I've never eaten kasha, but your broth, onions & mushrooms sure sounds good.
Guess I'll have to look for some. I'm making my version of quick soup for lunch today. Tuna fish, tomatoes, chicken broth, french sliced green beans. Threw in some freeze dried red onions (Light house brand - I love them!), and some Light house brand salad herbs. I love all of the Lighthouse brand freeze dried stuff. Ginger, onions, salad herbs, etc. I keep some on hand all the time for quick seasonings. -- Donna in Idaho!

Well, I did fail to sell Stan, so it is definitely not just a bland
starch. Is LightHouse some special brand? General markets? I've never been into hot tuna unless it was fresh fish. Tuna casseroles, etc - no. Friends use to bring it on camping trips - yech! (G) Tuna out of a can, fine. And this past summer we discovered the new stuff in the foil pouch - except lunch on the trail.

LOL! Evidentally, and I never noticed. This is something I had not even
considered, since the scale hasn't moved more than a few teeny pounds in both directions ... for a long time. But possibly the addition of exercising has made the body change?

I'm sure over time the body adjusts to the weight loss. Sort of a catch-up
routine. I know that when I first joined curves I had already lost 20+ pounds without doing any exercise other than walking and water aerobics for a month. I lost over 7 inches the first month. Since your weight has not changed much over the past few months maybe it's time to check your measurements. I bet you've redistributed the remaining weight. "Joyce" wrote in message ... LOL!

I do have to take some new measurements. Was checking out my old stat sheets
earlier this evening, notice that nothing has been updated since the end of June. I am willing to bet that while my weight has held rather steady (within 5 pounds) the measurements have definitely changed. What I did find interesting though, is the last time I did record measurements - everything had decreased except those calf muscles ... which actually showed an increase. Suppose it could be my measuring, but I am willing to bet it's due more to the increased walking and building of leg muscles. Now to get some weights and work on the upper arms.

I don't ever remember needing a size small! Joyce On Mon, 19 Jan 2004 00:05:50 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: yeah, I am sure you are right. Not a problem though, I bet I am back to 158 or worse in the morning.... "Joyce" wrote in message .. . Ok. that makes sense and I do understand. I'm warning ya though, once you see it you aren't going to be happy unless you can stick around there. I think that's my current problem. I hadn't been unhappy in the 130-133 zone ... but after seeing that 129 or below a few times, it is distressing to move back to the 130-133's.

And I could!! if I would quit with the choice of eating a couple of chocolates every day. Or ice cream (despite being low fat ice cream) Every night. Whine. I am not replacing the chocolates when they are gone, that difference alone will take those last 2.5 off me ... "Joyce" wrote in message .. . Now how can you possibly feel like you are struggling when that weight keeps dipping? G But yes, it is hard to move away from those holiday treats and get back into the habit of journaling. I know I do better when I journal, almost too good (have noticed I tend to not eat enough when I journal) - but I also know I can survive if I don't ... kind of double edged sword. I do think the exercise (or lack thereof) is what has me a bit off track lately - just plain ol' laziness on my part. But I am working back into it strongly, and happily - and am finding it really does help with the self-imposed mind games.

I want to get to 155, it is definately possible and achievable for me. I make a decision to journal, then I don't do it. Dang. I am even a member of a journaling group, and Still. "Joyce" wrote in message .. . I also was much better last season, but have wondered if it was due more to the fact that I was still on my way to goal. This year goal had been reached, incentive to maintain is so much different than incentive to continue in the losing mode. I also wonder if my body then was still used to the losing game - as far as probably requiring more calories than it currently does? Like you though, I'm still under goal - just need to get back to practicing those better habits and self control.
