On the Menu
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Last night I made a pretty yummy dinner and very quick too. Heated up Johnsonville Turkey and Cheddar Brats and made quick baked beans.
I must say that turkey meat is really good and much healthier for you. The only turkey I do not like is ground turkey. Not the same for me and it tastes "strong" for some reason. Almost gamey.
Turkey ham, bacon, keilbasa is my fav. Now these brats can be added! Super yummy. I served them with a small amount of horseradish sauce. WOW!
Weight is holding @ 324 but hubs and I realized that our scale is not made to go over 300 so this is why I can fluctuate so badly. It is not giving me an accurate reading.
So far so good. I am walking each day and taking vitamins. Wish me luck!

Water How I Need Thee
Monday, April 11, 2011
Not enough water yesterday. I woke swollen this morning. Darn edema! Fingers look like little sausages. But it is okay. I am going to drink water soon. Now the most disturbing thing is how I gained 15lbs overnight! Sorry ladies and gents, seems my scale is not reliable. I know I have lost though-clothes fit better. Time for a new scale! I am going to spring for a heavy duty one.
I did have two chocolate chip cookies yesterday about mid day. But it should not have caused me to gain that much. :D
Like I said, I am a sugar addict.
I did make a yummy fruit salad for dessert last night:
Sugar Free Ambrosia
1 can pineapple chunks in juice-not heavy syrup
1 can mandarin orages (lite)
1 can whole cherries in water
1 3oz box sf cheesecake jello pudding
3/4 c shredded coconut
1 c plain yogurt
Prepare jello per instructions on box. Add yogurt and mix together. Add remaining ingredients and stir until fruit is completely coated. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

So far So Good
Sunday, April 10, 2011
I have officially lost 25 lbs since March 15th. Not too bad for a gal that is not trying just too hard. :) I have cut back on the sugar, not cut it completely though. I have also cut down on the caffeine.
Most importantly, I have started to move! Not homes mind you, but physically moving around as often as I can. I walked for 1 mile yesterday and half of a mile this morning. My goal is to do at least 1/2 mile daily.
I do feel better. I have more energy and I seem to be sleeping better. Most importantly, I am no longer achy. My muscles like me a bit more now. Muscles, like many organs and tissues in your body, love aerobic activity.
I am also drinking more water. This is helping with the edema.
My daily regimin of herbs and suppliments consist of the following:
1. A woman's multi-vitamin and herbal complex
2. PDA from Nature's Sunshie for enzyme and digestion
3. Master Glandular Formual from Nature's Sunshine for metabolic functions-we must support the hypothalamus!
On the menu for today:
Curry Tuna Salad with Greens
1 Large Package of Tuna in water
1/4 c Light Mayo
4-6 T of pickle juice (I use pickles made with Splenda)
2 celery stalks chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t garlic powder
1 t curry powder (I use yellow)
salt and pepper to taste
2 hard boiled eggs chopped
Mix all ingredients together and let sit for at least 2 hours in fridge. Serve over lettuce greens. Whole wheat crackers are great with this! Not to mention a cool glass of lemon iced tea.

Great Food Tracker Site
Friday, April 8, 2011
There are a ton of food or calorie tracker websites out there but my personal choice is www.fitday.com
This site is free to sign up and it will also keep track of calories burned through daily activities and exercise.
You can set weight loss goals and even post daily notes in your journal.
It is so not easy to lose weight. Especially for those of us with a hormonal or thyroid imbalance. BUT it is doable and you can overcome this.
I will post more about my metabolic regimen in future blogs. It is working!!!
Blessed Be...
