Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

Published

Ok folks, time has come to Start anew.......over 1000 posts means LOTS of bandwidth use here at allnurses.com. So I have been asked to remedy the situation.....

Anyhow, I have enjoyed so much your sharing, help and support here on the Healthier Living Thread....let's keep it up!!!!!:)

QOD: What is your favorite "old" or "new" healthy food/recipe? Care to share?

I have "rediscovered" oatmeal. Yep old fashioned good ole Quaker Oats-----the slow cooked kind.....with raisins, a bit of cinnamon and some Splenda.....YUMMY. Eating this as my dh's cholesterol and lipid counts were very high---trying to clean up my own dietary practices to help him with his....anyhow.....

Anyone else? As you change/grow/develop new tastes, what are your "old" or "new" healthier-choice favorites??? Care to share????

Jess, I'm thinking yours is like a dieter's dream--you want the food, it tastes good, but you know after it goes down, it's really not good for you?

Just a thought.

With images like yours and Renee's in my head, even I could lose a couple of pounds.

Sooo......anyone have any good nightmares about chocolate lately?

Yeah, or just plainly my subconscious is frustrated :rotfl:

They eat gator around here, although I haven't had any. I have had conch fritters in Key West. :)

Renee, that's some odd looking chocolate. But perhaps that's what your dream is about. :)

I'll eat healthy today, but no workout as I'm working a 12-hr shift today.

Yummy - I had conch fritters in the Bahamas years ago when vacationing there. They are soooooooo delicious! :)

Have a great shift at work today, Tweety! I'm SURE you'll get a great workout running 18_3_110.gifthose hallways at work, and that's "workout" enough. :uhoh21: 5_1_124.gif

i've never before seen chocolate made this way, so was fascinated with it. just me being "me". :D

Hi Jessica! How did your nutrition exam go today? :)

Where have all our healthy living peeps gone? :uhoh21: Is everyone being "baaaad" with their health of late? :rotfl: I know I have because today I ate at least FIVE miniature powdered donuts. :uhoh3: I'm still contemplating walking on the treadmill today. Just doesn't seem to be my cup of exercise lately. :p

I'm still around. I haven't backslided much. I worked out at the gym yesterday and ate pretty good. It's off to work today and I packed a good lunch.

I found a steak in the fridge tonight. I haven't had steak since I started the diet, so I'll have that. I'm going to eat up all the meat in the house and then not buy any more. I've got a lot of salmon and talapia too.
