    Lunch: Chicken thigh with roasted root vegs (carrots, mini potatoes, bell pepper, scallions) oven baked together in a cast iron skillet. I love one pot meals like this.

    Total calories for today was 1269, activities today: Cooking, gardening, pool cleaning, 5 minute arm Youtube workout.

    Our main meal is usually lunch. DH and I are both retired and my energy levels seem to be highest in the morning so that's when I enjoy cooking.

    Hawksgirl: Fingers crossed for your pup.

    And Today's...

    B. Oatmeal with Lactaid milk and chopped strawberries.

    L. Home made, batch cooked spaghetti sauce. I make 10 servings at a time and freeze them in 2 servings each, containers). Served over fresh cooked pasta, 1 oz dry weighed per serving. Homemade garlic bread (1 oz piece) on the side. This is a real quick meal to serve.

    D. Turkey burger, half glass lactaid milk.

    Didn't make much effort to get a few veg serving in :/ Also low on protein. 60/78.

    Total calories 1286.

    Did a 30 minute HASfit youtube weight workout with DH today. Shoulders are definitely stronger because of my 5 minute arm workouts. :)

    Thank you @hawksgirl229 🥰 I have actually found being at home all the time really helpful for weight loss and have had some good results in the last few months. Keeping at it!

    Breakfast: chopped salad of lettuce, cucumber, baby bell peppers, tofu, with salt and olive oil. Chunk of toasted sesame sourdough on the side. Cup of tea with oat milk.

    Snack: iced cold brew with oat milk.

    Lunch: vegan dan dan noodles with blanched bok choy. We used Trader Joe’s soy chorizo instead of pork and it turned out great!

    Evening: well we have most of a cheesecake in the house still so a slice of that with blueberry compote and a glass of pinot grigio.

    @donidaily - That cheesecake you've been posting about sounds amaaaaaaaazing! 😭😭 How does a no-bake cheesecake compare with baked?? Never had a no baked one before and I'm super interested now!!

    Breakfast: Leftover Korean marinated chicken thigh with Asian Cole slaw
    Snack: Grande iced cinnamon dolce latte on the way home from getting my car serviced cause the greatest tragedy happened and I ran out of coffee in my apartment yesterday.....
    Lunch: Homemade french onion soup topped with a mix of shredded swiss and parmesan, side of Gardein Italian sausage bites
    Snack: Tried the new NY Style Pizza kettle chips Lays has! Tbh they don't taste like pizza at all, more like a tomato bisque, but still good! 2 frozen homemade cookie dough balls
    Dinner: Sweet and sour chicken fried rice with veggies
    Dessert: If though calories later, strawberry cheesecake Greek yogurt with chopped fresh strawberries.
