Good morning and Happy Friday. I think I should be saying TGIF. I didn’t do much this week but I still feel a little drained. I am currently looking at the water which is glistening in the sun. Looks beautiful but I know it’s cold outside. It is still so wonderful to look at especially since it’s been cloudy most of this week. So far there has been no movement on the plots for that hotel that will block my…
I was cleaning out the refrigerator yesterday and realized I had tons of apples. Why not make Apple Chips. So easy to do and works for every diet. Baked Apple Chips Ingredients 2 large unpeeled apples ¼ cup date sugar ½ tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp ground nutmeg Method Preheat oven to 200°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a mandoline or serrated knife, cut apples crosswise into ⅛-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on…
Sometimes I’m amazed when I look at my stats to see which blogs are still popular getting consistent hits. Like this one on Intermittent Fasting two months later https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/08/31/intermittent-fasting-2-months-later/. This blog was written in August of 2018. However it wasn’t the popularity of the blog that struck me it was the date I wrote the blog because I STILL EAT THIS WAY!!!! Wow that’s along time and this blog was written two months later. I actually started eating the intermittent…
I feel a little down since my neurologist appointment the other day. I haven’t shaken it off. I’m not down about having MS, I’m down about MS causing me to gain weight. Between the medicine, my age and lack of physical ability I can’t control my weight and I am very sad. I spent my entire life battling my weight. I was always up and down on the scale since I was a teenager. I’ve read about and tried every…
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting at a 16:8 schedule for over a year now. What does that mean? It means I eat between in an 8 hour time frame and fast for a 16 hour time frame. For me I ate between the hours of 11-7. The rest of the time I ate nothing and consumed only water. I finished the book the obesity code The Obesity Code this weekend. I must say I learned something new about dieting from…
After my upsetting week last week following weight watchers I choose to see my weight differently. I asked the universe for help. I immediately got to my life coach but then I got an email from my cousin. It was actually her second email regarding a book called <br /> . My cousin’s first email was explaining about the book before she knew I was struggling. The second email was following my blog post where she was more insistent that…
I never admitted this to anyone until the other day when I told my Noom coach and my life coach. I am sure people suspected and some saw evidence. I am and have always been a closet binge eater. I do it at periodic times. I go through phases. I’ve even learned how to maintain my weight or even to lose weight while doing it. I can remember all the way back to when I was 10 years old buying…
I tried Keto for a few months and it did work for me at first. I did take off weight but eating like that wasn’t something I could do on a long term basis. As I got sick of the food, I started eating bad. I just don’t like cheese and butter all that much after not eating it for over a year. At first it was good like a new treat but that wore off quickly. I did like…
I am still doing this all these months later. I now eat between the hours of 11-7. I also don’t usually drink my coffee until 11 as well. The truth is I haven’t lost weight from this but I haven’t gained weight either. I have to agree with the doctors that losing weight when you lose mobility is very difficult. I sit most of the time so I don’t burn as many calories as the average person. I do try…
I am finishing up the meat in my house and going back to a more plant based vegan diet. I switched to Keto to change things up and it did. I lost the most of the 10lbs I gained over the last year but I don’t like really eating this way. I miss my fruits and veggies. I miss my soups. I hate eating the cheese and I hate the butter. It was good at first but now I’m just…
