Hello all...
Findinghope...Don't rain on my parade about my scale struggles..I have a relaible scale that I had purchased back in the 80s when I entered the dieting land..I have a non digital, doctor office scale with a sliding block,..which I had it made by a local factory that cost me $ 500 and nothing is wrong with my scale..as I mentioned,,,I deal with water weight...and my left ankle is puffy than the right ankle...I blame myself for the ups and downs weight is the sodium.foods that keeps flucating like that..Sodium is in everything..and all..So do not judge me on my weight struggles Thanks ..
I was doing good and was under 400...Sodium is bad and trying to keep my sodium level under 3000 or less ...I party with load of sodium foods and now my scale is moving down again.
What I had recall..sweating is good and am going to dance an hour to start each night...I am back tracking calories,fat,fiber,sodium,carbs on my nurtution handheld device. I am also giving up eating cakes,fast foods,breads/rolls..which all foods are loaded with salt!!! even deli turkey is salt..
My body is telling me to get moving and my left ankle is big than the right ankle..I am going to drink water ...and 3 cups coffee limit.. My food staples will be no salt nuts, fruits, canned beans,which I drain and rise in cold water
I am not giving up!! I was planning to join a gym..but changed in plans and will do home exercise...Need to watch closely of my mom and disabled sister...My caregiver duties..
I will keep in touch...and watch your sodium level..folks with pressure is allowed 1500..but since will do a daily moderate workout to sweat the salt out..

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
That's what poor man foods consist of, n yes even deli meats n salads.
I fish n hunt n grow veg garden.
In winter I often use canned mixed greens n certain beans.
Deer meat being the leaness followed by turkey breast followed by skinless chicken breast... I use dark meats of birds for my dogs n my neighbor pets.yes I'v served up dark bird meat to people that I dislike,lol
Maybe this summer u can have a small garden.
everything can be frozen.
regarding potatoes, I wrap n bake them. I leave them on foil n cut in half n wrap the open end n foil,n then freeze.
I leave hull on, put them in bag n freeze them. with hull still on, I mico wave an ear of corn for 5 minutes. after it cools, then I shuck it.
Get to know local fishers n hunters n butchers. Better yet go fishing n/r hunting n/r put on pr of bib overalls.
The islanders are soo right.
