Smollettri's Journal, 06 July 2013

Did badly today. Cannot even record food as I had way too much and do not remember all I ate. will be careful rest of week. Going to Weight Loss Doctor on the 18th, do not want to keep doing this. No more junk in house. Lots of good food. Will make menu for tomorrow. Have a few high salt items in house but will bring the salt content down by mixing them with lower salt products. For instance, have a few Knorr Rice Sides that I bought, will add extra rice and extra veggies to stretch the meal into more than the portions allotted on the package so that I may some some for a couple days. Doing this lowers the original salt content and makes for a very good meal. Will also measure out some meat and add that to a single portion. The portion of the Rice Side salt content will also be less due to the extra veggies I will mix in. This works, believe me. It is a quick meal, with a lot of flavor, and is not unhealthy. Will help keep me balanced. Was told to add meat or poultry after measuring protein out. Liked this idea. Trying to eat healthier while keeping taste. Without taste, I overeat. Also must eat more fresh veggies. Have fruit too. Some fruit cups, but also fresh fruit. Anyone know how to tell an Avocado is ripe? Need to know. Going to make fajitas tomorrow with avocado instead of sour cream. Sounds good. Will try to stay under my own guidelines for the next few days. Will be going to Orthopedic Doctor towards end of month to ask for PT. Hopefully will be able to move again soon. Too much pain right now. Thanks for listening.

Hey Melanie, Happy Belated Birthday. Let's make this your year. Squeeze the avocado and if it yields to light to moderate pressure, it's ripe. I've also ready that you can flick the small brown stem off the top of the avocado. If it comes off easily and you can see green underneath it, the avocado is ripe. I measure everything. It's nuts. I just keep a small scale nearby and just measure so I can record it. I would limit the rice though. Have a great day and a great dinner.

I have had days like that too - just start over fresh today. And let me pass on a tip: Always let the first bite of every meal be protein. The protein will help tell your body you are full and lessen the cravings for sugar.

Good idea, Buffy! I will definitely remember that. Also, I am trying to drink a glass a water before every meal, to see how that helps. Thanks again!

Buffy's so smart. Great tip, Buffy dear. And Melanie, drink as much water as you can. 64 oz minimum. With this heat, it shouldn't be too hard I think.
