Sorry I missed you today, @figmentfan423 ! I have been busy trying to get my printer to work. I had to finally delete it, then add it again. I hate that thing!!
Anyhoo, I have been up since before 8 am this morning, which is early if you know my schedule. LOL
I got my walking in yesterday evening before the DH came home to mow. I may wait a bit to see if we can walk after dinner. It is supposed to rain, but we shall wait and see. We really like to walk after work, so he can unwind and we can share our day before settling down for the night.
Breakfast was yogurt and granola. Lunch is a turkey and veggie sandwich (1/2) and fruit. Dinner is chicken and tomato avocado salad. Sipping on crystal light drops in my water all day. It is the only way I can drink water!!
Everybody take care of your aches and pains!! Tough to get older!! Have a glorious and happy afternoon guys!!

Went very well thanks
No change is hard. If you need a little sweetness to get used to the smoothies try stevia, no carbs and much more natural. Not like nasty artificial sweeteners. I've got to give you lots of credit because change isn't easy at our age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too late bacon is EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read the labels sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!At the risk of incurring the wrath of Figgynothing tastes good with tofu
I don't eat as much tofu and tempeh as you think! LOL There's a rainbow of beans out there. I like edame in salads and I also like quinoa, just make sure to rinse it very well.

I have been adding beans to salad. Like red beans, black beans and such mixed into salad. Surprisingly good!

So now I am going to ask for some advice...I looked at some jars of five bean salad at Sam's Club the other day. It looked really good, but had about 10 grams of sugar per serving, so I did not buy it. Do you think a person could pour it in a colander and rinse thoroughly, and make it better or best to just avoid it? I like the idea of a pre made bean salad, and like the vinegar base they are pickled in, but don't like the idea of that much sugar and no idea how to make my own.
Yes rinsing will help a bit but I really like to make my own so I can control what goes in it. I soak and cook my own beans and for bean salad I like apple cider vinegar. But that's just me, my dh is on a low sodium diet and I cook almost everything in the house from scratch.

I bet my wife will help figure out how to do that with apple cider vinegar...so, stevia in place of sugar?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's natural carb and calorie free. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than sugar.

Just found a five bean salad recipe on food.com. Will try it with sugar substitute.

Thank you!
YEA and congrats! Now remember lots of fresh veggies will help reduce your sugar naturally.
You are quite welcome!
