Did the air fried croquettes again. Fish balls with salmon, mashed potatoes, egg and seasoning. The other with mashed potatoes, egg, sage and pecorino. I meant to add prosciutto but forgot! All balls rolled in gluten free panko (Ian's Italian Panko). I got much better color this time around so I think I've got the timing…

My partner tried to order our "free" test kits but because we use a UPS Store for our mail he got caught up in the "somebody already ordered from that address" mess. I hope they fix it soon. I read somewhere that if you put your Suite/Apt/Box number on the first line it will help though probably as soon as someone else…

I'm one who has gone from once a week, daily, twice a week, back to daily and more recently sporadically. I think it really depends on how much it effects you and what your goals are. When I did it monthly I was looking for patterns based on exercise and diet. For my lifestyle weighing on Friday and Monday or Tuesday is…

Pass Day #1 ... lack of exercise though so far I've tracked everything and have plenty of calories left for a late evening snack. I had to get up early and had only two hours sleep so wasn't feeling fit for exercise. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Lamb patty and tri-color pearl couscous w/cherry tomatoes, cucumber, mint, basil and olive oil. Topped with pan fried halloumi cheese. First time I bought halloumi though I'm pretty sure I've had it in restaurants before. We liked the toasted flavor that frying gave it but next time we'll try it on the grill.

Last nights dinner: Cabbage and shredded chicken sautéed in toasted sesame oil with black rice. Rice topped with rice seasoning and ponzu. Chicken/cabbage topped with togoroshi, black sesame seeds and more ponzu. Chicken simmered in water with five spice powder, garlic and seasoning. My partner wondered why there were no…

January goal: < 120 Joining a little late this month. Same goal as the last few months. 07 - 121.2 18 - 121.5 Struggling to lose at this point. I'm eating the same low cals I always eat but my exercise has been curtailed significantly due to joint pains which always crop up in the winter cold. I need to work through it a…

When I first started UAC I thought it would be quite easy to get to the Winner's Circle. Ha! I think I've only been there 3-4 times at most. Too lazy to go check. But's it's not actually easy at all especially when one has stuff going on whether illness, physical limitations or personal issues. But I also don't let it…

@MissMay You are a great steward of this monthly group. I appreciate the regular participants here because it is such an encouraging space. Yesterday I made a double mojito mocktail (aka as nojito) using this recipe as a guide: https://www.culinaryhill.com/mojito-mocktail-recipe I used simple syrup rather than sugar. I do…

Mussels in white wine sauce over black (soy) bean spaghetti. Lemon parm chopped salad. The spaghetti is one of the many gluten free pastas I've tried over the last year and a half. At first I didn't like it that much but it's starting to grow on me.

We went out for sushi last night so I shared a Sapporo beer and some nigori sake with my partner. I am planning to be AF tonight and until at least next Friday. I'm at the point of my weight loss where I'm at the high end of my healthy range but want to get to the low range because of my particular body type. Even when…

Went out to a sushi restaurant. Jalapeño poppers, gyoza, nigiri sushi (albacore, shrimp, salmon, eel, scallop, tuna and yellowtail), Sapporo beer and nigori sake.

Track: yes Calories: yes Exercise: yes* Lower Body Dumbbells ~25 mins Pass Days: 0/0 I don't do much meal prep. When I still worked in an actual office my partner and I always took breakfast and lunch to work as we both left rather early to beat the awful traffic. At that time I would often make a weeks worth of breakfast…

Adzuki bean chili con carne with rice. Chili topped with chai fontal cheese which worked because I used the Mexican seasoning that I made a while back which has allspice in it and the fragrance shows up in the chili. I don't believe I've ever had adzuki beans before but I won't be getting them again. I'm a bit picky about…

I've been reading "everyone will eventually get it" for a couple of weeks now. I'm still hoping not to. I already tend to have multi-month upper respiratory problems in the winter but didn't last winter and so far haven't this winter. Probably because I've been masked up all winter. @ahoy_m8 wasn't it one of your DDs that…

Argentinean red shrimp, amaranth w/pecorino and salad of Persian cucumber, cherry tomato, Kalamata olives spritzed with olive oil. When my partner grated the pecorino he included some of the edible rind but it doesn't melt and tends to clump which doesn't look all that attractive especially since amaranth tends to turn…

Yeah, even though I haven't lost all my strength gains from my EPIC II break I can tell I lost some but it was the ones I had made in only the last two weeks of the EPIC I program. Good to know that I'll regain them more quickly when I return to it. I'm still doing some upper body weights a couple of times a week so that…

@roma7774 I second EPIC. It's a wonderful program. EPIC creator Carolin Girvan is the best trainer ever in my book. So positive and doesn't make you feel like a weakling when you need to take a rest because she does sometimes too. I finished EPIC I and started EPIC II though I'm taking a break from it at the moment because…

A virgin Bloody Mary would work for me too since my favorite part of the drink are the garnishes ... usually olives and bacon since those are the type I tend to order. Two cocktails on Friday and a couple of Negra Modelo beers yesterday since we got Mexican take out. AF today. Like last week I don't intend to have anything…
