So it was running cycling against the wind all the way to the bike shop with the occasional strong side wind that pressed me to the other side of the cycling lane. Luckily I started early enough to make my appointment at the bike shop.

However, as sh*itty as that ride was (I almost needed 1.5 the time the navigation app calculated even though I rode with a rather high heart rate), the ride back was awesome since the wind calmed down and it was still sunny.

Have some eye candy and meet the E-Sledge in galaxy black and French Fries from a local pub:

ETA: portion sizes are insane in the boonies, lol. Plenty of leftovers to test the oven mode of our new microwave tomorrow.

Made the @Sophie7713 wedge salad tonite !(took the picture before I realized I forgot to sprinkle blue cheese chunks on top (so the salad in my tummy had about a glorious 1 oz of the stuff added later, lol)

Also made some “leftover chinese takeout”-fried rice for the fam (none for me!) Day old white rice + leftover crispy chicken + leftover beef & Chinese broccoli + frozen corn niblets + scrambled eggs + crispy fried garlic.

Did the weekly inventory of the stuff in the fridge and determined I needed to use up some wonton wrappers, a couple stalks of green onions and what was left of a tub of cream cheese.

Sooo....made Spicy Cream Cheese & Green Onion Fried Wontons! Also made a dipping sauce with Tamari, sesame oil, Sriracha & a touch of honey (its in that stainless steel bowl in the background)

These are terribly addictive, as evidenced that they where gone in like 10 minutes. But I did manage to eat one before they all disappeared.

1 wonton (without sauce): 66 cals

Thank you, Marvel Girl! Inspiration plus! We just love bananas and they are a household staple, as is Chia + walnuts. Hubby just whipped this up over his lunch break utilizing roughly his chia pear chocolate pudding prep BUT much less arduous with cooking and other complex steps. Probably cannot wait until tomorrow BUT as a treat tonight!!!... after doing business taxes at my desk all day long. Here was his quick concoction for your banana Walnut Chia Pudding:

One ripe banana, 2 tsp. cinnamon, ½ tsp. vanilla, 1cup of almond milk (he's lactose intolerant), 6 tbsp. Chia seeds and ¼ cup walnuts. Add all ingredients in bullet blender until smooth. Whisk in Chia seeds. Mix. Chill and WA LA! Can't wait. Thanks, again. Hugs!

Also, sooo excited to see ms.sss take on your glittery chocolate dipped strawberries! It is my birthday Friday after all. Haha. :]

Thank you for the birthday wishes. We decided to risk it and venture out for dinner tonight. A favorite local restaurant with outdoor seating with Bobby and our fashionable masks... I need a BREAK after 10 weeks! Even with take-out your still cleaning up dishes. So yay!!! no prep or dishes tonight.

By the way, it is 4 tablespoons (not 6) for above posted chia seeds and it did need just a little honey or maple Syrup. Here is the banana Peanut Butter chia now setting. I'll let you know how it tastes. So easy in the bullet.

Ah yes, the bread rolls and the bread from this little shop are just awesome. Hubby and I shared a so-called "soccer roll", basically a lye roll that looks like it has a soccer ball print on it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
