soup was good
no issues

todays beans

hopefully tomorrow shop for some cottage cheese
 
I often mash my beans, just with a fork, for ease of eating. Added spices, condiments, and/or a bit of vinegar optional.
 
todays plan--
meat crockpot cooked on low
from frozen
for 22 hours
in spice mixes(meatloaf and beef stew mixes)
hoping its soft enuf
will see later
 
the number 1 thing wrong with the scale
is that im maintaining on way less calories
than most have been recommended to eat
so this means id gain if i tried to eat
that much?

i guess thats a lesson in
eat what your body says
not what anyone else says
 
the meat was ok
i wont need any salt for a week now

today not sure yet
too queasy right now
to decide
always queasy in the am
for many years

Probably. I think the fact that you haven't been able to move much for the past couple of years could mean you have less muscle mass and less NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) than those recommendations are based on. It sucks and it's rare but some people really do burn fewer calories than we'd expect.

Glad the meat worked for you. The high sodium would probably push your scale weight up because of water retention but that should go down again with a couple of days of drinking enough water.
 
yesterdays food-
family made foods
eeeks
too much
but its so good

cans are easier to track for my loose calorie counting
i dont want to get too obsessed with the calorie counting
but there are like at least 6 things in family meals to figure
out

today hoping to have a can of beans
and maybe a can of beefaroni
they were on sale
 
i really need to keep this weight off this time
i never have kept any off i lost
but i need to
i want to fit thru the door this summer
thru the space left on the balcony door
if the ac is put in
last summer i couldnt get thru the space left
to sit out
we are hoping we wont need it this year
then i can go out like normal
i have a few months
the fans not even on yet
once the fans on and too hot
then we do the ac if we can afford it
so hopefully
 
it was horrifying to discover that
plain simple canned vegetables
or so i thought
have SUGAR added
i know salt was added but sugar
i was so mad
i thought i could finally have some food
with no added sugar
since fresh veggies are too dear
so ive been avoiding them
but
then when i consider how much sugars added
to canned beans
well i may as well eat the canned veggies
so now what to add them too
as they are awful on their own
i guess maybe vege soups
as they hardly have any in them
what a disappointment
 
I'm afraid sugar gets added to an insane amount of packaged foods. If it's only a little bit it's not so bad but sometimes it's ludicrous. That's when you know they're using low-quality produce and adding stuff to make up for it.
 
1 and a half cup canned peas and carrots
stirred in crockpotted ground beef
cooked with a chili spice mix pk
 
it went ok the meat chili i made
might make it again

yesterday--
carrot soup family made
choc. pudding family made

i have a feeling the scale may be unkind to me
this weekend
ive went over my weight tolerable can a day amount
twice this week
with family made meals

not sure whats today

if i knew how to make the amounts of whatever food
i eat to be the amount of a can
i could eat anything in that amount
and maintain still
maybe measure out a can?
