Going Down
First I want to mention a breakfast idea I came up with a while back that I consider to be pretty healthy. I wish I had a picture but I don't so instead you get a picture of my girl Aurora licking her lips.
A really easy, quick and healthy breakfast I like to have sometimes is what I will call the Waffle and Raspberries Sandwich. I know, it sounds strange but it's really simple. I toast up 2 nutri-grain blueberry waffles, heat up some frozen raspberries and make a sandwich out of it.
No sugar added. You can eat it with one hand and it's filling if you use waffles with a lot of fiber. I'm still on the hunt to find the perfect waffles, I like what Trader Joe's has but they aren't convenient for me to go to.
I also want to mention, although I'm hesitant because I'm afraid this is a fluke, but I've lost a few pounds. I don't know exactly how many because the last time I was weighed was at the doctors and my scale is always different than theirs. I seem to have lost what I think is between 3-5 lbs.
I haven't really changed anything, not that much, I think I've just been focusing on food less and life more. That always seems to work for me, the more I worry about food the more I seem to lose control. I'm also right now back on medication I had stopped taking months ago, more on that another time.
But yay, it feels good to feel a little more control of my own world. Losing control of your world is excrutiating, no matter what it is. We can't make everything exactly the way we want it to be but we like to have a little bit of a say from time to time.
Thanks everyone for your support!!!
YAY on the few pounds gone. Focusing on life is so wise. Sometimes when people hit a plateau they ask me what to do. I tell them just what you have found. “Focus on something other than weight loss.”
Great job Robin – and love the kitty picture. We have a plain old gray tabby. He’s great but not super cute!

@Diane Fit to the Finish, I think my biggest problem is I don’t know how to just relax and just focus on life itself.

Aww, that kitty is just ADORABLE!!!
Congratulations on the loss. I’m going to have to remember the “focus on life more and food less” strategy because I can definitely see how dangerous it is to focus too much on our intake. It’s like letting food control us again, just in a different manner.
You’re doing awesome, Robin.

@josie, it really can work, depends on the person. i always do better when i just keep busy and stop obsessing. Obsessing never works for me.

That sounds so YUMMY. How about Fat and Protein in that combo? I might try it with Pnut butter…..I have done exactly that with blueberries, but I bet raspberries would be better.

@Jennifer Lynn, Yeah that’s the only problem with it, I suppose you could have a hard boiled egg with it. I’m telling you, raspberries are a wonderful treat and lots of fiber.

Grats on the loss Robin! That is pretty awesome! And the waffle sandwich – that sounds like something I would eat.
