Breakfast: Carrot, green cabbage and red cabbage with oat groats, and banana.

Dinner: 2 bowls of black bean soup, consisting of black beans, red onion, celery, sweet potato, mushrooms, tomatoes, collards, kale and brown rice.

Good afternoon,
Beautiful sunny day but I didn’t go for my walk because my back is giving me issues.
So I stayed home and cooked. I cooked a multi grain hot cereal consisting of: whole oat groats, millet, barley, quinoa, rye and spelt. It took an hour to cook, but it has a good flavor.

Lunch: small baked potato with salsa and a small air fried sweet potato with carrot, green cabbage and red cabbage.

Dinner: Since I am out of cooked brown rice, I will substitute the multi grain cereal in its place. So for dinner I will have the hearty black bean soup with the multi grain cereal.

Hi everyone,

My back is still having spasms so no exercise today. Besides, I have errands I have to run.

Breakfast: Broccoli, cauliflower and carrot.

Lunch: Rice, pinto beans, corn and tomatoes. Yum!

Your multi-grain cereal sounds good ! One of the things I am doing is trying different grains. This week I made steel cut oats and quinoa 50/50 blended and cooked in my intant pot. I have made oat groats and love them and also barley groats which is very good too!

Hope your back feels better soon. I have had back spasms in the past and it is terrible ! Made me feel like not doing anything to upset things. I ended up going to a chiropractor and then doing exercises to help and eventually losing enough weight to make a difference. I think that is why I go walking so much.....don't want it to come back. Anyway, hopefully it is getting better so YOU feel better !

Thank you squealcat!

I am looking into chiropractors for my leg and back issues. Like you, I love my walks but the pain gets in the way. The multi-grain cereal is one of the meals that was served at one of the McDougall 10 day programs that I attended. I have really enjoyed trying different McDougall recipes! Most of them have been keepers!

Not sure if it’s your lower back or not. I just wanted to share that I have been having hip issues and I started doing these 4 exercises everyday and they seem to have really helped me. Here is the link if you want to try them:

Good afternoon,

I went for a 3 mile walk this morning, and it was warm, 68 degrees. Was I ever glad to get back home! I just do not handle the heat well as I get overheated easily. I love to walk when the temp is in the mid 50’s, it’s invigorating.

Brunch: Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and red bell pepper. A bit later I had oat groats with a banana and blueberries.

[goal140]

This morning I had a salad with Swiss chard, spinach, romaine and red leaf lettuce. Along with the salad I had oat groats with banana and blueberries.

Dinner found me eating pinto beans with brown rice, corn, tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, onion, carrot and potatoes with some nutritional yeast.
