Every time you talk to your children or about them, I can see the deep love and appreciation you have for children because your heart really shines through. What a blessing that is to see in parents. I am sure you are a great teacher too! Helping and educating all of your children with food (no denying it) and moderation (which us adults here are learning and re-learning too!!) gives them all a wonderful & healthy foundation regarding food for life. Thank you for sharing today! You did way more than just show food!!! 😉~~Sandra
Allanda - You’re a great mom. You have a beautiful family. Loved the video. I too eat food using smaller plates and bowls. I am doing a lot better on the water intake. Thank you for the tip. I went out to eat after the outlet mall venture and I haven’t been out to eat since I started my journey a month ago. Needless to say, I took 3/4 of my salad home. I did cheat and had a roll with the honey butter from Texas Roadhouse. Omgosh it was soooo good. Thank you so much for your videos and inspiration. Have a wonderful week everyone! ❤😊
@@debc929 🙏🏾 Thank you! Glad that you enjoy the time shopping! 🛍️ Any good finds? Leftovers are definitely a thing on a GLP journey! 😄 The Texas Roadhouse rolls are the bomb! We usually order a pack or two for the holidays. They sell them frozen. So delicious! 😋
@@Allanda180 Went to Buc-ees per usual. Got some lean brisket and cinnamon pecans. My friend found bargains at Adidas and Brighton I mainly went to get some walking in and man we walked 4 miles. Crazy, crazy. I’ll have to order rolls for the holidays. I wasn’t aware they were sold frozen. Yum!
That size plate is a great idea. Have you tried pineapple and cottage cheese? Yummm! Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever it’s cooked with. Different textures for different dishes.
@@topaz1x Oh yes, the small plate was a must. I found myself trying to force myself to get large portions at the beginning of the journey. The small plate helped with finding portions control. Oh, pineapple and cottage cheese! Delicious! 😋 Do you cook with Tofu? Any suggestions on a recipe?
Hi Allanda! I love your message of eat everything in moderation. I tell my daughter that too! I’m eating very similarly. I have been reducing my carbs lately. That has helped me move past my stall. Your children are beautiful! I love seeing them in the videos. Just Adorable❤️
Great video I like how you acknowledge what you did in the past and you don’t want your children to go through it. I would feel the same way my friend.❤❤ have a blessed Monday and I will see you on Friday
Cracked me up with the sound alarm in the fridge- 😅 I have same one, you can always turn alarm off while you’re in there lol I never do! Ty for sharing! 💞
As someone who eats a lot of tofu, one tip I can give you is to freeze it, then thaw it before cooking. Freezing makes the texture way better! ❤ Love your videos, by the way! ❤
Awesome video!!! 😃 Your sweet sweet kitty 🐈⬛ looks just like my cat! How adorable 🥰 😊 Is it a male or a female? And what’s its name?? My male cat name is Beighley 😌
@@Beighley Ah!!! His name is Kitty. My 15 year old named him eight years ago. She wanted to name him Kitty Cat, but we dropped the Cat. Now he is just Kitty. He thinks that he is a security guard. He patrols the houses all day when we are home. He needs to know where everyone is located. What is Beighley like?
Are you serious?!?!???! His name is Kitty?? 😃 Wowwwww I never would’ve guessed! I was just generalizing a name for him. Yeahhhh he looks like a little patrol officer 😄😄😁 making sure you ain’t doin nothin you ain’t suppose to be doin 😂. My Beighley is such a sweetheart and I mean that with all sincerity. He’s my comfort animal and I say that with high regards. He keeps a smile on my face and he’s fluffy like Kitty is… Beighley is a grey and white tuxedo color cat. Meaning he’s grey all over but with white paws 🐾 and feet. He does have some white patches under his chin and neck area as well. Beighley loves to communicate through scratching on my bedroom door to summons me to come out, give him a cat treat or feed him. I can go on and on about Beighleys butt 😊. But I will say that I’ve had him for three years now ever since he was about 2 months old. Kitty has some beautiful eyes and a beautiful coat. Thanks for sharing 🫶🏽
Great video! I used to use those electrolytes too and saw the sodium 😮 My ankles and hands swell too. I switched to Prime it only has 40mg of sodium compared to the 560 - 1,000 mg in the other ones.
Good Morning, You have some good food choices over there. Im also teaching my son about eating in moderation. My grandson think not eating sweets everyday is the worst punishment 😂😂😂. Was you nervous about taking Zepbound at first???
@@kuntrygyrl2493 Yeah! Honestly, I was not nervous. I was desperate for change. However, when I started Saxenda, I was nervous. It was a daily shot in my abdomen and I had very very little knowledge about how to use it. Plus, at the beginning, I “titrated” up weekly during the first fees weeks and I would be sick as a dog. I started getting reservations about the medication. I stuck with it and loss 40 pounds! Are you nervous about taking Zepbound?
@@jeaniepartlow7931 Hey! The Brie came from Sam’s and the Salmon packs are from Costco. I am hoping that Sam’s has something similar, because the Costco membership is getting canceled next month. 🤞🏾
@@oliviapope6438 Excellent question! Protein has many benefits and advantages during a weight loss journey. Focusing on protein during weight loss can be beneficial for several reasons: 1. **Satiety**: Protein is more satiating compared to carbohydrates and fats, which means it helps you feel fuller for longer. This can reduce overall calorie intake and help manage hunger. 2. **Muscle Preservation**: When losing weight, especially through caloric restriction, there's a risk of losing muscle mass along with fat. Consuming adequate protein helps preserve lean muscle mass, which is important for maintaining metabolism and overall body composition. 3. **Thermic Effect of Food**: Protein has a higher thermic effect compared to carbohydrates and fats. This means that your body burns more calories digesting and metabolizing protein. This can contribute to a higher overall calorie expenditure. 4. **Metabolic Rate**: Maintaining or increasing muscle mass through adequate protein intake can help keep your resting metabolic rate higher, which is beneficial for weight management in the long term. 5. **Nutrient Density**: Protein-rich foods often contain essential vitamins and minerals. Including these foods in your diet can help ensure you meet your nutritional needs while losing weight. 6. **Blood Sugar Control**: Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels when consumed with carbohydrates, preventing spikes and crashes that can lead to increased cravings and overeating. 7. **Improved Body Composition**: A higher protein intake can lead to a greater loss of fat relative to lean mass. This is important for achieving a healthier body composition. Incorporating sufficient protein into your diet during weight loss can enhance your efforts, making it easier to lose fat while preserving muscle, improving satiety, and supporting overall health. It's generally recommended to aim for a balanced intake of protein, alongside healthy fats and carbohydrates, to ensure a well-rounded diet.
