Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I have been inspired to put the longer term goals in front of the short term taste. Not always winning, but improving.
I have been eating keto today so tonight a 1/2 tin of canned salmon, a little mayo, Brussels sprouts, some roasted spicy riced cauliflower and a little beef jerky for a snack. Weird, I know. 🙃
Bought a new pair of summer slacks, too big and baggy , need smaller size, but will keep them for around the house. Cousin asked me to join her in the pool today, swam for one hour.

Energy level is amazing, not tired, can fit comfortably in my shorts and tee shirt now. Goal is to lose 30 labs. Last day posting this everyday will be June 21. Thanks all for putting up with all this. Hope it helped someone on this thread. It was good for me to see what I ate for the day and change my behavior of food accordingly . I now know I was an emotional eater. I caught myself a few times, reaching for sweets, when I was stressed. Now with some discipline I can spot it and reach for a piece of sweet fruit such as a juicy peach. My next goal will be to exercise everyday for 1/2 hour in the morning with my Body Gym to the oldies music. Yay!!
