not american, so no thanksgiving pics to share, but here are some thingsn i've prepared/eaten the last week or so

(NOTE: i'm currently in an effort to gain weight - the horrors! lol - so my food choices may be a little off-the-bariatirc-norm...)

1) bbq pork and seasoned rice one-pot-rice-cooker-meal. my portion: 266 cals...ate almost all of it

2) homemade chilli topped with cilantro and feta cheese, home focaccia and sliced avocado sprinkled with sumac: 599 calories for whats shown. ate everything except the foccacia (too chewy for me!!...mr ate it instead)

3) more of my homemade chili, some cheddar cheese, more cilantro, and some Tostido's Hint of Lime Tortilla chips (my fave!!!) 276 cals...ate it all!

4) homemade guacamole with the above mentioned focaccia that i slow toasted to make crisps with cheddar & cilantro & sour cream: 370 cals...ate all except 2 the focaccia crisps.

5) homemade crispy pork belly...omg THE. BEST. CRISPY. PORK. BELLY. EV-AH!!!

this pic is of the entire slab. i had roughly 1/2 cup volume of it. ate it all!! 250 calories!

6) junky snacks:

- 2 walkers mini shortbread Cookies + 1 chocolate : 123 calories

- 2 walkers mini shortbread Cookies + 3 sour keys candies 103 calories

yep, ate all it

ta-da!

Looks yummy. I love chili. OMG, I cannot keep my hands off the Walker mini-short bread star cookies in the cupboard!!! You are so disciplined with two. I have been eating five at a time. 😕

I love crispy air fried pork belly dipped in a vinegar/garlic/black pepper dip. I can't eat too much of it or I'll feel a little off hehe but I have had it off and on. Looks good!

Weighed myself today and saw that I lost weight after stabilizing for almost 3 months, yikes.

So ice cream it was, took the kids for an after dinner ice cream run and decided to have one myself. I was reluctant and decided to lick some off theirs because I didn’t want to dump, but after driving around and deciding that it was a really good soft serve, and I would eat some and toss the rest away if needed, I went back and grabbed one.

Fortunately the soft serve machine ran out of ice cream and I ended up with 1/3 of the portion (divine intervention I tell ya) so this was what I was left with, ate it all! (Also cracked the waffle cone that was sticking out and threw it away, nobody has time to dump this late)

ok here's a weird one lol.

went to yoga, pilates, nail appt, botox appt, then grocery shopping this morning/afternoon.

i didn't eat before i left (which is normal), then came home around 3:30pm still on an empty stomach (not so normal)...and only realized i was STARVING when i finally got home omg.

it was slim pickings in the fridge/pantry and was too hungry to order out, so just threw together what was available:

1 avocado, 3 tbsp of 4-day old cannedtuna with mayo (yikes), chilli oil & ginger-scallion sauce. 511 cals for it all.

spoiler alert: it wasn't very appetizing. ate like 2/3? (basically until i wasn't hungry anymore). and was done.

kinda wish i just waited and ordered something yummier. feels/felt like such a waste of stomach real estate, ugh.

oh well. at least im not starving anymore.

Did an intense leg workout followed by a slow jog on the treadmill. Then it was time for dinner.

We had pesto chicken sandwiches for dinner, with air fried breaded chicken breast, pesto, melted cheddar and sliced heirloom tomatoes.

I grabbed a half (already had bitten into it as you can see)

How I did:

Not sufficient Protein obv, will have a Protein Shake before bed.

The husband and I had a little outdoor picnic because the weather was nice this past weekend. There is a place that does a grilled cheese of the month and I knew I needed it in my life! So we went. I didn’t take an after picture but I drank some of the beer and ate most of half of the sandwich; only like 2 fries.

OMG this sounds delicious. Think I’d risk the bread sitting like a lump in my tummy for a bite or two (or three or four) of this sandwich.
