I'm still at parents, they've got a bunch of good exercise equipment downstairs, so i can still exercise. not joining a gym at all, it's much more convenient doing it at their house, don't need special exercise clothes or anything either....that part of this works out, but, still better for me to be at my apt, with my food, i'd be eating a bit lower calories if i wasn't in hospital or at parent's house. but i do admit the food is overall healthy indeed anyway, despite higher cals. I haven't gained too much weight because i lost a couple lbs right before hospital, but now i'm borderline gaining again because i've had extended higher cals for around one month now....happy to be back at my apt soon, probably by next weekend.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
was your salmon frozen!?
That's so cool about your online friend. I think I remember GG on here. Anyway, I've been thinking about getting a Ninja Foodie for my husband. It's an air fryer but it also can work as an InstaPot. (In my day, we called InstaPots pressure-cookers.) Quick and healthy cooking - can't go wrong with that. I love my crockpot, but you have to plan in advance with that, hence the Foodie.

Happy Friday!!!!
Quite wise to have a week off between your program and then getting back into the workplace... especially with it being Thanksgiving. It sounds nice to just have that break, to regroup and be thankful for all blessings, big and small.
It is SO hard to eat according to others' ways of eating. One of the reasons I have difficulties staying at my brother's house is that they are all about carbs. Hardly a vegetable in sight, unfortunately. Same with mom, except that she is plant-based, so it's definitely healthier, although she's still doing the low-sodium thing (yuck). Anyway, just saying that I KNOW it's difficult to adjust, and I think you've done a fine job of it. Once you are home, then you'll eat the way you like to eat.
yes, i'm glad to have some time off - though some is to be used as you said with family for thanksgiving and back sleeping at my parents' house from tuesday eve until Thursday as my mom would appreciate some of my help to prepare for the holiday - fine with me ;)
yes, once i'm home i think it may be a small challenge to "eat the way i eat" because i'm used to even more volume lately and bigger meals for over 1 month since at the hospital i ate more and at parents i also did for an extended time. luckily, it's no more time and any weight i gained has just brought me to a higher weight, but since i weighed slightly lower to start, it's just brought me up but not anything that is so totally uncomfortable or adjustable. THANK GOSH.
You and I both know just how difficult it is to lose a bunch of weight!
My parents did eat very healthfully and much more than most families while i was here. it's just i tend to eat smaller portions in the evening compared to them because i like to snack throughout the day. I do think it's great they eat salads usually before dinner though and it's something i can consider with my lunch more...since the program i'm at does this too (in a way - i actually usually am taking both their meals at the program - the veggie salad and there's usually an extra salad with meat that i make into a sandwich).
it's nice and healthy to have like a large salad and a sandwich...something i'm going to consider for work lunches instead of ALWAYS chips which i usually do as my carb instead of bread.
really, it's just something to think about for me - think about new options.
my way of eating is more processed than my parents actually...but i miss those treats - although as you see i found a way of trying out gummy candies that were sf and other things while here. even bars, new brands, from 7-11. so, i have eaten somewhat my way but i'm used to a smaller, (often more manufactured) dinner. i was even eating just apples large ones, with wine, for dinner sometimes. i miss the ease of eating light when home alone!

Funny you mention gummies because I was just thinking to myself this week how much I LOVE gummies -- and sorry, not talking about the sugar-free ones I make. I take a few vitamin supplements, and some of them are in gummy form. I take these at night, and I really look forward to my vitamin gummy "snack". I honestly think I could eat a whole big bag of them every night.
i've had those gummies...once i did overeat that gummy vitamin bottle too...it's def tasty. i eat a little candy several times a week if not most days just so i can get my fix on a small amount and be happy too.
