Dinner tonight was a green salad topped with carne asada, black beans, guacamole, and salsa with my recent obsession, Siete tortilla chips.
Snacks: nectarine, plums, dark chocolate, lemon cucumbers2 -

PAV the dinner looks excellent!
Relax, breathe….you will both have a wonderful time together!
Laurie, I would take the kraut but if you sent me fermented beets ( whatever that is (( shuddering )) ) I would run for the hills!
Nerdy, please do not encourage these two!….lol….2 -
I think they are along the lines of sauerkraut - but you use beets instead of cabbage. Supposed to be really good for your brain (some legit research that something (can't remember what) in the beets is good for your brain circulation.) My brain needs all the help it can get!2

I was thinking of something the other day while I was driving to the drug store and I went to the drive thru at the bank!….2 -
Yep, agreed. Makes me want to burst into a chorus of ABC's The Look of Love...lauriekallis wrote: »What needs to be ready? She will have you!!!! She's not going to run anywhere...she looks as taken as you in that photo!

Relax, enjoy, have fun.3 -
Delicious dinner…..baked pork chops, air fryer fries, cauliflower, and salad…..coffee and fiber one brownie for dessert!2
-
Baked potato and chili at Wendy's for lunch... and the same for dinner!🤷🏻♂️ Plus a Coke Zero/Coke Zero lime combo which was surprisingly good with the dinner one! (Coffee, part of the more than 60oz was still on at lunchtime)! Started the day with tempeh and an egg on a lightly pammed frying pan!1

I wonder who around here... @lauriekallis @Bella_Figura @PAV8888 .... I wonder who of y'all might be early Gen X'ers... or are we like Zoomer wannabes?
Maybe I need a trace of veggies and fruits? Or do the potatoes and the pretend ones in the chili count? I guess they count for SOMETHING, right!?!?!?

Don’t ask me, I am a baby boomer!1
-
I’m an early Gen X (May ‘65).
Yep, you need some rainbow fruits and veggies!2 -
had to double check - I'm an XBoom? March '63
Yes - veggies...fruit...there must be some vegetable matter in the chili? You must keep your self healthy for CCCGG's arrival.

I'm a middle X, born in 71. (So are my partners, '76 and '79.)1
-
Where do you fall on the generational map, PAV?1
-
According to this I'm...both Gen X and Y ('80)?..3

Millennial / Gen Y, 1991. Turning 30 later this year and I don't know any of the songs/artists Bella's quoting 🤔2

Back to the topic of what's for dinner...
Breakfast: A slice of sourdough toast with organic peanut butter and a second slice with butter and marmite
Lunch (post workout): A slice of bread pudding and a vegan protein shake made with coconut milk, frozen banana and frozen berries
Dinner: Homemade chicken dhansak...although my husband mis-read the recipe and added 500g of dried split red lentils rather than the specified 100g....so it became more of a dhal than a dhansak. Anyway, it was delicious....and I have 6 more portions left for my lunches all week. Bonus! We ate it with basmati rice and poppadoms.
I'm quite enjoying this deficit break!

Today was patty melts because we didn't have them yesterday (because I forgot to get the rye bread out of the freezer the night before) and tonight was lamb curry with rice (and saag for those who can eat it) and mini naan breads. That's about all the bread I can handle if I eat curry and rice too, so it's fine. I know your stomach doesn't actually shrink if you eat smaller portions, your cues just change, but I do know that I hit the "Ugh, too much, gonna puke" at about half of what I used to eat. Sometimes I wonder when I'm portioning things out but experience has taught me that yes, that is enough for me. I'm pretty comfortable, by and large.

That is quite the accomplishment, Alexandra. I'm not quite there yet - but I am working on reducing my portions. Even if the calories are low - I don't need an overflowing plate of vegetables!
That being said - tonight is a pizza night for me (which always includes a few extra goodies). Tonight it is planned. Not part of a binge - and that feels pretty good. I figure that planning an occasional refeed or splurge night is appropriate when I'm aiming for a really high deficit most days. Tonight is the night. I'm pretty excited!3 -
It's what I call my no-corset corset diet. (giggle) I like wearing corsets, and have done so off and on for many years so I know quite well how one eats in a corset, and although right now I don't have a corset that fits me, I can still eat as though I'm in one. Not too much liquid around the meal. Small portions.3
-
Sorry, no corset on this body lol…..I did buy a new uplifting bra because my daughter and grand told me I had “ old lady boobs” lol….I am not overly large busted but Boy!…did that bra lift up those babies!…my grandaughter gleefully announced to the entire family that Nannie had her new bra on!2
-
That is a funny thought, Alexandra. I've never worn a corset - but I have worn tight jeans and they are good for the portion awareness! But they always depress me because I feel so fat, which will often lead to me eating too much. It is all so complicated
Good for you, Connie! I'm thinking I need an uplifting bra too! Some birds holding ribbons might help? But, they can be expensive. And since I'm so close to goal I've thought I should wait, because I don't want to spend a whole pile of money on something that isn't going to fit right in a few months. Maybe a Christmas present to me?
Do you feel good wearing it? I'm guessing it probably makes you look slimmer??2 -
Slimmer and younger without droopy boobs!1
-
Someday I will be able to buy a nice bra... (sigh) I see the plastic surgeon next month and I know quite well we won't be planning the surgery immediately, but it will be nice to know whether it's a "We can do it once you recover from the thyroid surgery" or "We'll do it when you've lost the next 60 lbs" or what.2
-
Even if you have a ways to go - perhaps you should buy yourself a nice bra now? It really is such a boost - lol - that double entendre was not intended! - for your spirits!2
