Good Mornin' peeps!
Not much happening in my neck of the woods, trudging thru another busy week. Woke up yesterday with a migraine so worked from home and all in all had a pretty productive day with a few cat naps in between it all. Looks like things will start to slow down by 4th of July or so, just under a crunch to meet some project deadlines right now.
Gee the sky just opened up and it is pouring out, glad I am not outside in it. And to think I was just going to go out and water my gardens, guess I can be happy with the "poor man's fertilizer" for today!!
Made a Costco run on Monday, always looking for new yummy things there while my DH roams around grazing. I found a few new items that struck my fancy. They had Chobani 6 oz containers on extreme sale, got two boxes of that. Found out Costco is going to be putting out their own brand of Greek Yogurt and stop carrying Fage so they were having a big yogurt blow-out sale. Next item...my mom told me about these salmon burgers she found here. Yup got a bag of those too, only 2 NCarbs and 20g protein apiece. Good deal, can take them from freezer straight to grill/pan or oven. Going to have them for supper tonight with mango salsa (also a Costco find). Mom also brought us lots of veggies from the farmers market on Sunday. Two heads of leaf lettuce, each was so huge that after cleaned and washed each took up a 2 gal zip lock bag. She also brought fresh chard and summer squash. Fresh local strawberries are on sale now here locally, gotta get me some this weekend.
New eating plan is going well, not extremely different, just adjusted the macros a bit.
Have a great day everyone!

Happy Monday!
Down 2 lbs this am!! Now, I have been doing all this planning around how I am going to get the scale on the move again and here I am on day one of the revised plan and I am down 2 lbs....REALLY ???? So, I weighed 5 times to be sure the scale wasn't playing tricks on me and YES, it is accurate for this am! I was really active this weekend, housecleaning, bike riding, general running around, did some gardening so this has gotten me off to a good start.
Decided to call in and take today off from work. My doc appt is at 11 and I am not really in the mood to work today. Going to do a little more gardening, take a nice long bike ride with DH, work on getting our pool in shape-need to go and get a new ladder. Hope I can squeeze all this in.
Have a great day everyone!

losing 7.0 lb a week

Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there today!
Awaiting the arrival of my parental units. Father's day is a little bitter sweet for my dad today but hopefully we will be able to make it as bright as possible for him. God and my brother are shining down on us today!
Thanks to all my buddies for all your support yesterday. We will see how things go the last couple of weeks of the month with the changes I am going to implement tomorrow. I also spent alot of time last night researching the American Heart Association recommended diet and there are two which they highlighted, the TCL Diet to reduce cholesterol and the DASH Diet to reduce blood pressure, they are very similar with both emphasizing complex carbs....Whew, that will be something I have to give more thought to and wrap my head around. I have been so low carb focused since I began this journey almost a year ago and have lost not quite 30 lbs. I had hoped to be further along by now than that. Well, don't want to get ahead of myself so enough on that for now.
Hope you are all having a wonderful day today!

This deserves a 2nd entry for today.......
This weight gain issues this month has me so bugged today I can't stand it. Heck I analyze data for a living...why can't I get this figured out I ask myself. So, I have finished most of my prep for fathers day tomorrow and decided to sit my ass down and figure it out. Thank god for my spreadsheet of data that I keep monthly and have been since I started as this site does not really give me what I need in "reports", I keep it all monthly so I can do quick slice and dice to get after it. So I would not normally change my WOE mid-month, but this gain is getting ridiculous and I can not let this go on for another two weeks.
I think I am at the root of the problem....I went back and looked at my two most successful months, analyzed the calories in, calories burned, macro-nutrients (fat, protein, total carbs) and micro nutrients (sodium, cholesterol, fiber & sugar) and I took the averages of those for those couple of good months. Then I looked at my current month averages for same. EYE-OPENER!!!!! Some of these are significantly out of wack. Although my calories in and out are about the same my cholesterol, fat and sodium are significantly higher now. My protein is also higher and my carbs are lower now. I am going to readjust to the levels of the averaged successful months for the remainder of June and see if I can get this moving again....fingers crossed!!
Oh yes....forgot to mention, although my calories burned are about the same, the "what I am doing" is considerably different. Need to get more of the strength training back in there for sure!
So, my DH got on my butt some last night and told me I was slacking off and not trying hard enough. Boy, that really hurt my feelings and then it really pissed me off. Needless to say, it didn't make for a very happy evening, but it did get me to thinking that he was probably right, hence my need to figure this out today and take action.
My PTP has referred me to a cardiologist this week for ecocardiogram & stress test and full heart risk evaluation. No strenuous activity until I get the all clear, per doctors orders. With my brothers untimely passing in April at age 56 of a massive heart attack, she does not want to take any chances. I have a huge genetic propensity to heart problems. So you see, it is critical I am on top of my sodium, cholesterol, fat intakes so I do need to watch those really closely and make them my priority. I am not going to get all worked up over the protein v carb numbers that drive alot of weight loss plans, mine really has to be about the nutrients that cause heart disease so enough lean protein and complex carbs of veg, fruit, nuts, & whole grains will be where it is at for me and keeping in my macro and micro goals.
The Goals Are:
Calories In: 1600-1700
Calories Out: 2500-2700
Exercise: 30 min/day avg
Protein: 105g
Carbs: 135g
Fat: 60g
Cholesterol: <=300g
Sodium: <=1300g
Sugar: <=25g
Fiber: 30-45g
So tomorrow is a wash and new plan starts Monday. Although tomorrow is full of seafood (plank roasted salmon, oysters, scallops wrapped in proscuitto, stuffed clams) on the grill, quinoa shrimp salad, grilled asparagus, and Evie's recipe for Low Carb Key Lime Pie. Probably impossible to record it all but I will try.
Getting this all down in writing was pretty cathartic and I feel much better now. What a good RE-FOCUS won't do, huh?

What can I say, scale is up again today. Tried to thwart off what I thought was just a blip but appears not. Not too happy about this trend lately. Lot's of stressful stuff going on right now, just trying to keep all the balls in the air.
Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there! Have a great weekend!
