Last week was a hideously stressful week at work, with 5 14+ hour days. This job ends Tuesday and then I have a break until September! So plan to really make use of the down time...but the biggest victory was that I stayed OP last week even with the stress & lack of sleep...though it did mess with the scale, which is holding annoyingly steady. But usually a week like last week would send me straight to the wine & chips without a second's hesitation...so that is a major victory for me!

food prep - rainbow chopped salad for DH and Eggroll in a Bowl for me (super easy and yum, I'll share those recipes in a separate post for anyone who's interested)2 -
Here's the "Eggroll in a Bowl" (otherwise known as "Crack Slaw" because it's so addictive) - this is the recipe as written (except the original also calls for ground beef instead of turkey, but the turkey is SO much healthier and very tasty) but I doctor it a bit in addition to that...I skip the shredded carrots and add an 8oz bag of broccoli slaw or something similar just for some different texture...and also to bulk it up with a bit more veggies. I use coconut aminos to drastically lower the sodium content and so then I'll add an extra tablespoon of that plus more siracha to account for the extra veggies. Since the seasonings basically go in last you can always adjust to your taste. But it's VERY easy, very tasty and very filling! Made my way with the extra veggies it makes 5 servings, 185 calories each.
Eggroll in a Bowl
1 pound 99% fat free ground turkey
1 (16-ounce package) coleslaw mix
1/4 cup (2-ounces) shredded carrots
1/2 Tablespoon (1.5 teaspoons) toasted sesame oil (other oils will work also, but this adds a lot of flavor)
1 onion , chopped
2 cloves garlic , minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3 Tablespoons soy sauce (or Coconut Aminos)
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
2 teaspoons Sriracha (or to taste)
4 Tablespoons chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Place a large wok or skillet on the stove over medium heat.
Add oil. Add onions and saute for about 3 – 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and minced fresh ginger and cook for about one minute, stirring the whole time.
Add the ground turkey to the onions, garlic, and ginger and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up and crumbling it as you stir.
Empty the bag of coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage) and shredded carrots to the ground turkey.
Cook the coleslaw (shredded cabbage and carrots) with the ground turkey until the cabbage is wilted and carrots are softened.
Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, and sriracha and stir.
Garnish the dish with chopped green onions, more sriracha, and sesame seeds. Serve hot!1 -
This recipe for Chopped Mediterranean Rainbow Salad is something my husband loves to take to work for his lunch - which was shocking to me he enjoys a salad this much! It makes four 2 cup servings, and is very healthy but I haven't done the math for the exact calorie count...it's very light and bright and the mix of flavors is great!
Chopped Mediterranean Rainbow Salad
1 large English/hothouse cucumber (so you don't have to peel it)
1 orange or yellow pepper
8 oz grape tomatoes
15 oz can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
2 oz fat-free feta cheese
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp pink or sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Dice cucumber & pepper, and cut the grape tomatoes in half. Mix together in a big bowl and add chick peas and feta. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder & salt. Add to the big bowl and stir to evenly combine. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Enjoy!

JFT Saturday 15th
Only one snack 2 small
Be mindful with food mostly, portion a bit too big
Foot exercises yes
Housework some
Find a blanket or two (planning an indoor den with grandson next week) yes, he's in his den right now
Order bulbs (last day for discount) yes, finally!
I'm not listing a dog walk, as she was limping last night. I'll see how she is in the evening. All my family is away this weekend, so the dog is at mine for a sleepover, it will be a very quiet weekend. Also did a dog walk in the evening, 40 minutes
JFT Monday 17th July
Only one snack
Be mindful with food
Foot exercises
Exercise patience
I weighed myself this morning, it was not good, another 2lbs on. What I'm eating right now is obviously too much, and I need to rein it in. I'll have to start weighing and logging again. Not while grandson is here, but will start on Wednesday. In the meantime I will have smaller portions, already had a smaller breakfast.
Might walk the dog later, but my foot is very painful at the moment, the plantar faciitis is getting worse. I'm trying a new exercise I saw online, desperate to get rid of it.
Have a good week everyone 2 -
Morning everyone (well it's morning here!)
Hope you're all well.
Really want to get back into logging again.
I know I'm doing sort of okay but I can't know for sure without logging. I know that I'm snacking more rather than eating proper meals.
So today Im.up, showered, kids are at school and I've just had some breakfast and brew. And I've folded about 4 bags worth of laundry and still got two to go! Then I gotta put that away.
But...now the kids all have their own set of drawers each, I might just pop the piles on their beds and get them to put them away.
Saskia seems to think I should put the clothes away too.
I've told her that she should have been doing it this whole time, it's just because all their clothes were piled in a built-in cupboard and it was a bit too high for them to access and arrange their clothes properly.
So I told her that I've been doing their clothes as a favour to them, otherwise they would have struggled like hell.
She didn't like that 🤣🤣 she just EXPECTED me to do it. There was nothing more satisfying than telling her it was actually her and her sisters job to put their own clothes away😂
Anyway, gonna log my food today
Exercise??? Well maybe, don't see why not!

I struggle with plantar faciitis as well - changing my shoes has made it totally liveable. There's a brand called Vionic that has great built-in arch support in every sneaker & shoe and they have some reasonably cute styles so you can't really tell - there are other brands that do that too but Vionics seem to hit my arch in just the right spot. Since I began wearing those it has nearly disappeared. My BIL had a very severe case, and began just wearing HOKA sneakers daily - those did it for him. If you haven't already tried it, changing you daily footwear to something meant to add support it will do wonders!!2 -
Stayed strong over the weekend, and met my goals daily. Had great workouts at the pool and the scale finally rewarded me with a big drop! So I'm heading into Week 5 of this new plan feeling energized and motivated!

@littleblackskirt - it’s hard to be losing when you’re in pain for some reason. I am struggling as well.
@Bex953172 - I had this discussion yesterday with our eldest about laundry. I used to put their clothes at the door of their bed and they were supposed to put it away. When I did laundry, the next time I would find folded clothes in it. When they were 12 and 10 I made them start doing their own laundry. I was done! Yesterday, my daughter was complaining about how the Grands don’t put their laundry away…. I just reminded her of her own childhood.
I had a good night Saturday at a camp out at my youngest daughter’s.
I made us all shirts to wear.

@Bex953172 I had to chuckle at the clean laundry story. My kids used to not put theirs away either. I did the same as @Snowflake1968 and they had to start doing their own when they turned about 12 or 13. I used to find their folded clothes in the laundry because they'd throw it in the dirty laundry with the rest of the clothes on their floor! LOL Oh the memories of young kids at home... 😂🤣
@Snowflake1968 Love the photo! Look at all the big smiles! So glad you had a nice time. I love the shirts ~ that's such a true statement. Have to grab those beautiful moments and hang on tight...

Just for today, I am back on the plan, i want to Transform the way I treat myself and think about food.
Posted my breakfast to diary and planned for good choices on a tough day.
Nice avocado and poached egg instead of a plate full of fried foods, a healthier plan for dinner while travelling instead of fast food.3 -

Hahaha makes sense. My bedroom didn't get named the "floordrobe" for no reason 🤣🤣
And omg forgot about the clean laundry in dirty, that was a good trick hahaha I remember doing that.
Although I have the reverse. My kids put dirty stuff in the clean. 🤢 like the don't know where the basket it or something 🤣1 -
Another long day/week ahead. Just going to keep logging my food and trying to drink enough water.
I have to go into the office today, so wish me luck that I can hoist a smile on my face and pretend like I actually like my job 🤣2 -
@PackerFanInGB - you are very welcome! Don't encourage me or you'll find this thread littered with recipes ha ha. I find trying new ones very motivating, though I don't have a lot of time for tremendously complicated ones. I'm a big fan of hungry-girl.com, she's got a lot of recipes that are low calorie, easy & super tasty.
The laundry talk is funny! As soon as we finally moved from an apartment into a house of our own, I instantly made the kids do their own laundry (they were 16 and 12.) It was such a LUXURY to me to be able to do laundry any old time you pleased, and not have to get up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday to beat the rush to the apartment building laundry room that only had 3 washers! They also learned to cook for themselves early too, since we all had these radically different schedules and I often didn't get home until 9pm. So funny when they went to college and they came back and said so many students were so helpless, they've never done their own laundry before!!
So you can tell them you're actually doing them a favor in life. 
Made all my goals for yesterday - I'm on a roll! May skip the workout today, I'm pretty sore....

Hoping on for a quick hello to you all!!
I've been struggling also with logging my food .. why is it that this is so hard to do! I think of it at the end of the day .. and then I'm too tired to do it. So as a result.. the scale is just staying the same. Which I guess is good... but I want it to go down.. not maintain!!
Hubby got his PET scan results.. and they could not detect cancer. So that was a wonderful thing. His doctor did say something was going on.. so they'll do another blood test in 3 months, and if his PSA numbers continue to climb.. then another PET scan. He felt the cancer was there .. just not enough to detect in the scan.
So hubby is very happy he doesn't have to start treatment and hormone shots again. SO that means when our grandson comes .. he should be feeling good. Ha.. in fact he has more energy than me! His doctor increased his thyroid medication.. and I tell him I'm going to take his pills away! He is up before I am now.. and going going going! But it is nice to see him feeling so much better .. he has always been so tired all the time. Ha.. now if I could just get some of that thyroid meds!
Our grandson is coming Aug 1-8 so we are super excited. We have things planned for most days. He is 14 .. so it will be fun memories, and we can't wait. Unlike you with grandchildren around all the time.. we only see them a few times a year.
I had to laugh with the talk about kids doing laundry. I so agree... teach them young to do those things. That is something I never did until later, and I regret that. My kids didn't start doing their own laundry until 14 and 16.. and that was when I went to care for my mother in Iowa, and hubby was with the kids alone for 7 weeks. He made them do their own laundry, and put it away. But I so agree with so many... start them young. There is a youtube channel I love.. called CookingWithSammy.This mother has 5 kids .. all under the age of 8. These little kids are unbelievable.. they cook, clean, work in the garden. The most fun is watching these little ones cook. Even the 4 year old can cut up potatoes, onions, etc. and cook. The mother has a lot of the food measured out so they just dump.. but they are adorable to watch, and what skills they are learning at a young age. So .. I'm like .. if only I could go back, thats what I regret and would do more of!
Well.... heading back to sewing. I have 5 more quilts for the kids almost finished.. then going to stop and do something else.. ha.. like make hero capes for little ones in the hospitals. I may regret this . as its sewing with satin.. but figured I would give it a try. Someone gave me 4 totes of beautiful satin.. and don't know what to do with them other than the capes.
You all have a great day.
