But I'm not giving up and neither should you. We're getting healthier...even if it doesn't look like it.

I was going to suggest something like the previous commenter. A diet which many of my friends have used with great success, involves eating a fair bit of protein every two hours during the day. I think it was 250g of lean meat and salad at 11am and 1pm as well as proteinpowder and nuts at 3 pm, then protein and salad at 6pm....they also recommend using weights at the gym. For my money, aquarobics is as good as weights! I did a class on Tues and could barely MOVE afterwards!!!!!! And I do my zumba class and treadmilling with sweat but not too much pain nowadays. >:-( Apparently the frequent, protein meals kick start your metabolism. I tried it and it did work but I couldn't keep it up because I am too disorganised! Hope you see some results soon. (Oh and I also loved the birdhouse!!)Arizaphalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402602175460446158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885193099862463655.post-84558562950854278332013-02-12T17:21:03.319-09:002013-02-12T17:21:03.319-09:00Gayle, I asked my son about your diet and he sugge...Gayle, I asked my son about your diet and he suggested upping your calorie intake each day by adding a 4 oz. piece of chicken breast . He said if you really dropped your daily caloric rate down low, your body thinks its starving itself and is fighting you. <br /><br />Add about 100 calories more per day than what you're currently eating by adding that chicken or some fruit or veggies. <br /><br />He also suggested switching to weights at the gym for a week or 2. Just a suggestion. He lost 85 pounds and said he knows exactly what you're going thru. You don't have to post this comment on your blog if you don't want to.

I've never seen anything like it. You and Homer did a great job.<br /><br />Dieting ~ can be very stressful that's for sure. You get so much exercise in all that you do I don't see why you need the gym. Our society is too fixated on being thing if you ask me. Just my two cents worth.<br /><br />The dinner for your family looks delicious.<br /><br />Your snowy weather looks awfully cold to me. Today it is very warm. It's 2:10 p.m. est. and 80. Sun going in and out between clouds. We're supposed to get rain Thursday and if we do, that will be oh so nice.<br /><br />Take each day as it comes Gayle, count your many blessings.<br /><br />Have a nice Valentine's day ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885193099862463655.post-20384002518704584962013-02-12T10:02:45.340-09:002013-02-12T10:02:45.340-09:00That bird house/utensil holder is adorable.
Gayle...That bird house/utensil holder is adorable.<br /><br />Gayle, Try using this super tracker for your food. It's a bit time consuming for the first 2 days until you get used to it, but do it for a week - it shows you the nutritional value of everything you eat so you can see where you're getting too much fat, sodium, empty calories. <br /><br />https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/foodtracker.aspxKim@Snug Harborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066749954523201722noreply@blogger.com
