***Monday Bites, Vites & Exercites***

Good to see you! A few greasy chips shouldn't hurt. Ain't it great?

 It is wonderful. I ate those chips and didnt torture myself about it. My relationship with food is so much healthier now that nothing is off limits! I find that I eat far less of the bad things and that I truly enjoy eating for what it is now :)

Hello All.  I think I'm ready to take the plunge and try to put in the effort to lose about 10 to 15 pounds to get myself in the normal BMI range.  I've pledged to give up all refined sugar for a month and stick with the Kayla 2:1 protein to carb rule.  Here's what manic monday looked like:

B-Protein Coffee
S- Deli ham and roast beef -about 2 servings
S-Couple handfuls of mixed nuts (that have enough almonds to keep me at 2:1)
L- 2/3 can of beanless chilli with lots of melted colby cheese
S- Handful of cherry tomatoes
S- about a cup of buttered popcorn puffs- temptation called.  I'll say no today.
D- Fage yogurt with S/F cherry jam and a few bites of beef stroganof

I've got my morning tender iron worked in.  Also, I'm so excited.  My bill came back from LabCorp for my huge annual lab draw.  Insurance covered it all except my deductible!  No arguing about pre-existing conditions.  I am making an appointment with a hemotologist to try to get iron infusions.  I'm really hopeful it may be covered!

Great to have you posting here, Ann. Looks like you're doing the right things.

Congrats on getting your labs covered this time. ~~Awesome~~~

Sorry to drop in and go guys, surprise surprise 1 day of actually eating enough and I lost 4 lbs, and am 1 lb under my signature line (208)... sometimes you feel dumb when you forget simple things and get busy with life
