Good Afternoon Walkers!
Yesterday 2 mile walk am with DH in the neighborhood, yellow zone of pts, stuck to 0 pts non-trigger foods for evening snack and did JGTB. Visited Mom and busy at work getting ready to leave.
But Thursday night I ate trail mix and salted nuts and went above my red zone 😞 But only 8 pts above. Not great but not a disaster. JGTB (Just Go To Bed around 10 pm, not later than 11 pm) saved me from eating more. And Thursday am I did get in a 2 mi walk am and a 1.2 mi walk pm with a friend. We walked along the bluff to the art museum, went through the exhibits, had a drink outside at the cafe.
Early to bed last night and up about 4:30 this am because DH insists on leaving at 6 am for the 570 mile drive to Redding CA, to arrive by 3:30 pm. So far green zone of pts but going out to brew pub for dinner and then hang out in the hotel bar til closer to bedtime. Tomorrow we will head north, do grocery shopping, and get home by afternoon. Planning to enjoy more relaxation for the next month. I still work, but fewer hours, from my home office.
Waving at everyone! Have a great day!
Cait

Good Morning,
Bad weekend for the munchies and felt bad after overeating. Lazy day yesterday, although I did add a 2-mile WATP after supper.
Amy: Enjoy your classes
Cait: Good Job on the miles. Have a safe trip. Your DH would get along well with myself and my DH. We love to start our days early.
Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

I'm baaaack! My sisters and I had a good trip together, but it's always good to get back home. Thankfully, except for one fish-and-chips dinner I did pretty well eating-wise. Sometimes when I travel it seems to be just carbs, carbs, carbs, so I was careful to have fish or salads and avoid the fries. Kelly, GFY getting the new/different job. I feel bad for your co-worker, though. You're right: a direct conversation could go a long way! Cait, good job on the walking and JGTB. Amy, I should get to a meeting and find out about "Simply Filling." Not a ton of walking on our trip, as expected, and I've become too leery of hotel floors to do any stretching , so catching up: 12 miles total walking 310/250 45/50 stretching sessions 3948 stairs

Good Afternoon Walkers! Home again yesterday afternoon, and grateful. So peaceful. We had dinner and sat on the deck afternoon and evening til dark. I ate above my red zone of pts with evening snack, salted nuts and peanut butter pretzels, but I did stop and didn’t follow the impulse to eat more, and I did JGTB. Only exercise was some leg lifts from my phys therapy routine. But unpacking the car and putting away groceries etc took a bit of exertion. If I stay OP today that will be a good sign of not being stuck in the old pattern of post-travel week-long overeating. This am and now, more deck time, and we walked 2.1 miles on the river road. CAROL - sounds like you did well - Glad you had such a nice trip! I know what you mean about hotel carpets. It gives me pause, too. Saturday night I did some of my phys therapy leg exercises on the bed. AMY - I hope the eating plan settles into a healthy livable pattern for you KELLY - so difficult to change those eating habits! Waving at everyone! Have a great day! Cait

Dropped my bike off for its check-up/tune-up and spent 50 minutes in the pool. We don't have AquaFit this week, but three of us showed up and just yakked and worked out. It felt good! I did some stretching and worked in the yard a little, so I'm counting 3 miles for today.
Oh, Cait, we love deck/patio time! We figure it's our duty to check on the fish-LOL!

I saw a video on the computer about his vegan He said what we need is ground flax seed 2 tablespoons. i can put in my oatmeal. 2 points. That gives me 23 points. i decided to be a vegan too that's why I was watching. It is better than eating fish for the right fat. i am eating oatmeal and peaches or mango frozen and heated. 4 cups of fruit and 4 cups of oatmeal Splenda vitamin and flax seed. This does not upset my stomach.

Hi {{Amy}} I eat vegan - “Whole Foods Plant-Based” - and it works well for me. I recommend these websites for info nutritionfacts.org/www.forksoverknives.com/Vegans do need additional iodine, vitamin B-12 and calcium. I get iodine from eating a little seaweed each day. And I take a B-12 and a calcium supplement. Here is the “Daily Dozen” foods recommended for a balanced vegan food plan. www.cityofwaupaca.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dr-Gregers-Daily-Dozen_DrKay.pdfBreakfast: I eat oatmeal with ground flax seeds, dulse (dried seaweed), 5 walnut halves and some other things in it. Also half a banana, and 2/3 cup soy milk with turmeric and a few other spices in it. Lunch: at home I eat homemade soup with vegs whole grain and beans, peas or lentils and eat an apple. Or I make vegs mixed with beans and whole grain and eat an apple. When we’re in SoCal I usually eat half a Trader Joe’s Veggie Wrap with Hummus, 6 unsalted almonds, broccoli dipped lightly in Trader Joe’s Eggplant Hummus, and an apple. Dinner: we have salad with low fat dressing, a mix of whole grain and beans peas or lentils, a steamed green veg, a while wheat pita or tortilla, and a little hummus. Snack: for evening snack I should have 0 pts non-trigger foods. For example, just fruit and 1 tsp unsalted pumpkin seeds or 2 unsalted almonds. Other snacks - if truly hungry I should have 0 pts non-trigger foods - such as 1/4 - 1/3 Wasa whole grain cracker, 2 jumbo green olives, 2 unsalted almonds, a piece of fruit, 2 tbsps beans Most days it comes to 20-25 smart pts Best wishes Cait

Good Morning!!
Uneventful day yesterday. I added 4 miles of exercise. Eating was in check. So hard to believe we are in the last month of the challenge.
Amy: I love oatmeal. Flaxseed is good for you.
Carol: Welcome back. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
Cait: Glad you arrived home safely. Hope you keep the eating under control this week. I get so mad at myself when I eat poorly as I obviously do not need it as I do well all work week. I also feel poorly when I eat it.
Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

I can't eat the oatmeal Back to fat free cottage cheese on healthy life whole wheat whole ground bread. Easier to prepare. Will hopefully get the flax seed for omega 3. 2 tablespoons is 2 points. 70 calories. I will get 25 points a day on free style I hope Bob shops with me today. I am bringing a toaster to the hotel during the state Democratic convention. I like the cottage cheese on toast. 1440 calories. 64dollars a week for groceries except do not buy flax seed every week.
