    Need some motivation and some ideas for starting off the week right!

    So far today-
    oats, cooked in water, with brown sugar
    stir fry with pork tenderloin, frozen and fresh veggies/mushrooms, olive oil and soy sauce. Cantaloupe

    Supper will be a baked potato (baked with olive oil), topped with seasoned ground beef, veggies, cheese and salsa-it's a surprisingly good combo!

    And then maybe some seasoned peanuts later one if I'm feeling hungry.

    I had first and second breakfast today because of an early start lol. First breakfast was a whole wheat english muffin with a turkey sausage patty, poached egg, ultra thin slice of cheddar and dab of hot sauce. Second breakfast was a turkey patty with 1 tablespoon bbq sauce, baked red potato with diced onion, serrano and plain yogurt

    Mahi seasoned with Old Bay seasoning and a vegetable medley on the side consisting of zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, onion, and sweet mini peppers for lunch - that's all steaming in parchment packets in my bamboo steamer right now and smells delicious.

    Dinner will be chicken breast stuffed with marinated artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes also maybe a little parmesan, then some asparagus roasted with garlic and either a little pasta with olive oil, garlic and red pepper flake or a sweet potato with serrano peppers and plain yogurt.

    Snack so far is an apple. Will probably find something carby for another snack to make sure I'm not too low there.

    I'm eating my low calorie lunch: 2 oz spinach, 4 oz of chicken, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Next time, I will double the spinach because eating it cooked shrunk it so much! (duh - but tell that to my brain in the morning....). Breakfast was 1 slice whole grain toast with 2 Tbs cream cheese and a latte. snack is yogurt greek yogurt with 1 tsp jam and 1 oz sunflower seeds. Dinner is eggs with butter and toast. I went to a conference and ate, and ate, and ate....

    Everything is actually OK- tasty - but not for more than this week of getting back on track. Just saying....

    I love these topics! Thanks OP
    It's cold and wet out, so I got some turnips, butternut squash, 1 small potato, celery and onion, saved turkey stock, jalapeno, red pepper flakes, cumin, curry powder. I want to make a hot and spicy thick soup! I'm going to try to input it into "recipe builder" by adding in all the ingredients weighed out separately, then divide by 8 ounce cups. I have yet to do this right. grrrrr. But I will do this manually on paper, cuzzzz YUMMMERS. I've made it before, soooo good. Will probably have it with grilled chicken breast and garlic green beans. I can't have squat till i get my first workout in, so I got to get my *kitten* of this MFP and get that down..... "me procrastinating" I love talkin' food stuffs :love:

    Today is a really busy day with little time to cook. Lunch was yogurt and Bran Buds. Not really sure about dinner. I have some leftover roasted chicken, so maybe a chicken and bean burrito.

    You are all inspiring me.

    I ate too many sweets this weekend and am determined to have a healthy day today.

    Breakfast was oatmeal made with unsweetened almond milk and a handful of blueberries.
    Lunch was a giant bed of spinach with 1 hard boiled egg, some herbed goat cheese, a roasted beet and a dressing of olive oil and balsamic.
    Dinner will be homemade chicken curry with basmati rice and a side of bok choy.

    After dinner is my worst time so I bought some peppermint tea today and will have that after dinner to see if that satisfies the cravings for sugar that I get at night.

    So far breakfast was a Nature Valley Protien granola bar, and two large mugs of coffee. First lunch was a low carb wrap with 80g turkey breast and a slice of peper jack cheese, ate early because my usually breakfast was not enough today. Second lunch was a quesadilla made with a low carb wrap, 60 grams of left over pork chop, and 28 grams of shredded cheese ( tasted way better than I thought it would, usually the wraps make terrible quesadillas) and left over coffee chilled with a splash of milk. Dinner will probably be frozen pizza. And I have enough calories left over for a nice snack or adult beverage after I put the kids to bed

    Meatless Monday today. I have a ton of veggies in the fridge so I'll probably make tofu stir-fry for dinner and serve it up with some whole wheat pasta and some cheese.

    @kpk54 - I'll probably make some tweaks to it just because I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like going to the local over-priced, small town grocery store after I get done working as I discovered that I don't have crushed tomatoes in the pantry (have every other type of canned tomato product) and I forgot to buy a jalapeno. Since I'm cutting the recipe by a third, I'll probably sub in a can of rotel for the crushed tomatoes and add a can of hatch green chiles for more spice. Hopefully it turns out as good as it sounds!

    Your supper of chicken piccata reminds me that I haven't made that in a long time and I have several lemons and a large jar of capers on hand (thanks to the Costco run this weekend).

    Cardio and weights right after work so dinner afterward will be Honey Bunches of Oats (need my iron fix) with unsweetened Almond Milk, and a tomato sandwich (Arnold's Sandwich Thin with light mayo). 100 cal bag of kettle corn later for a snack with 16 oz. of Tropicana 50 OJ.

    For breakfast I had an egg and 3 egg whites scrambled over 85 grams of pinto beans and topped with green Hatch Green Chile.

    Lunch is just a hodgepodge of leftover food from the weekend...some cod, chiptole slaw, bean sprouts, half an avocado, and a little honeydew, cucumber, dill, and feta salad. I threw the fish in with the slaw and bean sprouts and made an interesting cold salad...I pretty much always have 1/2 an avocado and the honeydew salad is something I made for our cook out Saturday night and it's awesome.

    Dinner tonight is salmon fillets with sour cream and chive baked potato and broccoli.
