Hey Jeep :wave:

So yeah, I was bad too, weight shot up to 236, then I fasted an entire day. Nothing but black coffee and water, now back on track with OMAD. Weight about the same 231.

I'm heading up to the cottage this weekend, taking some flowers with me that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Dipladenia (which has a cone type flower, bright red, continuous blooms throughout the summer) and Columbine (has a purple/blue flower also cone type, which grow well in wooded areas). We shall see if they do well up there.

Celebrated with my DS for his birthday yesterday. Made his favorite meal, lasagna, garlic bread, and choc cake with ice cream. So that was my RM and for tonite also RM was leftover lasagna and garlic bread, but I sent the cake home with him, but I had ice-cream.

Glad you're doing well. Take care :rheart:

Hi mojo :wave:

Glad your back on track, fasting for a whole day is hard I don’t think I could do it. Homemade lasagna yum! That was sweet of you to make it for him your a good mom :heart:

Those flowers sound perfect for the cottage, I love ones that bloom all summer. I was thinking some phlox would be nice also, they bloom in summer and smell really good. Glad your going up to the cottage but be careful Hubby just might put you to work :D

DH is working on the screen room at the camp, water is getting in on one side when it rains so he’s putting up plexiglass 1/2 way up the sides. We have a freezer and other items we don’t want to get wet. We had a hard time finding a nice chest freezer because they have been sold out.

RM today is left over roast with potato salad or macaroni salad and some strawberries w/ whipped cream.

Talk soon friend :rheart:

Morning :wave:

I have kept the 2 pound loss but have not lost any more. I’m going to try and keep carbs lower this week and see if that helps me. I’m just not losing on CAD I don’t think it’s the plan I think I’m just eating to much or to many carbs. If I lose more pounds this week lowering carbs then that is what I will stick to. If I don’t then I’ll stay with CAD and lower my calories which I don’t want to do :o

Later :rheart:

Hey Jeep :wave:

Back from the cottage! Weight has gone up again. Definitely hard to stay on track. DD brings a lot of snacks and I can't seem to resist. I was in the water all weekend, which was nice, because it was in the 90's. Came home yesterday and I have been so itchy! I think I must have gotten a burn because the allergy meds don't touch it.

I'm glad your keeping the loss, but I know how frustrating it can be. That sounds like a good plan, to see which way works for you. I'm not very successful either, but I know its me not the plan also. I can't be on this plan and have snacks in the house. Just doesn't work!

Talk soon my friend :rheart:

Hiya Jeep :wave:

I'm doing pretty good. Weight is steady, I'd like to see more of a drop soon though. I'll be gone to the cottage til next week Tues or Weds.

Trying to keep away from the snacks at night. I ate my OMAD early today, salad and cheesy bread. Nothing else to eat for the rest of the day/night.

Talk more when I get back from cottage my friend.
:rheart:

Hey everybody!
I am working on CAD again for the umpteenth time. I know the books were written a long time ago and there have been lots of new discoveries in the time since. What are your thoughts on the following foods?

nuts
avocado
coconut flour

I just wonder if these things could be used with the CM, now that we know so much more about fiber and blood sugar.

Today was a normal Saturday. We didn't have much going on. I grilled enough food for four meals this week!
CM: 2 eggs with cheese and bacon, coffee
CM: pork chop, cabbage
S: (I was struggling) 1 egg with cheddar cheese
RM: grilled burger w/ cheese
fries
salad (romaine, onions, tomatoes, bleu cheese)
vanilla yogurt w/ chopped mixed nuts and chocolate chips

I found the Facbeook group for CAD. I think I am going to hop over there for more interaction.

Morning :wave:

Hi Carlie....welcome, your meals sound perfect. Are you doing the CAD or CALP? I’m doing CAD it’s the first one to come out. I eat a cheeseburger with fries also it’s one of my favorites. I sometimes put the burger between lettuce leaves if I have them with red onion & tomato. I like to be able to pick it up. I love the checkers fries :yum:

Weight is staying the same so I’m going to attempt to count calories.
I’ve never been good at it and usually give up because I find it difficult to get accurate numbers. I have the Chronometer app I will see how it goes especially weighing the meat on my scale. I think I will weigh it after I cook it.

Mojo hope your having fun at the cottage, I’ve been at the camp for a while but I’m home now. I bet the water is warm with all the nice temperatures we’ve had.

RM today will be a cheeseburger and Italian sausage with checkers fries and a salad. I need to start having my veggie soup again I have veggies to use up and the weather this week will be cooler.

Later :rheart:

Morning :rose:

Well the calorie counting didn’t last, I actually forgot to measure my salad dressing when I put it on the salad :o I’m not used to doing it, I guess you have to get used to it.

I’m having a ribeye steak for lunch w/ broccoli soup and RM will be bacon and eggs with Ezekiel bread toasted, one of my favorite meals. I do have one Italian sausage left from last night’s meal I might have also if I’m super hungry. Hubby offered me some cookies while watching tv but I turned them down, I had brushed my teeth and really don’t eat after dinner. I was feeling hungry but held off.

Weight is up today not sure why so I’m hoping it goes right back down. I actually felt thinner so I hopped on the scale....mistake....I will weigh on Friday’s like I was doing.

Talk soon :rheart:

Hi all :rose:

I’m doing good so far today I changed my TRE to 1-6 instead of 2-6
I’ve been getting hungry early and it works better for my 2nd meal. I’m trying not to snack just having 2 meals when I’m really hungry.

RM today is a large bowl of chili w/ sour cream red onion and shredded sharp cheese :yum:

Hope everyone is doing good, miss you Mojo!! Hope your enjoying the cottage with hubby :cool:

Later :rheart:

Afternoon people :wave:

I woke up hungry this morning but held out till 1pm
RM was veggie soup and chicken tenders w/ blue cheese dressing.

I just got done mowing the lawn, really nice weather in the low 70s
I love those temps.

Later :rheart:

Hello :wave:

I’m back at it today, I was off plan yesterday due to Father’s Day and family. My weight has stayed the same on Friday when I weighed in.

RM today will be Buffalo chicken wings w/ blue cheese I’m keeping it lower carb today due to the amount of carbs I had yesterday.

Hot here, went swimming in the pool yesterday and will today if the rain stops. Not much else planned for today. I got major cramps in my legs last night after eating a large bowl of ice cream. I’m not sure why that happens when I eat a lot of sugar but it’s not fun.

Later :rheart:

Hey Jeep :)

Nice to see you're going strong! I'm back from the cottage for a few days, but will be gone again for a few weeks. Looks like we had a new visitor. Welcome Carlie W!

Sorry I've been MIA, DD has been needing more support lately. She quit her job for the summer, but hopefully will be back to work in the fall when Grandson goes back to school. Please let it be back to in-person learning! So grandma gets a break....:lol:

Anywho, I'm back up to 236. More than when I started, my willpower to stop eating at night is gone. I can't go on like this. The OMAD has gone by the wayside. When I eat past a certain time of day, I don't stop. Not sure why it feels like I can't put food in fast enough. Then I feel terrible, bloated and yucky. I know its bad and not worth it. Maybe I need to put a muzzle over my mouth....:roll:

Glad to see you here my friends! :rheart:

Good Morning! :wave:

Still steady at 236. Still having a second RM at night. UGH!!
Last night, couldn't sleep and had roasted chicken, macaroni salad, and blueberries.

Todays RM will be Red Lobster, shrimp scampi, coconut shrimp, broccoli, salad, and cheddar bay biscuits. My nephew is treating us to dinner out. I never turn down Red Lobster....yum :yum:

Hey Jeep, I need to buckle down at the cottage. DD is bringing alot of bad foods, but its my fault for eating it. Hubby is working hard on the deck, so he needs help. We're heading out tomorrow and won't be in town for 2 weeks. I'll miss you my friend, but I'll be back! Have fun at your cabin. :)

My nephews wedding is in July, looks like I'll probably be the same weight. I was so sure I could drop some major weight this year. Ho-hum, whoa is me, EEEEyorrre.

TTYL :rheart:

Hey mojo :wave:

I probably just missed you leaving for the cottage....maybe you and DD can come up with a day or two that she can bring the goodies up and you both can indulge in them. Let her know you appreciate the treats but not all the time, you can enjoy them with your RM. I too had a full day of goodies on Father’s Day, son had to work so I made food for hubby in the morning and then when son got there we ate again with dessert😃. Red lobster yum can’t pass that up! Please don’t be to down on yourself, we all slip up....that’s life girl :heart:

RM today will be 2 tuna and egg sandwiches with a salad. I’m staying in my 1-6 window and boy am I hungry!

Talk soon :rheart:

Hey Jeep :wave:

Just saw this! Yes, heading out today. Thank you for being so supportive! I will be working hard, so hopefully that will keep me away from the junk foods. When I'm busy, I tend to forget about food.

Yep, I need to have a heart-to-heart with DD about goodies. Bring me some sweet potatoes instead of candy.... :lol:

We have kayaks now! Maybe she will do some exercise with me, or maybe hubby if he gets his deck project done.

I wanna hear all about everything, when I get back.
Wishing you success and joy, my friend!

TTYL :rheart:

Morning CAD people :wave:

Weight is staying the same this week, I would like to lose at least 1 pound a week but that’s not happening. I will continue with my RM.....I just can’t seem to get motivated to exercise even though I think I need to if I want to lose.

RM yesterday was a very large bowl of chili with red onions and shredded cheese, sour cream. I’m not sure what I’m having today.

Mojo, kayaks sound fun I’ve never been in one but see so many people in them. Enjoy your holiday with your family.

Later :rheart:

Morning :rose:

I ate a little earlier yesterday around noon, 2 Italian sausages grilled I had lettuce for salad but it didn’t sound good. I think I had a little heat stroke because I was nauseous. I had been working outside and it was warm.

RM today will be cheeseburger w/ checkers fries one of my favorites. I eat a lot of the same things and keep it simple not a fan of cooking. Maybe that salad I didn’t have yesterday also. I don’t like wasting the lettuce and it doesn’t last long this time of year.

Talk soon :rheart:

Morning :rose:

I’m feeling really positive today, raining out so that makes me happy because I have many plants and flowers and I like not having to water each one during a dry spell.

RM today will be a small salad and chicken tenders w/ blue cheese dressing. I’m looking for a good blue cheese dressing made with sour cream. I’m trying to get away from the soybean oil.

Later :rheart:

Morning :wave:

I’m down a pound this week so I’m happy about that. I’ve been eating around noon with hubby home from work. I’ll get back to 1 next week.

RM will be a cheeseburger w/ avocado and red onion, I’m out of my favorite fries so if I’m still hungry I’ll have a hotdog also.

Later :rheart:

Hey Jeep :wave:

Back from vacation! Not sure what the damage is yet. Didn't keep to the OMAD, in fact, I just didn't think about diet at all.

Glad you're down another pound :cheer:

Yes, the kayaks are fun! My sister came over for the day and we went kayaking and laid out on floats and soaked up the sun.....super relaxing. Floating on the lake is my happy place! :lol:

I'm gonna be super focused this week, because I've got my nephews wedding coming up and I need to fit into my LBD! (lil black dress) I've got the tan taken care of, but now comes the hard part, losing the weight.

Wish me luck! hahaha

TTYL :rheart:

Hi all :wave:

I haven’t posted in a while because my back went out and it was really bad, spasms and had to sit in a lif chair yuck!!

I’m not doing CAD anymore I’m trying to get inflammation down in my body so I’m attempting very low carb and hoping that will help my back out and to lose more weight because I think that caused the problem also.

Mojo.....hope your vacation and summer are great and you are swimming a lot! We have had so much rain here I just hope my basement doesn’t flood. Enjoy life my friend

Later :rheart:

Hey Jeep :)

Maybe you can still stop by and say hi on our thread even though you're not sticking with CAD. I'm leaning towards lower carb as well. My weight is higher than ever. 239 today.

Hubby is at the cottage this week, getting the flooring installed by a professional. So I won't be going up until the flooring is in.

The wedding was beautiful! Had a wonderful time. Something is making me itchy. Not sure what yet. Just taking my antihistamines, but I would like to figure out what is causing it.

Talk later :rheart:

Hiya Jeep :wave:

Thanks for being there. I'm getting upset with myself lately. Don't wanna do anything or go anywhere. I can't fit into my clothing, just wearing my house dresses. I know its a sign of depression. UGH!

Daughter keeps asking me to do things, but I don't want to. She brings fast food home for me, and I eat way more than I should. I'm so weak! Giving in to the bad foods!

Sorry to be a bummer! I don't even want to listen to myself. :rolleyes:

Talk soon

Hey girl :wave:

Listen mojo…… you will just have to start on a new plan! You are a great lady and your just in a slump right now, if you can come up with a plan to just get you started then you can tweak it later. You will immediately be happier and start doing more because you have something your working toward. Ok?

I’ve been off the rails myself lately so I’m trying a plan call Carb Nite, I was eating ZC till my carb Nite but I’m finding it to restrictive so I’m going with the original plan of 30 carbs a day then on the weekend taking one day and eating whatever I want :yum:

I was thinking of starting a new thread to see if anyone wanted to try it out with me but I wanted to get some time on it first to see if it is going to work.

I want you to get out of the house dress and put on your tight clothes so you will be motivated to get started. If you want to join me that would be great! Or maybe you can get back to your fasting OMAD you were losing so well with that!

Care about you girl :heart:, please think about what I’m saying to you, you got this :thup:

Talk soon :rheart:

Thanks Jeep :wave:

How are you doing? Is the back better? Sticking with this OMAD, but I'm getting better about eating healthier. No more chips, dips, candy, cake, cookies, etc. Having a cut-off every day, where I won't eat anything past that time has helped.

What is this Carb Nite? Have you already started it? Zero or even 30 carbs a day is very restrictive, but if it works, its worth it. Let me know how it goes, and I may join you. :)

Thanks for listening and being there girl! I care about you too!
Talk soon :rheart:

:wave:

I’m back to CAD, it’s been a while since I posted I hope everyone is doing good!

I’m having my RM for dinner during the week and mostly for lunch on the weekends. I find that easiest to plan for meals with family but I will do dinner on occasion.

I didn’t eat the greatest last night it is so hot here, I had a rib eye steak, a salad w/egg, cheese, red onion and celery and blue cheese dressing and cheddar potato chips. I was going to have my favorite checkers fries but it was to hot in the house to cook them. We have central air but I had it off because I was swimming in the pool all day. When I started to cook the electric went out and it was 83 in the kitchen…..not even a fan. Luckily it came on about half way thru my meal.

I haven’t weighed myself in a while I don’t know what to expect maybe tomorrow if I can remember before I get dressed. I always weigh in my pj’s

Later :rheart:

Hey Jeep :wave:

So glad to see you posting! I'm not able to contact you because you don't have a journal. You're welcome to visit mine tho anytime.

I didn't realize you had a pool! How fun! It has been extremely hot here too and I've been avoiding mowing the lawn. We have been spending almost every weekend at the cottage and there is no air conditioning there. So we jump in the lake when its hot.

My regular home has central air though. I don't know how we ever did without it back in the day. I'm making a meatloaf for lunch/dinner with swiss cheese that needs to get ate. I froze like 2 lbs of it and expires soon. Got any good recipes that use alot of swiss cheese?

Anywho, my diet has definitely been on hold, but I need to get back to it. Haven't eaten anything today so far, but had water and zero sugar lemonade.

Miss talking to you girl! Welcome back!
:rheart:

Hi Mojo :wave:

I weighed in this morning :o my weigh is the same as it’s been, but I’m happy because I thought it was going to be supper high! I’ve been eating off plan for a while and that’s definitely not good. I need some rules I tell ya!!

Glad your taking advantage of the weather and going to the cottage because fall is on the way. Hubby stopped into Home Depot yesterday and said they had snow blowers all put together out front of the store. Wow to soon for that…. Did hubby get your porch all done?
We haven’t been at the camp to darn hot 🥵 we stay there more in the spring and fall.

Yes we love the pool but don’t have a heater for it so really can only use it a few months a year. I’ve been pushing for a hot tub so we can use it all year :cool:

Had a very large pork burrito for yesterday RM w/avocado sour cream lettuce salsa was delicious got so full. Swiss cheese is not something I eat but it’s hubby’s favorite cheese. I don’t know what to do with it but I hope you found a way to eat it up, I hate to waste also. Wow you made a meatloaf! I guess we both cook once in a while lol :clap:

Talk soon girl :rheart:

Hiya Jeep :wave:

I'm starting to weigh every day again too! I'm at 237 today. Not too bad. Your right, I should pick a plan and stick to it. I'm using cronometer again and choosing the keto plan with CAD. My reward will not be sugary anymore, it will be potato, rice, fries, and bread.

I loved using the pool when we were in Tahiti. It was in-ground and had a heater. Called it a plunge pool, but of course, someone else had to maintain it. We went with a cottage on a lake instead of a plunge pool. :lol:

I'm glad you didn't gain and just maintained. The struggle is real.
I do cook - I just don't like it! :lol:

Talk soon girl :rheart:
