Snow White's Journal Part 2

Feel better soon!!!!!!  

I'm sorry to hear you don't feel well, Snow White! I hope you're much better today. It was a very wise decision to stop drinking in the evening because alcohol is very calorific. I know that wine is good for health and we should regularly drink a glass, but vodka has more than 200 calories per 100 ml.
Feel better and have a nice day!         

I hope you are beginning to feel better!

Hang in there girl! 

I have been so sick and not really worrying about what I'm eating, just trying to get better. I have added in some dairy this week to just get my strength back up. So really vegetarian with no eggs. Thanksgiving is Thursday. I'm working Mon. & Tue. this week. Even though I won't eat it, I'm making the turkey for the family. My son asked me to make mac & cheese. So, I'll probably just be eating a bunch of sides that day and maybe a little dessert. I'm not big on dessert much...it has to be something really good for me to really want to eat it. Once I am over this sickness, I'm going to cut the starches and eat more fruit & nuts. Before, I was eating too much starch and not enough fruit for vitamin c...I think that's why I got so sick.

My weight was 177.5 this morning, but I'm really bloated a lot and I know I'll get it off.

Thanks everyone for checking in on me, but I just couldn't even look at the computer screen this weekend!

That's ok Snow white! I know what you mean, our bodies can hold a lot of water weight! When we are sick, we just don't feel like doing much else~

Feel better soon!

I've been sick also - I am finally feeling human again today! There is hope!  

Gosh we need a good boost of vitamin c lol.. good you are getting better love..xoxoxo

Hey Beautiful, how is you health today. I sure hope you are on the flip side doing better honey. I am feeling off again today but on plan otherwise .. yay.. happy tuesday!  

Sorry to hear you've all been so sick! Sending you all lots of sunshine and warmth from South Africa!!

Hey Beautiful.. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I wish you and your family a super day.. hope you are feeling so much better.. God bless you and all your family..xoxoxo

I have been in a terrible funk! Went off plan..went vegetarian...and even ate meat like 5 times. My blood pressure is through roof again. I need to get back to vegan just for my health! Going vegetarian and adding dairy/cheese opened the lid on my food addiction. I really had achieved some relief from the food cravings by eating vegan for a prolonged period of time.

I have gained weight quickly. But I am committed to losing it quickly as well! I will weigh in with another starting weight tomorrow morning and then I know what I need to do to make it happen.

I got sick I think from a lack of vitamin C, so this is my plan and we'll see how it goes:

b-nothing
l- fresh fruit & vegan protein shake (the shake is 120 calories)
d- 1/2 cup vegan soup & vegan protein shake (I may do 1/2 cup of the solids from the soup and then 1/2 cup of the broth from the soup b/c I know that the liquid doesn't effect my hungerstat.)

The main thing is to have fresh fruit every day for the vitamin C and have less starch which was not providing me with any nutrients. Now, the soup I'm making for my dinner to eat this week does have white beans in it, but it also has lots of kale, herbs, and sun-dried tomatoes. I may even half the beans that are in the recipe and add in some broccoli. Next week, I'll look for a recipe that is more veggie-based.

I ordered the vegan protein powder online and it's not here yet, so I'll just eat a spoon of peanut butter at lunch and dinner until it arrives.

If I'm going to be a vegan for real, I've got to be more committed to making sure I have my protein and my vitamins in check so that I don't get sick again. I wasted so much progress on this illness. I'm really concerned about my blood pressure and this just can't continue on.

Thank you so much, everyone for all of your support through my down time!!!!! I could not come back to this without all your support!!!

Hi Honey.. So happy you are doing better.. no worries on what you went through .. just great to see you are ok.. I myself am having some problems so I understand.. love you honey.. xoxoxox

Snow White-- have a wonderful day back on your new plan!  

12/2 185.6 What the fudge?????

b- nothing
l- spoon of peanut butter & an apple
d- spoon of peanut butter & 1/2 cup vegan bean, tomato, kale soup

I felt really weak like I was going to pass out...you know how those first couple of days back can be, but I didn't cheat. I may have 2 pieces of fruit with the peanut butter tomorrow. I'm doing the peanut butter for protein until my vegan protein powder gets here and trying to stay well! I also picked up a multi-vitamin and some chewable vitamin C.

Thanks for the support ladies!!! Now let's kick some a**!!!!        

I think the multivitamin is helping me. I must have needed something, because I feel better in some ways it seems. I also don't feel quite as deprived with the peanut butter!

Yay for getting back on track! You and I are close to the same weight. I am 5' 6". Are you the same height too?   

I did terrible last night after I posted! Uggg!

Herb'sgirl, I'm 5'3 1/2"

The fruit at lunch is not working out at all. I felt really weak and shaky again and then ate terribly this evening, too.

The vegan protein powder arrived. I will have a shake first thing in the morning. I have packed some vegan soup (1/2 cup), a banana, and a tangerine for my lunch tomorrow. I think I will try to just eat the soup at lunch and then if I'm feeling shaky in the afternoon have some fruit. I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I can't seem to get my balance back. I really don't get it b/c I was eating so little before and really not even feeling hungry. I really feel like I need that fruit in my diet, but I don't know when to eat it exactly to stay on track.

Snow white I'm sorry to here your struggling right now but you know sometimes its difficult sometimes its ez keep at it and I'm sure it will get better for ya

Oh love I am sorry you are having some problems. I am in stress and have been having fruit for lunch and a small dinner .. nothing else.. so pretty much the 10 bites.. lol.

I am praying for you love.. huggies.. xoxoxo

I want to recommend something Snow white. Its food based Chromium Gtf. It helps to balance blood sugars and hypoglycemia. Fruit based stuff can make that problem worse sometimes,
especially fruit juice makes it bad for me at times. Have you thought about a simple vit C tablet to supplement your Vit C

Hang in there girl~!

I jnow how you feel right now Snow White but keep going! You've gained back this weight in a short period of time and I think you'll lose it faster than if had been there for a few months. It's also happened to me so so so many times but don't worry! You can do it!
