Shrewdness's Journal, 05 May 21

Happy Cinco de Mayo. My plan is to celebrate with taco spiced lean beef served over a salad with fresh salsa as a dressing and Tortilla strips for crunch. Yummy, healthy and fits the theme of the day. 

Good morning Shrew!! 😊🌈🦋😊 I’m there with you we are not celebrating either with food today. Doing our usual salad for dinner, protein Shake somewhere in the day & something healthy when we break fast at noon. No nachos in house 😃 Maintaining is better than gaining. You keep moving forward new day! 😊🌈🦋🎉👍👏🌻😊 

Actually Zoebony, that is my favorite, ground beef over salad, I don’t even need a dressing. 😁 I will put a bit of sour cream if calories allow. Enjoy your wonderful salad!😋😋😋👍 

very funny I think I am going to have beef and bean burritos 

😂 Have a great day Shrew🙏🏽💕 

I’m celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a joke ( not good) What do chickens make for cinco de Mayo? Bahk bahk a mole 

Good Morning Damablack! 😊 I am just having soup and sandwich no wonderful Mexican.☹️ I also break fast at noon. It is a habit I got into that I love. I really get to about 11am and have to have something, but by 3pm I am fasting again. I am 99%, of the time not even hungry while fasting. I almost feel like it is a secret to loosing weight. 😊 Have a Happy Hump Day!👍 

Mariel, I was thinking about doing that myself, I always am stuffed and actually loose weight on a bean burrito. Sounds delicious, enjoy!👍🌸 

Thanks Ettenauj! I hope you have a blessed great day too!👍💕🌸 

SkinnieMinnie I loved the joke!😆👏👏👍 I love chickens, I am not sure why, but I do.😊 Why did the Roman chicken cross the road quickly? Because she was afraid someone would Caeser! See, sorry.😁👍 

Shrew... you are doing great!!! Have you measured lately.I think one of the hardest things to remember is the scale isn't the only tool we use in this journey. If it was I think I would quit some days. I wished I was clever with words and out a smile on your face. The witty comments above are amazing.  

Hi Rains. I never measure, I am a little tall so there’s not much of a bulge. My pant size went down to the point I wore flooders to work and I wondered why I had to keep pulling them down, a bit embarrassing. When I got home I realized I had my husband’s jeans on, it was the best feeling I ever had! He has always been in shape, but my legs are longer and to be able to fit in his jeans I was in heaven! Don’t you dare quit!! I look forward to hearing about your adventures. Plus, the app keeps one in better shape if nothing else. How is your quilt coming along? Have a pleasant rest of the night!🌸🌺💕 

😂 Put mayo in the sink, Cinco de Mayo, too funny! That made my day! 

Too funny, Shrewdness! Seriously though, your body composition may be shifting. Perhaps you are losing fat and gaining muscle. That’s a great place to be no matter what the scale says; sooooo- congratulations? Keep up the good work? 🤗 

Thanks for the laugh. Good luck with getting the scale to cooperate. Congrats on abstaining from the nachos. It was something I woke up looking forward to, but somehow managed to avoid as well. 

Thanks Dita, my husband is a true comedian at heart, so I think it just rubs off.😁 

You may be right LIS, for I am exercising a little more. Thanks.👍 

Oh Jeannieselby, this will not happen next year, oh no, those nachos are mine!!!😆 Congratulations on skipping them!👍👏👏👏🌺 

We went to Taco Loco and ate tacos. I had 3: Pollo, Carne Asada, & Tripitas Doradas & Fresas con Crema. :-P 

Clever inspiring comments. Especially the one about the secret to weight loss!
