THE ON AND OFF AGAIN DIET I BEEN ON


So did up 2 batches of bean mix yesterday. The first one came out normal, but I seem to have added a lot more veggies to the second one that I needed. Thus this batch I'm into today is 1/2 again as much as normal. Yeah, it's veggies so not a big issue, but the portions are a bit too filling.

The strange thing is, I have about a 50/50 chance of not feeling the need to eat at all in a day and non stop hungry all day. This is caused by a medication I am taking and is kind of common. Some people just get the hungry all day part of it - so that would suck twice as bad as I have it.

The bean diet worked wonders for the time I stuck to it. If you been following this blog or watching me on YouTube, you know I been cheating a LOT this last 18 months or so. Thus the amount of weight loss has slowed down a great deal. Sure it's still a loss, but it's a 1/4 of what I lost the first year.

I do realize that at the start it always comes off quicker than in the end. It does slow down and the more you lose the harder it is to lose more. That being said, I done messed it all up with the constant junk food and processed crap food days.

One good hit of pizza and pop will mess up an entire week for me it seems. This is due to the fact I am disabled and for the most part do nothing all day but sit on my butt. So I don't work off the food I eat. The bean diet good for weight loss and still healthy.

The thing is, the medication making me hungry all day some days leads to me hitting the junk food. I know, it's ALL on me for doing this and no excuses. I'm just saying why I am doing it. OK 50% of it is I'm weak willed.

I have no idea how I stuck to it the first year I was on this diet. I just don't know. But I did some how. Oh well. Got to keep on keeping on.

Hell I feel better now than I did in years and my quality of life has improved a great deal. So if I drop dead today, at least the effort was worth it - it gave me a few years of better quality life. In the end that is all we can ask for.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
