nice, whole foods. so healthy! I have become a big fan of rice, too. I used to avoid it like the plague but after YEARS, started to include it in my lunches relatively regularly at work & the result is that i feel much more energized after lunch!
i also like cottage cheese on toast, very satisfying. lately, most of the dairy i choose is not fat free though, because it doesn't satisfy me. I choose either full fat or 2% dairy products :) they satisfy me!

I've never tried cottage cheese on toast. I buy the low fat cottage cheese. I do like it with fresh pineapple on it, but didn't buy any.

I've been cooking the brown basmati rice, and even mr husband likes that. I know I also avoided for years, but now it is a staple of our diet!
As happened last time I was trying to lose what I'd regained, it is coming off very, very slowly. My workouts are very good, but then exercise is only about 5-10% of weight loss. Think I'd better have some 1200 calorie days, then 1500 on workout days. That should shake up my metabolism.

Why do you think .8lbs is not good!? That's awesome - almost a full pound!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grannyannie on 03/21/2015:
I was hoping for more. Usually when I've been trying to lose it's at least 1.5 lb a week. I think I've reached the point where I've gained/lost too many times and it's getting harder. Especially as we 'age'.

Quorn curry sounds good.... I used to eat those products, they do need some kinda sauce or flavoring...
grannyannie on 03/18/2015:
Quorn must be in a sauce or it's tasteless, like tofu. My husband uses either the mince or pieces in curries and chilis. Yum.

First off, I absolutely love the bathroom transformation. You guys really opened up a small space by going with lighter and brighter colors. I love your framed photos too, we have artwork in the powder room and I think it's so cheerful. And secondly, congratulations on your loss, woo hoo!!
grannyannie on 03/16/2015:
Thanks! Glad the last room is finished. All projects now will be small.

Love the new flooring--is it the single-square type with adhesive backing? I have a bathroom with carpeting and while it is perfect for not slipping on a wet floor, etc--it's awful as a concept. Especially when going to sell.
Have a great evening!
grannyannie on 03/15/2015:
Thanks. Yes adhesive backing and each tile has 4 patterns in it. I've been wanting to get the carpet out of that bathroom for years! It never feels clean. Our main bathroom also had carpet but finally got that tiled as well. We just use the throw rugs and also a bath mat for outside the tub/shower.

Blue one is pretty but I def like the white one better! It looks very nice and much more spacious! :-)
grannyannie on 03/15/2015:
I did love that colour blue but can't find anything but white in the shops. That's okay. Looks so clean.

Beautiful! Way to go! (Literally)
Busy finishing the bathroom this morning (unless I run out of gloss paint). Husband has done all the major stuff. I just have to sand and paint the door and touch up other spots.
