LOL Carla... good April Fool's joke. Happy salad chomping.

Another busy day and I need to get up to my desk and get some more work done before I turn in. I think I'm going to have to get over my aversion to morning workouts because I never know how long I'm going to be in the office and I am tired and hungry when I get home late. I'll give it a try in the morning.

Today was good...
B - oats with the usual additions
L - lara bar and an apple
D - big ol' salad (red and green leaf, beet, carrot, radish, celery, tomato, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, braggs & spicy brown mustard, some spices)

This may be my menu for the whole week. Not going to have much time to think about any other cooking.

Morning all...my weekend...enjoying a cuppa right now. I ordered ETL paperback and it just arrived the ... I did order two cookbooks, kindle edition. So, I am slowly getting into this.

Today

black coffee
1/2 c dry GF oatmeal ...1T flaxseed, banana, berries, soy milk
cuties
HUGE Massaged Kale salad with red onion, avocado, red bell pepper strips, 1 oz sunflower seeds, 2T raisins, Nutritional yeast, juice of one whole lemon
Veggie soup with rice ramen
Banana choc ice cream

HI all,

Magic thanks for sharing the videos. I will have a chance to watch them tonight, since my husband is out of town.

Just made this recipe for the first time. Haven't had a quesadilla in a long time but now will add to my rotation. Instead of cheese I used tahinni dressing that I had on hand instead. Also, could you make a nut cheese.

Doing well with ETL this week despite a lot of stress at work. I haven't been 6 week plan strict but I have avoided the pretzels and crackers that often tempt me when I'm tired and stressed at the office. The few times I decided I really wanted a snack I had a brown rice cake with a little sunflower seed butter and/or fruit. Other than that lots of GBOMBS.

Hi Austin, I bookmarked that recipe for the pickled carrots before but haven't had a chance to give it a try yet. It sounds great. I have made the Hello Nutritarian cheese sauce. It's okay but much thinner than I thought it would be. I was thinking about adding a bit of arrowroot powder to it next time. I actually bought her Power Prep plan a couple years ago and got the more recent version free because I had the old version, but I've never tried doing the whole week prep yet since I'm mostly working 7 days a week these days. I've tried a few of the recipes though, that's where I got the pickled onions idea.

I am heading back to the office again today. Sigh. But I did make it to the grocery yesterday and will do some cooking and prepping tonight. Salad bar, OSG French lentil stew, cabbage and kale casserole, roasted broccoli and asparagus, sauteed green beans and peppers, a couple salad dressings/sauces. I'm going to try pickling some red cabbage this week in addition to the usual onion.

Noticing Wanting Doing and Liking...already have this guy on and am listening to him, Ausin.

James Clear. I love this kind of stuff...BIG THANKS!

I am trying the cabbage raw Austin... just getting to making that tonight actually. I also want to try it with radishes.

Magic, I like the Q&E cookbook better than the first one too.

I admit I'm struggling a bit the past week. Had a handful of pretzels at work today, but other than that has been a good ETL day and I got the GBOMBS. The next week is going to continue to be crazy with work and then maybe I can take a weekend off after the 15th. Won't that be nice!

Hi gang!

I am having a good ETL day.

B - smoothie (spinach, blueberry, flax seed, coffee)
L - steamed greens and chickpeas/garbanzo beans, with nooch, pickled red onion, chopped roma tomato; fresh juice (beet, carrot, red cabbage, zucchini, ginger, lime)
D - big salad, steamed mushrooms, cauli-spinach mash

Side note: I can't remember if I have recommended this Penne Pasta Florentine. My son and husband both enjoy it.

Hello! Still a lot of pressure going on with work and putting in crazy long hours. I will be in the office all weekend but next weekend I am going to try to stay away from there.

I've heard of the Atomic Habits thing. Haven't looked into it though.

Past couple days have been salads, oatmeal, and pretzels and rice cakes. I'll get it together this weekend and going to start back to 6 week plan strict.

Hi Magic, I'm going to start back to 6 week plan strict today. I think you mentioned you just got Dr. F's book so you'll learn more when you read that, but the basics of the 6 week plan are outlined in the announcements in this group and Terri posted a helpful list from the Nutritarian Handbook as well. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10014693/nutritarian-guidelines#latest

I'm heading to the office. Fun never ends!
