Hey TBBT!! Guess what day it is !? Mike-mike-mike-mike...ActuallyNo it’s not hump day! It IS however... time to get those juices flowin and to start sharin! 😊 Every now and again we like to start up a side conversation to keep up the engagement within our team. We call it a Weekly Roundtable Discussion or WRD.
This week id like to turn to food ...in a good way though! What are your go-tos while dieting? What do you find necessary to keep out of the house or in the house to keep you on track? What do you meal prep? If your not losing right now and you’re still here so that you don’t go completely off the rails(obviously I know that feeling), that’s ok! For you, I’m asking if you could “remember when you lost a ton of weight?” and share... what were your go to foods!?
I prep my lunches. On Sunday I grill a package of chicken breast and that and a salad is my lunch each day. I don't have a "go to" food but I definitely have to keep vinegar chips out of the house. I had some on Monday and am still feeling the effects. :-0 Teleworking is definitely not good for me. At the office I can stay away from the snacks, and if I do cave it's only a single serving. Having access to a fully stocked pantry with full size bags has been my downfall. Waiting for the weather to (finally) warm up so that I can get back on my bike.3 -
WRD
I don’t really have a go-to food. For me, it’s all about portions, I try to limit sugar and empty carbs, but otherwise I just try to keep my quantity small enough to stay in my calorie budget.
My go to snack is chocolate chips. Ghiradelli makes milk chocolate chips that are delicious. And 16 of them is only 70 calories. So I’ll count them out, put them on the freezer for a bit and then enjoy. They take longer to melt when chilled so i get to enjoy that chocolate goodness for quite awhile. And again - only 70 calories ❤️3 -
Way to go @cmhubbard92, @GuessimGryffindor, @Krysless2 and the rest of the on your excellent losses!3

Here are some things that I often eat:
Breakfast: 1 egg w/ cheddar cheese (or) Quaker Oats w/ blueberries and raspberries and a tablespoon of honey (or) a banana w/ 2 pieces of toast and peanut butter (this one doesn't fill me up as much)
Lunch: I currently like the Costco protein shakes in chocolate; otherwise I often have a sandwich.
Dinner: We usually have some kind of meat or fish, and when we're trying our hardest have cauliflower rice or polenta instead of pasta, potatoes or rice. We usually try to have 1-2 vegetables, such as roasted cauliflower or Brussel sprouts.
My go-to Dinner is Giada's Salmon Baked in Foil: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/salmon-baked-in-foil-recipe-1914818
Snacks: These are my downfall, so I am going to try to eat more fruits and vegetables and the 100-calorie Pop Secret popcorn. A special treat are Yasso bars, especially fudge brownie. I just have to limit it to one package in the refrigerator.
I blew it on tracking for the MUAC yesterday; sorry.3 -

Thank you for the link. I eat a lot of salmon. I have been looking for some new ways to cook it. I usually cook it on a foil pack with either teriyaki, or cilantro butter (dill is also good). Yesterday I made a ginger and red pepper flake butter.2 -
I made a mistake on the MUAC results post.
Christine (@cmhubbard92 )only had 6 days but the last day she was only 100 calories over. With all the calories she is under throughout the week it is an awesome job and with 6 days she is still in the Winner's Circle.
Christine, you are doing fantastic.
@brandi_84 thanks hun! I am sorry about yesterday's double post... I thought it force closed and never posted!0 -

Scale Check!
(Note- There are 5 weeks in May so if like me, your goal is to also lose 2 lbs a week then you are in a good position to lose 10lbs in one month! That paints such a sweet picture for me personally because that would mean I’ll be able to see a 14x.xx on the scale before June!) 😍😍

So I'm still having a hard time. I was all ready to get back on track but on Monday I was pulling weeds in my yard for a while and my back was achy all day. During the night our dumpster got blown over so Tuesday I was picking up all the trash and I completely threw my back out! So I have been useless ever since. Because my brain is a mess I somehow think "Since I can't exercise for a stress reliever I'm going to binge for a stress reliever." I've been doing stretches for my back and it's getting better slowly, hopefully its back to normal soon!3 -

Not my best week. I didn't log much, and this was the result. I'll have to do better next week if I want to see the 140's by the end of May1
