Breakfast- toast with ricotta, chopped dates, and honey with coffee (and zero sugar peppermint mocha creamer lunch- vegetable soup with cannellini beans dinner- tofu and veggie stir fry with peanut sauce.

She’s doing better. She got a dialysis fistula and a port (for labs and meds) placed in October. She’s still working with physical therapy and a home health nurse to get stronger. I on the other hand and currently on medical leave until after heart surgery because even walking into work leaves me short of breath when a few short months ago I was hiking miles and it turns out my congenital heart defect has acutely gotten worse over the past year. 😭

Most meals are between 300-500 calories each except the sushi was like 250. I’ve been eating a lot of eggs the past week but am definitely not doing the egg fast diet again! And most of these “meals” are things I pick at for a couple hours. Today’s lunch (the last picture) I made at 3pm and finished around 630pm. It’s roasted butternut squash with sautéed kale, garlic, onion, and shiitake rice.

I rarely ever finish a meal in one sitting and it usually I either graze on it or eat it the next meal. However I am 2yrs out from revisions (one lifesaving) and can eat 2 scrambled eggs and half an English muffin for a meal most of the time.

I’ve been eating a lot of eggs lately. The pancakes I ate half a stack (kid and I split them to try) and didn’t eat the other half and sent home with the kid. 😂 Also, these fryums from the Indian grocery are a new addiction by air frying at 400 for 3 minutes.

A lot of the recipes in that book are really tasty. This is the cover with the name.

Breakfast today and the recipe nutrition info includes the toast

Hear me out- whipped cottage cheese with whatever you want mixed in- I suggest going the fruity route and mixing chopped figs and pecans and a drizzle of honey and freezing first.

I, too, am always cold 😭 Also, is anyone else eating a ton of cottage cheese (with a variety of toppings) lately?

Demi-baguettes, cranberry walnut bread, soup 😍 and meatball subs on the Demi-baguettes with salad. I did not take an after picture of the meatball sub dinner but failed to eat most of the salad and only most of the sub.

Not a clue, I drink it year round but I’m an odd duck. Made soup yesterday and it was 90f/32c outside. 😂 🤷‍♀️

Veggie fried rice, rice with furikake, and inarizushi (I also ate one full sushi and 2 of the pouches without the rice in them while making them).

The trick to eggs- baking soda in the water. And then ice bath right away after cooking. Also, I use an egg cooker so I poke a tiny hole in each egg before cooking it. I don’t cook boil them anymore and that seems to help.

Did a whole bunch of errands today and by the time I got home I was starving! Starting at the avocado and going clockwise- sliced avocado, strawberries, blueberries, fontina, Roth blue cheese, espresso bellavitano, pizza Gouda, salame calabrese, prosciutto, coppa Italiana, salame Milano, snack mix and cinnamon toast cookies and dry cured olives The leftovers (including the plate) went into a bag for breakfast in the morning. Calories adjusted to what I ate.

I’m sad that the work salad was $6.50! Anyway- baked Parmesan meatballs a spicy chicken bacon ranch flatbread pizza thing and green beans (only are 3/4 the pizza and half the green beans) very crispy green beans roasted in bacon fat paprika marinated chicken and mozzarella nooch zucchini with soy sesame cucumbers

I purposefully buy it because im the only one in my house who’ll eat it so I know it’s safe. 😂

Went for a hike this past week and had a small apple pie soft serve ice cream! The view was great, the ice cream was just meh.

This is going to sound crazy but …. Up your calories to 600. You’ll likely break through your stall that way. As for the stall itself, they can last a month or so. Just focus on following your plan, and drinking water.

I made these but instead of the frosting listed I mixed sugar free chocolate chips with heavy cream to make a ganache. OH, and I used a sugar free maple flavored syrup instead of real maple syrup.

Meal prepping for my work week- chocolate almond powder chia seed pudding for breakfasts with a protein shake in my coffee, sausage with peppers, onions, and mushrooms for lunch, and then these no bake brownies for desserts when I get home. (Dinner will be either chicken or tuna salad probably).

The salad I ate for 2 days. 😂 The nutrition is for half a salad which is about what I ate each day.

Yeah, I always look at the ads on Wednesdays and Fridays (ad preview) to see who has what for the week and make my list. That said, I paid $5.92US for 5 dozen non- fancy pants eggs last week. Which we a far cry from the $22+ it was last year. I miss paying $3.40 for 5 dozen back in 2020. 😭

Can someone let me know what our next fad food is gonna be? 😂
