Went on vacation for a week, didn't calorie count a thing, and lost 6 pounds. I'm trying to get back into the saddle at home tho.

Garlic and herby pork chops, smashed potatoes, and really meh brussel sprouts.

Since we went out for lunch I wasn't overly hungry this evening so threw a few things on a plate for dinner. Chopped salad w/capers, olives & cherry tomatoes spritzed with olive oil. Some Iberian cured meats. Cottage cheese w/umami seasoning (primarily dried mushrooms). A rare dessert of sliced bananas with dark chocolate hummus and sliced almonds. I saw this hummus in the store and had to try it out. It's a little odd and kind of grainy but tastes like chocolate pudding. It also works with sliced apples.

A friend came over for dinner and we did air fryer Dongbei guo bao ruo and Chinese aubergine salad with rice and incidental roast shallots pulled out of the freezer, followed by chocolate sorbet for dessert.

Red beans with andouille sausage from the freezer plus rice. Chopped salad with capers, olives, campari tomatoes and some cheese spritzed with olive oil. I bought a rather large 32oz jar of capers at costco a few weeks ago so I will be adding them to a lot of things in the coming weeks. The ones I typically buy in the supermarket are only 3.5oz. But it was so much cheaper to buy the larger jar.

Pan fried sea bass, microwave/airfryer smashed potatoes, sauteed spinach. Added a picture of last night's dark chocolate sorbet that I forgot to post.

I'm not really a breakfast or lunch person. But since I started working out, I've been starving in the mornings. This has been by go to for a few days now. 3 oz tuna with a teaspoon of mayo, cold rice and soy sauce, and half an avocado.

janicemlove

Chicken, broccoli, and rice w a bit of butter (I like to cook my rice a little dry).

I call them chicken enchiladas, but they're really wet burritos with cheese melted on them. Chicken, corn and kidney beans today, with cheese and green enchilada sauce.

I cooked with a girlfriend at her place. The intention was to have a dinner party at mine, but given that the other couple have three children under age 5, it was easier just to cook at hers than transport the children. Chinese main of fish/prawn stuffed peppers, aubergine salad, and air fryer tofu with rice. I had been bragging that I discovered that cheese souffle was actually pretty easy in the air fryer so she demanded I demonstrate that as a starter with some salad. Forgot to take a photo of the low fat air fryer cheesecake we did for dessert.

Looks really messy I know! I’ve hurt my back so my husband made himself Nachos last night with all the stuff I cannot fit into calories. 🙄 I was so tempted!

So tonight, I made my version for myself - Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Nachos. All the flavours but a fraction of the calories! Whole messy plate came in at under 500 calories and really hit the Nacho spot! Now I just need to get him to see how it *could* be done since he’s always ‘trying’ to lose weight…but gets nowhere since he won’t acknowledge that I’ve done what he can’t…😂

Still full of carbs, but you can make oil free nachos from corn or wheat tortillas.
