LARD??
Good grief, thanks for telling me that one LoriJenny, that would have been a really huge mistake for me. and Christine, I loved that phrase, Taco Hell... lol, too cute and too true.
but here is a pc of good news from the home front. At Walmart this am, after the hospital lab, and after he ate a bf platter from Hardee, ( talk about goop and grease) and I sat there with my apple and veggie cut ups, then we had to run errands, and finally at walmart Dh wants to start bringing in some cheerios to work to eat in the early morning hrs, and so that really done and got the stuff, then he announces that he must have milk too, I about lost it in the store and told him he could not get any cow's milk, and started to remind him of all the why- nots, and he is arguing about the 1% or 2% or skim, and I am telling him try the almond milk, it is my fav. and that is what we got finally. I am beginning to think he is happy that I am doing this, and sort of leading the way for him. In fact I even told him that if doctor tells him he is diabetic now or borderline then he is going to have to go vegan with me and Eric.... he did not protest at all. Altho he is part way there. No diary anymore... and loves my soups and stews too.
BF: apple, veggie cuts like zucc, baby carrots and celery, and when I got home again, had my oats and blueberries finally I was a starving Armenian for them today til we got back...
L: cabbage and potato soup, a DH fav, and he requested it too.,, but did not try it yet... with brown rice and kale thrown in for good measure... love my kale everyday now.. and to think that the first yr I grew it in my garden, I gave a lot of it away, and did not really know how great a nutrient stronghold it is!! And the second yr I grew it, it looked lousy and the bugs got far too much of it... I need the starter plants and not the seeds I think....
D: was more of the same, but added some of my red reheated up with garlic and pepper and some sea salt.... and 3 rice cakes, one of them with a bit of peanut butter, not on plan.
I am sticking with only 2 fruits and no breads..... hard enough, but I hope to do this MWL right and lose more of my lard...
Just had a cup of tea that I thought was non caffeine, but Now I see that it has a bit of it, phooey... I will be up for a while then....
Today was a good day, since I did not even feel a bit tempted by Hardees, he tried to give me the bisquit and then at this farm store with all the whoppie pies, cookies, etc etc.... we went there for a hay ride to the pumpkin patch, and it was a riot. Loved being out there... when teh tractor ride came back around, the Amish big sister was picking up teh little sisters with the bunnie and kitten cages and they had a slight problem with their horse and the big sister was moving fast and sure to get the horse settled down and hopped back up adn snatched those reins from the little girl, and then tried to get the animal moving to pull the buck board sort of wagon up a slight incline. I really thing she needed some help, but no one wants to bother the Amish here, out of respect for their culture, but really I thought about it but she got it under control and moved faster than I thgt possible.... then the poor horse 's legs all 4 of them buckled under him and I wondered if the horse would go lame!! but no, it got back up and then they turned down the country road and the wagon conveance moved down the road..... Jesh, some of the loud mouth wojmen on this hay ride, were complaining about how the Amish treat theri animals as machines, not as animals, but did any of us offer to help??? no! and also any horse is so skittish around so many people and the timing of the hay ride load of us, showing up just as she was trying to get going did not help either. I truly thought the young woman did better than most of us could have done, she was great!! And horse did look young to me too. Or at least small anyway. The little ones were wearing a babushka, like I had to as a young girl, it was a Polish thing for us, and theirs was a heavy open weave sort of one, with fringes all along the edges, and that was unusual, I had never seen that before on the Amish. A picture would have been so cool, but again, I would never do that our of respect for their culture too.
KItty adventures yes I have wasted yrs too, being in the obese category and not really realizing the danger of it all, until I had the fatty liver stoked up and set about trying to finally cure it, by trying to losing wt, My mother too would tell me not to wait too long to make my self look good for myself, and so on. She was so right.
Ds is eating some candies like gummies and I am not tempted by that either... a miracle to me. the longer I stay on the MWL program the better I am doing it too.
The sz 14s still fit and I am still amazed by that fact. MY legs are a lot more slender and I guess the tummy had receded some too. Or these would not fit.
Hewy one more thing I need to tell you all! My dearest friend called me again this am, and ws telling me that she went to this little grocer near her block in Chicago, and got some bronw rice, small reds adn was making up a great soup, with a smoked ham houck, and some red beef steak the oven, etc etc... and was so proud of her move to brown rice since the white rice sits in her stomach and turns to glue!! I said to her, great news, you can do this!! She thanked me for the encouragement... to keep trying to lose wt...She will never be a vegan, but then I am not going to preach to her, let her see the results of my WOE one day and figure it out for herself...
We are in a quiet majority, and I am not sorry about that.
I recommended websites and other books, and really she can get the forks over knives herself off of netflix .... not my concern I guess! Cannot fix others just myself so get on with, dear self of mine!
have a good night to all, and hope for the best tomorrow... plan on going to see The thing with Ds and will have to bring my veggies cuts to feed the starving Armenian in me!!
Hey I it will not stop!! feels too good to stop!
I have lost about 60 lbs and never thought I'd be in the 150s ever again. cured my NAFLD!! Feel great!! Wt loss is so good for the knees and back, ankle, that I know I will never start back to the SAD way of eating again.
