I have been through this before so I recognize it and know what to do.  The numbers on the scale have been steadily going down. It's now stopped and I know what the next step is.  MOVE  Like most older life long obese persons I am now having back issues and knee issues. Not bad, but enough to make me say I will exercise tomorrow.  Well, its tomorrow.  Although I use to be a gym rat I really don't want to go that route for now.

Plan A, tackle cardio first and then add resistance.  I am going to try walking and if that does not work get some air in my bike tires.  I also bought an exercise ball.  If you have never used one it's a great workout and also therapy for your back.

Plan B, if I can't do plan A due to my knee and back issues I will find a pool somewhere.

Wish me luck

I buy regular ole store bought multi-vitamins.  I buy the adult gummies.  For my vitamin D I order from Vitalady.com  She has had the surgery and her vitamims are made for us.  I do not absorb Iron so I don't take it.  When needed I get and infusion.  Had a series 5 years ago and haven't needed one since.  Vitalady is reasonable.  I have purchased online from Bariatric eating as well.  Their vitamins are also made with us in mind, if memory serves they are a little more expensive than vitalady.

B - Protein Atkins Advantage Shake

L - Green chicken soup that I make

S - Quest PB Protein Cups

D - Crock Pot Chicken w/Salsa, black beans, a few (~9 bite size) tortilla chips

S - Probably another Atkins shake, maybe with an apple

Exercise - 35 minutes of cardio at the gym, plus biceps and triceps strength training.

I'm a big Buckeye fan, so I'm on the edge of my seat with the game tonight. Stomach may not be able to handle my snack tonight. We'll see.

I enjoy just baked portobello mushrooms with olive oil and garlic. YUMMY!!

Good Morning Everyone

Today my house is totally torn up.  I have removed everything from three bedrooms so the carpet cleaner can get to all the nooks and crannies.  As a result the uncarpeted rooms are loaded.  I can't extend my recliner and I can't open my refrigerator.  So eats will be a little more complicated.  I would normally go to my protein drinks or bars but can't have them for a month.  I am having blood work a month apart to see it  I can get off my coumidin permanently.  I am off it for the 30 days so I can't have soy.l  I see eating out in my future today.

B - boiled egg and oat nut bread

Lunch  Carraba's grilled chicken with tomato and cucumber

D -  I always have leftovers so more grilled chicken and tomato, cucumber salad.

I have taken my supliments and I am drinking water.

My exercise for today will be putting back all the furniture.
