    Sunday's Menu:

    egg breakfast burrito (same as Saturday), fresh carrot -oange juice, coffee with skim milk

    cabbage salad with grilled salmon

    green smoothie (spinach, blueberries, pineapple, water)

    grilled turkey burger, onions and peppers, roasted haricot verts

    toast and tea

    Very nice. Yesterday wasn't a great day for me. I didn't plan well, and was in a meeting all day (that provided food). It wasn't terrible, just not my best.

    My menopausal symptoms suck right now (insomnia, vertigo, tinnitus, crankiness), so I'm going to experiment with lowering my carbs for a while. Not leaving SB, just going to lower my carbs a bit more. Wish me luck!

    Of course Good Luck, Sabine...knowing you, you will get this problem resolved...I do hope it works magic to clear up your symptoms.

    Today went like this:

    coffee with skim milk...could not eat breakfast*

    turkey meat sauce with jasmine rice

    apple and cottage cheese

    green smoothie

    turkey meat sauce with added eggplant and whole wheat pasta

    *New job is challenging...two hours sleep last night...total meltdown yesterday...so much crying. Today was better...much better. I have a very caring supervisor who gets that I am so overwhelmed. She broke things down for me a bit...very caring person. I just might be able to do this. In fact, I know I will!

    dinner: grilled andouille sausage with sauerkraut.

    Day 2:
    breakfast: green smoothie with kale/spinach, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 avocado, ginger, turmeric, a few berries, water
    lunch: greek salad (lots of olives) with salmon and pesto/olive oil
    dinner: chicken with skin, some greens

    Day 3 (today):
    breakfast: green smoothie with kale/spinach, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 avocado, ginger, turmeric, a few berries, water
    lunch: will be kale salad with some sort of fish, and oil/vinegar
    dinner: may be out, if so, steak and broccoli, if IN, chicken with skin and broccoli

    Lots of carbs, just no grains and very little fruit. :)
    So far it's working well, I haven't seen changes in my menopausal symptoms, but it's only been a few days.

    Really, that is what I meant. Duh. Hopefully, the elimination of all the grains will help to sweep away those nasty ol symptoms.

    I'm up in the middle of the night...might as well do my menu. Going into work for 3 hours today and tomorrow for training...flying solo next week for the most part...so asked if I could come in.

    egg burrito, carrot orange juice

    tuna salad on lettuce cup (found skipjack tuna at Costco)...

    green smoothie

    meatloaf, grilled veggies

    tea and toast

    Get some sleep!

    Friday turned out almost like I thought, except I had black soybeans (with shrimp and broccoli) for lunch.

    Today: meatloaf for breakfast (yum)
    not sure for lunch,
    and a big big salad for dinner (and Chardonnay). Going out with friends.

    My recipe? Buy a Trader joes meatloaf, scrape off sauce, heat, serve.
    :-)

    I desperately need to learn a meatloaf recipe because I adore meatloaf!

    I could replace the panic with flax meal.... I'll have a look!

    I made a meatloaf. First time ever. And water wok-ed broccoli

    And chardonnay my dear nephew brought in sympathy for the sick pup. Poor little guy.
