I really, really love bagels and have given them up for now. I just could not handle eating them in moderation. But someday, I look forward to enjoying them again. Toasted cinnamon raisin with cream cheese, or pumpernickel with lox. Yum! .-= WaistingTime´s last blog ..Today’s Lucky Number =-.

I hope I never rely on my blog for money – cause then it will feel like WORK!

The clothing thing – I find this is actually my best way of measuring my weight. But that is because I hold all my weight in my stomach. I’ve gained close to 5 lbs in the last two months (um, have you seen what I’ve been eating on my blog? no wonder! ) and all my pants dig into my tummy and leave marks around my waist. I don’t think it would be the same if I held my weight in my butt and thighs. It’s a good motivator to clean up my eating though – I can’t afford new pants!

Looks like y’all are still getting decent strawberries. I’m still buying them but they aren’t lasting long. But I did buy a lb and froze it for later.

Interesting list. I think I do all of those except for keeping a food journal. Since I tend to eat the same things at the same times every day, I don't bother with a food journal. It would look almost exactly the same from day to day! .-= Desert Agave´s last blog ..Saved by a Run =-.

That bagel looks delish!!!! I do that list although I don’t need to log my food anymore. Have that down even when I have to play around with it due to “the change”! As for clothes, I have a pair of jeans that fit pretty snug so they tell me exactly what is going on.. so I have no prob with that! The clothes & the scale but I use the clothes & how they fit a lot!

I heard a new study quite a few places about how a daily multi may not be best for you long term. I will find the link & get back to you BUT the jist was to supplement with only those vitamins/minerals you may thing you are deficient in. Like for me, I can’t do dairy although I eat greek yogurt so I take a calcium/magnesium supplement. Hope I can fine the link!

Nice list, I’m doing most of the things on it.

I don’t use clothing as a weight barometer because the size of clothing also is about the fitting. Sometimes a dress or a skirt looks better on me in a bigger size. So I’m not into sizes that much only that I refuse to wear anything bigger than size 44 (European size). Right now I’m at size 42 with most of my clothes.

Hope you can drop job #1 soon so you won’t be that busy anymore.

I’ve never had a French toast bagel – it sounds delicious! I think I may have done the he/she thing when dictating before. Thanks for the reminder. I think those tips are all sensible – especially number 1!

I like those tips! A little vague on the amounts (eg, for dairy, and what do they mean by “weigh carefully?” but good points. I’m pretty solid on all but 2 and 9 (quality good, but burned out on calorie counting-experimenting with photo journaling)), and I seem to constantly need refreshers on #5.

The big difference for me this time is learning to love exercise! Never thought it was possible.

Glad you both enjoyed a nice weekend!

I can’t use clothes as a stopper. Well, I could, but it’s not a fine-tuned enough instrument for me. I do like the list and do pretty well with most of them most of the time.

Thanks for the chicken curry recipe. I may adapt it in some fashion to make an egg white curried salad.
