Hi, it's azure op from last post, how has your first day been??
Mine was a difficult tiring one but bH I pulled thru thanks to you guys.
1.all kids were home. 2. Didn't have any healthy food stocked up. So I ended up being irritable, moody and very tired.
Breakfast plate of bran flakes milk
Snack: apple
Dinner: salad with 2 eggs and 2 pack Malta toast
Snack: almonds
Supper: veg soup, tuna salad, Melba toast.
Water: I'm nearly finished 1.5 litres. I'd love to drink 3 but not first day
Not very exciting but was stuck home and couldn't go out to buy stuff.
The trick is to prepare in advance.
Looking forward to hear from u...

How's it going for everyone so far?

I feel like Sundays I spend more time running around shuttling everyone around than I do at home so Sundays are hard food-wise. Breakfast was scrambled eggs with onions, raw cucumbers and tomatoes, and a coffee. Lunch was grilled chicken and broccoli. For the first time in a long time I went walking. Still no water intake, though. Ideas are welcome.

My biggest challenge is yet to come. I tend to go to town with my nosh closet late at night. Maybe I'll spend more time in my room instead of the kitchen.

Any one else want to share what they ate today??? I'm starrrvvving!!! And stressed about something and would usually binge but keeping strong....thanks to u!!!

Sure... breakfast was 2 cups black coffee and two slices high protein bread with coconut oil.
Lunch was a bowl of steamed broccoli drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with pumpkin seeds.
Dinner will be homemade veggie soup and a small garden salad with lemon juice and olive oil.
I don't really snack, but if I need something later I'll have an apple.

Lunch: I had salad and a small piece of salmon.
Supper: will be shabbos leftovers (soup, chicken & potatoes) and salad.
I'm proud of myself that I didn't buy chocolate today.
And I did a 20 minute workout on the elliptical.
I didn't drink enough today, though there's hope of still fixing that.

Amother wine here.

Was a busy crazy day. No time to food shop. Breakfast was oatmeal with raisins, unsalted peanuts, chia seeds, cinnamon, and unsweetened almond milk/coffee. Lunch leftover chicken breast,a little rice, a bell pepper, lettuce. Dinner will be chicken breast with pineapple, peppers, onions,and lettuce. Maybe an apple. Didn't drink enough I'm so thirsty but am too lazy to drink. It's silly I really need to drink.

can I still join?
My goal is to lose about 30 pounds (eventually).
I would like to make my mini goal 10 pounds for now.

I was doing weight watchers with some sukkos before yom tov season came around and I'm having a hard time getting back on..

breakfast today was- 2 peices whole wheat bread with scrambeled eggs, mushrooms & a little cheese

lunch- 80 calorie yogurt, bannana & peach (cut up fruit in yogurt) with about 1 T granola mixed in

dinner - chicken bottom, brown rice & string beans

*I had 100 calorie bag of mini cookies for snack (not the most healthy idea but I was doing errands the whole day & forgot to pack up snacks...)

On the whole I think I am below points for the day bec I didn't end up eating between meals besides that 1 snack..

Thanks. Your menu sounded good too. And great job not eating just because you're stressed. I also tend to eat when stressed or frustrated and it's not easy but you can distract yourself another way. Have an herbal tea or some cucumber infused water if you feel like eating but know you aren't actually hungry.

A good first day ברוך ה׳!
Breakfast: 2(! Oops- should have eaten only one) bowls of Life with milk
Lunch: 2 1/2 c lentil veg soup
PM snacks: 5 c air popped popcorn, and then downhill from there noshing in the car with my kids: 5 snacker crackers, about 120 cal. Bamba, and about 140 cal of chips.
Dinner: 2 1/2 c lentil veg soup
So far 10 c water. Yay!!

Water tip: we buy tons of bottles of Kirkland water at Costco. It makes us more likely to drink water (than tap), and it's not expensive.

This morning, I did what I haven't done in a long time. (I do it when I am trying to lose weight, like the ten pounds that crept up over the summer when I was back to eating without recording, etc.)
EXERCISE- easy, happy exercise! Turned on music really loud and danced (kind of like aerobics) in my living room for about 15 minutes.
I want to try to do that three times a week, 10-20 min each time.
It releases endorphins, making me a happier mommy! (My kids dance and run around with me)

I'm really excited about this thread!

Ok, I will bite the bullet. I just read the keto thread and it was the most depressing thread/diet I ever read. I have gained close to 10 pounds since Pesach for various reasons. I don't even care to be "skinny" I just don't want to be a slave to food and overweight. I am 5'5 and currently at 163pd. I realize I am addicted to food so diets scare me. I am trying to call this new outlook a lifestyle change. My plan is to cut out the pasta (CRAZY ADDICTED), bread, and sweets. I am going to try to focus on whole foods I.e. protein, fruits, veggies. The difference this time is I started doing youtube videos at home just 30 mins at least 3x while my kids are watching their own thing.. this way I have no excuse. I may be fooling myself and I will be way over calorie count etc but I am hopeful. I will keep yall posted.
Today I ate
2 eggs for breakfast and morning star sausauge
snack was handful of cashews...yea, I will admit they were candied but I panicked in hunger.
Dinner was salmon over mashed potatoes
I have late dinner (work nights) of chicken thigh over cauliflowered rice and a side of broccoli slaw.

If you can squeeze past this urge for a day or two, when eating this way, it will lessen. For real.

I don't record my food, but what the hay. I drink coffee with heavy cream until I get hungry around 3pm. Today I ate salmon with tomatoes and cucumbers for lunch and ribsteak, broccoli and roasted veg from a meal I had left over from Thursday night. I eat to satiety. Today, was relatively speaking (for me) a higher carb day, because mostly I am carnivore. I am extremely healthy and have lost 85 pounds in 18 or so months. My Doctors are thrilled and even though I am still a hundred pounds overweight, everywhere I go, I am told I look great. I FEEL great. Better at 50 than I did at 20. Thank god!

What did you find depressing?
I know the meal may have sounded boring for some, but I really enjoy the food I picked.

The plan was a quick easy go to food plan that I don’t need to measure and calculate since I know what the macros are.

Also, I’ve been in ketosis for 2 months already, so I’m not that hungry, since I’m keto adapted.
