BFR have you tried roasting veggies, a little olive oil, your choice of seasoning, we have a smoky chipotle blend you might like, I forget the brand at the moment, I'll look it up for you. Grilled veggies are good too.
I recently started making sweet potato fries, you cut them up like French fries, put a tsp or two of oil in a baggies, put the fries in to coat them, sometimes I spice them up, sometimes plain, the bake in the oven about 10 mins per side, again I'll find a link for you, it's the quickest way to cook sweet potato. I googled sweet potato fries, the site called instructables has step by step directions with photos.
Sometimes when I do those steamers I add a little butter and garlic salt, to me it's kind of like salad dressing, if it gets me eating more veg it's a good indulgence.
BFR, that veggie-pasta-chicken dish sounds great! And I'm glad you remembered to take your probiotics!

I think I'm going to jump on this thread...exercise is my big downfall and I need to be accountable somewhere. I know I cannot make changes to my current form if I don't do cardio and strength training.
