For this week: Lunch: Sandwiches (ham or chicken salad) with lettuce, tomato, and pickles (or some combo of). Side of chips. Dinner: Currently finishing off tacos and mexican rice. Making some peanut noodles with tofu tomorrow and will have that a couple days. Then Friday will be cleaning out the fridge or something from…

I am horrible about the rotation aspect lol. Which just means I SHOULD be eating out of the stock better. So going to make that a big aim. Maybe just go to the store for fresh fruit if needed or a couple items to fill things out. Especially for like lunches.

I don't see the problem… cholesterol and fat are not some evil boogie men that are going to keep you from being healthy.

Not diet related (well, kinda is) and not really a little bump but… So I survived layoffs only to now be faced with possible stop work orders if Congress can't figure their *kitten* out and pass a budget or continued resolution. If the government shuts down, then projects will be stopped during that time. Luckily I was…

So I survived to layoffs only to now be faced with possible stop work orders if Congress can't figure their *kitten* out and pass a budget or continued resolution. If the government shuts down, then projects will be stopped during that time. Luckily I was able to stock up this week grocery wise (yay for a rebate visa card from…

Got good news! I did not get caught up in the layoffs my company had. So I still have a job for now.

Today I logged. Even though I ended up a little over. I could have just skipped it, said to heck with it, but I didn't.

Today I (well, yesterday lol), Ate all meals at home Took a short walk Drank more water

I now have an actual goal in order to lose some of this weight for. Fall 2027 I want to be down 50 or so lbs. Why that date? My friend and I are going to Disney World and Universal Orlando for a big 10 day trip to hit every single park at both. However, Universal is not friendly for bigger people. I almost couldn't ride a…

It is so good to see everyone! The first thing I thought when I decided to try MFP again was that I had to check on my LL peeps. So far things have been going okay. I have walked pretty much every day at least 15 minutes (it was really cold again Saturday lol). I did not log yesterday and ended up eating a whole pizza, but…

Tonight I am making some greek falafel bowls. Rice, mixed greens, falafel, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta, and tzatziki. Trying to keep a pretty regular rotation of meals week to week. 1 fish/seafood, 1 vegetarian/vegan, and 1 whatever protein. Fridays will always be leftovers/cleaning out the fridge or something random.…

Today I... 1) Went for ANOTHER walk around the block (two days in a row woohoo!) 2) I resisted the urge to order McDonald's and had a Taylor Farms Sunflower Crunch Salad Kit and added chicken and feta to it 3) Stood up for myself and put in for PTO tomorrow because I am hanging on by a thread 4) Snuggled the kitty as much…

Thank you so much to the link for this group in my I'm Back post. Life is rough right now. There are a lot of things that I can not control atm when it comes to my employment and what is happening in the country. On top of that, my cat is sick. He is the one thing that always keeps me going. Then, over the last few months…

Today I... 1. Went for a walk around the block 2. Opened the blinds and even cracked the window open 3. Organized the table near the entry hall Not much but it is a start.

I'm alive. Things have gone from bad to worse. My health has not been great and I know if I lost weight and just ate better it would help a lot. My cat has been sick. My job has been impacted by the new US administration due to where our funding comes from so I have been looking for a new one. So I am back but I am not…

I had a boss that would stop by Casey's every so often and get the team a couple breakfast pizzas. I loved them. I had a packet of carnation instant breakfast (chocolate today) with 2% lactose free milk. I don't like to eat in the mornings, but I get nauseated if I don't have SOMETHING in my stomach by like 9:30am. Once it…

I'm alive. Just been not in the best of places mentally and emotionally and my physical health has been suffering too. But I log on nearly every day and read. As some of you know I am pagan (Alex and I used to talk about it, I miss her). Last night I had a dream that one of my patrons really wants me to start taking better…

Banana Strawberry Carnation Instant Breakfast

I lost a lot of weight eating subway quite often (it was a go to when I was out and about). 6 inch wheat with either ham or turkey, pepper jack cheese, lots of veggies, and honey mustard. If I was taking it home to eat I often would get vinegar instead of the honey mustard (no oil) and then put some light mayo on when I…

Had a BLT last night and honestly it wasn't that good. Used store brand bacon and it was WAY too salty. No way I can eat it again tonight. I do still have some lunch meat (ham and roast beef) so will likely just make a basic sandwich for dinner.

I had subway last night because I went to a small market after work (which was a bust) and grabbed it on the walk home. It happens. Tonight I am making a box of hamburger helper but serving it with some broccoli. May not be the healthiest but it will be easy and tasty and still better then ordering in.

A little bit of a very flavorful cheese like feta or blue cheese. You don't need a lot so it doesn't impact calories too much. I am also a fan of roasted sweet potatoes.

I miss being able to take a day trip to Cincinnati. We used to drive over to go to Jungle Jim's.

Struggling. My digestive track is all messed up because I am eating too much junk. Now my other chronic condition seems to be acting up. Oh, plus my chronic fatigue has been really bad. So I am just a total mess. So the fatigue and work stress add up to no energy, which means I don't want to stick to my meal plan, which…

Been way off plan because my fatigue levels have been bad the last few days. We also had some really bad storms last night which kept me up until they passed. Luckily my area of the city seems to have gotten through pretty well, but the same can't be said for other parts. At one point, there were 10 radar indicated…

My favorite toppings (not all at once usually): Grilled chicken Hardboiled eggs Pickled beets Roasted sweet potato Feta cheese Blue cheese Crispy onions Grape tomatoes Bell Pepper Green Onion

I can't drink coffee. For 1, I can't have caffeine. For 2, coffee is too acidic. Both would cause a flare on their own, much less together.

Already changed things up. I can tell that I will not want to cook tonight as my pain levels are high. So I am having a tomato sandwich for dinner. That moves the chicken, green beans, and rice to tomorrow night and the curry to next week (my meal plan weeks are Saturday to Friday).

Going back to work after a long weekend is just hard. All I want to be doing is sitting on the sofa with my kitty, soaking in the morning sun and fresh air. But no. I have to be on my computer and work instead.

Oh, and dinner tonight is leftover tacos. Made them last night so will likely have them tonight and tomorrow before I eat all of it. Which is fine. I don't mind leftovers. Once that is gone I am making a crispy honey chicken freezer meal with rice and sauteed green beans. To end out the week, I am doing a vegan yellow…
