My weight loss update:
I haven't been able to eat exactly as the diet prescribes again today, but I felt like I did really well. My diet has to fit my lifestyle for me to stay with it. It is difficult to eat exactly as the diet menu plans lay out.
I wasn't hungry at breakfast and the book The 100 tells me if I am not hungry I don't have to eat.
A friend called me this morning and asked me to go to lunch. So I went and enjoyed lunch with my friend. We went to Paradise Bakery which allowed me to custom make my salad. I had a mixture of lettuces and spinach with tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, chicken and bacon. This is basically the same salad I would have made at home according to plan.
My son went out tonight with a friend and my husband wanted to go to dinner. He chose to go to Red Robin. I got a burger wrapped in lettuce. I had them remove anything that wasn't on my plan. I had a salad with it. It was a salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. They had put on croutons, I removed them. I used about a teaspoon of balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
At home, I decided to eat a hard boiled egg in the evening. No cravings!!!
I worked out with the Kettle Ball! It was really fun!!
I am 58, overweight again, and trying to get healthy. I am blogging about weight loss and everyday issues for women. My blog will include ramblings about the daily life of a mother, grandmother, wife and friend. I would love to have you come along for the ride!
Thank you SO SO much for the shout out, Betty! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did great today! You had me going for a moment, I thought you ate lunch at the same place as I did today! My salad was IDENTICAL except no tomatoes. LOL!
I wanna warn you; watch out for the sodium snuck in at Red Robin. If you see a tick up, it's that. If so, next time, you might want to consider specifically asking them to hold the added salt on the meat. :)
GREAT job! the scale will reward you! :)
You are welcome, Gwen. You have a fantastic blog! Thanks, so far it hasn't been too difficult. I have just had trouble eating his exact meal plans, but I don't know that it is that important.
DeleteI know salt is an issue, I guess I will have to ask for special meals most places to avoid that.
I frequent many of those blogs. All inspirational and great reads!
ReplyDeleteAren't they! Love them all!
DeleteHi Betty! Thank you so much for listing me in this super list! I feel so flattered!
ReplyDeleteYou did super well with food. And I also don't eat when I'm not hungry--which cut a LOT of calories for me. Hard boiled eggs are very satisfying for the calories. :D
:-) Marion
You have a fantastic blog and attitude. I believe many people can learn from you. Most diets tell you not to skip meals, especially breakfast. I am just going to eat when I am hungry.
DeleteIt's always a challenge to lose weight and keep if off.. it's great when you have support... good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Launna! Support is one of the keys to losing weight!
DeleteThanks for the mention Betty :) You're doing well... keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynda! I hope other people come over and are able to enjoy your blog!
DeleteI have had a lot of burgers wrapped in lettuce since I can't eat gluten :) It sounds like you're doing great so far!
ReplyDeleteI am trying! I asked at Red Robin and they said they could put any burger in lettuce. I guess that means I just need to ask. I think most places are willing to do that.
DeleteI just love Gwen's blog too! She's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYes, she is! I hope you take time to look at some of the others. There are some great bloggers there.
DeleteLove this blog! Thank you for all the great blog tips too! Gonna have to catch up with these!

DeleteOutside support is awesome, isn't it?? I'd like to work out with a Kettle ball, I have never tried it to date.
ReplyDeleteYou should go get you a kettle ball and try it. I bet you would like it. You can work so many areas of your body with a few moves.
