What we are eating and what's eating us.Saturday!
wow! Looks like Im not the ONLY NIGHT person here! Im still up..creating mandalas.
I made a huge pot of chicken soup yesterday in between my tomato sauce batches. It's loaded with pearl barley, assorted beans (black, pinto, brown, white and pink), minced veggies and extra lean ground chicken. It's very filled and satisfying and high in protein & fibre. So that's what I eat for lunch, supper & snacks and my protein shake from breakfast.
I have no head hunger anymore due to my subliminal CD and also because I use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to help myself remain in control when I have a sudden cravings or temptation.
It's been hot here all week and now, for the weekend, RAIN STORMS! Im looking forward to meeting Joyce & John for dinner tonight and Joyce's youngest daughter, JJ.
Well, my "baby" is on his way home from work...his part time job for a little extra $$$ since his BIG season is WINTER for his business. He has THREE dumptrucks & articulated V-plows ready and a pickup truck w/ a straight blade (& industrial salt spreader) more suitable for smaller residential driveways...so his business is really growing.
Oh yes, I didnt mention what his part-time job is, did I...he is a BOUNCER at a local club (mama is so proud-rolls her eyes ) but he says it pays his gas for all of his dumptrucks. Yes, there is dignity in ALL work. *s* He is 6'4 and 275 pounds so he is GOOD at it....lol.
Your food sounds great, I love beans. In AZ, we have fresh veggies all year round so I am blessed. I have been known to have beans and eggs for breakfast (my New Mexico influence no doubt).
My cravings are subsided also, I will never "taste" anything at anyone's prompying anymore, I simply say "I do not eat when I am not hungry".
I establish the validity of anything I put in mouth, such a blessing indeed.
With our different time zones,jobs, and sleeping patterns, this is definitely a 24/7 forum. Smile...so good to see you girl!
WHAT WE FEAR,WE CREATE.
had my pcp visit yesterday...my thyroid levels were way off..dah? She said she couldn't believe I could stay awake all day. I thought my depression was getting worse was the reason for lack of energy after work. My loss of large amts of hair also was the thyroid prob. I convinced her to check mine more often especially with changes coming with poss upcoming wls. My hair texture also was changed to a fine fuzz with no shine. Thanks Linda for encouraging me to get that checked...yes, I know I'm a nurse but when it comes to myself I think differently. I also lost 2 more pounds...she was pleased with my wt loss of 32#. My other labs came back excellent.
My sugar was slightly elevated but less than last visit. Started my new dose of thyroid med this am, I know it'll take a few wks to take effect but I'm so relieved it's something that can be fixed. Go back in 2 months for a recheck.

Never forget doctors work for US. They are not the grand poo bobs some of them seem to think they are.
I find getting them to put things in writting makes them re-think much.
Good show girl!!
Hugs!

Linda is extremely good on knowing nutrition and what we need or what our food plan for the day is lacking. I respect her a lot. Besides, she is a sweetie too.
Welcome, George and we hope that we see each morning too.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
So George, I would say it is what ever floats your boat.
it's all about what works for you. WHAT WE FEAR,WE CREATE.
