So glad to see you guys back!!

I went ahead and bought the food processor to help with slicing and dicing the veggies, and I think it’s going to be a good investment. I was able to prep the whole week’s veggies (except the kale) last night and still had strength left in my hands to clean the kitchen last night and clear out the dishwasher this morning, no way that would have happened last week. So, let’s call that a win on the energy conservation side!

The scale has had a couple bouts of goofiness I’m calling out this week— one was after a restaurant meal that I could taste the saltiness of, and sure enough, my weight was up 1.5 pounds the next day, but dropped the day after. Then today, my weight is up a POUND because I ate later than usual last night because I was prepping all those veggies and running some errands. My low weight this week was 251.4 yesterday, and I had a calorie deficit, so logically it would have been lower today, except I’m probably still digesting last night’s dinner. Darned scale is a Lying McLierpants.

I both pulled back on one of the new habits by happenstance this week, and upped my planning game to be gentler to myself (making sure I was planning foods Id eat and actually had time and energy to prep). I also prepped twice yesterday when getting dinner ready, once for last night and a second bowl next to it that I can freeze to go right into the instant pot for a quick meal next week. Twice the outcome for the same work. 😃👍🏼 Those kinds of decisions are making the chaotic feeling subside a bit.
