Hmmm.... I admit that I don't know the requirements of "heart healthy" other than perhaps reduced saturated fat and maybe not too much salt, hey! I don't know that Diet pop matters much unless caffeine is an issue. Eggs would depend, I guess, on whether dietary cholesterol affects your personal blood cholesterol and whether it is a problem for you... Sue's (Zinka's) suggestion about a dietitian if the cardiologist/primary doctor agree to refer you would not be terrible.
I would have figured with all your baking that you would have tried pretty much everything and anything! I admit to being surprised a tiny bit by your list! While I do try to "ration" bagels... I do fall for either an everything bagel or the cinnamon raising one... both at Tim Hortons...4 -

Sounds like a balanced, sensible plan to me Connie! Hoping for better news on the horizon for both you and John and keeping everything crossed for good outcomes for you both!4 -
That sounds really good, Connie. I gave up sodas altogether even before I lost weight because I realized they were contributing to my fibromyalgia pain. I drink hot and iced tea for my caffeine hit, and occasionally water with a flavor enhancer in it. We keep iced tea in quart jars in the fridge. Ten jars of tea lasts us about two days, so I am forever making up another couple jars.3

Connie - you epitomize "When the going gets tough the tough get going."
Sorry to read of your experience on Friday - but so happy and impressed to see you here posting! You go, Hot Momma!
What's for supper....hmmm....well last night I overcompensated for an over the top calorie deficit last week. Not enough to eliminate the deficit - but in hindsight (and after finally logging yesterday's food - which I was loathe to do - especially when a entire cake preceded the pizza) - I can see that is what happened. I'm kind proud that I didn't eat all of that pizza I ordered just before the shop closed. Not eating the entire pizza - stopped when I felt physically full is a first. But it did mean that I started today with a breakfast of a 1/4 of a crispy thin crust pizza. That is going to alter today's menu a bit.
So, supper today will be a bunny bountiful salad, with bunny beans (yes - I'm allowing myself up to one bean bunny per day
), field greens, strawberries, cucumbers, grape tomatoes and peppers. Topped with balsamic vinegar and a mighty dollop (75 grams to be exact) of hummus. I'm looking forward to it already! 3 -
So far, so good….I ate breakfast and I didn’t put relish in my tuna at lunch….I did use a T. of light mayonaise but I think a small amount of fat is ok….I figure if the blockage in my heart was life threatening they would have kept me in the hospital!…I am eating lots of rabbits, whoops BUNNIES today….John is still bedridden but I am up and about….3 loads of laundry; washed, folded, and put away, dishwasher unloaded, dog out 3 freaking times this morning, vacuumed and mopped kitchen and bedroom, garbage out, dinner planned, breakfast and lunch cooked and banana bread in the oven baking….sure glad my heart is working SMH!!!…I think I needed this health scare to give me a wake up call and a kick in the *kitten*5

Ha!….I meant to put the above post in Share Your Day….oh well, chicken for dinner!2
-
King prawns with a bowl of veggie rice and a chilli & ginger sauce type thing for tea tonight.2
-
Homemade burger in a homemade bun for dinner...topped with a dry-fried egg. Sorry Connie!
Not a bunny in sight for dinner...2 -
Connie, you're like a woman possessed! If this is the wake-up call you needed, then perhaps your little heart scare will be the making of you!3

I agree!….I have run around today like a wild woman!….I have almost as many steps as I did holiday shopping and I haven’t left the house!4 -
I think that dinner for me tonight may be a pizza that I made and froze beforehand. My feet are giving me ten kinds of grief, and standing enough to make dinner is not in the cards. It's okay and everyone's good with it, because we have things available for this contingency.6

Last night was roasted cabbage, potatoes, and onions with some turkey kielbasa. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the kielbasa. Did it taste the same as the normal beef stuff? No, but it was perfectly good in its own right.
Tonight will be hibachi shrimp bowls with zucchini, onions, and mushrooms. Was supposed to make this last week but didn't for some reason. I don't even remember why now.
I am looking mostly at meals with lots of veggies in order to keep my points (and calories) down but with more food. I find "bowls" do this really well, like the hibachi shrimp or a burrito bowl. Next week I am doing a teriyaki salmon bowl (I get chicken (white meat) and seafood as my 0 point proteins). So a small amount of grains, lots of veggies, and some lean protein. Then add something to bump up the flavor (teriyaki sauce, salsa, light sour cream... whatever matches the theme).4 -

I am slowly getting through my overly stuffed freezer. Once I do so, I plan on filling it with more things that I have pre prepped like you do Alex. Cause those night where I am exhausted or am hurting it can be really hard to stay on track.6 -
Hopefully my feet will behave today. Lunch is supposed to be street tacos, and dinner is to be various combinations of grilled chicken, chopped bacon, alfredo sauce, fettuccini noodles, and steamed broccoli.5
-
Tonight will be one of those sausages I never manage to avoid, little gem potatoes, cauliflower and saurkraut one of my favourite, quickest dinners!
Lunch will be a bunny boosting salad.4 -
@Athijade it sounds like you could post some bunnies! At least 3 to 5, right?
@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I hope paws are all good today! 😉3 -
Tonight is going to be Jumbo King Prawns again ……this time with noodles,I think …..and a homemade- thinking-on- my- feet-soy-gingery-black beany-type sauce.
Will 🐰it up with some 🥦🌶🫑🥕🌽
Yes, I do like a prawn or two, though I do not usually have them for consecutive teas.
I am on a quest clearing out the Freezer, to then de-ice (with a pick axe probably 🥴).
Though I do reckon I must have been a bit OCD filling it, as everything appears to have been filed in groups!
Tomorrow could be prawns again or some other over-iced fishthingummy bob 😂….Meals lately have been quite entertaining!3 -
Our freezers are a mess!….I have a small chest one in the laundry room that the kids are “ suppose” to use and I store my things in the kitchen refrigerator one BUT somehow mine gets filled with their partial bags of veggies, etc….I have it all organized and then someone puts something in it or moves an item and then I can’t find what I want or worse yet my daughter cooks something, doesn’t tell me she used it, I go to get it, and it’s gone!4

Paws are better, but I am being very careful with them because if I try to do everything from yesterday today, I'll annoy them again and I don't like being in pain like that.4
