Don't really like today's menu, but I need to go shopping. It's amazing how I stock up on veggies at the beginning of the week, wondering how I'll ever get through them all before they go bad, only to run out mid-week!

I think I do better on this plan by splitting my snack (Quest bar) into 2 portions - one half eaten between breakfast & lunch and the other half eaten between lunch & dinner. I'm usually full after dinner anyway

Tonight I made grilled fish tacos. I used the texas style flounder dry rub recipe. I had 3 nice sized swai fillets thawed and prepped for indoor grilling.
I made DH a crispy fish taco (crispy tortilla shell) and mine were in lettuce leafs. Topped both with home made salsa, a drizzle of home made dressing on mine, zucchini fries and squirt of lime! YUMMYYY
canadjineh your maintenance plan gives me hope! Everything you listed sounds great! Also, 5'8" and 130? I'm 5'9 and was going to stop around 160. Are you on the low end?
Goal is 132 - when I was younger (25) I used to weigh 125 but that's too light for my age now (50 in a few days) & I wouldn't look very good. I have fine bone structure although I am tallish. My finger sizes are 4.5 for my wedding rings, 5.75 & 6 for my middle and pointer fingers depending on whether dominant hand or not. My pinky & thumb tips touch around my wrist and I have 8.5 size shoe in a AA width. Just so you know what I am built like lol
Technically I could be heavier (140 was my interim goal) and it would still be healthy and not be horrible if I found myself stuck there and seemingly at my body's setpoint. But I didn't have a whole lot of difficulty getting down to 133 so I'm feeling pretty fine there and trying that for maintenance.
If you are 5'9 the CDC and WHO say that you are still in healthy norms from 128 lbs (18.7 body mass index) to 168 lbs (24.8 body mass index). Whatever is comfortable for your body works best for you. That's if you are between 40 & 60 yrs of age - sorry if I insulted you but going by my charts.
