Breakfast was an egg white and tempeh bacon wrap with hot sauce. Lunch is probably going to be an apple and pb2 yogurt dip. Supper is TBD, but will probably involve lentils, roasted tomatoes and....I dunno. We'll see what we can come up with.

Breakfast today was oatmeal and blueberries, lunch was chocolate PB2 yogurt dip and an apple. Snack was caramel corn (oops) and half a slice of husband's pizza (double oops). Dinner tonight is another salad of spring greens, with blueberries,some dried fruit and nuts, and topped with some more fake meat for protein.

I love poutine!! However, I've only ever had what I assume are the bastardized American versions, and have not tried it in its native environment.

204.4?????? That...wasn't the direction I was expecting, but I'll take it!

Ha, you give me too much credit!! We were on a houseboat, so it was all preplanned meals...no eating out or restaurants for miles lol. That being said, it was mom cooking. But she really accommodated my low saturated fat diet, and made it really easy. There were a few days I probably ate more than I should have (smores,…

My home sweet home Minnesota. We dove up to the Namakan with my parents for vacation, in Voyageurs National Park. Airport food courtesy of MSP. They have some legit options. Unfortunately I had to pass over all of the other good stuff on the menu - walleye bites, cheese curds, some amazing sounding burgers.... but the…

Home from a great vacation! We ate well, I think I ate around maintenance most days (no cell service in Voyageurs, so no logging), and I swam every day. We just got back this evening. Husband and I had light supper (fake chicken cutlets and salad), to make up for the airport food lunch (a delicious but heavy mushroom bahn…

Hanging steady at 205.6 today. No surprise after yesterday's lunch out. I can tell I'm retaining water again by how my rings fit. Thus concludes this month's scale cycle. It'll likely be way up when I get back again - I plan at eating around maintenance on the trip, plus will be flying out and back. Oh well.

Yesterday's lunch was so good. We split an order of dumplings (chicken, watercress and shiitake), and I splurged on a frozen ginger lemonade. I had the rainbow salad, which is green papaya, mango, red cabbage, roasted peanuts, honey glazed walnuts, mint, and whatever the dressing is that involved some fish sauce. I forgot…

omg today is Wednesday. Not Thursday. We leave for vacation Friday. Not tomorrow. I need a nap.

Breakfast was a "Just Egg" and veggie sausage patty sandwich with PB2 yogurt dip and an apple. I'm going out to lunch with a friend, and have already scoured the menu. I usually get a delicious noodle or curry dish, but I found a lighter, grilled option (lemon grilled chicken with vegetable skewers), and I might throw a…

This is what I have been doing as well. I am a very numbers/data driven person. I know I'm technically eating healthier for me if I have red meat 1-2 a month, and lots of fruits and veggies every day. But I like being able to see the actual numbers and to learn from them. As long as it fits, I can have it. And there are…

7/1: 205.4 7/3: 203.4 7/4: 204.8 7/5: 208.6 7/7: 205.6 - dropping back down again. Between all of the trips to the kitchen for more water and extra trips to the bathroom because of said water, I'm at least getting some extra steps in! We leave tomorrow for vacation, so tomorrow morning will be my last weight of this cycle.…

Congats to him on the new job! But oof what a surprise. I'm sure it will be lovely to have him around, but what a disruption to your usual routine. I hope that works out for you all with as minimal stress as possible!

My mom is the best. We're getting ready to leave on vacation next week - spending a week with my parents on a houseboat up in northern MN. Now. My mom LOVES to cook. Good, flavorful, buttery, meaty, delicious foods. Since I told her about my cholesterol and how I need to watch my saturated fats, she has been worried a bit…

Fourth of July was delicious. I had too many chips and guac, some amazing marinated turkey breasts (one in dill pickle brine, the other in a korean bbq marinade), 2 veggie burgers, sweet potato salad, the best baked beans, and the smores trifle for dessert. And a few Pimms cups. I was definitely over calories, but didn't…

7/5: 208.6 :lol: :lol: :lol: speaking of water weight...

7/4: 204.8 (ugh, water weight)

I've never thought of doing frittata in the slow cooker! Great way to avoid the oven on a hot day!

The cowboy caviar made for a pretty good dinner last night! I topped it with some avocado, and ate it with chips. Breakfast today was an uncontrolled shoveling of brownies into my mouth. I hid them out of sight. Supper will be black bean burgers on the grill, with a brownie s'mores trifle for dessert (assuming there are…

Breakfast was scrambled eggs (with extra egg whites) and about cup of fresh herbs from the garden, a little fruit salad of nectarine and blackberry with fresh picked mint, and 2 veggie sausage patties with our own maple syrup. Homegrown and homemade food just does my soul good. Lunch will be leftover ceviche and chips.…

The monthly drop continues! SW: 256 (June 2019) LW: 193 (September 2020) 5/6: 211.6 6/12: 204.5 (most recent low) 6/15: 206.6 (last pre-trip weight) 6/28: 208.4 (first post-trip weight) 7/1: 205.4 7/3: 203.4

Within 6 months (about 25 lbs lost), my rings were so big they were sliding off. I thought it was fine, until my wedding ring fell off in my sleep and I had to dig though the bed to find it! I ended up buying little plastic ring size adjusters (about $3 from amazon), which work great. This way I can wait until I'm stable…

Thanks, @lauriekallis - I needed that! I was feeling pretty bummed about that 208 weight. I was hoping to end up between 200 and 201 this month, which might be wishful thinking at this point. But, at least it is dropping. Now, we sit back and watch lol.

Breakfast: cantaloupe and blueberries Lunch: Hummus wrap with greens and avocado, maybe egg whites? Snack: PB2 dip and an apple Dinner: Chicken breast with greens and leftover quinoa and pesto.

Do you have a favorite version Connie? I'd love the recipe if you have it!

The monthly drop cycle begins. I was back up to 208.4 after my trip. Most was surely water retention, but I did eat a LOT at the end of the trip, so not sure where I'll end up this month. Probably not as low as I was hoping, but we'll see! SW: 256 (June 2019) LW: 193 (September 2020) 5/6: 211.6 6/12: 204.5 (most recent…

Looks like a black bean salsa, but also has black-eyed peas in it. I've never made it, but my friend swears it is amazing. https://www.budgetbytes.com/cowboy-caviar/ I ended up not making that tonight, because we didn't want to go to the grocery store in the heat. So that will be tomorrow's dinner. Instead, I made do with…

Breakfast today was egg whites, morningstar farms "sausage" patties, half an avocado, and a perfectly ripe white peach. Lunch will be the hummus I made yesterday, some snap peas, and maybe leftover chicken. For snacks, I'll do some PB2 yogurt dip, an apple, and some blueberries. I think for dinner, I'll make some cowboy…

@PAV8888 to be honest, about half of the fudgesicle mixture didn't make it into the molds when I did it either :joy:
