Week 2 Meals

Here ya go - week 2 complete! Weighing in the morning of Day 15 at I'm down about 6 pounds since I started.

 I did much better keeping plant-based this week with only 2 meals that included the dairy I'm still trying to use up. Note I skipped breakfast one day because I was still feeling ill from the previous night's disastrous meal.

Food note can be found on the left sidebar.

Week 6 Meals

Yikes. I really went off the rails this week. My best guess is that I was fighting bronchitis, and feeling poorly, I gave into my anxieties and depression. I also didn't get any hikes in because I didn't feel well. BUT. I'm not giving up. And you see next week that I've gotten back on track.  I did not, however, have the courage to weigh in. Or maybe it was more a matter of self-realization, knowing that a "bad" reading could set off another binge. I'd much rather stay the course eating-wise and check back in with the scale when I'm in a better headspace.  B L D S S S 36  Steel cut oats with blueberries, ground flax seed Fake cheese and tomato sandwich; banana Pasta (112g) with 4 gardein meatballs & sauce; orange 2 lemon poppyseed muffins Pb toast 2 lemon poppyseed muffins 37  Kodiak waffle (1/2c mix) with blueberries, banana, flax Curry udon Brown rice with cauliflower curry; olives orange Larabar 2 lemon poppyseed muffins 38  Fake cheese and tom...

Greetings, fellow Earthlings of Size

Hello there and welcome to my blog.  I will be documenting my weight loss adventure on these pages. Have I lost half my bodyweight? Well, no, not yet. But I will. Because I don't want to be fat any longer. Hear me out. I don't care if you, fellow Earthling, are big or small or tall or short, as long as you love yourself and are happy and healthy. But for me, the size I am does not make me happy and I'm definitely not healthy. I'll share more in future posts.  I am by nature a very private person. I wasn't always fat. Ten years ago I was a size 2/4. Now I'm a size 18/20. Over these past ten years I've tried so many ways to drop the weight, none of which has worked. But this time it will.  So, from the start, I am documenting every thing I eat and how it affects me. I'll post a weekly summary of my meals and snacks, and will add in a weight check now and then. I'm currently on Day 5 of this adventure, so on Day 8 I'll publish the first week of food...

Am I getting enough iron?

I worry about iron. Several years ago I was turned away at the blood donation center after an initial pinprick revealed insufficient iron. And several full-on vegan friends suffer from anemia.  So let's dig into it. 1. How much iron do I actually need? According to the NIH, as a 50+ year old female, I only need 8 mg of iron per day. Just 8! Note that younger women will need much more, especially if pregnant. And note that men of all ages really don't need all that much. Here's the source:  Table 1: Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for Iron [ 5 ] Age Male Female Pregnancy Lactation Birth to 6 months 0.27 mg* 0.27 mg* 7–12 months 11 mg 11 mg 1–3 years 7 mg 7 mg 4–8 years 10 mg 10 mg 9–13 years 8 mg 8 mg 14–18 years 11 mg 15 mg 27 mg 10 mg 19–50 years 8 mg 18 mg 27 mg 9 mg 51+ years 8 mg 8 mg 2. Am I getting enough iron? Ya know, despite my worries, I think I am on the whole! My go-to steel cut oats with ground flax have 2+ mg of iron. And my beloved fake cheese and tomat...
