Episode notes

Hey mates, it's January 20th. TGIF. It's Friday!

Not much is going on over here. Since it was a Friday, we do Friday Family movie nights. We used to do Uber Eats every Friday, but now, whoever has the movie pick now picks a meal for me to make. So today, my middle kiddo chose stuffed shells. The filling was SO good and the meat sauce turned out well too.

This weekend I'm hoping to get to a few of the other supermarkets to start checking prices and working out this grocery store wackadoodleness with prices. I'll also be doing some food prep Sunday night. We're going to a RenFaire on Sunday and that should be a good time. We haven't been to one in about 13 years.

Since I still have some listener questions, I wanted to do a round 2 on them!

What's my opinions of meds that help you lose weight? Am I open to it? And would I ever try it if nothing is working?

I think whatever works for people. Who am I to tell people what they should or shouldn't do. Heck, I had gastric sleeve surgery. I'm not sure if I can do weight loss meds, but I don't think it'd be for me unless I really did the research and made sure it was ok.

Am I open to trying out different diet methods besides counting calories, if my listeners recommended it to you?

I feel like I'm open to everything, and am always interested in getting tips, tricks, and new methods that maybe I don't know. Depending on what it was, I'd be interested in trying things out.

What past diet methods have I tried, and did they work?

Well, besides weight watchers, I've not really done any specific methods. Just putting my food into apps and trying to count calories and macros. We did the beachbody shakes for awhile. I also did bariatric protein shakes after the gastric sleeve surgery. But I needed to move on from those to get protein from real sources. 

Let me know what diet methods you have tried. What has worked for you? Let me know on my instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/weightmatepodcast/ or you can email me at weightmatepodcast at gmail dot com

Thanks for listening and being a mate!
