Hey Diavolo,

Here's a little trick I used on myself to "reset" how I looked at serving sizes and changed my thinking around (besides smaller plates). I'll assume you will be weighing and measuring what you eat; it helped me to switch all of the values to metric. Kind of like the other hand thing, taking something that has been on autopilot and switching it up. Sounds weird, I know, but it got me out of a box and broke a pattern.

Cheers

My bruised ribs are finally not so sore. Went to the gym and did back and biceps, and cardio. Hoping I am back on track now.
Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.

I am slowly eating solid food but it is still hard. I weighed myself yesterday and I am down to 165lbs!!! Woohoo... Thirty pounds to go and I will be down to my ideal weight


Have a great day and I'm headed to Disney with a friend this afternoon.

Hugs,

Zimmeh

Adding these spices to your diet and use every day can help in many ways.

Good Morning Everyone,

Saturday I spent the day with my family and ended up taking my youngest niece and nephew to the park and I was pushing them on the swing.
I spent four hours walking around Disney's Magic Kingdom yesterday. I was so exhausted by the time I got home!

I am still eating soft foods and over did it with trying to eat solid foods this weekend. I am still not craving any form of caffeine or candy..It has been over a week now since I have had coffee or tea and sweets...I cannot believe it!

Have a great day!

As of right now, per the dentist, no more solid food... Back to yogurt, apple sauce and Ensure. If my tooth is still irritated by tomorrow, I will be heading back to the dentist on Thursday...Solid food was yummy while it lasted!

I weighed myself this morning after a carb-fueled two weeks and was happy to see I'd gained back only 4 pounds. Whew! Was afraid it'd be much worse than that.

out of boredom, and I'm glad I tried this. I hooked my laptop to my TV with the HTML cable and played this video. Who needs WII? Free membership to UTUBE. READY?

Well, Thanksgiving holiday was a bust for the gym and My diet...back to the gym tomorrow. I am trying not to feel too defeated.

I hope everyone has a smooth transition back into their plan.

I ALWAYS have hard boiled eggs in the fridge. They are the perfect food (low carb and high protein)and I love them, plain with sea salt and pepper, in egg salad, tuna salad and on top of chef salad. But why don't you eat the yoke? New studies have shown that the old opinion about yokes and heart disease is not proven. The yoke has some of the amino acides that make the egg a perfect protein plus vit D.

When I am broke, that is what I stock up with, eggs. I lost 60 pounds eating eggs (well and a few other things too, but not much)

One egg contains about 213 milligrams of dietary cholesterol. The daily recommended cholesterol limit is less than 300 milligrams for people with normal LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. An egg can fit within heart-healthy guidelines for those people only if cholesterol from other sources — such as meats, poultry and dairy products — is limited. For example, eating one egg for breakfast, drinking two cups of coffee with one tablespoon of half-and-half each, lunching on four ounces of lean turkey breast without skin and one tablespoon of mayonnaise, and having a 6-ounce serving of broiled, short loin porterhouse steak for dinner would account for about 510 mg of dietary cholesterol that day — nearly twice the recommended limit. If you're going to eat an egg every morning, substitute vegetables for some of the meat, or drink your coffee without half-and-half in the example above. And remember that many other foods, especially baked goods, are prepared with eggs — and those eggs count toward your daily cholesterol limit. People with high LDL blood cholesterol levels or who are taking a blood cholesterol-lowering medication should eat less than 200 mg of cholesterol per day.

Hope everyone had a easy monday!!! Having some turkey, 1/2c brown rice, and some spinach for supper. Washing it down with a cup of hot tea.
