I'm not interested, but here are some reasonable thoughts on the subject.

I'm surprised the video cooked the salmon, even in transition.
Edit: Xylie - you've got grass? I sure didn't see much when we visited Yuma in the Summer. There was some on Spring break.
Now you've got me thinking about a juice fast again - shorter, of course. But I'd need a new juicer. I gave mine away. The blender doesn't do it. You need to break the cell walls to release the nutrients. I was not a fan of cleaning up the pulp, but I'm here so the diet worked. I wonder if the resale stores have a juicer. A new one isn't in the budget.

Xylie,
I am on coumadin. I cannot eat green. can't do the juice thing.
I am going to discuss the protein shakes with doc, but I have chronic kidney disease, which prohibits large quantities of protein.
You can lose your liver and kidneys on a high protein diet. I have a friend that did, and had to have both transplanted.

Good morning to all...
Yesterday was a good day. I lead a fitness class to seniors three mornings a week at a local health club and once a month we have a potluck lunch....Yes, a luncheon at the health club..... :D We had 36 attending and there is always a wide vaiety of food and I try to sample a little of each. Sooooo much good food. But I don't eat anything in the evening...if I feel hundgry I will either have a small salad or maybe yogart. I know I go over my calorie count on that day, so today I will be extra careful and stay slightly under my calories. I have already been out and walked 4 miles. Had to do that early before it gets too hot. As it was, at 6:30 it was already 80.
Ya'll have a wonderful, blessed day

We spent the day hauling my daughter and her horse up to Estes Park to do the Grand Entry and Drill team for the Old Timers rodeo and we are going back up there today for the second performance. Estes has the most beautiful rodeo arena in Colorado in my opinion, if any of you visit Colorado you should definately try to see Estes Park! It is beautiful up there. The Elk walk through town and lay on the golf course, the mountains are so beautiful all around, AND they have 3 of the nicest quilt shops! LOL After this weekend the horse shows slow down and life should get calmer and I PROMISE to get everyones FQ's to them.

Hi
My problem seems to be the protein. I love myfitnesspal - it's really helping me but I am consistently eating way too much protein. My downfall seems largely to be greek yogurt. I love it and I add 1 tsp of ground flax seed to it but that makes it 14 g protein for a serving. I am just going to have to work harder at cutting it back.
I'm looking forward to September when it's cooler so I can start going for walks. The heat and humidity in August are too much for me!!
Between myfitnesspal and checking in on this thread every day, I am making progress!

are you using the non fat plain greek yogurt? When I switched to that from regular plain yogurt, I found that I ate less of it. I have berries or other fruit and the ground flaxseed. It keeps me full for quite a while.

I've been getting the zero fat greek yogurt with fruit from Costco. That's a good idea to check the regular and add my own blueberries, etc to it. I guess I need to go to the grocery store and read some labels to see if some have less protein.
....or limit myself to one a day! *sigh* no one said this would be easy!!
