How is every one doing today?

Feeling Tired today, and this make me feel like grazing! Also makes me feel miserable! Darn hormones and hot flashes!!

Been having trouble sleeping, and when I am over tired, all I want to do is graze. Got some eggs on to hard boil. Need to have something easy to snack on protein wise. Need to get to the store and get some turkey to make roll ups. Filled up my water pitcher with some lovely lemon slices to keep sipping on too.

Hope every one has a good day.

Hi Maria!  You've got some great ideas!  It's perfect to have things made up already for when we are in that terrible grazing mood. 

Ive been eating very well and even exercising!  But I only lost .4 lbs!  Hahaha!  Crazy. I realized though that I haven't been drinking all of my water. So today I am and eating right. I will go walking later today and thankfully it's a gorgeous day. I think that if I stick with it, I will eventually begin to lose the weight. I'm excited about the summer and I want to look good and feel good again. 

Good luck and thanks for posting!

Way to go Ruthie!

Cant always count on that darn scale! Sounds like you are doing every thing right. It will pay off! Hang in there. 

Sunny here but still cold 44 degrees, but the sunshine is glorious!

Hi Maria,

Sorry to hear your having a rough day. I'm bipolar and had a very manic day yesterday. Ran around like a chicken with its head off. Today much better. Funny your getting turkey roll ups. I just had deli chicken breast slice roll ups for lunch.

I used to graze a lot. I just never felt satisfied. I don't think it was emotional eating more just boredom and brain thought it was hungry.

I'm glad you are sipping your water. The lemon slices make a huge difference.

Hope you get some rest tonight. 

Take care,

Amie

Great minds think alike Amie!

Glad today is a better day. Must be difficult running like that all day! Makes me tired just thinking about it!

Sometimes I think grazing reminds me to make time to eat a real meal. When I sit down and eat my protein and veggies and pay attention, it seems to help me feel full, rather than me eating over the sink or popping something in my mouth every time I go through the kitchen.

Hope you have an awesome day. 

Yoga tonight, and yoga nights I seem to sleep better.

I can relate to what you are going through. Ugh! I do miss grazing and have a hard time knowing what to grab and snack on. I think there are just days where we are one reason or another more hungry than other days. On those days, we need a quick easy low calorie/fat zero carb snack to grab. But I can only do so many hard boiled eggs or so much string cheese before I give in to things I shouldn't 

Maria -- I was lucky, I never had hot flashes!  (I am supposing it's because I had an endometrial ablation year ago - one of the best things I ever did.)

Sounds like you are well prepared.....pre-planning is very important.  Does your plan call for three meals/two-three snacks a day, or just three meals?  I often wonder which is better.  Amazing how plans can differ from one another.  

My plan does call for the 3 meals and 2 snacks. 

If it was only the 3 meals I don't think I could do it.
