RaptureTicketHolder said:Afternoon greetings!
Your ideas and focus sound wonderful. I wont be able to weigh in - I dont have a scale here at home!! I usually go to a nearby gym and use that scale on occasion. I can tell when the weight is coming or going, thanks to that comfort level.
But I will still be happy to post what I do, my thoughts and help for you, and where I go wrong.
As to folks making fun, Ill try to stay on top of that with the report button.
Not to worry, if you see something like that, use it as motivation of what not to be.
Today, I did get to the zoo and walked. Right now its late afternoon and Im tired - I could go to sleep. Why does that happen?
Im gonna make sloppy joe's tonight w/ground turkey and low sodium sauce. Im making the boys fries and I might have just a few, but not a full serving. I hope to make another veggie to go w/it. Im gonna have water to drink.
Whats a good alternative to fries?
I like the idea of having salads. They are so refreshing on a hot summer day.
If you have trouble eating veggies, Id suggest a veggie chilli. Its a wonderful option to get in those veggies and you can opt out of the meat.
Well, best wishes for the evening. Ill post again in the morning.
I struggle with my wieght because of my appetite, I pray for victory and little by little He is changing my eating desires. I love all of those things we shouldn't have like anything sweet and of course, fries. But in the last couple of years I became vegetarian and am now vegan (no animal products including dairy or eggs). I have never felt better. For fries I scrub my potatoes and slice them with the skins. Then I put a small amount of virgin olive oil on a rimmed cookie sheet and roll the fries in it to coat. I then salt them and bake for 20 min. at 400 degrees. After 20 min. I turn them over for another 10 or so min. I like mine crisy so I cut them thin. Olive oil is very good for us in moderation. Salt is needed in small quantities. I salt mine because I eat mostly raw or steamed food with no salt in the processing. Nearly every canned or other packaged food is loaded with salt and sugar (another killer). So I buy foods that have nothing but water and maybe salt. One of the most beneficial things I have learned is that when my body says I am hungry it is really needing water. So I drink water whenever I get a craving between meals. It helps with the munchies and the complextion. I hope you enjoy your dieting otherwise it won't last. But it can be fun experimenting with new and healthy food. I became vegetarian after a serious illness that nearly took my life. When I turned to our Blessed Savior for help He lead me to a more natural diet. My sisterly love through our Great Physican
