Why does Starbucks have to be so deliciously bad for you.

Oh! You could make some of these tofu bits. They are very portable. I will bring them for lunch with some bottled peanut sauce or orange sauce for dipping. https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/baked-tofu/ This recipe is good and full of plant based protein. It’s great to make ahead. You will have lunch for a few days.…

Hummus, tomato, onion, greens, and a slice of cheese on bread makes an awesome sandwich. Almond butter and sliced banana on a thin bagel is good. Greek yogurt and fruit. Cottage cheese with diced tomato and cucumbers. Make a “snacking” box with various nuts, fruits, and veggies. A smoothie with Greek yogurt, berries, and…

My garden overflowed with radishes and jalapeños this year. My new obsession is quick pickled radishs, red onions, and jalapeño slices. It’s SO GOOD. I can’t stop opening the fridge to munch on it.

I just had major orthopedic surgery. This guy has the most accessible workouts I could find. Many seated options. It helped me. :) https://youtube.com/@DonovanGreenFitness?si=uaayROW1kEqGd9N1

[Hangs head in shame] I never learned how to swim. Sigh I grew up in the middle of a city with no opportunity to learn. I thought of learning to swim and looked for lessons near me. 99.9% of them are for children. The one or two places I found who were willing to teach adults cost $120 an hour. Ouch

Tai Chi is something I have not tried. I will look for groups near me. My job has a free weekly gentle yoga class I attend. I have to modify a lot of poses now but still enjoy the practice. Thank for the suggestion. :) Thanks :)

These are great ideas! I did not think about volunteering at an animal shelter to walk dogs. That sounds like fun. Thanks!

Cut up an apple and sprinkle it with cinnamon. It takes care of my Apple pie cravings. :) Light cottage cheese with chopped cherry tomatoes and cucumbers is wonderful. They sell these wheat rounds at my grocery store that are healthy. I spread a slice of light laughing cow cheese on it. Yum Greek yogurt with any kind of…

Ditto, you are not alone! I am a former "all-or-nothing type" marathon runner that is now obese. A stress fracture of the hip when the stress eating of Coivd hit in early 2020 = 50+ pounds heavier in 2022.
