Carla, thanks for the welcome (and I know
, I still owe a superwoman photo, LOL)
Mihani, glad to hear the hell weeks are past you, and I hope you can just sit back and chill a bit.
Thanks for the great suggestions. I'll probably be avoiding bread products for at least January, but can use some collard leaves instead. Hummus with veggies is a great idea, and so is the oats. I can bring a baggy full of muesli and just buy some plant milk when I get there to make overnight oatmeal. I do plan on buying a bunch of fresh veggies, tofu and tempeh for quick stir frys, but I'm a terrible cook and rely so much on recipes that I was panicking about next month. You've made it sound so much easier, thank you.

Morning all...thank you for the get-well good wishesI'm off today, but I'm going in tomorrow to try and catch up a little...loads of paperwork. The most I will stay is six hours. 10- 4
...I am doing better...but I still fall apart about 4:30-5...tired, naturally, and just not feeling well...lots of coughing. So I get home about 6:10 and I am in bed by 7.
New Year's Day, going over to my sister's...my niece and her DH and baby girl are here for a week.
Yesterday I got the name of a lady who dog sits while you're away. I met her in person.. a lovely lady, I mean she is a dog person. Anyway, $40 a day per dog. That is so reasonable. She stays at your home. I am so excited because that means I get to go visit my niece in Houston...sometime this year, I am hoping.
Still eating the just egg liquid with spinach in the morning. We have a salad place called Mad Greens...they make a really good vegan salad...Siam I Am! https://www.madgreens.com/I had one this past week, at work. Think I will order again today. After all, I deserve it.
(haha)
As far as my family goes...I am just going to try and no longer stress about it. Wherever they choose to go, I will figure it out without becoming upset or worrying about what I will eat.
Home today...will clean the kitchen, change the linen and do a little laundry. For the most part, take it easy.Stay well everyone, and do make it deeeeeeelicious!

Mihani, how was the General Tso's Jackfruit? We had a very nice visit (didn't spend the night) and the kids loved the VR headset we got them. It is a hit with my brother too.
Excellent news about the potential dog sitter, Nanc.
I'm continuing to get my activity in primarily through the VR headset. I just got a new active game to keep things interesting, called Pistol Whip. It's strange but totally fun. You shoot at and dodge bad guys using Matrix-like moves to avoid getting hit and all while trying to hit the bad guys to the beat of the music.
My step count is only 3500 so far today (about to walk dogs) but I have 76 zone minutes thanks to Pistol Whip and another sweaty Supernatural workout.
My plan for January is to have a smoothie for breakfast and continue with the Plantage meals for dinner. I will add an afternoon snack if I need it. I'm aiming for 6500 plus steps per day since the VR workouts don't add up as much step-wise.

Nanc, that salad sounds awesome! Yum. Don't work too hard and get better woman!
Spring, that all sounds like a great plan and you'll do just fine.
Went to the office this a.m. for about 5 hours. We had 3 clients in today but my boss was there and met with them so it wasn't too much of my time. Spent the rest of it, literally, sorting through all the crap on my desk and dealt with a lot but some I brought home. On the bright side nothing else I have to be in the office for right this second, and won't have to go back until Tuesday.
I am giving up on the WFPB place. I will stop in and grab a couple things I know that I like now and then, but too much of it is WAY too spicy. Like tongue burning painful spicy. I can't rely on it for meals over the long haul. The entree I hoped would be so good last night went in the trash.
So I stopped and got cabbage and kale to make a pot of black eyed peas. I made up the "recipe" years ago and it's so good. Cabbage, kale, black eyed peas, onion, potato, spices, veggie broth. Also got japanese sweet potatoes and lettuce and veggies for salads. Should get me through most of next week.

Carla, we were posting at the same time. See above the entree sucked. LOL
Glad you had a good visit!

ah too bad about the entree & the food generally being too spicy. at least there are a few items there (broccoli salad?) that you enjoyed if you are in a pinch.
Plantage was off for a week, and we have been missing it! We're going to make spaghetti tonight. We pick up our next weeks worth of meals this Tuesday.
