneventful day, I am at the age where I wish to live in "uninteresting times" ha-ha-ha- ohhhh, i know what you mean. Yes, indeed! All the chaos and trauma gets~ so wearing doesnt it?
Breakfast: o/m and pineapples
Snack banana and raw veggies
Lunch: rice veggies and beans
Snack: apple
Supper: mashed potatoes with some left over veggie chili.
A little peckish last night so I nuked some potato slices.
Weight is fairly constant, but edging downward.ohhh my, you know, I think of your disapline, your lovely daily regimen such as it is, and so wish i could be that way!! Whyyyyyy....do I seem to NEED such variety? I go a lil ~CRAZY~ at times, trying to continually come up with new and exciting dishes!! It's maddening i tell you... & I know, it doesnt have to be so hard!! mooaaaan....I don't understand it. I did however make ...someone's EZ curry recipe yesterday! It was delish...by the way
We are loving the walks with dog and so does he of course. ahhh, isnt it nice though...it takes so very little to make them HAPPY!! Truly HAPPY!! He seems to have settled in nicely, the kennel cough seems to have gone and he get excited to see us when anyone of us has been away.The faithful, loyal companionship of our dogs, yes..a lovely slic of life indeed. We are now looking to get a female companion for him as docile as he is.
Alba wrote:Hi burgh-girl and frozen veg.Good morning Alba! Yes frozen I belong to ancestry.com it has been invaluable to me and my researches. I think I have found more on my family since the internet came to me 13 years ago than all the time previously researching as I said I have been doing it since 1974 (when I was in diapers ) Burgh-girl, the only problem we have with the little guy is that he wants to strain his leash so we are working on that, he can't seem to help following his nose Indeed! It's what they're bred to do after all! As for MacFarland (with a "d" at the end) that is usually a spelling from Northern Ireland from Scots that settled there.Interesting...thank you...i'll share with my husband. Another thing you mentioned about variety and it probably looks like my stuff is mostly the same and it is but DW season things so nicely, that I never get tired of the same stuff.Lovely...I'm sure she does. As an artist in particular,~ she surely would
Ladies it s lovely to have people drop in and post on my journal, thank you for taking the time.My pleasure,-it's wonderful to see how you're getting on with this. Slow and measured ~is the best way!
DW and I watched Heavy all this season and enjoyed it, since they are about helping the people not making it a reality show where made are used any old way for entertainment.Exactly! I agree. Last night was the follow ups to see how people were doing and so far it has been positive and interesting refrain is that in most cases they have continued to lose weight and have gone on to helping others in either counseling or fitness classes.Isnt that wonderful. It's what it's all about, isnt it? Sharing what we know in this life, so that other's can benefit? We MUST...i feel, it's our duty as human's.
A little peek on the weigh scale shows a new low. ohhh, how happy you must be to see that. its only in tenths of a poundAnd that's perfectly alright!! but progressively lower which I like, I mean I get excited about a breakthrough on a pound threshold. Of COURSE!! Congrats!! I am 258.1 (started at 274) and looking to get to 257. that 's where we want to be for the next mini goal.YOu're so close now!! WOW...beautiful! This may seem low but its my pace I and feel no pain and yet gain in feeling good and good about myself.There's no better way is there? One day, I know I'll be able to get my husband to join me fully on this. I've known him many years now...35 or so, and this will be superb for his health. He'd be inspired by your success as well. He's at an all time high of 279 himself, at 6'3".
Breakfast: o/m and pineapplesI just bought another can...i WILL try this and soon! How much oatmeal would you say you have Alba? does it take you through the morning? I find i'm fairly hungry in two hours.
Snack: banana and raw veggies
Lunch: rice beans and veggies
