The first time my brother went to Venezuela he was wary of most of the food. There is a little packet of crackers Club Social and they are on every resturant table like bread is in the US. When my brother could not find anything else to eat, he filled up on the Club Social crackers.
A year later his mother-in-law came to the US to visit him. She was so proud to open one suitcase that was completely filled with Club Social crackers and told him she bought them because she knew he loved them so much.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I think lots of people post yesterday's meals. Whatever works, right?
Personally, I need to post a plan for the day and then feel the crushing weight of guilt when I have to admit in my accountability the next day that I screwed up, even though I am sure no one is paying any attention to what changed. :/
I like that you can use that program anywhere and without equipment - sounds like a great tool especially for the body scan. I will check it out - gotta love technology!! I have the Nordictrack Vault which I want to use - it has tons of built in workouts on the mirror screen that uses the equipment it comes with. I've had it for 2+years and have rarely used it. I've dusted it more times than I've worked out. All this talk is motivating me! Thank you!

I want all the muscles! I had a muscular build my whole life and was always unusually strong until after WLS. I know there was significant muscle wasting. I want to feel strong again and nice arms would not hurt my feelings!!

Great pic's! What do you mean you've had muscle and strength loss from Ozempic? I didn't know that was thing! Why does that happen?

Yay for treadmill adulting!!! You have so much on your plate, can Ron help with walking Rudy or getting dinner started to free up some of your time?

Only controversial in that happy hour became a daily thing in our house for far to long! Otherwise, being at home in my lounge wear and no commute was heaven!

Jim, I saw something about a school lockdown at the airport yesterday, "AU" but people were not sure if it was Auburn or Alabama, I think your youngest is at one of them, I hope it was whichever wasn't having the situation!

The work walk! For me they were very nice, but started to stress me out! I want to find a way to make it work again. Maybe just 10 minutes instead of 20-30? Hum.

G'morning all!
Yma, glad to hear you are improving from your fall. If I may get on my soapbox about weights vs cardio. Cardio is good for your heart (hence called cardio) but weights will define your body. I used to be a cardio person until I saw the results I can get with weights. If it were up to me I'd do only weights. There is a program that I highly recommend called Zing. It's all AI. It scans you from your phone to see where you need to concentrate on and then it plans your workouts. You input the equipment you have at home, or complete lack of equipments, and it adjusts your workout. I love it because even when I travel and I'm in a hotel I can tell it I have zero equipment with me, or I have only bands, and it changes my workouts. You can choose the frequency and the amount of time. I have seen great results since May when I joined.
QOTD: hard to say. I guess when I was the most carefree with very little responsibility but school. College years were the happiest. School, friends, parties, repeat. There were a group of us from different disciplines (med, law, humanities, econ, etc) who had taken over a corner of the library for us. Everybody knew that table belonged to us. We all studied together, went to lunch together, and had tons of cigarette breaks together while discussing how to solve world problems. Life was good and we were on top of the world.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- Chicken skewer + chicken salad I made during the weekend (it's mostly shredded chicken, onions, carrots, cornichon, Greek yogurt instead of mayo, lemon juice, spices. It's perfect as a sandwich filler which DH likes).
- Protein pumpkin iced coffee, barebells bar
- Protein Icecream - chocolate pumpkin (not a good combo)
- E: 6 miles wog
Happy Taco Tue!
