Nothing seems to be working these days so I am giving in to the heat. I am still staying LC with only meat and veggies for one to two meals per day. However the heat has become unbearable. I have no a/c and I am having to do a lot of yard work and heavy work around the house so I am resorting to cold foods.
Breakfast and lunch is usually a couple of teaspoons of chunky peanut butter and a cup of LF yogurt. I chopped up a giant head of cabbage last Sunday and my veggie of the week was a cup of coleslaw with each evening meal. I have 2 heads left so I will continue that trend.
I also made a giant bowl of tuna salad using up some of the leftover salad fixings. I am using the last of the tuna today to make up another. The cool coleslaw and tuna salad have been heaven sent on these hot, hot evenings.
For snacks I have been having SF Jello and SF popsicles. I think all these items are adding up to more than the 30 carbs needed to lose weight, thus no scale movement.
I go to the hospital for the heart cath the first of July and there is lots more heat to come. I have decided to just stick with the "maintenance" diet for a little while longer (at least until I run out of yogurt and popsicles LOL) and get back to a more rigid Stillman type LC after the heart mess is cleared up.
Happy dieting,
Linda B in TN:)
