Sounds good. You will definitely melt off some pounds with the walking. My DH and I try to get in long walks in the evenings. It helps him unwind from work and get in some steps too. Plus, an added benefit for my asthma and high blood pressure.
Welcome! Cutting back on carbs does help a lot. I've discovered zoodles are amazing!! SO so good and not as much work as I was expecting. Good for you for losing so much already!
Protein! I didn't even think of that, but that's probably a good idea. I've been focusing so much on healthy snacks that my protein is probably not really high. Especially on work days. I have half fat yogurt with blueberries and oats for breakfast, a piece of fruit for a snack,half of a whole-grain bagette with a bit of olive oil and seasoning salt for lunch (baked), and I got some rice cakes on sale this week for an after work snack, but dinner is so hard. By dinner time, I've already been going for 10 hours....I don't have the energy to cook a big meal. But I'm thinking there's probably not much protein in that diet, and quite a lot of carbs....I will have to take a look at that, thank you!!
You’re welcome! And you can thank my DD. She told me to add some at each meal whether it’s yogurt, beans, fish, chicken in order to get my energy levels up. So I have and it works!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a zen day or 2 to let your muscles repair.
Welcome and CONGRATS!
Listen to your body! I have had both knees scoped and one more than once.
Sorry but what are aduke beans and wakame?Winter seems to be back so Lots of Leslie Sansone and yoga with Adrienne. Tonight aduke beans with ginger, onions, garlic, broccoli, miso and a bit of wakame. I'm still deciding between brown rice or quinoa. As usual it will most likely be what my human garbage disposals leave me
The aduke are just a small bean with a mild flavor that supposedly has more protein and fiber. I call it what was on sale plus coupon LOL. W in that when it goes in liquid it form small squaresakame is dried seaweed, sort of like shredded nori
Smart girl, your DD!! I hadn't noticed that I wasn't eating much protein...I was so focused on not eating fat and sugary, but still making sure I got fiber. I tried eating plain yogurt for a while, but I just can't....I tried for like 3 months to choke it down every morning with some fruit, and I just don't like it. So now I get vanilla, but is there protein in yogurt? I'll have to see if I can get some low sodium turkey slices or something to go with my lunch for protein.You’re welcome! And you can thank my DD. She told me to add some at each meal whether it’s yogurt, beans, fish, chicken in order to get my energy levels up. So I have and it works!
I wish I could. I'm scheduled every day this week, every day next week except for Friday (King's Day) and I was scheduled every day last week except Friday (DH's birthday). We're so completely swamped at work...we got a record number of orders last Monday, so they asked everyone to come in early if they could or stay late. So I got 3 extra hours in just by coming in 30 minutes early and staying 15 minutes late the whole week, and then I'm scheduled every work day for the next 2 weeks as well. So between work, school runs, and just the daily stuff....laundry, grocery shopping, meal prep, etc., I'm on the go about 10 hours out of the day, and there's nothing I can cut out to have a zen day. I'm going to Germany to visit a friend the first weekend in May, so I do have some downtime scheduled, but not for a few weeks.
Still? Tell mother nature to go home....she's obviously drunk! It's supposed to be 84 degrees here tomorrow!! We don't usually get this warm until July! And even then, that's a pretty high temperature for here. So we have extreme heat for this time of year, and you have extreme cold. What is UP with that?
Ok now I’m curious. I have have to check these out. Thanks for explaining!
Yes! Just look at your labels and it will tell you how many grams of protein is in it. I eat Siggi’s brand skyr which is a thicker yogurt. I love the berry flavors. They have a vanilla too. The strawberry has 15g of protein.
My DD and DH both have schedules like you all the time! Lol They say they will rest when they can—maybe next year.
I make sure DH eats right, walks when he gets home, and relaxes at night before bed. He likes to read so that is putting some zen back in his life.
