I am excited for the official weigh in~~I have been off sugar for 5 months now, I will not lie I did eat 'bites' here and there during the holidays~~~was a bit afraid it would make me go hog wild~~but I was soo good;) Being off the sugar, helped me cut down on my chips/salt addiction also.

I know I have only lost a bit of weight and I did not get off of sugar and reduce salt to lose weight~~~that has been an added plus. My 'muffin top' is smaller and I think I lost one of my back fat flaps;) Or they just finally blended together. All of my clothings fits better AND I am sitting here typing with my wedding ring on! I have not worn it for years~~~

I have a scale here at home, but it is over 30 years old and not up to snuff~~~so we shall see;)

Tell me the good, bad and ugly about cats!

Thanks to you all for posting the pic for me! natal, Thanks! I had to postpone the vet appt to Tuesday. My dryer quit working and had to get it fixed that day. sable, I will definately ask the vet if it could possibly be asthma. She still does it a lot! Funny thing about her, I was ready for her to be a "talker" since she is a siamese mix, and she hardly talks! Maybe she will as she gets older? bestyears, she is doing great with my son! She still loves my DH the best though. My son wants to carry her around, when she would rather be sleeping, I think. He sometimes picks her up when she's in her little post (in the pic), asleep. tjerrilynn, that is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen! I love his (or her) haircut! marlene, thank you and I am glad to hear about the male and female cats together. I am going to seriously start looking for another one. betsyhac, your cats are so pretty and full-figured-LOL! June is on the skinny side now, and I'm guessing she will be until she gets out of the kitten stage. I wonder what she will look like when she's all mature! She plays with us a lot now, and is very curious. She loves to lay on her back and let us rub her belly until she falls asleep, so cute! I got a hooded kitty litter box and she likes it, thank goodness! It has been much easier to keep clean around the box now. I put one of those rubber (I think) kind of pads down in front of her box as she walks out and it has made such a difference, plus the hood on the box. She has Softpaws on her nails right now, baby blue to match her eyes! We just love her!

Blood work great news!
Q

Thanks! I was sooo afraid she would put me on meds. Mom takes meds for it, and dad had meds and 6 shots a day for it. I just didn't want to start that yet. I told DH that I had to keep doing what I'm doing, no matter what the blood work said. It will be really hard once we start traveling again for the summer, but he's already been told that my big food processor is going with us. I found a recipe for spelt flour biscuits that I have been using for breakfast. I mix them in the fp and bake them, and bake eggs, cook my bacon ahead of time. Then my breakfast gets nuked and eaten for the day instead of grabbing toast for breakfast. It's gotta be better for me. He has also been told no more going 6-8 hours between meal stops. 4-5 is about my limit. I hope he listens! He did remember last Sat. when we had a day out. I made breakfast before we left and by 12:30 he was stopping for lunch. Dinner was getting pretty late for me and I could feel it, but we were going out with his sister and bil. They served a loaf of warm wheat bread right away, so I had just half a slice of that to tide me over. When we are on the road, test kit goes where I go! Guess I will find out how it works on the road in two weeks. We will be headed for VA for a wedding. Invitation came yesterday for a cousin of his, and we are going. This cousin's wife died of cancer almost two years ago. The memeorial service was in June when she passed, and then in Nov. she was interred in Arlington Nat'l Cemetary, and we went for that. I am sure she is very happy for him. She was that kind of person. We will definitly be going! Special people to us, as you can tell by the fact that we drove 7 hours each way, and spent the money for rooms twice. This is an older cousin of DH's. Thanks for the encouragement. I need it! Tami

What's for dinner Tuesday?
Q
Comments (12)
I'm always late when I do post on 'What's for dinner'. My husband is up at 3:20 a.m. and I am up at 4:35 a.m. and we go to bed really early, so I never get online in the evenings..... But we do eat :-) So I like to post once in a while at least! We had cheesy scalloped potatoes with ham, and baby lima beans for dinner last night, and a bowl of sugar free butterscotch pudding for desert. It was a pretty carb heavy dinner, but such a nice change from the usual. Night before was a stuffed pepper half (stuffed with Spanish rice) and fresh asparagus... yummm..... And the night before that was a big fresh veggie salad (cauliflower, green and yellow bell peppers, radish, green onions, carrots, celery) with a homemade honey raspberry vinaigrette! So many good things to eat..... so few dinners in a weeks time! I love to cook and to try new recipes, but I also like to fix our old favorites :-)

Regardless of the pounds you have lost, that is great!

Why not 'treat' yourself to a new bath scale? I got the one linked below and it is consistent in weighing down to 1/10th of a pound.

Keep up the good work. I admire you that you have cut out the sugar 'almost' entirely...a good thing.

YEA!! I have lost 12 lbs~~~I have been going to an Ayruvedic counselor for the last 5 months~~from my name you know I do Yoga~~Ayruveda is the sister to yoga. It is a different way of eating, being and living. I can not explain it all to you here, I am a work in progress.

I have for about 5 years now been making several life style changes~~Yoga which includes meditation. I also took yoga teacher training classes, I do not care to teach just wanted the information. I go to a life coach and 5 months ago I added Ayruveda. I became a vegetarian a year ago also~~~~I have just been trying to practice loving kindness and mindfulness (this includes mindful eating). I have had so much stress in my life in the last 4-5 years. I knew I had to do something and this is what I have done and it seems to be working for me;)

Chemcurl~~my DD#1 has that scale~~~I really do not want a scale, if I lose weight as I am making my life changes that will be the frosting on the cake for me;) I do not want to get on the diet/scale watching train again, I have been their too many times you all could call me YoYoLady.

I was really into it today knowing that the first thing they do at the dr's, is weigh you. I knew I had lost weight my pants fit so much better~~

I never used sugar much in coffee or tea and I gave up soda years ago~~~my sugar addiction came from , my junk food and candy bars every night~~~ice cream~~~donuts and junky cookies~~~~I guess you would say from overly processed foods~~~I am trying to kick my chips habit now. I am not ask bad with chips, but I do want to give them up!

I was shock when, I gave it all up~~~I have never really missed them~~I was a person that would hide and sneak candy;)

I LOVE this thread and hearing about your 'new you'. I can't remember how often we replace all our cells with new ones (gradually, of course). It's pretty often. We can also make new pathways in our brains. That's *sweet*!

Thank you Chisue~~~'new pathways in our brains' that is a good way to put it~~~some family/friends think I am going off my rocker;) I call it becoming my 'true authentic' self~~I had my 1st child at 18~~the last at 35, when my son moved out I turned 60 and I was like WOW!!! I can really be my own free spirited self now;) Luckily my DH has known since forever that I was a free spirit underneath my 'mommie hat'~~~and is OK with my new Spiritual Journey as long as I do not drift away from him;)

Chemocurl, I have that scales too..it is easy to read. I lost over 100lbs. My DH passed away and I think I wanted to go with him..I call it my grief diet.I am now at 85 pounds. Not a good look. I had a knee replacement on 11/26/2012 and will have the other knee done on 01/25/2013..two weeks from yesterday. I'll be able to get out and walk soon. I'm 76 years old.

Donna~~so sorry about you DH, that has to be so hard. You are only 85 lbs?? They can do surgeries when you hardly weigh anything? It will be nicer weather by the time you can get out and start walking~~that is good.

YogaLady1948, Yes, 85 lbs..I look pretty bad these days. I hope your Dr. visit was just what you wanted to hear. None of the Doctors's seemed worried about the taking care of the knee replacements..maybe they would have if it had been a heart or something more serious. I see that you are a vegitarian, so am I..for about 4 or 5 years now. Good luck with all of your endevors.
