@cherie8525 Congratulations on your huge accomplishment!
For years my favorite way to eat veggies was to steam them and add my homemade salsa on top. I eventually got tired of it. I enjoy making big salads most days with mixed greens, cucumber, lots of tomato, sometimes red pepper, croutons ( which I crush so it seems like more flavor throughout the salad) and 2 tablespoons of Bolthouse cucumber ranch dressing. I’m taking a break from balsamic vinaigrette even though the olive oil helps you absorb the nutrients. I LOVE baked sweet potatoes made in the air fryer and also sautéed zucchini, squash, onion combo.

I love soups and make lots of different varieties in my instant pot or on the stove top. I use many vegetables in the soups and rarely throw any veggies away any more! I include quite a few that my family doesn’t normally prefer, but they love when included in a soup: leeks, kale, turnip, mushrooms, parsnips, etc. I also love to sauté veggies in my wok basket on the barbeque, and got an air fryer earlier in the summer that has been a godsend for roasting vegetables with minimal oil while keeping the house cool.
1. Tracked it all ✅
2. Kept within calorie limit? ✅
3. Moved for 20 minutes or more? ✅ Walking (shin splints are better!) and lots of stretching.
My immune system is going a wee bit wild in response to the third vaccine, but I have had two amazing nights of sleep in a row (plus a long nap this afternoon as I was wiped).
Fingers crossed tomorrow will be kinder.

Hello!
@cherie8525 Congratulations!
Pumpkin spice season started already so I have been enjoying a lot of butternut squash lately. I season them with ginger, cinnamon or pumpkin spice, cumin, brown sugar but the erythritol kind, salt, cooking spray ghee flavor, and sometimes I'll add a tiny bit of cayenne pepper too. I'll put them in the microwave just for a few minutes to start making them soft ( basically to speed up the process) and then I put them in the air fryer. These are so good, it's almost like a dessert.

Day 9: EPIC I - Full Body Workout with Dumbbells - No Repeat (+ cool down): 63 mins
Apple rings closed: 17/30
Passes used: 2/3 (1sep) (4sep)
Day 9 of EPIC was phenomenal. At the 80% mark I was drained but kept going. I felt so warn out at the end but at the same time high. When I was young and far more active I got that adrenaline high but in my more mature years it doesn't happen very often. Today it did. I don't think I've ever in my life looked forward to the next workout so much as with EPIC. Highly recommended if you are looking for a new workout.
I still had some things I couldn't do (mostly due to lack of dexterity) so I had to modify. But some things I struggled with two weeks ago I'm able to do now more easily. Yesterday I started looking ahead at the future days and in reading comments for day 50 some people said their knee pain disappeared by the end of 10 weeks. I would be ecstatic if that happened to me. I have noticed that my right knee isn't having much pain lately while the left one which is more problematic seems to be slightly improved so I'm hopeful.7 -

For exercise I count packing, car loading, unloading, unpacking, 6 hours driving. Sometimes 60 km/h, mostly 130-150. It is pretty stressful. I believe it is fair to count all those activities as an exercise 😉7 -

Another pass day, for 6/4. Wednesday's pass day just rolled over into Thursday, as I got home late on Wednesday and didn't plan my meals for Thursday, and then decided to eat restaurant leftovers and takeout. But I actually did make reasonable choices with those things, though I didn't track them, and I did exercise, so heading towards back on track. And I did plan for today.
I love veggies! And I love all your veggie inspiration. We have somewhat a rhythm of it with the seasons. We try to eat locally in the summer- we have a small garden and a Community Supported Agriculture Share and frequent farm stands and farmers markets. We're having the last gasp of that now and savoring it. In the winter we do more frozen fruits and veggies (much more convenient) and also tropical things (bananas, mangoes) that we try to skip in the summer when local food is abundant. My wife does most of the real cooking. In the summer she grills once a week and in the winter she roasts once a week. In each case making up a big batch of veggies that I eat on all week. My usual is one salad a day and one meal of (usually leftover from the big batch) cooked veg or soup, both along with a protein. I try to have some small amount of carby veg too, or quinoa or bread. Last winter I was also doing daily harvest frozen veggie meals (caution - if you search that, the ads will follow you forever), which I liked pretty well but got sick of by the spring.5 -

September 17
A change in routine today due our range going out. So I took an extra long morning walk assuming my afternoon could be busy. It was. While it was nice to get it all sorted out in one day (including shopping for a new range and hood), we have to wait 4 weeks until it can all be installed (part of that is due to needing a new electric receptacle installed). I was unable to do a strength workout amid all that so I am missing one of my additional goals today, but that's OK.
