Good Morning Jerzeygirl,
Your diet seems to be on point. Way to go.
B: 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon
L: 1/2 chicken breast, boiled rapini
D: Roast beef, asperagus,
Have yourselves Ana amazing and productive day.
Angelheart, my maiden name was rapini (broccoli rabe)...funny right
Thanks about the food compliment, but it's not always on point. This week I'm buckling down and mostly do that on weekdays, it's the dreaded weekends that do me in sometimes, especially in the winter
You look like your doing great also!!
Hello Again Jerzeygirl.
So with a family name like rapini, are you Italian?????
As far as dealing with the cold dreaded winter weather, I can honestly relate to you. We are neighbors. You are in Jersey and I in Montreal, Quebec, so we share almost the same cold, long winters. I, also have the problem of sticking strictly to my food plan. It is not easy. But we have each other.....LOL. We can help each other through it. We can certainly hope that spring is around the corner.
Hope you have yourself a great evening.

I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm trying to get on track with slowly increasing my calories since I'm practically at goal weight and I'm exercising more (even doing my first 3k fun run in a couple of months. I know it's less than 2 miles, but still...running! Me!)

Good Morning Jerzeygirl,
Wow, I love your last name. Broccoli Rabe. It is the first time I have ever heard of that family name. Very original.
As far as my progress goes, I find that it is really slow. Sometimes my weight loss stalls weeks on end. I have a friend who had the surgery at the same time as I did, and she is doing amazing. And she professes to cheating every weekend. So I just don't understand. I guess each body and each person is completely different. I am being patient. I struggle with the cold weather too. I am counting the days till spring. I hope that this weekend goes by smoothly for you. Hope to chat again soon. Take care. o
