I told my twin that I gained 50 pounds in 3 years.....
It is the fattening beers that I drink.
I gave the rest of the beers to jeff to drink as he likes them as well. So that is not a temptation any more.

I will pick up some rum to mix with the zevia drinks on the weekends.
Think this will work, rum doesn't have any carbs. And the carbonation will slow my drinking down.....I have drinks quickly.
If we go out then I can drink bloody mary's.
They have some carbs but not as much as a beer.
Hamburger for lunch today with chard and mashed parsnips and smothered cabbage. very filling, but I don't have a clue about the carbs in parsnips!

pre dinner snack 6 almonds
dinner: hamburger again and cauliflower with a lot of coarse brown mustard. and 2 pickle spears. and a low carb truffle: 3 carbs for this luscious dessert. no more pop corn to snack on in the evenings.
Will try to not snack in the evening.
my mother stops eating at 2pm then drinks bourbon and water at 7pm, goes to bed at 9pm or sooner. She has lost weight doing it this way. But it is not healthy drinking so much. I know this. I could not stop eating at 2pm because I love to eat too much.

I am going to the gym tonight.

I need to measure my rum this weekend.....had not thought about trivia on friday night.
They only serve wine and beer there.
Wine has fewer carbs then beer. 1 carb an once, I think????
Could drink a whole bottle for fewer carbs then one beer!
Went to the gym tonight and was able to do 6 minutes on the stair master. one minute more. This will take some time increasing my endurance, I only have 4 weeks before our trip. I want to be able to walk up some hills in prague. I walked a total of 4.5 miles in 90 minutes.
Treated myself to the hydro bed for 10 minutes. Really enjoy that. Then came home and used the new microwavable heating neck device. They are moist beads in a neck pillow.
I really like the heat on my lower back, I like it there best.
going to bed soon. I snacked on some almonds, walnuts and a piece of cheese, oh and a fudge pop for 2 carbs.
I will try to be accountable.

I was down to 181.7 this morning so a couple of over eating and drinking for a couple of weekends really put on the pounds, food must have been salty.
So back to my diet and no booze until friday.

I would try cutting out sauces, dressings, etc or have them put on the side. They are unnecessary calories. I know that it stinks to eat food that is rather plain, but it is a good way to shed a couple of pounds

Here's to the start of another week! I would wish you luck, but I think you will do well, so you don't need it

You will do fine, Just keep it up.

I think you can keep it up.

Sandras for lunch:
hamburger with grilled onlions and mushrooms with a small sald on the side and a large side of kale. I ate by myself.

I had chipotle for dinner. Jeff did not want to eat at home.
Had a shredded pork bowl with grilled peppers and few onions with diced tomatoes and some sour cream and white shredded cheese.
I think this was low carb not sure about the 3/4 cup of tomatoes.....
two squares of dark chocolate. yum




I bought to items that came in the mail today.
I don't think either one will work out.
thank goodness they were inexpensive.
one was a strap to shut my mouth to prevent snoring. It straps with velcro on top of my head. I look ridiculous!

The other item is a t shirt with a place in the back to insert a tennis ball. It wakes me up if I roll onto my back. I have that weird thing with my diaphragm if I lay on my back, it wakes me up in pain after a while. So this is to prevent that from happening. I guess the pain from the ball will wake me up instead.
Oh well there goes $20.

Jeff says he doesn't mind wearing ear plugs.
I will try both items tonight.

both snoring devices were a no go. tore chin vice at 2 am and removed tennis ball at 4am...needless to say that I did not sleep well at all.
oh well.
on to my next cup of coffee. Yawn.

I’m sorry that those things you bought didn’t work out. Have you tried the nasal strips? Do they work at all?
Jeff’s a good sport about wearing the ear plugs. He seems like such an easy going guy. I wear ear plugs all the time now.

I was wondering how the home repairs turned out/are going, and if you had done anymore planning for you Prague/Paris trip (and when u are going)?

[bizi]

I tried those nasal stripes and they were awful! very intrusive. I guess anything is going to be awful when you first try it. It hurt pulling my skin taking it off.
Thanks for your suggestion kay.
((((HUGS))))

I will keep my ears open for ideas that seem to work for others
when snoring. I haven't heard of any that just work.

I know that a friend of mine had a retainer thing made that she
really seems to like. And I have to admit we spend a couple
nights a year in a hotel room together. And its nice to not hear
her snoring. So it must work.

But it wouldn't be something I'd like.
