Look at that piercing gaze! 🤣
Why do I have a feeling that Kitty has eaten more salad than me this year.

I believe you completed enough exercised for three people. Can I be one of them? 🤔🤣

More liquid salad. (Zuppa tuscana with zucchini added). And my meals for today. I also had some broccoli cheese Soup and a special k Protein Bar for lunch at work. I’ll have rest of the broccoli soup and salad for dinner when I get home.

I used it a lot. When I get cheap produce I dehydrate a lot into work and school Snacks. I also use it to make wraps, fruit leather, and beef Jerky.

Fish stew, pikliz, and brown sugar milk tea boba. I threw in more epis, tomatoes, and celery into the stew along with onions and peppers when I cooked it. Served over jasmine rice.
Also, I’ve somehow convinced myself that Soup is just a liquid salad.

I actually finished the book today and I hope she writes a sequel! It’s “Devil of the Deep” by Falencia Jean-Francois She’s a smaller Indy writer so she doesn’t have many books out yet. I immediately started “The Devil Wears Scrubs” by Freida McFadden afterwards. Which brings me to reading books 49 and 50 so far this year.
As for the fish stew, the snapper is currently marinating and smells amazing. If you aren’t a garlic fan though it’s probably not for you.

6 yrs out next month and there are still days that i forget to eat. case in point: TODAY.
i went on a bit of an exercise binge today: 5km early morning run, followed by 2 back-to-back 1 hr each (power) hot yoga classes, then a last-minute decision to go to a pilates class (cuz i had a free pass expiring tomorrow), and finally an approx 10k round trip (leisurely) bike ride to and from the bike shop to get our bikes serviced (i hate biking btw, so this was sorta a big deal lol...i complained the whole way)
...and by the time we got home it was like past 4pm and i realized i didn't eat all day! and i didn't even feel hungry. now...how i was able to do all that on an empty stomach and not keel over, i'll never know.
anyways...here is what i fixed for myself to eat for my first meal of day at 4:30pm:
rice, burnt bacon (oopsies, got distracted!), 2 med-boiled eggs, and a couple tablespoons of this homemade ginger-green-onion condiment that i make that Mr. and The Kid LOVE and eat by the tubful lol.
394 calories for the entire thing. ate it ALL. (guess i was hungry after all! ha!)
not sure i'll be able to eat my normal 2300+ cals a day today since its so late already, but im not worried, it all evens out in the end (plus i had a pretty big dinner last night, so there's that.)

tonights dinner: leftover pizza.
its a different one fer sure: white sauce with creamed corn, roasted tomatoes, basil, anchovies and Parmesan .
tasted like a salty dessert pizza lol.
anyway, i ate it all, est 200 calories.

I’m 4yrs out from VSG to RNY and I still find that most bread and flour tortillas sit really heavy. I have better luck with crackers, corn tortillas and toast.

Finally starting to feel “normal” again with food prep and meals after being in a funk the past few months.

Went to a conference a couple weeks ago and this was the lunch. The salmon was good. The rice and Soup? Not so much. And I didn’t even grab dessert. 😂

Made refrigerator pickles, dried strawberries, dehydrated bbq zucchini chips, split pea Soup, and pikliz (a Haitian pickled slaw) this week. But since I didn’t have lime juice or habanero peppers I used lemon juice and Sriracha instead. It’s pretty tasty and I can’t wait to have more with fish stew on Friday. (I’m currently reading a book by a Haitian author and the way she mentions fish stew made my mouth water!) Only ate half the dinner roll but all the soup and half the pikliz.

Glad you’re feeling more yourself @Starwarsandcupcakes. You’ve been through a lot the last few months and recovery is just not the healing of physical scars. Looking forward to seeing your meal prep pxts again.

Tonight's dinner...a little bit of something from everyone's Japanese take out order!
clockwise from top:
- sushi rice with bbq eel & unagi sauce & Japanese omelette
- chicken karate with spicy sauce
- 1 takoyaki (octopus fritter)
estimating 350 cals for the plate, i ate it all!
i also had an espresso martini (not shown) - 141 cals - beforehand!
oh, and one marzipan confection (shown below, isn't it adorable?!?!?) - 133 cals - afterwards!
so...for those keeping track, that adds up to 624 calories total
 

i loove my slow cooker (and its close cousins, the instant pot and my trusty rice cooker!)
*remembers that there are ribs in the basement freezer and makes mental note to defrost them so i can make my slow cooker ribs...yummmmmm*
