Let's Share!!!

On days like today () in my pre-op days, I would find comfort in those hearty warm meals!  NOT ANYMORE!!

BUT I do use the stove to "extra" heat my home!  LOL

SOOOO, let's share our NEW HEALTHY ways to warm up (fodd, exercise, ect.) on frozen tundra days!!  What do you make?  What do you do for exercise? Or anyting else!!  You sharing might help someone else!!!

Also, what is your FAVORITE protein rich meal/snack?!?!

Keep warm, stay on track and shed those pounds (or maintain)!!!

Personally, I have found that my POLARTEC long-johns (available at Cabela's) do the trick!  That, plus lots of layers, my Steger Mukluks (mukluks.com) and stylin' scarves that I keep around my neck darn near 24/7.  (Okay, I don't SLEEP with a scarf on, that'd be suicide.  But most days, I've got a warm fuzzy around my neck!  Plus, knitting them gives my hands something to do!)

I would never claim to run, my knees won't allow it...  but I DO "trot" from my car across the parking lots to the stores & such I visit!  Just to get me OUT of the cold that much quicker!

As for my favorite protein rich snack?  PEMMICAN ORIGINAL BEEF JERKY!  mmm.... think I'll have me a couple of pieces right now!!

Layers?  I have soooo many on the scale says +10!!! and I'm still COLD COLD COLD!!!  When I go outside in the weeeeee hours I have 2 winter jackets on!!!  SERIOUS!!  I am a freeze baby now!!

Mmmmmm~ Beef Jerky!!!   I forgot to mention that my protein rich meal is Chili or Egg Custard(recipe was on here some time back)......oooooooo soooooooo YUMMY!!   Custard needs oven!!  Off I go

Sandy,

Good topic.......

On cold days I like to make good protein meals like- Chilli or roast beef with veggies, smells the house all up, Yum......Plus the oven warms the house......

Today I worked out on my home gym, it worked, I got warm.........Other day's I jog on my treadmill.......

For a snack I recently found, Jack Links beef steak sticks, you can have 3 pieces for 75 calories, 1g. fat, 2g. sugar, 14g. protein. They are small but good, and 3 fill me up....I got mine at Walmart.

If I really need to take the chill off, a nice hot shower.....  :)

Hey Rick, when are you gunna post that wonderful yummy treat to help me go that I tried at MG coffee? :) 

(... he posted that recipe Saturday afternoon, gf...  you want I should mail you a few in Austria??)

oh goody! I will scroll down and fine it!! Mail it? I am sure they are fantastic, but not worth the $80 DHL bill, lol

I'm all about warm PJs and a sweatshirt with the fireplace on cuddled up next to our great dane Chase!!

for me flannels, slippers and sweaters are the fashion wear. I make my DH crazy in bed....... NO not that! The electric heater is running in the bedroom, I have slippers on, PJ pants, long sleeve PJ shirt and 3 heavy blankets.   I was never like this before, just since losing weight.

Warm tea helps the inside. I don't have a favorite protein meal/snack, I always have several things around home so I can grab what I'm craving.
