I feel like this year my life has a theme..."working through challenges". It seems like that is what I have done for most of the year....gone from one challenge to the next on a personal level. From allergies, the BFC, quitting smoking, and dealing with going a little crazy from the meds....oh and lets not forget being sick for the past 3 weeks. I am also going back to work watching my hubbys Grams again because he got a good job with health ins and all that. I am excited about the benefits....not so much about going back to work. It didnt turn out so well last time because my allergies really bother me at my inlaws house. Plus, I dont really have time to keep my own house running smoothly so this is going to be a challenge of keeping things balanced. I wouldnt be as worried about it but I think that my meds are off and I need to have the doc figure out a better plan for helping my body adjust. Unfortunately, I have to wait until the insurance kicks in because the doc I need to see is really expensive. I am sure things will work themselvess out but I am stressing a little bit over this upcoming challenge.
On the BFC front, I have gone back to psyllium husks for my fiber goto because try as I might, I just cannot keep the chia seeds down. It is disappointing because it is such an easy and yummy way to get in the daily fiber. Oh well, at least I found the psyllium husks at half the price I was paying so I bought a couple of containers. I also have found that eating protein with breakfast is a must for me....otherwise I get really hungry between meals.....so I will have either a breakfast burrito with the smart and delicious tortillas or a couple of sausage links or patty with my Uncle Sams cereal. If I do that then I am good to go for quite awhile. I need to focus on getting more veggies in...there is a tricky balance between enough fiber and enough veggies without going over on carbs....and not getting bored with the food you eat! I think it will be an ongoing challenge but well worth it because I am staying thin through it all.
I still can't post pictures from my xoom...all I can do is change my profile pic so one of these days I really need to jump on hubbys computer and put some more current photos up as well as some before and afters....
Hope you all have a great BFC day!
That's part of the reason I've been enjoying the Fast Track so much - with all my carbs from veggies, nuts, and seeds, my carb intake is fairly low and my fiber intake is pretty great. I am not missing bread any one bit.
ReplyDeleteI always say that breakfast is the most important meal. If you eat good in the morning, it keeps you fuller longer.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything works out with the doctor.
Have a great day :-)
I find if I eat protein for breakfast I stay full longer too. I have tried eating just oatmeal and I feel hungry sooner. I hope all works out for you and life become a little less stressful.
