 | SEA SALT: when using sea salt, remember it has no iodine in it and that is necessary for our body. |
 | Seaborne….Just as I thought. I just got kicked from the dog house to the lion’s den. I’ll just have to drop the whole thing……has nothing to do with dieting anyway. I made a bad choice evidently….boy, what else is new. |
| | Haha..hava good evening all of you. |
| | Haha…KATIE…yes a “Pommie” is a Brit. In Australia it can be an affectionate term or a derogatory term just like “Yankee? I used them in an affectionate way. Not sure what other term Americans are called. And I wonder what you guys call us Aussies? Must be something…..lol. APENSA…don’t be afraid of the “dog box” mate…isn’t it just a place for contemplation? Lol…. RADDISON…all I can say it is just as well the snow can be cleared away before it melts into a pool of water around that lovely barbie area of yours. It would certainly be a change for us to have to cook in a scene like that…and it would be fun just once as long as we could keep warm enough!!! Thanks for all the info mate. Busy day coming…but I am going back to bed for an hour. Not sleeping too well with that mask on my face at night…but I must be getting a good sleep when I get there. Have a evening everyone…Bev. |
 | Bev…what is a Pommie? I’m assuming a Brit? I’ll have to tell Diane that this is her new identity. I keep telling her that she doesn’t speak correct English, but then she throws it back at me that we (Americans) are the ones who changed the language! lol Raddison…I like all of your suggestions! Thanks for the additional info! I purchased those supplements today that is suppose to help your metabolism. It was advertised through TDC, so I’m taking it at face value. I am one who has a stubborn metabolism and just can’t seem to lose any weight, so I’m hoping this will produce the hormone that will accomplish that! Again, wish me luck! I really want this to work! |
 | “Correction”: If you try the Quinoa pudding recipe, ditch the currents and use dry raisins instead, also don’t be afraid to spike the taste by adding a second serving “of Stevia extract” ( two 1G packets instead of one). I always have half a cup of 1% milk with my Quinoa pudding portion, otherwise its too dry. – See more at: https://www.trimdownclub.com/forums/topic/2013-newbies/#post-9503 |
| | Hi everyone, a few thoughts to help you out: See new photo of my BBQ station. What you see is snow beside the BBQ. This is new snow as I clear this area regularly since the beginning of winter. No matter what, that did not prevent me from cooking hamburgers last night with SWG buns and fresh veggies. While I did not lose any weight in the last 3 weeks I feel energetic, I have been doing interval kettlebell exercises every other day for the last month. I also have more room in my clothing and my waistline is improving. I feel stronger and my muscle mass is improving, that may explain the plateau. Also, I had to change my SWG bread to better quality ingredients. I really enjoy my new menu, but I did make some adjustments as follows: One way to help you stay on your menu is to cook a large batch of mixed beans, Brown rice , Quinoa pudding, your favorite fish, chicken breasts and Turkey Roast on weekends so that you have enough for the whole week. Always have at least four fresh fruits in the house (Orange, Pear, Apples, Bananas) Improve the flavour of bland ingredients like mixed beans and Brown rice by using fat free no salt added beef or chicken broth instead of water. Add a large minced onion, 2 cups of fresh mushrooms and 1 cup of green peppers and cook together. Always season with a pinch of sea salt and fresh black Pepper to taste. If you want to try something different add a touch of Herbes de Provence. If you try the Quinoa pudding recipe, ditch the currents and use dry raisins instead, also don’t be afraid to spike the taste by adding a second serving ( two 1G packets instead of one). I always have half a cup of 1% milk with my Quinoa pudding portion, otherwise its too dry. If you like soups, for variety sake add organic or regular soups to your menus and replace it with fat free no salt added beef or chicken broth. Combine the broth with any free vegetables from the list and add your portions of chicken, turkey or fish. Again season with a dash of sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and Herbes de Provence to your taste (a little goes a long way). I hope you have fun enjoying these suggestions and good health to all of you. |
| | I’ll have to ask her about it. She probably deleted them already. I’ll probably get back into the dog house for giving out her email address. Oh, well…..just one more reason….LOL |
| | Yes, Chia….I made a mistake. Meant for Seaborne. |
| | apensa: I don’t think I wrote the post about the e-mail going into your wife’s trash, but if they did, all you need to do to get them is, open her trash and she can read them. I hope you can find them for her. They are probably very nice 🙂 |
| | Lol…yes she might get a bit annoyed about it, but I am sure that will only be for a moment…she will get over it, and when she talks to her girlfriends about it, she will probably laugh her head off, telling everyone what a lovely husband you are for thinking of her like that!!! Hehe…we’ll see won’t we mate? |
| | I’ll have to tell her to check them out if not deleated. I’m sure i will get the third degree about telling “THE GIRLS” about her birthday. I think maybe the q/2 cup of brakfast cereal is getting to my brean. |
| | APENSA…have you got your computer set to automatically delete your junk mail? If so, shouldn’t you be able to check your deleted mail? I hope it is all there for her. My little joke might not be a joke mate. |
| | Sorry about that. I meant Seaborne. |
| | You are probably right Chia. I didn’t think about that but they probably went into her junk mail and she never even saw them. Bad move on my part…..gee, another one….LOL. |
