Just checking in - sorry to report that I fell off the wagon and it rolled away out of sight for a bit. I have been eating almost close to SAD - I am not going to beat myself up about it though. I am looking down the road and I can see the back end of the wagon -- hopefully, I will be quick enough to catch it and hop back on.
I am back to eating my tri-grain flakes, riced cauliflower, blueberries, with flax seed in the mornings.
What I have been eating to get back on track:
1 batch of Yellow split pea Dal, served with rice - recipe from Spruce Eats. I love that recipe.
boiled some potatoes and had with Brussels Sprouts
Used left over potatoes and broth they were cooked in and made a pot of bean soup - onion, carrot, celery, potato and bean
Salads - I am trying to add salads to my meals to get those veggies in.
I won't mention the junk I have been eating. Hoping to get back on track 100% soon. I am trying to get family members to put $5.00 in and do a biggest loser challenge - the consensus is it's only $5.00 so no big deal. UGH! Cannot afford more. I was hoping a $$ challenge would put a fire under my feet. But I really need to focus on health as the prize.
Hopefully, I get back on track again - my weight is back to where I started when I started this journey, so I am back to square 1.
My exercise is sporadic - and not very much. Although with this cold snap we had, I had to split some wood manually - our wood splitter is out of commission. So, I got a good work out for 2 days doing that.
I tried to take my puppy (she is 60 pounds now) for a walk down the road. I wanted to go on a trail in the woods, but there was a branch that had fallen on the road and it spooked her - she refused to go further and turned and ran for home. I don't think she will be much protection when we go camping.
