Some responses that I missed from last week:Pace - Happy happy Belated Birthday! A birthday, a car accident, asthma and 3 pounds down. Sounds like a busy week with lots of highs and lows. Congratulations on your loss. That is amazing!
Idgie - I’m so sorry to hear about your mom, but glad she is home now. It is really easy to fall back into old habits in times of extreme stress. We want the comfort of that little hit of
sweet/fat food pleasure, while being too tired to keep up the prep work necessary to stay easily on track and out of trouble. It can be a really trying time and I’m glad you got through it with a loss. I hope you are proud of yourself. How is mum doing this week?
Rick - Thanks for the soup recipe. I feel quite similarly to how you and your wife used to feel about kale. It’s just not my favourite because of its toughness and bitterness. The soup sounds like a delicious way to give it another try. Thanks!
Liz - I’m sorry your post got lost and then I also failed to acknowledge your new post in a timely fashion. Sincerest apologies. I’m so glad you are slowing incorporating more and more of the guidelines into your life each week. The process does work, very well. Congratulations on your loss.
And now onto this week:cmwann - Yes! You are so close. Next week will possibly be the week you get into the 130s. I’m glad you are enjoying exploring new recipes. Have you found any new favourites?
Idgie - Nice!
Rick - Awesome!
Artista - You are very welcome.
Everyone’s contributions and discussions are so appreciated by me. Culturally speaking food is such a social process, I enjoy knowing that even though we are not breaking bread together (or maybe potatoes...LOL), we are sharing the preparation, described enjoyment, and beneficial outcomes experienced from our chosen food culture. 3 out of 4 ain’t bad. XO.
Pace - Woo hoo. Another great week! I’m sorry to hear about your asthma and cough. Do you live in an area where the air quality is lower than usual, or is this maybe a seasonal flare up for you? There are some pretty bad forest fires raging in Alberta, in the next province over from where I live, and it has created an intermittent haze in my area. It is especially tough for people with inflammatory airway diseases.
Belana -
Hello Goodbye to May! I hope you’ll be joining us for June too. Knowledge is power!
Judy - Thanks for checking in. I’m glad you are still doing well and sticking to your goals. Best wishes for the coming week!
OOnaOwl - Here’s a link to
The Cram Circuit lecture. It is very helpful. I wish you well with your 10 pound goal. Keep doing what you are doing and let time work its magic. I’d love to hear about some of your new warmer weather favourite dishes!
Spirit Double yaaaaaay! LOL. Congratulations.
Liz - I’d call that a silver lining!
Midnight - See picture above! June is here and we now have a fresh new beginning on our hands. So let’s reset some goals for the month and work towards them. XO.
