    Yesterday was:

    Breakfast - chocolate chia pudding, coffee
    Lunch - homemade tuna melt, baby carrots and a smoothie made with coconut milk, LOTS Of strawberries & hemp protein powder.
    Dinner - steamed cauliflower, BBQ tofu, and a little leftover fried rice with veggies & edamame. Later, a McDonald's hot fudge sundae with nuts (my mom and I were both randomly craving this and I hadn't had one in a decade).

    Today will very likely be:

    Breakfast - coconut Greek yogurt, coffee
    Lunch - 1/2 portion chicken fried steak with gravy, green beans & salad for sides
    Dinner - salad with chopped zucchini and cabbage, red onion, grilled shrimp and a mixture of sriracha, chili sauce & mayo as dressing. Mug of coffee and a few chocolate-covered espresso beans.

    WOW! It's amazing how things work. I was JUST thinking about chicken fried steak last week. I haven't had chicken fried steak in YEARS and why I thought about it I don't know...then here you go posting you had chicken fried steak, how wonderful (full of wonder) and amazing to me. Was it delicious? I'm going to have some soon.

    Also, you having that McDonald's sundae, after not having it in years and your "randomly" craving it. The exact same thing happened to me a couple of weeks or so ago about their vanilla ice cream cones. It's now one of my favorite desserts and I hadn't had one in YEARS! As per always, I LOVE the way you eat!

    Thanks!! I really liked the chicken fried steak - it's from a place right by my house and I love that they have 1/2 servings so I don't go too crazy but still get in plenty of deliciousness. We're about to embark on a hike now (a couple hours after lunch) and I feel very well-fueled, haha.

    That McDonald's sundae craving was strange! I was at my mom's house helping her out and we thought we would get frozen yogurt cones, but when it was time to turn left or right I said, "Or how about a McDonald's sundae?" (because it sounded good too) and she squealed that she was JUST thinking of those earlier in the day, and hadn't had one in a year or two herself. Around 2006 or so, we used to get them regularly and it was always a mom-and-me outing because our respective husbands thought they were too small and blah. Kinda funny!
