Agreed! Baking sourdough every Saturday morning is awesome, but definitely contributing to my weight gain.

Hi Linda!

I'm currently doing NoS in a limted eating window....after reading much of the Circadian Code, I think a 10 hour window mainly during the day works well for me. I am in a norma weight range but would love to be a little lower on the scale, and this seems to combine the best of both. I did ...

I love my Instant Pot for rice...in fact Ii bought the 3 quart not long ago after owning the 6 quart for a couple of years just so I could do rice as a side dish.

I put one cup of rice and 1 1/2 cups water in, maybe a dash of olive oil. 3 minutes on manual, than let it sit for ten minutes (or more ...

I just gave $90 to transport a mom dog and her puppy from a shelter. :roll: Completely not in my budget, no idea where that impulse came from (thank you Facebook).

How awesome! I often donate to rescues.My beautiful younger BC is a rescue, formally heartworm positive boy who ...

Ha, I’m in the Philly end of PA so we are having similar snow/sleet events. Just want to stay in by the fire and read!

Staff Assistant III

Still hanging in there with green weekdays. The light breakfast just doesn't work for me so I'm just trying to keep a 14/10 schedule. No alcohol on green days and very little on S days.

I ordered a stand up desk for my office that should be here today. I hate it when Fitbit tells me I haven't moved ...

jenji wrote: Tue Feb 26, 2019 5:42 pm I had middle of the night hot flashes for a while, but they subsided on their own. Other than that, menopause has been not bad. But I am also realizing that I just don't need as much food as I used to.

Yes, this bums me out. I used to have an amazing metabolism and I miss it!

Staff Assistant III

I have really never considered HRT, but I guess it's because menopause was effortless for me. I stopped at 51, had one light one about 9 months later, then no more (I am 58). No hot flashes, maybe some minor night sweats, but not on the scale I have heard about. So I sympathize with those who truly ...

Staff Assistant III

I agree and don’t think CICO ( calories in/ calories out) is straightforward . If it was true, no one would have a weight problem, but we are not simple machines.

Read some of Dr. Jason Fung’s books on this to learn more. “The Obesity Code” is very informative. In my own experiments with ...

Staff Assistant III

I’m all about weekend bread making lately. My sourdough starter is maybe 6 weeks old. It’s tough not to eat it when you know how good it is!

Staff Assistant III

I don’t do any drinks between meals except water, seltzer water and hot tea. I got away from any sugar ( real or fake) in coffee or tea years ago. It’s much easier to drink a huge amount of sugar than it is to eat it.

I know it’s “allowed”. But as was stated above, what’s allowed is not always what ...

Hey auto!

My BCs would run too, so would I! Glad you are ok.

My DH does the silent thing on this kind of thing too. I actually don't have any male friendships at this point (side effect of the 96% female workplace).
But when I did have male coworkers, he tended to not engage if I told a funny ...

Staff Assistant III

I'd say it is a real weight gain because:
- i have whole weeks when my weight is exactly the same every day, to the tenth of a pound. I lose and gain very slowly, I have never had big fluid type fluctuations.
- i am going on weekly averages, not just one day to another
- my pants are tight! and i ...

hey Octavia! Thanks for stopping in. the ashwagandha seems to be working really well. I also got a weighted blanket about the same time so maybe its the combination but I sleep rerally well lately.

Interesting, I will check out that podcast.

Staff Assistant III

Is that the Six Miles to Supper Kayla? I used to belong...why is she shutting down?

I used to be very active in the Delay Dont Deny groups but have to admit that the new year's crop of newbies drove me away.

I still read the advanced group and really admire Gin's management style.

Staff Assistant III

I agree with Margot....I went back to school at 49 after years in retail management. I just couldn’t face another holiday season of stress , long hours and the ongoing drama of managing minimum wage employees.

So at 58 I now have 8 years in my best job ever! I work as an executive assistant in a ...

Staff Assistant III

Margot, I think it is just pulling the blender up slowly. I’ve actually never had a fail with it.i use my own chicken eggs but I’m sure you can get really good eggs too.

Is French mayo as disgusting as British salad cream? DH grew up with that and is scared off mayo for life because he thinks it’s ...

Staff Assistant III

Thanks auto! It's a nice side effect of not having any kids at home anymore!

I think those potatoes are actually a northeast thing, maybe even a Philly thing. I grew up in Atlanta and never saw them before I moved here. They are PERVASIVE around St Patricks Day, but I find anything besides dark ...

Staff Assistant III

It's an S day!

For today, I plan on having my regular breakfast (oatmeal with walnuts, a dash of maple syrup and raspberries) and lunch (a delicious thai chicken recipe we had for dinner) and then dinner out with DH at a nice old school American restaurant (think surf anf turf, etc). Probably will ...

The ashwaghanda seems to be doing the trick as far as helping me sleep. I got capsules from amazon and Im only taking one at night, not the three suggested.

Green weekdays still...I feel like i have nothing to report really. My weight is going down very slowly, about .2 per week, which is fine as I ...

Yum , I love the EBTB seasoning on buttered toast. it's also excellent on hard boiled eggs!

I've never had chai at SB. Their coffee is too strong for me, so I skip it. Hope it was good

I get the same message

Staff Assistant III

I do take magnesium, and it seems to help most of the time. It also helped with the constipation i was getting while IF.

Margot thanks...I will have to try the ashwangandha. I order anything on Amazon that I possibly can, so I can probably have it by Friday :D

DAY 7

I am cooling off on the SLD. Not sure why, this morning it feels less appealing. Like, it's kind of silly to have to gulp down all these oils in order to trick the body to do something it doesn't wanna do. The moment I begin to think that my body is stupid and I need to con it ...

Staff Assistant III

the problem with only weighing weekly is that you can easily catch your high weight for the week on one day.

I like daily weighing with a weekly average. My Fitbit app actually does it for me.

Staff Assistant III

Whoa I haven’t updated in a week!

All is going well. Green N days and yellow S days. I think my sugar dragon is backing off some. I baked some Revel Bars on Saturday and ate a couple each day but no other s stuff. Two tiny glasses of Prosecco Saturday afternoon resulted in a 3 am Sunday wake up ...

Hey there!

I LOVE salt and we keep the flaked stuff in a cool glass jar by the stove. I donâ€™t eat processed foods either and cook almost all of our food from scratch but I also donâ€™t drink so much water.

If it were me I would back off the water. I have two kidney stones that an unsuccessful ...

Welcome! Iâ€™m in week 3.

We actually find the Dâ€™artagnan lamb sausage at Giant. I do love Costcoâ€™s boneless leg of lamb from New Zealand. We marinate and grill those when itâ€™s warm enough to grill.

Staff Assistant III

So yesterday was interesting. A few crazies on the train, as usual. I ate one of the shortbread bars I made last week for breakfast . For whatever reason I am starting to not love coffee as much the last few days have to force myself to finish a second cup so maybe Iâ€™ll drop down to one this week ...

Staff Assistant III

Lol I will be mainly inside (Vogue Knittjng Show, a giant yarn fest) but will get some Arctic style walking in from the train.
I do envy your climate. Iâ€™m from the South originally and even after 25 years here I am not happy about winter, ever.

Staff Assistant III

I love Costco. Buying food is the only kind of shopping I enjoy. I try and order everything else from Amazon.

Have a great weekend!

Yeah,lol,it would be easier to be single as far as my perfect meal schedule!

I enjoyed the hell out of my S days. I had Prosecco on Friday and Saturday and many many millionaires shortbread bars Sat and Sun. I grazed a lot yesterday too.

I did 23 minutes on the treadmill at lunchtime ...

Staff Assistant III

A great first week. Iâ€™m curious. Were you hungry when you woke up early?

Enjoy your baking!

I wasnâ€™t hungry at first but by 5:30 am yes. I ate some toast and a clementine and then picked up some rare London broil when I was at Wegmans .i think lack of sleep was stressful but I did t eat more ...

Staff Assistant III

Hello!

I really like the basic Fitbit flex. Itâ€™s waterproof so I never have to worry about runining it in the shower or the kitchen sink. Right now Iâ€™m using it on my ankle but Iâ€™ve used it on my wrist as a silent alarm, which my light sleeping husband loves.

Your journal is very interesting ...

Staff Assistant III

First week done!

Overall I am pretty happy. Yesterday started off rough since I woke up at 2:30 and couldnâ€™t get back to sleep. So my breakfast was spread over about 3 hours although it wasnâ€™t more than a plateful. The rest of the day went fine and I was ðŸ’¤ by about 8:30.

I am a daily ...

Good day so far...I didnâ€™t eat enough breakfast but am going out to lunch around noon so Iâ€™ll be okay. Dinner already planned. I started using the Dinnerly meal kits and I have to say they are pretty good.

I plan on baking some delicious cookie bars on Saturday morning so I ...

Staff Assistant III

Sorry double post

Staff Assistant III

are you eating a substantial lunch? And at what time? I do better if I can delay my lunch til after 1....I donâ€™t get home until 6.

Also make sure you are getting some healthy fat in your lunch. I find that keeps me full longer.

Good luck !

Staff Assistant III

Thanks guys!

Today went well! GREEN

B scrambled eggs and toast, coffee

L spicy meatballs and rice, two clementines

D rigatoni , toast

I waited til about 1:30 to eat lunch and it wasnâ€™t difficult as I was really busy.

Staff Assistant III

Yes manfa I will try that too.I have a box of green tea bags at work. I posted in my check in that my office has too much free food lying around and I have roamed the halls like a shark. No more!

Pretty good, actually! Limiting snacks between lunch and dinner is my biggest challenge. I am journaling here to keep myself honest.

I think you are right! I packed what we had left from Sunday lunch but would have liked a few more. I know better than to try and make this a diet so I guess I need to make sure I have a full plate at lunch. At dinner I am really not all that hungry but like to eat with my husband.

Staff Assistant III

I hope you have a great S Day! And tomorrow, great success at not roving the halls looking for snacks (I think we all know that very easy tendency). Eventually you just don't even consider food as an option if it's not mealtime. That's such a freeing feeling.

Thanks! I may even pack my breakfast ...

Staff Assistant III

Thanks!

For now, I just want to establish three normal sized meals with no snacking. I did find that on my first day I caught myself a few times waiting to eat some nuts or something small between lunch and dinner. I often wander through the halls at my office to see if there is anything tasty ...
