No real meal plan today. Just snacked a bit. But I made a purple barely salad with balsamic dressing. Plus, I had a pb&j.
Dinner is a sheet pan meal: roasted polenta, radicchio, fennel, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini w/ a sprinkle of parm.
Do you have a recipe link for your sheet pan meal? The polenta and veggies sounds great!0 -
@Jpedno i don’t really follow recipes very often. I just wing it. I sliced the polenta about a half an inch thick (I buy it in a tube). Drizzle everything with olive oil, sprinkle oregano, salt, pepper and Parmesan. If I have pesto or fresh basil I add that once it’s done. Oven is set to 400 until everything is a bit browned and the radicchio is crispy on the edges.1

Hey everyone! Summer started and I went off-plan for a while. I'm getting back on track, but a sinus infection has had me a bit down for the past few days and I've been reaching for convenient food instead of prepping my usual stuff.

Lunch: Spicy ramen with vegan Korean BBQ dumplings
Dinner: Vegan ham sandwich with half a serving of chips and half an apple

Hey all! Not sure what the day holds but I’ve got a few things planned. Lots of movement: a hike in the woods, some yard work.

B coffee, half and half, plain yogurt w/granola I made

Hi all! Been staying busy lately and today was no different. I spent the day plotting out my next book, starting a structural grammar course, and taking care of my dad, who has a pretty severe sinus infection. I'm pretty proud of my food and activity choices, but I am about six kinds of tired this evening! Hopefully, I'll get a good night's rest and feel energized tomorrow
Breakfast: Coffee and a kale smoothie
Lunch: Spicy ramen and a vegan ham sandwich
Snack 1: Half an apple and an oat milk latte
Dinner: Potato soup
Snack 2: Canned peaches with coconut whipped cream and cinnamon, as well as a well-deserved cup of hot tea
Movement: Swam laps at the apartment pool for about 30 minutes while the house was napping 1 -
Had a bit of a NSV yesterday because I had the keys in my hand and shoes on to go get some fast food and I stopped myself, ate some soup and a sandwich, and felt satisfied.
Yesterday

Lunch: Spicy ramen and a vegan ham sandwich
Dinner: Potato soup and a peanut butter sandwich
Snack: Grapes
Today
Breakfast: Coffee and a kale smoothie

Dinner: Mashed potato bowl with crispy tofu, gravy, and green beans
Snack: Sliced cantaloupe and possibly some grapes1 -
Awesome choices @LenGray! That is a BIG deal!
@azuki84 I also love to get creative with potatoes! I found this good recipe for twice baked potatoes with kale - very tasty (and can work with spinach, etc). I lighten it up with less butter, cheese and sour cream.https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/12/twice-baked-potatoes-with-kale/
I've been staying within my allotted calorie goal and the scale is SO SLOW. But I put on a shirt I have never really worn because it was too tight when it was gifted to me and it fits perfectly now! Even a bit roomy! I couldn't believe it!
B Coffee and half and half
L A little mix of rice, beans, egg, red bell pepper and a tad bit of cheese and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
D Salad pizza! Premade crust, ricotta, parm and garlic for the sauce. Bake and then throw a big serving of greens on top once it's just out of the oven and a drizzle of balsamic. Yum!
S Pizzelle cookies
Movement: I've already put in 4 hours of serous labor and 8000 steps just from walking and I've got another 5 hours of work left but I started a new habit of a 10 minute walk over lunch every day, so I'm going to do that.
Have a great day guys!

Aw, thanks @Kateskate123 I really appreciate that. Also, that salad sounds really good! I'll have to noodle on some ways to veganize it ^_^
Today was a pretty busy errand day, so I'm making a dump-n-bake casserole. Tomorrow, I'll do a bit of meal prepping, so takeout won't be quite so tempting this weekend lol
Breakfast: Coffee and seedy oatmeal with peanut butter and blueberries
Lunch: A vegan ham sandwich and some apple slices
Dinner: Chickpea and rice casserole with barbequed tempeh
Snack: Cantaloupe
Movement: Doing a bit of yoga today 2 -
Morning everyone! The scale hasn't been budging for a while now, so I'm back to the basics today The main thing I'm aiming for is to make the bag of shredded lettuce in my fridge the focus of my meals so I can finish it by the end of the week. I'm also going to be focusing on moving a bit more and building up my stamina.
Breakfast: Coffee and a kale smoothie
Lunch: Sheet pan fajitas with guacamole and hummus
Dinner: Curried chickpeas with peanut sauce, steamed veggies, and rice
Snacks: Grapes and cantaloupe
Movement: Yoga and a walk2 -
Hey all! Sort of living on the fly today. Went to a new vegan/vegetarian restaurant’s soft opening and had a great breakfast burrito! Then a 30 minute walk. Now I’m off to explore with my husband. Not being able to plan my meals and eating out always stresses me out because I’ll tend to overeat or not make great choices. But that burrito was so filling and the walk put me in the right mindset so I’m ready to slay today!
But I’m with you @LenGray the scale is moving so slow.
B breakfast burrito w/egg, avocado, cheese and salsa.
L likely something light, as I’m very full.
D couscous stuffed peppers
Movement: 30 minute walk1 -

Staying on the 'keep it simple' thing so far, and I'm down nearly 2 lbs for the week. Also, I've been looking at my habits and think I have some places where I can 'trigger' mindful activity without disrupting my day, so I'll be trying that going into next week.

Lunch: Tofu fajitas with guacamole, black beans, hummus, and lettuce
Dinner: Chickpea and rice casserole with shredded carrots

L salad w/ toast and cream cheese
D stuffed peppers (didn’t get around to making those yet! Filling is rice, beans and hominy, cheese and tomatoes.

Yesterday I went to a party, so, fell off the healthy wagon a bit. But today I'm back on it!
Breakfast: didn't have
Lunch: Wendy's southwest avocado chicken salad, sour cream and chives baked potato, and black coffee.
Snack: Genius Gourmet chocolate dream keto bar, unsweetened iced tea with lemon
Dinner:
*Avocado toast (2 slices low sodium Ezekiel bread, 1/2 avocado, onion flakes, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper)
*Salad (6oz roast chicken, the other half of the avocado, grape tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, baby carrots, and nutritional yeast)
*Unsweetened iced tea
Dessert: Fiber One birthday cake brownie bar, 4 Simple Mills almond flour double chocolate cookies, and more unsweetened iced tea
Exercise: walked somewhere between 45 and 60 minutes
Totals: 2023 calories, 45% fat, 34% carbs, 21% protein. I'm still deciding what my macros percentages are going to be but I think I might end up aiming for 35% fat, 40% carbs, and 25% protein.0 -
Breakfast:
*Avocado toast (2 slices low sodium Ezekiel bread, 1 avocado, red pepper flakes, black pepper)
*Low-fat plain yogurt mixed with a cut-up peach and vanilla extract
*Unsweetened iced tea
Lunch:
*Sandwich from local pizza place (Whole-wheat wrap with salami, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, tomato, balsamic viniagrette)
*Unsweetened iced green tea from Dunkin' Donuts.
Dinner: (I didn't get to eat dinner until really late so I kept it simple)
*Smoothie (Garden of Life chocolate protein + greens powder, 1 cup unsweetened soy milk, 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1 cup spinach, 1 tbsp cocoa powder). I just got the Garden of Life powder today and I never tried it before. It's really good mixed into the smoothie, even though it's pea protein which I usually dislike.
*2 more slices low sodium Ezekiel bread
*More unsweetened iced tea
Dessert:
*Coconut-date roll
*Orgain vanilla keto collagen powder mixed with water. I normally wouldn't have two protein powders in one day but since I just got these, I wanted to try both. I really did not like this though. It tastes like swimming pool water to me and has a weird greasy texture. I will have to mix it with something next time.
*Fiber One chocolate brownie
*Even more unsweetened iced tea
Exercise: walked 45 minutes
Totals: 2023 calories, 37% fat, 43% carbs, 20% protein. I don't get how I had all this meat and two types of protein powder and still only had 20% protein

Good morning!
Today is another hot, physical day which means I won’t eat much. I just don’t have any sort of appetite when it’s this hot and humid.
B coffee and half and half
L lentil sloppy joes & cucumbers w/ Tajin
D Big Mac salad (homemade - crazy easy)
S grapes and berries
Movement: 6 hours of physical farm labor and weights at the gym
Seeing some progress on the scale but more importantly some of these changes (less meat, movement everyday, not drinking my calories) has really started to feel very natural.0 -
Lunch was a fish
Dinner was curried vegetables with chicken, prawns and samosa
Snack if any as I'm stuffed will be blueberries
