In recent weeks, I’ve been reminded, seen, read, that more than a handful of Richard’s Bold, Bodacious, and Beautiful Well-Wishes have decided to embrace healthier eating habits.
Healthier Eating Habits, sounds much better than DIET. I know. I need badly to get back on the wagon. I have not taken my meds as I should since I got sick in November, and I see my doctor the end of this month.
Okay, I’ve taken them TWICE in 7 weeks. Not good.
I realize I miss my meetings, but right now, I have some financial obligations that are keeping my funds tied up. And this is something I can do, I just… well… encouragement, you know? Seeing how so many of my friends and my friends friends are spread out all over creation, but we now have at least 2 things in common – Richard and trying to be healthier, I propose the following.
Create an RA BBBWW blog here? A place where we can post openly, share recipes and food blogs, be a shoulder, cheer each other on. Just be a positive force with each other. We can be our OWN group, y’know?
I’m tired of yo-yoing. I’ve lost the same 20 – 30 pounds for the last 3 years. I’m tired of being really good in my blood sugar for several months and then relapsing. It gets HARDER to fix my blood sugar anymore.
We can do this! We can! We are strong by ourselves, but mightier and a force to be reckoned with as a group whole. Who’s with me??
Here. While you’re thinking about it… Guyday!
Yessssss! I am fully on board with the idea! In fact I *need* the encouragement and motivation that comes with sharing the “healthy-eating” process! And I would love to share recipes, tipps and tricks, updates, worries, successes with others – encouraging others, asking others for encouragement.
Brainstorm: How do we go about it? Create a WP blog where every participant in our BBBWWWW (Bold Bodacious Beautiful Weight-Watching Well-Wishers) has author rights and can post on their own initiative? Might be the easiest way of achieving it, or what did you have in mind?
Feeling much better already, just because of the prospect of this little project! Thanks for taking the initiative, Zee!
This answer was supposed to go here! LOL!
i’m thinking the group blog you’ve suggested would be the way to go. It would be perfect.
I have a TON of recipes and snacks. I have a load of diabetic and chinese recipes (I’ve found the chinese recipes are VERY low in points – as long as it’s not breaded and fried and you go with stir fry veggies in lieu of rice!)
fab – let’s go for it!
I have a function in the morning, but when I get home, I’ll get to work on it.
BTW – I have NO clue how to go about this… if anyone knows or has any experience ping me or drop me a line.
You mean setting up the blog and giving others the author rights? Easy! I’ll drop you a line later – am now at a concert for the next hour and a half.
Yes! Enjoy your concert!!!
It was great, as usual – Rachmaninoff is always a winner. And this time we got a modern work for solo viola – very rare. Best thing about that was the percussion section, though. Boy, did they have to work for their money 😂
I love Rachmaninoff. Love love love love.
My favourite composer.
Mine as well. My favorite to PLAY is Beethoven.
When you get time, I could use some help getting the site set up. It keeps wanting to charge me 100.00
I have limited e-mail access right now because the provider is doing some maintenance on the service right now, so I can’t e-mail you. But just as a quick reply – setting up a second blog should be free. Did you start from this page: https://wordpress.com/start/design-type-with-store-nux It takes you through the set-up step-by-step.
Somehow, when I started, I ended up with ‘blog’…. and that’s what was costing. I’ll try this way…
I’m in! I’ve been going in the wrong direction and need to get back on track. I’ve only got five people interested in a Weight Watchers at work group here and I can’t set one up unless I have a minimum of 15. So on-line mutual support sounds like the way to go!
Hey, the more, the merrier! 🙂
A group blog sounds like a fantastic idea. I have to confess that as soon as the word ‘diet’ is mentioned I immediately switch off and have a temptation to eat everything that is ‘bad’ for me. Healthier eating is much better (and far less rebellion prompting)
I’ve almost totally converted milk chocolate into dark chocolate. I can eat just a fraction of the dark and be satisfied. Don’t LIKE it as much as milk… and I refuse to touch DIET coke. Nasty.
I’m in… I’m a huge believer in healthy eating rather than dieting and I *think* I’m currently in the right frame of mind to make a difference. Maybe!
Count me in! I’m not dieting anymore, I want to eat to stay healthy, if the weight comes off its a bonus.
Include me please. 🙂
A great idea and I’ll be cheering you all on from the sidelines. I’m buying bigger sizes than I’d like these days and I’d love to join you but the range of things I can eat is too limited for WW or the like.
So I’m going to start by cutting out things like crisps/chips and chips/French fries, and sustituting Americanos for lattes. Should be easy peasy if I think of those Guy pics up there ❤ and imagine him shaking his head at me. 😡
Join us anyway! If we can be an inspiration… shoot maybe we’ll have something you can have. I’m the world’s pickiest eater – I am NOT fond of veggies at all!
Thanks for the encouragement, Zee. I shall stick around
Okay, I do not have more than the one food recipe I put up already for my Pekingese. But I have a lot of skinny healthy sisters. My mom is pretty good too. Unless anyone objects, I can share some of the things they do and which I also find myself doing even tho I am not skinny and healthy.
[1] Drink a glass of water before eating; if you have already eaten dinner and need to resist eating junk food or late at night, [2] brush and floss your teeth.
There are more, but I’m drawing blank at the moment. If I remember more, I will share. 😀
I’ve sent you an invite to be an author. You can share what they do – and what you do when you’re able to do it!
Cool, as long as you realize, I am not very sophisticated about food at all ☃️💕❄️
