My biggest dilemma is that I have to take medicine in the morning. I don't want to eat until around 11 am because I like to have a late night snack of 100 calorie pack of cocoa dusted almonds. I've been putting off taking my medicine but the one I can't put off is an anti biotic.

I guess I can share this ,lol. I have to take an antibiotic before have sex or I will get a UTI.I have to take it with food.

I guess half of a Greek Yogurt would be 50 calories. I need to look up string cheese and baby bell light.

How about you? Is the 5:2 plan working with your life? I also don't like working out with my trainer on an empty stomach.

Will this not work if you have 11 hours in between instead of 12? There must be some reason you have to have 12 hours off.

Well I gotta 'fess! I've had a shocking weekend' date=' that has followed a shitty week. Lots of stress eating and crap food at that today! I really have tested my lil sleeve today, and this isn't my 'normal' behaviour. Not good! I don't tend to look for food anymore. I really do need to have a lil word with myself! Need to fast tomo and get back to the gym, cos I just feel lethargic and 'fat'! And I don't like this feeling...[/quote'] I think we all get that way some days. I had to "fess" last wknd and this one isn't quite done yet! Lol.

Hang on there daisy, I know it hurts now, but if you knew he wasn't the right one, it's for the best... When you heal from it which you will.

You can truly be open and available to accept the right person for you into your life.

Oh and coops I feel you.. I had a gluttonous weekend at the wedding it's funny how I can sit at a meal with people now and not even worry about looking odd about not eating as much. My consumption is definitely that of a normal person now. No "problems" even ate cupcakes..

Daisy, breakups are the hardest, but its even harder to stay with the wrong one. You did what you needed to. I just want to eat around relationship confront too. It will get better.

I gave myself permission to eat a couple of hundred calories extra today, I have not done it ...yet, but it made me feel better just having permission to do it if I wanted to. Head trips!

I think that is awesome that your mindset has evolved to that place. You have your LIFESTYLE in hand and are working it.

 

That's the way it's supposed to be. We are the NEW NORMAL!

 

 

 

Yeah, I'll get used to the idea that I am going to be alone again. It's just going to take me a little while. I did message a couple of guys on Plenty of Fish. I remember before while I was dating when I met Allen, it was actually kind of fun. I like to dress up and fuss now. It's just hard in the beginning when they want to go out to dinner.

OD, switch to OKCupid, PoF has a lesser quality of men, in my experience.

A fast day today, again with the greens, the vitamins, the tea, blechhh. The weather is turning now, I'm able to enjoy hot tea and wearing a pashmina in the mornings and I can actually sleep under my blanket all night now.

OD, sorry about the breakup. I think you are a very strong lady and I think you probably know best what is right for you and what isn't working, and if this wasn't working then I'm glad you decided to move on. Hugs to you!

Okay was there something in the water here this weekend cuz MY weekend ALSO involved cupcakes. Pffft. On sat. we had a softball team party for the girls team and someone brought seriously the MOST delicious cupcakes. The woman who brought them works for a restaurant and they not only looked good they were so good!

So that was Sat. and then I thought I would FAST on Sun. but yeah notsomuch. Sigh. Anyway, back on the fasting wagon today! I see my surgeon on Wed. for my 3 year visit!

This is totally random but when I get back to the States I look forward to recreating Eggface's beautiful little high protein low carb treats and iced protein coffee, I'm going to take them to Starbucks and make everyone curious and want them

I've made the little quiches but not the treats. Must look them up. Which ones have you created before?

I like eggface's site and used to cook stuff from there... but my overall interest in food is much declined so I tend to avoid "foodies"

I love the protein cocoa that someone - was it laura ven?? recommended. I make protein coffees using syntrax nectar but if there is a recipe i should try -point me to it. I just dont like browsing food porn..haha....

LV...It's a strange feeling when you realize you can eat with those around you and it doesn't feel weird anymore. You are normal! It's a new normal for you. You can't compare yourself to everyone else. Enjoy the fact that you can go out and have a meal, even eat a whole cupcake and you don't have to feel guilty about it. That's what normal people do!! Now, the problem comes in if we go back to our old habits and start doing this all the time. Learning to be able to enjoy these things without the guilt or worry is probably where we are all striving to be. We can get there...one day at a time.

OD...sending you another hug your way. Hang in there. Are you going to make it to the gym today? It'll help you feel better, and who knows, you might even meet a hot guy at the gym!

Brown...how are you doing today? Just checking in on you!

I had a good weekend. Eating was good, I was happy about that because that was my goal for the weekend. My cold is just about gone and I am feeling normal again. My appetite was low this weekend. I also had some cake but it was cheesecake. We had a birthday party last night and celebrated 3 birthdays in the family from the last few months, mine included. My mom made my favorite cheesecake. It was so good, I had a few bites and enjoyed every bite! I have another piece in the fridge to eat this week sometime, we'll see, the kids may get to it first.

Fast day for me today. It's funny how extra delicious my protein drink tastes on fast days.

Have a great Monday Ladies!

Jane, I make a protein coffee drink everyday just because I love it. I use Click mocha decaf protein powder.

1/4 C. skim milk

Water

Ice cubes

2 Tbs. ground flax seed

2 big handfuls spinach

2 scoops Click

Then I flavor it with sugar free syrup. Currently my favorite is a little Torani sf pumpkin pie syrup and a little sf brown sugar cinnamon syrup mixed together. SO good!

Blend together

I don't normally do sugar free stuff but I do love my sf syrups!
