I'm glad to hear Dallas is doing well. Congratulations on maintaining over
a hectic time for you. Beverly "susanjoneslewis" wrote in message m... Despite the wedding cake, bbq, beer, wine, breakfasts in hotels, lots of snacking I did over my wedding "holiday"(about a full week) I managed to maintain 189. I am really surprised too because I ate alot of things that were off my plan and never measured/weighed anything. I am sore today however from my exercise routine that I re-started yesterday. I can feel it in the back of my legs/behind mostly. My water intake is something I am most concerned about right now. It glaringly obvious I am not getting enough water since I started watching it closer when the water challenge thread was started. At most in the last week it's only been 1.5-2.0 liters a day. For me that's way below what I was drinking when I was steadily losing(last fall/winter) So, I am having to really push my intake and be very aware of what is going in my mouth. Thing is, I should know this. I can tell by the way I've felt, my skin, chapped lips etc. It really amazes me what we humans will rationalize/justify with some other reason when we get off course. On my list of things to purchase is.. Fish oil supplements - Any suggestions here welcome, thanks Chris for your suggestion in an earlier thread. A pedometer (since I still haven't gotten one) A new set of bras - I could go into a lengthy discussion about this one because I have questions about sports bras vs. underwires etc. Sizes since I've lost weight. But I will save that for another thread maybe. New walking shoes. I've put just about as many miles on my Nikes as I think they will take. Also, a short update on my kiddo and his diabetes. Dallas has been amazingly responsive to the insulin. It's been tough on him food wise but he is being very understanding and cooperative with the food changes/choices he is having to make. The mental/emotional side to this is proving to be easier than I first thought it would be for him. We signed him up and he went to his first support meeting at the clinic our Dr is at with other diabetic children yesterday, so we will see how that pans out for him. Personally I think that the support network he is creating is fantastic. Already he has made friends with other diabetic children from the group. We are still working out the bugs of monitoring/journaling his levels each day throughout the day but his blood sugar is in range most of the time. His only complaints are the skin pricks and he has had a few headaches. What strikes me most about all this is the awareness this is creating for my family as a whole. Now it's not just Dallas and I watching what we eat. It's the whole family, even my extended family when we are all together. Susan 280/189/140 |

Hey
Done pretty well, on semi-vacations currently (I go, come back home for a week, go again...). As far as the weight loss goes, I have been on a little stall for about a month, but I don't worry too much about it. I guess my body needs a little break after losing close to 50lbs without a pause... At least I seem to maintain my weight effortlessly, weight loss has been proven to be waffle resistant Blood results are pretty good too... I'm also taking a semi-vacation from forums, because I often end up spending way too much time there "Chris Braun" wrote in message ...

... My son was so proud of himself the other day for ordering a salad at McDonalds. He got the Fiesta Taco salad. Here's a hint: when you cover a salad with greasy hamburger it's not going to be a good choice. My daughter prefers the "crispy chicken" salads. Another hint: if the meat is deep-fried you've got a problem. Ah, that must be the ones I had been thinking about... Yet, they're still marketed as diet/healthy food, aren't they? Or at least you're lead the believe they are... But I get the grilled chicken salad (which is what I specified above) and it's not like it's a secret choice or something, it's right there on the menu. Well, since I live in a country where plenty of salads are available for lunch in bars, I just prefer to eat a "real" one |

"Dally" wrote in message ... I also leave off most or all of the dressing. A good hint for that is you put a bit of dressing on and then recover it and shake it really hard. The dressing will coat the salad without using very much. I do that with my salads at home too - in tupperware of course. Graham Kerr, the English chef who did the Minimax cookbook (and used to be the Galloping Gourmet) recommends using a salad spinner to apply dressing. Jenn |

Some people also recommend using your hands to mix the salad... I like to put my hands in food (really, I don't use the robot to bake pastry, wasn't satisfying), but it never occured to me to use them to mix my salad with them... I will give it a hand (ha ha) next time I make one... |
