Or an angel incarnate, Alexandra3

I'm really getting tired of chicken noodles and want to try eating a hamburger tomorrow. I may well be able to. I'm way less sore.3

My last post up there was supposed to read...
You are an angel incarnate, Alexandra.
🙂3 -
I'm one of those people who tend to "do" their love rather than say it. I've learnt to say it, but I'm still way more comfortable with doing.2

Kind of lost it today because I’m tired. Insomnia. Rather than nap I tried to keep busy doing housework and laundry.
Anyway, tiredness resulted in grab and go eating anything and everything. I just could not get it together to plan, prepare and eat a decent afternoon meal. There were chips, cookies, coco puffs, granola bar .... I did eat yogurt, fruit and an egg at breakfast so at least that meal was okay.
Hoping for some rest sleep and a better day tomorrow.2 -
yup. Sleep does me in. But do I learn? Of course I don't!!!!!2
-
Don't feel bad. TOM is hovering around so I nuked and ate an extra chicken patty because I was ravenous for protein. I feel better now, but I didn't really need to eat an extra meal today. (sigh)
But tomorrow is another day.2 -
Did okay today -except for the ice cream which was in deficit allotment. There was a large salad earlier and a low fat crustless quiche later.
Tomorrow hubby is making posole with chicken. I’ll have to weigh that out cause it’s chickpeas too. I’m guessing it will be a small bowl for me.2 -
Chickpeas are expensive (so if corn) when it comes to calories--as far as I'm concerned. Healthy choice frozen yogurt (strawberry vanilla and blueberry vanilla at 100Cal each).... I think they're a good deal!!!😹1
-
Oops - posole is made with hominy not chickpeas (garbanzos). Hominy is 120 calories per cup. I still have to do mucho math to figure out cals for the final product.2
-
I kind like hominy - not always easy to find around here. I don't mind the calorie count - it leaves me feeling pretty satisified (and entertained since it is novel in this area).
Tonight's supper is ... I think ... one of those "forbidden" veggie sausages and maybe some little potatoes and salad.0 -
Well, hominy and shredded chicken - meh - it just says winter meal to me. There was a salad to save the meal. But hubby made it and enjoyed it so there’s that. 😋
I think it will be cereal (Rice Krispies) and yogurt tonight.0 -
Hey Google, what the *kittens* is a "hominy"?
NOT KHOMEINI Google, HOMINY.
NOT.....
UGH, GOOGLE, I HATE YOU!
You know Laurie: I've never asked. What is the name, rank, and serial number of these forbidden veggie sausages you clearly do NOT enjoy?0 -
Hominy (Spanish: maíz molido; literally meaning "milled corn") is a food produced from dried maize (corn) kernels that have been treated with an alkali, in a process called nixtamalization (nextamalli is the Nahuatl word for "hominy").

oh beautiful hominy ... mmmmm
Yves mediterranean harissa sausage
They would go so well together!

Fish tacos today. I’m using the low carb tortillas (50 cal) and cooked shrimp. Hubby and some using breaded air fried fish. Some vinegar based coleslaw. Might be some lettuce and tomatoes on the side too.2
-
Tonight they are having beef and bean enchiladas. I'll get the enchiladas in the oven about three and they'll be ready around five. I have no idea what I will have but I am dealing with a lot of exhaustion (TOM) and I can work it out when I get to that point. If need be I have chicken noodles I can thaw out.2
-
Laurie the sausages go great with tri-colour or cauli rice or a nice tomato based sauce for zoodles or beet-els
the Corn stuff has more calories 0 -
The hominy is too hard to find around here to be any kind of real option...my go to with those little sausage babies is jewel potatoes and saurkraut

Dinner at friends yesterday. Managed to work around the dinner without too much damage.
Today we’re having a cold tuna and cannelini bean salad. It’s usually made with tuna in oil but I’ve used water packed tuna.
Cold food for another very hot day! But it’s supposed to actually rain tomorrow and low 90s all week. Woohoo 🥳!2 -
I prefer the option to add high quality olive oil (or no oils) and how much vs the default industrial oils used in oil packed fish. So it has been water pecked for years now! Bet you could add cucumber and onions to that!!!!0

I added onion, roasted red peppers, and a good blob of hot roasted hatch chilies. I did add a little good olive oil. But just can’t do the tuna packed in oil. Might make this with shrimp or tutti di mare.0 -
Unbelievable how nicely Calories can add up if you're randomly moving along.
First off, in spite of numbers consumed, it was still a deficit day as it was fairly active playing box Tetris and avoid the falling chair in a little u-box from u-haul.
But a breakfast, light lunch, snack and dinner.... without really stopping to eat... straight to just over 3k calories!
2 egg McMuffin (yes, they're on special). 3 slices of medium pizza (360g). A cliff bar. Some cheese, two wasa and 3 bunnies of tomato. And a Tim Horton chili (with bun).
Doesn't sound as innocent spelled out. But I had to go back and look at it to figure out why calories were so high given I didn't recall any memorable eating!!!1 -
Had a carne asada wrap for lunch, and will be doing cheese and chicken quesadillas for dinner. I used to regularly do these on Mondays for lunch, but I know that Boyfriend was missing them, so I moved it to Sunday evening instead. They also are something where if we decide to do something else, it's all freezer/shelf stable ingredients, so no problem.1

They do add up! I looked at that and realized how I've dropped my portions, as I would probably get close to too full sensation eating one egg Mcmuffin. (shakes head) Sometimes you suddenly realize how much you've changed things.2 -
Breakfast was a homemade rhubarb, banana, raspberry and greek yoghurt smoothie
Lunch was homemade houmous with a huge salad
Dinner was grilled gammon steak, boiled Jersey Royals and a ton of veggies (broccoli, carrot, green beans and peas).
It feels good to get some vitamins in after my week of eating cake and drinking cider.
First turbo ride tonight in over a week too...a 90 minute group ride starting at 9pm...
Yay, back on track!2 -
Had to do some Googling! I don’t think we have Jersey Royal potatoes. Gammon steak is what we’d call ham steak but needs cooking? It sounds like a wonderful meal. Better for you than cake and cider.
Happy for you getting back on track immediately. 👍3 -
Yep, a gammon steak is usually grilled...it's a staple of pub menus, where it's usually served with chips and a fried egg on top...or grilled pineapple (yuk) in place of the egg. Peas if you're very lucky and it's a posh pub!
Jersey Royals are the king of new potatoes. Grown only on the tiny island of Jersey in the English channel. An exquisite flavour, and only available for a few short months in late spring and early summer. Like ambrosia when you add a knob of butter, but still good even when just boiled and served hot or cold.

Mangoes were on sale 3 for 99 cents this week. So there were fresh mangoes 🥭 at breakfast and a snack later. Have to get some more before the sale ends.
I admit to liking grilled pineapple but it has to be fresh not canned.0 -
I like fresh pineapple (either raw or grilled) but I don't like it in combination with anything savoury. IMHO it should be eaten on its own, with other fresh fruit or with ice-cream. Nothing else.
Putting pineapple on a pizza is an abomination.
Mmmmm mangoes. Now that's something worth buying on sale!0
