    I know myself too well to go anywhere advertising all-you-can-eat. Nothing good can come of that!!!

    I will not be going to the buffet on the cruise ship next week. Too much temptation there. The dining room meals are more than enough to deal with.

    I’m wide awake in the middle of the night thinking it might sneak out of bed and grab a few omens from the kitchen. I’m feeling almost saintly 🤣

    Lol… make that almonds. But I really kind of like omens so I won’t go back and edit! I wish to see how this adventure turns out 😁

    Hmmm nighttime omens sounds like it may include some danger of consumption.

    Didn't take fur face out to get sleep....but a bit too full to sleep so wasted opportunity

    Oh well I hope the almonds were good and low in quantity.... and I'm off to bed

    Maybe 7??? 8??? a few rather than a handful. Yesterday was a big walking day and the restaurant we planned on going to for dinner was closed so we ended up stopping at McDonald’s. Vegetarian options are pretty slim. So dinner was an ice cream cone… and a few fries 🙂 part of me knew i needed more nutrition than that!

    I am back to the night-shift life, so I slept til almost 3pm.

    Pre-work meal is a big plate of eggs and egg white scrambled in some non stick spray and half a tablespoon of butter for flavor. No sugar added ketchup on top. Plus 2 big cups of coffee with half and half.

    Work food is small pickles, 2 cheese sticks (colby jack and mozzarella), a pack of zero sugar beef jerky, lemon Greek yogurt, sugar free jello and a Cafe Latte Protein shake.

    Mostly I didn't feel like meal prepping, so this will be my food tomorrow and Thursday too, lol

    Nic -Any chance of work in some fruits and veggies? Perhaps some berries in the yogurt. An apple or orange? Carrot sticks. Just something that doesn’t require prep while you’re doing night shift.

    Berries would be low carb but not necessarily apples or oranges. Celery sticks or cucumbers or broccoli or cauliflower crowns would be less carbs then carrots if I recall correctly from back in the days when family members did Atkins

    My husband did the grocery shopping this weekend and I've been trying to avoid an extra trip to the store, lol. Normally I would have berries or veggies like Cucumber, peppers, cauliflower, etc

    Also, frying the eggs and skipping the sugar-free ketchup today. It tasted like tomato paste, ugh

    I'm jelly that your kid can make chicken parm in the first place... without even taking the measuring and weighing the ingredients for you into account! Definitely awesome kid of the day award!

    Hubby and I celebrated our 49th anniversary yesterday. It was low key because we’re off to Hawaii next week. He made a shrimp and eggs breakfast. I made ricotta and spinach stuffed shells for dinner. Topped off the day with hubby’s cinnamon coffee cake from the freezer.

    everyone quiet here...
    ....
    ....
    I prepared a "carnitas kit", it claims to be about 1500 Cal (3x480 "portions"). I fluffed up the sad portion of included frozen bunnies using the only "low cal" frozen bunnies I could find... some cauli rice. The only other veggies around appear to be the puppy's squash and a couple of bags of higher Cal peas, so no good as add-on veggies. I will have to check on how many cals come from the tortillas as the kit had 264g of tortillas in there....

    Anyway. Best before was end of August... so it HAD to go! :wink: it tastes... ok. Not my first choice for the calories which I guess also highlights how seldom I venture towards Tex-Mex type food :blush:
