Weight Loss and Exercise #5

SquarePegGuy · Nov 01, 2024 at 08:38 PM

I've been on a pie-eating binge, and all that sugar has spiked cravings for more sugar.

@Discombobulated, you wrote, "I had good intentions..." but I read it as "I had good intestines..."

Maybe it belongs in the "What made you laugh today" topic

Omg me too! My pie-fever finally broke, i ate meat, potatoes, green beans and salad today. I feel better now.

See this is why i have this theory that fruitcake is an evolutional artifact. It came about when cave people became aware of growing seasons as a way to assuage their hunger, and it stuck around. Yeah, the ORIGINAL fruitcake is still out there somewhere!

I almost ordered a 30 count of Patti Labelles sweet potato pie cookies last night and I was looking around at her pies too

My weight was weird this morning. But I think steroids make you bloated and can cause water retention or some ****.

Mountaindewed · Nov 02, 2024 at 01:52 PM

Man am I so hungry. I'm doing fine though. I'm not even having any cravings. Its just like this weird *** med hunger. I'm around 1070 calories, and 185 carbs. I did get 3 bags of Harvest Snap fruit things and some of these hard cracker flatbread things to make riccotta cheese and cherry tomato snacks I saw on Reddit 1200 is plenty.

Patti Labelle has a manufactured food line?! That’s blown my mind (I’m in the UK and only know her as a singer).

Discombobulated · Nov 02, 2024 at 02:26 PM

I’m bombing on the exercise this week again, my son went out for a 5k and did it in good time too - oh to be 26 again.,,

Yeah she has sweet potato pies, butter something pies, banana pudding. And now these cookies. The sweet potato pies were a big deal several years ago. I used to be able to find single serve ones but I haven't seen them in a couple years.

Can you eat too much fruit and it then becomes a problem. I ate a single serve pack of apples and caramel dip, a single serve pack of apples and peanut butter, a small bag of freeze dried grapes, and a small bag of freeze dried strawberries. And I just threw up a ton and had some diarrhea.

Or is it my steroid that I'm done with

unaluna · Nov 02, 2024 at 08:23 PM

Thats probably more fiber than you are used to. My impression of your recent daily diet is like one serving of apple, and 5 servings of crackers and noodles, which they dont have a lot of fiber.

Also not much for the fruit to hold onto in there, IYKWIM! I should write a book, "How To Curate Your Poops." What foods to mix and match for um desired results. Aka Pooping For Dummies. Ive spent a lot of time perfecting this - i cannot have another butt crisis. Also what toilet tissue to select to complement. Instead of a wine sommelier...

Also i googled your lacroix and it said its as bad as soda for ulcers. So it that still happening?

Discombobulated · Nov 03, 2024 at 09:14 AM

Yeah it’s definitely possible to overdo fruit, especially the soft fruits they can be particularly fibrous, plus many fruits can be acidic.

Discombobulated · Nov 03, 2024 at 09:16 AM

Go me - I actually motivated to run 5k this morning, a rare Sunday morning off work and it was very peaceful out there, not the thrum of commuter traffic. I felt okay too, energy was good.

Blueberrybook · Nov 03, 2024 at 03:39 PM

Awesome @Discombobulated! I did pilates this morning; my toe/upper foot still is not right. I'm contemplating going to the doctor, but all she'll do is refer me for an x-ray. I should have gone to urgent care when I first smashed my foot only I didn't realize it would be this bad. Now it's no longer an urgent care issue; I won't get the x-ray & doctor all in one visit. I hate the healthcare system here.

Discombobulated · Nov 04, 2024 at 03:12 AM

That’s awful blueberry, I had no idea you’d face the issues getting to see the doctor and X-ray. So many bones in the foot and fairly easy to break. How long since you smashed it up?

Good for you doing Pilates!

BeyondtheRainbow · Nov 04, 2024 at 05:59 AM

@Blueberrybook I'd recommend getting it checked out. I ran over my toe with the trash can in May. I think I broke the bone below the toe, right at the end. At the time I thought it was just a little break and I'd be fine. It's been 6 months and it is just now not too sore to exercise with impact (there are other issues that have messed up my exercise routine too. I could have been doing something else like pilates or yoga.). I have a feeling a few weeks in a boot would have been good for me. After time passed I was too embarrassed to ask for an xray and I should have.

Blueberrybook · Nov 04, 2024 at 02:55 PM

I did pilates this morning

@BeyondtheRainbow I do have my regular 6 month checkup with the PCP next week, so I will definitely mention it then. It hurts pretty badly when I first get up but less as the day goes on. I am starting to think that about an hour after I take my Cymbalta in the morning, the pain lessens quite a bit. I'm also embarrassed about waiting so long; it's been nearly 2 weeks now.

Mountaindewed · Nov 04, 2024 at 06:21 PM

I'm not feeling good today. My doctor wants me to give a stool sample. Ritz crackers are something I can eat that are mostly ok. I've had about 1350 calories today. In crackers and a bag of pickle chips which really helped my stomach because of the sodium. I also had a protein shake this morning and a Kind bar.

Blueberrybook · Nov 05, 2024 at 09:33 AM

I did pilates again this morning. This morning my foot was hurting quite a bit less, and I almost tried a short walk around the block, which is around 0.5 mile, but rain was predicted, and I didn't want to be caught in that. All I need is for rain to fry my phone!

Mountaindewed · Nov 06, 2024 at 05:17 PM

I got on my treadmill today finally. I only did 5 minutes but I have to start somewhere. I also ate pretty decently besides some ramen but the ramen helped out my stomach issues a lot.

Blueberrybook · Nov 06, 2024 at 05:23 PM

Another day of doing pilates. I may try a short walk tomorrow morning.

Blueberrybook · Nov 07, 2024 at 05:43 PM

I was finally able to go for a 30 min walk this morning!
