Yup, that would be me right about now ;) DH has lost almost 40lbs since his ER visit. I have lost *maybe* 5 :( He is super strict about what he eats whereas I am not. He eats oatmeal for brkfst with berries and I believe out of all the healthy stuff we bought, he sweetens with cinnamon. Lunch is turkey w leafy greens, tomatoes on a Sahara wheat wrap, no cheese or condiments. He takes celery with some yogurt dill dip and I think a side salad with lots of veggies on it, vinaigrette dressing and pistachios. Dinner is whatever but he always eats a salad with it and finishes whatever veggie we have. Snack would be yogurt, or a bag of nuts/trail mix like stuff. Frozen yogurt sometimes or the new Halo ice creams. Puts it in a ramekin.

I still eat my frozen stuffed hashbrowns for brkfst a couple times a week. I do not like the oatmeal. Sometimes cereal or piece of brkfst casserole. Lately lunch has not been healthy at all, Iced Cappuchino in my car. (Work stress makes me want to leave on lunch and vape in my car the whole time) Dinner does include salads and/or veggies. But if we do tators, I make white for kiddo and I, sweet for DH. I make air popped popcorn but I add the butter flavored seasoning to it, sometime salt. The ice cream on occasion and right now my downfall is jolly ranchers. Eat too many of those and you might as well had a whopper jr from BK. When this bag is gone, no more. I also need to stop getting the frozen coffee, that has A LOT of calories in it. Such a waste. The good news is, I haven't gained any :thumbs:
Your choices seem more *empty* carb heavy. You know this already, but...yeah, he's eating healthier.
Loads of calories in the sweetened coffees too.
It's a mindset. Once you get off the unhealthier foods and can get it out of your system, much of it will sound gross...that's what I found, maybe you have too...even as you're eating it.
Lots even just tasted totally fake compared to the healthier stuff, but there's a tipping point, where you get too much processed, then it seems to taste better. It's weird, and definitely a battle, I know first hand. :(
I truly felt soooo much better when I was eating healthy, and am taking steps to revisit that!
I love oatmeal for breakfast, but the way I load mine up it takes a lot longer than a bowl of cereal.
I try to do oatmeal on the weekends some.

That's awesome!! I would love to be that close to live music on occasion.

ETA I hadn't refreshed the page yet, so I was able to see it. ;)
:thumbs:
It's a little twangy country tonight, a lot of old songs, but it's all mellow, and the band is good.
DH said he saw a couple nursing home vans, and looked like they brought several residents, so that's AWESOME.
I know how much those who are still able love to get to come to things like this!

Sweet dreams lurkers :wub:
Sweet dreams Sara. :wub:
I'll say goodnight too.
Sweet dreams all. :wub:

Good morning OBG, Dale, Fran, Joey, Kad and lurkers. :wub:

Hope you all have a great day :)

Lori, How cool is that, that they brought the residents to enjoy the music. Oh, I bet their faces were priceless. :) I definitely go through different stretches of food choices. Right now I'm clearly making bad choices. ;) I need a kick in the rump.
