Have to brag on myself. Went to the HonFest in Baltimore yesterday to see my grandson play on stage with his band. He is on the Baltimore School of Rock's Show Team - guitar, keyboards, vocals. And he was great! Afterwards, went to lunch with my daughter and omg the menu was so tempting. But I found a dish that was within my sodium/carb limits and gave me great idea for future meals. Called Veggie Stack it was two mounds (I only ate one and saved the second) of fresh tomatoes alternating with 3 1/4 inch slabs of fresh mozzarella, topped with a poached egg, and lightly covered with hollandise sauce. Garnish was four slices of avocado. Delish!

Heading more towards Atkins way of eating again. 1400 cal a day counting didn't provoke weight loss, plus I began sugar craving/sugar blues again. Fatigue and all that goes with eating more than 30 carbs a day for my system.Now trying to balance low sodium/low carb eating plan. Many Atkins foods are kind of high sodium too, ie, never knew chicken had so much sodium. Also can't use deli meats, hot dogs, that sort of thing so will take some study to figure it all out. My old Atkins mainstays like cheddar cheese are very high in sodium. Luckily I love baby swiss and that's low sodium. Have to stay at 1500-2000 max sodium mg daily. I'm a science project. lol
But two days on the Atkins and my mood has lifted already. Just can't tolerate carbs, even healthy ones like brown rice. So we'll just keep trying till we find the right mix. At least I'm in the 160's and not the 180's like I was in December. Have to keep positive.

I would seem to be stuck around 167 despite staying under RDI most days. There's no getting around it: need more exercise.
Good news though on my recovery progress: kidney function is now normal, still have slightly high BP midday but not high enough to need meds, and have started back to work full time. A lot of progress in two months so I won't grumble about the weight. Gratitude!

Still not losing weight but don't want to reduce calories further until I talk with my doc. Maybe just need to exercise a bit more. Not discouraged as I need to let my body and especially the heart heal fully. So will just keep on concentrating on health and sodium levels for now. Yoga workout was much easier today - one movement I had had trouble keeping up with (on all fours, stretching leg up and back then bringing knee to chin while keeping the breath coordinated x 30 each leg) I was able to do so there's strength building happening! Used to have to alternate legs after 10 or 12. Gettin' stronger.
Have a great day!

Well, sticking to my sodium level max daily and even though eating at or below my RDI weight not yet coming off. I'll be patient. Reading a great book to achieve more mindfulness and also get me inspired to paint again - The Zen of Creativity by John Daido Loori. I am finding it applies to all areas of my life, especially eating mindfully and being aware of what thoughts are in my mind around food - and feelings around not-food. There was this quote which is both profound about life and funny about food:
"Renunciation is not giving up the things of this world, but accepting that they go away" - Shunryu Suzuki
I laughed out loud. After my near death experience in March it rings deeply true for me; but regarding food it's a very visible process to watch....that irresistible chocolate cake quickly goes away down the toilet! Why do I make a god out of it?
Have a great day. Look at the yummy temptations and just say, "Oh, in 24 hours you'd just be sh&%$#t anyway and you won't have contributed to my health on the way out. So who needs you?" LOL
