My new favorite thing to eat !! Yes its "processed" I guess, but i LOVE LOVE LOVE morning star products. Not all of them are my favorite, but almost all of them i have had are good.
This one tastes like REAL lasagna ! Nothing nasty about it . It tastes fresh , and healthy.
I hate , and i mean HATE frozen dinners or food. They taste nasty to me and never taste like "real " food. But this one is GOOOD . No , no one is paying me for this ( I wish LOL) but i wanted to let ya'll know about it .

So if you try the Lasagna let me know what you think !
They also have a new Chinese Sweet and Sour meal out too . Let me know if you try that one !

Blog Help

Does anyone know how i can do this ? OK let me see if i can explain ...
My old email account I had to stop using , someone "stole" it .
So i had to create my new one . However, blogger is under my old account.
How can i transfer blogger to my new email address ? Or put my new email address under blogger ? As of now i have to still sign in under the old address to get into my blogger account .
I want to be able to sign in under my new one ? Does that make sense ?
Any thoughts on how i can transfer ? Or Am I going to have to transfer everything over ?
And start over ?

Shopping my "new way" on a buget

Has proven to be challenging . I went Sunday to the grocery store and followed my new rules. First off chicken , natural chicken NOT happening . Its $6.00 a pound ! WTF ? So im going to have to try something else. There was another brand at my store that says 100% natural that's abotu the same price as "regular" chicken i went ahead and got, but im going to have to see what the difference is . Need to do more research.
There are a few "Natural" food stores in town that have prices close to the regular store prices on produce and meat , again need to check them out . I am in the home town or the birth place of Whole Foods. But they are expensive i know that.

I did try Chocolate Almond Milk . And its not bad ! I have been using it to take my meds with in the morning . It has a after taste, not a bad one , not sure what the taste is , but its there.

My normal weekly grocery bill is around $150 , it was about $175 this week , so that's not bad. Im also going to go back to clipping coupons, something i use to do religiously and got away from. So that should help as well.

This way of shopping, thinking and eating is going to take some more planning .

Eating Right Again but a little different

So after watching Oprah the other day I have decided to try to eat right again . Something I was going to do anyway. But im going to try something different. The "next level" if you will.
As some of you might remember I have chronic migraines . One of the best things to do for migraines is to eat fresh, non processed foods. The less preservatives the better. So after watching Oprah and the episode of "food 101 " Im going to try my own version of what was said in the episode. Which is :

1. Eat Food , Mostly Plants ( greens, veggies )

2. Naturally raised beef and chicken and pork when I can find it , if i cant find it or afford it I wont buy it .

3. Pasteurized Milk, Milk from Grass fed cows ( NOT cheap by the way)
I will substitute this some for Rice and Almond Milk

4.Avoid food products containing ingredients that a third-grader cannot pronounce.
I found some products today , natural pasta side dishes, that fit into this.. Meaning they had 3 or 4 simple ingredients .

5. Whole Wheat Breads and Pastas.

6. Eat only foods that will eventually rot. (This will be modified a bit due to the kids foods. But for MY foods it will apply ! )

7. Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself. ( I think this is a GREAT Rule ! )

8. While shopping i will stay on the outer isles of the store the best i can . Fresher , healthier foods are there . !

That pretty much sums it up i think.

I went shopping today my bill was not TOO much more than my normal either which was great.

CONFESSION

Ok so you know the feeling when you gain weight and you feel like its out of control ?
WELL Im there now ! Im up to 155 pounds ! ok i said it ! SHIT !
Im off to work out now . I either need to try to work off 15 or 20 pounds or get a fill. Im still a little worried to get a fill in fear of slipping my band. But I still need to work out .
Something I must confess I have rarely done since being banded. We have a work out room in my new apartments so might as well use it huh ?

I will probably still get a fill next week when i can afford it just to make sure i dont gain more.
But a small one to help control hunger.

IM SO scared to gain more weight. I MUST do something about it now !

An Update

I have not been on here in FOREVER ! Im not sure if anyone noticed or not LOL
Just a quick update and I would like to , need to start blogging again.
We FINALLY moved out of my parents house ! YEAH ! We have an apartment now. We decided on an apartment because it was so cheap to move in to. $400 as opposed to $4000! I spoke to some people around here about getting into houses and they said w/ the economy the way it is , if you have bad credit land lords are wanting 2 or 3 or more months rent UP FRONT. Who the hell can do that ? So for the first year we are in an apartment . Its nice, i like it , plus it will be easier to not deal with a yard and stuff as much as my husband works out of town .

NOW my weight ! My parents did not eat or cook the way I do and since i have been totally unfilled this whole time ive gained about 25 pounds ! Im a little scared quite honestly to go get a fill, im afraid my band will slip again . SO I plan on going next week to get a very small fill , just enough ( I hope ) to control my hunger . Plus im hoping living on our own again , eating the way I normally eat will help get the weight off.
