I didn't gain wait, and I kept up with my exercise, so that's a win for me in this dreary-*kitten* month. Here's to a loss in March!

Chain restaurants usually have nutrition info available online. If it's a non-chain restaurant, pick a similar meal at a chain restaurant. Local pizza place - use Dominos or Papa Johns with similar toppings/crust to log it. Pay attention to things like salads, build-a-pasta, or similar foods with add-ons or choices for the…

1. Black bean and corn enchiladas, shredded cheese, apple 2. Crunchy fish tacos with cabbage/mango slaw and chipotle sour cream

Haluski - sauteed cabbage and noodles. I make spaetzle for it, but egg noodles work just fine. Ours contains two slices of bacon for flavor. Pork tenderloin or chops over sauteed cabbage, onion, and apples Fish tacos with cabbage-mango slaw (shredded cabbage, mango cut into matchstick sized pieces, salt, pepper, lime juice…

I'm having pan-fried cod tomorrow, with pirogi and Brussels sprouts. Season cod with Cajun seasoning, salt & pepper - you can also dredge in flour or cornstarch at this point, but I usually only do that with trout. I have no reason for that. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to skillet. 3-4 minutes per side in a skillet on…

1. Leftovers - SkinnyTaste skillet cordon bleu, parsley potatoes, broccoli, tomato juice 2. Ham, cheese & broccoli 3-egg omelette, Brussels sprouts, blood oranges Only 980 calories, so gotta figure something out. Ice cream? Random buffalo chicken egg rolls from Costco? Hm.

It looks like you're pretty far under your calorie goal (860ish, 1870ish) in the days leading up to candy fun time, so I doubt you've set yourself back at all - even if you're trying to account for overestimated calorie burns from a FitBit or whatever. You might just be hungry and not eating enough after big workouts?

A number of medical facilities are now offering meditation courses - I took a great one through a local teaching hospital as they had done a few research studies involving healing, chronic illness, and meditation. It went beyond guided meditation, so you could practice in any situation without prompts. We looked at a few…

Started C25K for summer running early this year. I give up on running during the winter because I hate treadmill running. These early interval days on the treadmill are working out ok though! Hopefully I'll be road ready when the weather breaks in April :)

1. Red potatoes, green beans, asparagus, arugula, HB egg, and walnuts with a mustard vinaigrette (last day for this salad, yay! At least it was really tasty and filling.) 2. SkinnyTaste Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu, parsley potatoes, steamed broccoli Only 1093 calories, so probably some Trader Joes ginger thins cookies and…

1. Red potatoes, green beans, asparagus, arugula, HB egg, and walnuts with a mustard vinaigrette 2. SkinnyTaste Korean grilled chicken, jasmine rice, spicy stir-fried broccoli, bok choy, and green beans 1270 calories. Maybe a piece of toffee or popcorn before bed.

I like to keep a few of the 8 oz mini-cans of regular Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper around and have one every other week or so. Automatic portion control, and an enjoyable 100 calorie treat.

I cut out a meal. 1300-1350 calories, two largish meals, limited snacking. Lunch is around 500 calories, Dinner is anywhere between 550-850 calories. A snack or something if it fits. Not for everyone, but I'm satisfied eating this way. And I can usually play around with lunch if I'm hungry early for some reason and eat…

Breakfast - egg, American cheese, toast, orange juice, coffee Lunch - roast turkey, stuffing, veggies Wild Card - apple Dinner - protein plus pasta, meatballs, sauce, green beans 1448 calories

Chocolate mousse or pudding, fresh raspberries, whipped cream Orange segments dipped in dark chocolate Angel food cake and berries

Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. Getting 20 or 30 minutes of yoga, especially after sitting in a car or on a plane for hours, feels great.

Congrats!

I can often hold off on a serious pizza fest with an at home option. It's not the same, but the flavors can hit the spot for considerably less calories - between 400 & 600 calories instead of 900-1500. I eat food with a pizza flavor probably once per week, and keep the glorious, greasy real pizza to one or two days a…

I got noticeably more second interviews and job offers while having the same experience.

Keep some shredded chicken breast on hand - you can add it to eggs, savory oatmeal, toast, etc. to bump up protein.

I'm having some black bean enchiladas, an apple, and a cheese stick. 400 calories and quite filling.

Your body is likely fine with carbs, you just need to give it some time to re-adjust after cutting out then reintroducing a huge subset of food. Did you have the Keto flu going in? You would likely have some not ideal body feelings if you were a vegan or vegetarian who suddenly binged on meat or ate a huge mound of fries…

Body fat influences your endocrine system. You can experience changes in your cycle as you lose, and it can keep changing every so often as you lose body fat. You can also experience bouts of acne or sudden clearing of the skin, appetite changes, etc. that go along with hormone swings.

My hunger was pretty intense while I was doing SL5X5. I lightened up and switched programs, and my appetite is back to normal. Get lots of sleep, protein, and water and don't ignore rest days. Also, your calorie goals are drastically different . . . . are you doing IF? That + heavy lifting + lots of cardio might not be the…

Coffee Meal Mid-day: beef & vegetable pot roast, apple, Babybel cheese Evening: TJ's mandarin orange chicken, jasmine rice, broccoli slaw, 5 vegetable pot stickers & soy dipping sauce 1,184 calories So, maybe some popcorn and blood oranges or hot chocolate after yoga.

Fiber + Fat combo. I'm definitely in agreement with folks who mentioned baked potatoes. I often do a potato topped with black beans, cheese, and sour cream for dinner, and I'm full for hours.
-
Nice job with the portion control though! I'm also a chicken tender fan - I often get tenders with a cup of something like vegetable soup to keep the calories manageable.

Laproscopic? I was back at school in 5 days. I missed no days, as it was Thanksgiving vacation. I went home from the hospital the same day (to be fair, I'm very stubborn after anesthesia and was forcing myself to get up and walk around to the bathroom and the halls within the hour - another day of hospital IV pain meds…
