Bagels

This morning got up early and went to my son's house. Last week my grandson was 13 and we had to bring him his b. day gifts. My son went and bought fresh made bagels. I was polite and asked for 1/4 of a bagel and he put Smart Balance on it. Nothing. That is how I felt about eating a former breakfast food. Nothing. I can live without them. I loved that. Some foods I can not go without but bagels are on the good bye list.

On my never live without list is pizza, bread in restaurants, almonds, pasta and Chinese food. I think that is it. If you can't have what you really love and enjoy yourself the Band will not work with you because you will go after all these forbidden foods. Or that is how I see it with me.

Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully no storms where you live.

I completely agree with you. The band is about moderation not deprivation. If you feel deprived you're just setting yourself up for failure. Like you, I love pizza and Chinese food (a lot!) I won't eat them daily or even weekly but when I really want it I simply have a small portion of it, count it in my daily calories, and happily continue on.

I saw the dietitian a week ago and she said to get the Chinese food steamed and then add Hoision sauce which I add anyway. I am going to try it. I get shrimp or chicken with veggies and brown rice and bring home half.

1/2 a mini bagel is my limit but can do without it. Don't miss pasta or rice. Have sushi without it. Piza once in a while as well as cf

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
