TRYING TO GET HEALTHY Community Group

Thought we could use a newer version of all topics we may want to work on. From losing weight to reducing cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, activities to strengthen not just our bodies, but also our battered and bruised egos and self esteem...A place where we can share knowledge as well as encouragement to help each other to grow stronger and healthier. All are...

Getting Healthy Again...

Group Founderveggiequeen

I was amazed to stumble back here and see the dates... and feel the familiarity... And here I am. 


IT IS JUNE 27,2021. I am officially declaring I am back on track again.  This time intending for good. This past week, I have only brought healthy food into the house.  Prepped and chopped ahead so ready to go. Is actually hard to make decisions with so many good options. YUM


Also getting moving. Doing stretches, repetitions of old PT exercises... riding the bike as well as other ways to be more active. It is definitely helping my mobility. A friend also mentioned magnesium helping with nerves and circulation. I started to take that as well. She mentioned the T vinegar with warm water to boost metabolism. I did try that but is rather wicked down the throat. (I already have issues with acid reflux... according to DR which causes hoarseness ,so not a fan of this. ) I did resort to 2 T picklejuice with a swig of water chaser. lol. Don't know if it does anything, but figured I'd give it a go. 


At any rate, taking time to hold myself accountable so I don't see saw on and off. It feels good to take charge of things and watch things go the right direction. Currently losing a pound a day.  Would prefer it all overnight, but not realistic. I'll take what I can get. I am taking in the big picture. Feeling good is just as important when the scale pauses or plummettes.

I just had some watermelon for lunch...that is it...breakfast was a jimmy dean sandwich with egg white turkey sausage and cheese on an English muffin.......dinner is smoking in the smoker as I type...ribs....they will be smothered in BBQ sauce in two more hours from now....they have been cooking almost 3hrs already....just need to go take them out and put them into tin foil pouches with a bit of lemon juice....for those two hours then pull out sauce and serve after another hour of smoking....and a bit of a cool down too....

I started to try and do better a couple of days ago too. I am doing the vinegar water and green tea tablets to try and help boost the fat burning.

I like carrots, and cauliflower best but green beans are good and beets and spinach. For lunch today I had rice with chicken and canned peaches. Filled me up and still not really hungry. I'm trying to stay from starch and a lot of bread.

    My friend invited me out for lunch at this nice, clean sit-in place, where I got to order a salad of my choice with two chicken toppings out of a wall-mounted variety. I don't remember the name of the place. However, it was a nice experience. Thereafter, we headed down to one of my favorite dessert destinations, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in McAllen. It had been a while since we just...

    DS, I just have to say that if I did not love my friends here on DS I would be gone in a heart beat!  I am at my wits end of losing posts!  It seems like the Gateway thing seems to be a you problem.  How can we fix it?  I always make sure that I am online and signed in before I hit send.Welcoming any suggestions other than the ones that I recieved before.
