| Hmmm, how was the stovetop w/ no butter? Did you substitute anything else? I haven't had it in forever but would add it back if there is a lo-cal way to prepare it!

MJ: No substitutes. You have to add more water, and it's hard to get it right and get it mixed up well. If you add too much water, it's kinda mushy. Too little, and the bread has some hard chunks. If I can get it right, I think it's good.

Dropped a pound unexpectedly!! Today I had a frozen low cal meal and added 2/3c of mixed vegetables, because there was so much gravy. Why do they load those dinners with so much gravy? Anyway the amount of stuff on the plate was gigantic compared to what I've been eating. Supposedly only 320 calories, but I'm skeptical. Hope that pound is still gone tomorrow morning after that. Two months ago I could have eaten twice that without blinking an eye, and it would have been spaghetti with meatballs, probably.

-coffee creamer: 40

-grilled chicken salad: 300
Dinner:
-frozen dinner w 2/3c mixed vegs: 320

-lots of black coffee and sf lemonade

| Nancy, I have had the same thoughts about the quantities I can eat once I start payin attention to calories. There was a time that I could easily eat 3-4 slices of pizza. Now, I can be satisfied with one slice with toppings and perhaps a large salad. I think the key is to find those low cal alternatives that fill you up, like your diet meal with extra veggies. Even when I am counting calories, I almost feel like veggies and fruit should be"free" because it is so hard to overeat those items! You are doing awesome and will be at your goal sooner than you thought. Pat on back to you!

Oh, that's so not true, Lami, but thanks. I've read the diaries of other folks on here. There are really some inspirations. I haven't even reached my little goal yet.
The thing is I don't have to cook for anyone but myself or buy food for anyone else. That makes it soooo much easier. I can keep all the tempting bad food completely out of the house.

My mother made sauerkraut balls for lunch today. These are sausage and kraut rolled into 1" balls and broiled. These are sooo good, and I brought some home. Big mistake. They nagged at me all evening. I finally just decided to eat them for snacks and get it over with so they won't be there to haunt me tomorrow. Can I claim I was on the Atkins diet today?
Almost made the transition to black coffee at home.

If you rule out bananas, pinto beans, and potatoes. Of course those are, by far, my three most favorite.

| Of course, we always like the exceptions to the rule the most! Glad to hear those kraut balls are gone! Even with eating them up, you still stayed in your calorie limit. Good work! I agree, it would be easier if I only had to feed myself. I would never have ice cream in the house, for one! Or chips. Or cookies. You get the picture~

Holy cow you have lost a lot of weight Nancy! How come the rest of us have such a hard time of it? I think I might need some of those bales of hay to move around. I use to help hubs with stuff like that, then I got a computer and got lazy! You and I are almost the same weight. I think you're going to leave me in the dust here pretty quick though!

Hi Sassykat! I know I'm doing a lot of things wrong, like no breakfast, and calories under the suggested minimum, but I'm just too impatient. If it drags on too long without seeing results I tend to quit. I'll probably end up just a blob of fat with no muscle to lift any hay bales.

Improvised for lunch today. Toasted a leftover heel of bread, melted an oz of sharp cheddar cheese on it, and piled cooked broccoli pieces on top.
Forced myself to sit down at the table and cut this tiny little thing up into pieces with a knife and fork like it was a steak dinner (rather than just shove it in my mouth and go). If my friends had seen me, except maybe some of you guys, they would have thought I was nuts.

How is it wrong if it works for you? What is one person's 'wrong' is another person's 'right'. I'm a rebel myself and I'm constantly questioning what the rest of the sheep are doing.
I think you're doing awesome!

Exercise: I finally came close to you guys on exercise. It was hoof-trimming day! We have the big dairy breed goats, 160-180 lbs each. You drag the goat to the barn, tie it up, pick up each hoof, trim it and plane it flat on the bottom, goat kicks and jerks its leg all the time and pushes against you like a mule. It took me 2 hours to do 6 goats---I'm still not very good at it. Cardio part was running back up to the house for things I forgot, like steel-toed shoes.

| One of the guys I carpool with has started a small farm with sheep, cows, etc. They had goats but they were a terrible hassle and got rid of them. They were always getting into things or getting away. Sounds like you really got a farm workout today. Functional fitness, right?

...or tearing up things!!! I got them 5 years ago, and they do get on my nerves a lot. But I made a commitment, so they have a forever home here, and I will take care of them the best I know how.
They are kinda sweet once in awhile.

An observation about yesterday: The barn for our goats is about 2-300 yards from the house, all uphill one way. Last fall I would huff and puff up that hill. Yesterday I didn't even breathe heavy and I was going fast, too! Haven't been doing cardio exercises either, so it was all due to weight. I can't believe how much difference a little bit of extra weight makes.

| It's always nice to feel the results of the weight loss in how our bodies operate, and the ability to do things with greater ease is definitely a key benefit to weight loss. By spring you will be running faster than those goats haha!

Was supposed to finish trimming hooves today, but my cousin called last night from Ohio and said he's driving down Sunday to visit. So we had to go to the grocery store instead. Not too much exercise today.

I'm going to whisper this because I don't believe it..."Morning weight was 130."...I think it's a fluke, maybe dehydration. If it's still the same Monday, then I'll believe it.
Tomorrow I have lunch with my cousin from Ohio. My mother will probably cook up a huge meal, with homemade bread, probably cake or pie, too, just for the 3 of us. My cousin is way overweight and it has brought on diabetes, high cholesterol, and high BP for him.
This will be an interesting test. I'm NOT going to be fussy about food. I'm going to eat some of everything. But I'm NOT going to bring a bunch of leftovers home with me, either (I hope).

Well I couldn't have been more wrong about today. My cousin arrived at 11:00 am and had stopped an hour before he got to our house and ate lunch, because he said he got too hungry. My mom guessed that was what he'd do, so she only had ham and cheese sandwiches and homemade banana nut bread. He still ate some. He was probably just being polite.
We had a good visit, caught up on all the gossip about the relatives in Ohio, and talked about our ancestry on his side of the family. I learned a lot of things about my dad's family. Then he went on to have dinner and spend the night with friends in Conyers, GA. So everything worked out just fine. Then we ran down to the goat barn and put out hay.
Still ate more than I had to. It will be interesting to see if upping calories a little, and salt, will affect morning weigh in tomorrow. I'm posting this menu early because it helps me stick with it, and I am determined not to have any more snacks the rest of the evening.

| I agree with MJ. You are quite an inspiration Nancy! I don't know that I would have the stamina to trim hooves. That's hard work. And bales of hay are heavy! Every time I wimp out and feel like a pansy pants I'm going to think of you Nancy. I'm going to toughen up and get myself in gear!

Well I made it into the 120's today! I have these old temperamental spring-loaded scales. Usually if you get on them with your left foot first, they weigh one pound less than if you get on them with your right foot first. Go figure. I don't post a weight change here until it passes the "either foot first test." Anyway I'm motivated again. Was dragging a bit yesterday.
After lunch we finished trimming hooves of the remaining 6 goats. And, Sassykat, I didn't have as much strength as usual. Maybe I am losing some muscle.
Sort of started exercising last night. It was pretty pathetic really. Various crunches and side leg lifts until it burned (it only took about 10 each  ), some low impact jumping jacks several times, and walked half a mile (out of necessity, not choice).

| Nancy, I think it is a good idea to your calories a bit if you are trying to tone, otherwise you might be burning off muscle by eating too little and then burning some off! Hope it helps! If not, you can always tweak it again.

Update: Just did 3 directions of lunges, squats, grapevines, 4 directions of leg lifts, fire hydrants---all 12 times on each leg/side. It burned every time---like ta killed me. Then tacked on three different kinds of crunches and some jumping jacks.
Scared my  . One hid under the bed. I've had them indoors since September and they'd never seen me move that way before.

Yesterday I upped calories by 200, ate most of my food after 6pm, felt stuffed at bedtime and weighed 132 (couldn't resist checking). Dreading the morning weigh in, but still at 129! Maybe it was the exercise! Can 3 lbs just evaporate through body heat overnight?
I did the same exercises tonight, will skip tomorrow, substitute some other exercises Sunday, and see what happens.
It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. We have to figure out how to get 3 bales of hay into the goat barn, in the rain, with the goats in there with us, and not get mauled. Must remember to wear my steel-toed shoes. Wish we had one of those big barns where you can store everything and have lots of room.

We might get some snow tonight! Today is clean-up-the-leftovers day, so food plan is set for the day.
This last pound better go soon, because I'm beginning to hate vegetables and salads. They were good at first, when there was nothing else to eat and still keep calories low, but if I end up hating healthy food, the weight will just come back. Maybe substitute fruit? Will go shopping for fruit tomorrow if we are not snowed in.

Edited to add: Food plan wasn't set after all. We WERE snowed in with only 6 inches. The South isn't prepared for snow. Trees and limbs down everywhere. Neighbor's tree fell and knocked the power line from my house at 5pm. All my neighbors had power. Couldn't cook the oatmeal and didn't want to open fridge to let out cold. Substitute 2 pcs of hard candy.

| Nancy, I often weigh about 3 lbs more at night than in the morning. They say weight fluctuates througout the day. I always am my lightest first thing, that's why I weigh then . You're doing a great job! Did you get snow there? We have maybe 3 inches or more here. Just when I thought spring was coming... but at least we aren't getting a foot like some other areas of NY state!

They came out and fixed my power line at 10:30 pm!!. I had given up for the night. Sure do appreciate the guys that work for the power company. Too cold to weigh in today. It was 48 degrees in my kitchen at 9pm. Strange diet today. Still didn't want to open my refrigerator doors trying to save stuff in the freezer. Supposed to get to 20 tonight.
