WELL THIS IS TIME TELLING......

 Last year I started a Dirty Keto Plan. It has been and up and down weight issue with me. It did get down to 158 earlier this year. However I am now back up to 164.  At a stand still now. Found out that eating out was not a good thing for me. They like to put sugar in everything you order. Even if I think it is a good  choice I can taste the sweetness. One thing I learn in doing the Keto is that Cheese and Gluten are my nemesis. Too much of the cheese is not good. The gluten just makes me feel bloated, plus I look it. When I stay on the Gluten free and eat less Cheese items the pounds fall off.

Therefore, now I am going to work out more and be really mindful of my food  choices. Cooking at home more and when on Vacation watching what I order. Plus taking more Carb Blockers when eating out on Vacation.  Also making sure I can exercise more on vacations. I found that helps a lot on the weight control. Especially when you need to eat out.

I am going on vacation for 3 weeks in the next few months. So, I will have to bring snacks I know I can have. Think I will make some to take with me. Look for the recipes on my Kitchen site. Plus  follow the vacation time on my Travel blogs. Links are on the side bar.

The New weight program is here.

I think I will send it back. After getting it and reading though it, I found nothing worth spending $$ for. Hubby does not seems to be gun-hoe for it. I also noticed that they are using the Adkins type plan. This uses Sugar substitutes and low carbs.
Now one problem with that plan, for me , is GAS and a Bloating feeling. Then after you get down to your desired weight, Gaining it back is too great a problem. It didn't seem to change ones eating habits. Not like the Sensa has. I know this because I have done the Adkins plan and lost 40 pound just to gain it back with a year. I was away hungry and really missed my craving/comfort food.

I will stay on the Sensa plan, because it is working for me. Slow by steady. That's the way is should be. This way I am slowly changing the way I eat and most of all the Cravings are under control. I am also learning how to cook the comfort foods healthier. I post most of them on my Kitchen site.

For a while I cut down the meats and found that I was more hungrier. So I added them back. I just reduce the amount. It will probably take me awhile to find out that balance.
The family wants the meat also. I try to mix it up. Using chicken, turkey, pork, beef, bison , lamb and fish. Made a great Pistachio Crusted Salmon. I will post the recipe on the kitchen site later. Today will be a chicken mushroom stew.

I think starting a weekly menu will be a great thing to do. Will need to work on that. Maybe if I laid out the menu the family will be more informed. Also eating a little earlier would be great.

Meal time is hard due to everyone's work schedule. Daughter is working and has lesson that end at 6:30 on some days and 8pm on others. Hubby gets home from work between 6 and 7 . That makes family mealtime a little more difficult, or should I say challenging.

Oh well, I will still be sprinkling my food with Sensa and enjoying the new me, slowly transforming.

Fitness Update- A Family View piont.

At a stand still right now. I do so hate this point of the weight lost journey. Feel like it take a while to get over the hump. Do feel my cloths getting looser and know the fat is dissolving. So trying not to let myself get discouraged is very important.

Been staying around 168. Do go up and down some but maintaining in most the 168. Would like to lose 10 more pounds before June. Find that setting small goals are better for me.

Still on the Sensa Plan and getting ready to add another plan to it. We received a new weight program recently. Have not started it yet. The family, mostly hubby, does not want to do Sensa. He just doesn't seem to remember to sprinkle. Too much work he thinks. So I will join him in the new program. Let you know when we start it. Right now He has to get the clearance from the doctors. Has some Kidney and Clotting problems. However He needs to loose weight!

My daughter is Obese in her weight. We have been trying to get her to loose. However, it is harder for teens. She loves to blame me for the weight. I told her that I am eatting the food I am making and losing weight. She just refuses to eat the food. Therefore she eats far in between and consume too many sweet and carbs. I refuse to buy her the carbs and will only do sweets a little. she will soon be 18 the will have to work on her own health. The Nutritionist told me to stay out of it! That is so hard when I see the health issues it is causing. She is 5'2 and 175. I hope posting this will make her realize she needs to work on it. I will admit that she was working out, but she didn't feel it was helping her weight. Once she gets to 18, I can give her the sensa plan and just maybe it will help her control her cravings for Carbs.
