Hi Carol, fellow jerseyer! Once the snow melts in the 60 degree temps today I will take down the Christmas lights outside!
Late hockey game last night for DS had me up till 11:30 but I slipped a quest chips package in the car and ate it on the ride home so I was not starving. My coach says not to go more than 4 hours between eating even if it means an extra pack....
For planning, I am good but not as good as I should be. I shop for fresh veggies 2 or 3 times per week. I pre chop always my peppers since they are the base for most of my meals.
First thing in the am is always a RTD Vanilla while I feed and take out the dog. Then my "breakfast" is around 8-9 and I do if I am home a pancake or muffin of some sort...
Lunch is always the same peppers, cucumbers, and every few days some tomato's with oil and vinegar and a pack of some kind ....winter has been soups. Just bought protithin pea soup....can't wait to try that. I sometimes make a huge veggie salad with the above and cauliflower and pickles. Portion it our with the oil and vin and the containers are ready to eat...actually think I will make that today!
Dinner is some sort of cooked veggie and my 8oz of protine. We are a family that loves fish so I do that a lot. Red meat once a week usually. Lots of chicken too....
I have a snack mid afternoon - that's usually my restricted unless I do the chili for lunch.
Before bed is a cup of smooth move tea.....gotta keep things working...lol
Thanks for the topic Lisa it reminded me about making that salad. In the beginning of my journey I ate that all the time and I loved that it was always ready in the fridge....gotta pull the recipe out.
Have an awsome day everyone.....dinner out tonight with my BIL & SIL who have 1 day layover from California on their way home from Vacation....hope they landed last night...
