Healthy Weight Loss

Zimmeh · 08-21-2011, 08:07 AM

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you Sachita and Corkey on the information on juicing. I was watching the movie, "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" yesterday on NetFlix. The guy on the movie, teaches people about juicing and it is something that I am thinking about trying.

Have a great day,

Zimmy

Good morning! Happy Sun Day!

So I was on this strict diet that allowed fish/ shrimp/ chicken breast 2 cups of fresh vegetables and 2 cups of fresh fruits a day. I did it for a week and lost an amazing 10 lbs. However I was missing my beef! and I had certain cravings. . This diet was very low in calories and didn't allow for much of a workout due to low energy. . Sooo I'm dumping this particular diet. I know I can lose the weight and what I need to do to keep on a healthy food diet. I will eat what i want but in smaller portions and watch my calories, fat, and sugar intake and be able to workout more. I am hoping to stay about 1200 calories a day and see what happens. I allowed myself some bites of cake this morning and a cup of fat free milk. I also am gonna make some homemade corn tortilla cheese enchiladas with some steak meat today. something my diet wouldn't allow. haha.. I feel good and I'll keep on with healthy choices, more fresh fruits, more fresh vegetables, and plain ol water as a part of my everyday diet without having to restrict myself on cravings. I will continue to keep you all updated.

I bought some Pepsi Max today to try it out. Anyone else drink this or anything similar? What do you think of it? thanks..

Happy Sunday healthy friends

Well, I'm proud of myself today. I was stressed out, upset, hurt, and a little angry this morning...and had to go to the Walgreens for the couple of school supplies I forgot. It sits right next to the McDonald's...with the drive thru beckoning as I turn in.

I was really wanting a Big Mac and fries. Not because I was craving it....but from all the old "soothe with food" tapes that were playing in my head.

I actually sat in the Walgreen's parking lot for a few minutes and had a talk with myself...and ended up with "okay Jo....you're hurt...so to fix it, you're going to hurt yourself more with food that you really don't want?"

Hmmmm. Sometimes my self makes sense when I give it time.

I got the school supplies and drove home...and in a few minutes I'll make myself a nice open-faced tuna sandwich on whole wheat instead with some green olives on the side....maybe some fruit salad for dessert.

oooooooooooooooooo what a good find!

I had been researching this and decided to give it a try.

http://www.optimallyorganic.com/Cacao.htm

Years ago I sold tropical fruit trees including cacao (Theobrama) and I noticed a lot of people throughout the US purchased these to grow in greenhouses. They are subtropical understory plants/trees so not so easy to grow. Anyhow there were discussions about the properties of raw cacao and almost everyone has heard this about chocolate, however once heated many of the properties disappear.

So I ordered a few pounds. It arrived and I ate a handful. It takes more like eating coffee beans with a hint of coco. About 20 min later I had this wonderful calm come over me and I felt it in my whole body. The rest of the day i had no food craves and did not feel very hungry at all. I'm in love with this stuff! BUT I don't like eating it. So today I ground it up fine, made toast, put extra virgin coconut oil (another great oil for weight loss and nutrition) and added thr ground cacao to the top. It was very good.

Between juicing and finding this I'm feeling pretty damn good!

This sounds very interesting, quite the set of compounds listed. I may well have to try these out. Thanks for the tip!

sylvie · 08-21-2011, 01:23 PM

my weigh in, finally, is tomorrow - i can't wait!

3 months ago, i bought some new scrub shirts (uniforms) for work - but was disappointed when my usual size was too small for me now. i kept those shirts, and guess what ???? i can now wear them!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!

i put one on yesterday, and although not as loose as i want, i can get them on and wear them, they're a lil loose.. but a bit snugger than i usually wear..just not used to showing my curves so much, LOL.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, that felt GREAT!
ive been noticing so many changes in me lately as well...all positive!
will update with my weight loss to date tomorrow after my weigh in..

JustJo · 08-21-2011, 02:47 PM

Scoote and I did grocery shopping today....a trip to Publix for a couple things, a trip to BJ's for "the big stuff" and meat....and the veggie stand for.... (drum roll please)....

watermelon
pineapple
pluots
strawberries
tomatoes
broccoli
bean sprouts
fresh green beans
cauliflower
potatoes
corn on the cob
lettuce
radishes
cucumbers
red peppers
and I know there was more but I just can't remember

Medusa · 08-21-2011, 03:01 PM

I checked my bp at one of those supermarket things. I was pretty excited to see these numbers but I'm going to go to the doc and get them to check it because these numbers cant be right.

*IF* these numbers are right, it means I'm firmly out of "scary stroke territory".

ETA: 3 months ago my "normal" range would have been 177/97 with a resting pulse of 110.

Zimmeh · 08-21-2011, 05:41 PM

Good Evening Jo Jo,

If you like SoyMilk, Publix has it on sale this week. I just picked up two half gallons of the Silk Chocolate SoyMilk for $5 total.

Have a great day,

Zimmy

I have pretty much given up drinking soda but when I do give in and have one I love Coke Zero. On a day to day basis I have been drinking Crystal light Rasberry Ice.It is so good but I am not happy about the color they make that stuff as I am always paranoid I am going to spill it, it stains like crazy!
