I love your white jeans...And, all your vacation outfits especially that green ruffly top that would look great with said white jeans! ;] I finally had opportunity to wear my white jeans this Spring purchased right before covid lock down. Love all the combos you can create with white jeans. Glad you and fam have some exciting trips planned. I've been traveling on business + pleasure most of April/May.

@sophie
I love it!! Very springy looking!
Perfect for spring/summer time

Guess the shopping addiction is back. Oh well.

Today I have for you 2 new tanks (yoga bottoms are old…had to wear something)

Im contorting myself wearing the black top cuz it’s actually a cute little crochet’d top, and i’m trying to find the light so you can see the holey-ness of it. Not sure it succeeded. Size small is the smallest it comes in, and while I thought it was fine in the store, im not sure anymore.

The green top i LOVED when i saw it on the rack, and continued to love trying it on, but now when i pair it with my in-closet bottoms, it only looks good when i wear tight pants….otherwise i feel like i look kinda rectangle-y in it? Or makes my chest look unflattering wide?

Love them both!!

Sorry the dress comment didn’t attach for some reason. That was @greenteleal!

I love that dress!!! You look great!!

Years ago I had a extensive collection of wide legged pants now I’ve realised my wardrobe is all skinny leg pants. This is another pair a just picked up but with a side zip. I paired it with a beige coat which I bought online from The Curated. The fabric is nice, the colour a break from black but the cut is not good as you can likely see. Couldn’t be bothered packaging it up & trudging it back to the post office & waiting in a queue for 20+ minutes. It’s freezing here … well freezing for May in Brisbane. Apparently we’ve averaged just over 3hrs of sunshine a day this month. So much for living in the sunshine state. It’s just all rain, grey skies & humidity. Everything is damp & clammy. Shudder!

You look amazing!! I envy your long slim legs!!

@Sophie7713 i too want that pink top! Its adorable 🥰

@GreenTealael white jeans went back, still on the lookout for a new pair. Always.

@Arabesque I love that beige coat. I’m totally into beige and cream and white these days and that coat would fit right in lol

That’s awesome!! So happy for you!! Enjoy your vaca!!

He certainly seems like a keeper! Your dinner looks scrumptious.

He really is. I’m blessed. Thank you!!

Fam is eating spaghetti for dinner tonight. Since I don’t do spaghetti my hub made me a seperate dish. He is the best😍Shrimp with zucchini and yellow squash. Another fav I know I’ve posted this dish before.
Ate it all!

Yes, i feel that way about chili!!
I love love chili! Even when it’s hot outside.
This week and last week we are well into the 90s here. 93 at 630pm today. Ugh Going to be a really hot summer esp since it’s already this hot in May.

Garlic Honey teriyaki chicken breast with zucchini -ate it all.
Hub made this. He is such a great cook. It was really good.

Pictures from the last several days/week-

Israeli couscous with cucumber, Tomato, balsamic vinaigrette, Tomato basil feta, and roasted chickpeas.

Stuffed pepper Soup sans rice

mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers and tomatoes

buffalo blue cheese omelette with scallions.

All of them look so good!!
Alll the Soups I’m seeing look so good. Just kinda warm down here in Texas for me to make Soup but I’m going to use those as reference for when we get our “winter”.

Okay, then - what time is dinner!? Looks amazing - fresh and colorful + I adore pork. So does Bobby! Roasted chicken leftovers on salad today... Ate ¼ - hubby had the rest for lunch topped with garlic + herbed roasted lentils.

Omg that salad looks beautiful and YUMMY!!

I don’t know who I’m kidding.

I put this plate of leftovers together to eat for “lunch” thinking i would put a reasonably sized dent into it cuz I was STARVING.

Measured and logged it all onto MFP and for some reason felt like I was looking at Mt. Everest and was all Um, nope…cant do this. And just like that, starvation gone. So its back in the fridge untouched for later.

But i took a picture, so here it is anyway.

For funsies, am also including what most of it looked like last night when it wasn’t yet leftovers but First-overs.

356 calories for the leftover plate (yep i used an actual dinner plate this time instead of my usual saucer cuz i thought i was that hungry)

The leftover plate:

Some of its original presentation last night…i didn’t take pics of it all, but the un-shown dishes were equally yummy looking:

(those gold skulls are actually bourbon ganache filled chocolates brushed with gold shimmer powder…so cute)

Yes sometimes you think you are a lot hungrier than actuality.

Those plates of food look amazing!!🤩

@arabesque& @ms.sss
Y’all both spell favorite and flavor….”favourite and flavour”
Is that a Canadian thing? Or a French thing perhaps? Just something I noticed and was curious…

Im told myself i’d do a 2wk stint of low-carbing starting today to get myself bikini ready for an upcoming vacay at the end of the month.

(while i am no longer a card-carrying ultra-low carber these days, i do acknowledge the drastic effect it has on my appearance when i do, which, in my opinion, is for the better as I think my body looks so much less “puffy” when deprived of carbohydrates). Plus I anticipate many an alcoholic drink to be consumed on vacay so it’ll all even out in the end anyway, lol.

But I digress.

Mr comes home with my absolute favourite brand of Jamaican Beef Patty (perfect amount of spice and sauciness of filling, as well as my preferred pastry makeup: not too, too flaky on the outside and chewy/soft just under the surface…how that for a description!?! Lol)

So low-carbing be damned!

I split one with Mr. 190 calories for 1/2 the patty. 🤤

From the pics on saw on OOTD you already look bikini ready my friend! You look awesome!
I agree though with you. I do feel better and look better when limiting myself on “things”. Mine is sweets like chocolate,
Chocolate covered frozen banana slices….

If you are ever in my neck of the woods (i’m serious!) i’d be happy to lay around in bikinis with you (and yep, that Tomato looks so luscious i’d believe you if you said it was fake!) 😎

Yes!! This could totally be us!
My nephews wife is from Canada. She has some pretty pics from there. Seems beautiful there!

Hi!!😊
Heb (grocery store in Texas)

“Poolside” pork dumplings.

Someone posted “poolside nachos” a while back and i’ve been waiting for weeks to follow suit! (The weather has finally co-operated!)

I started off with 2, but ended up eating 4 (plus 2 espresso martinis) by the end of the afternoon.

364 calories.

Can I-say I just don’t care about the dumplings bc I’m staring at the nice cool looking beautiful pool!!
PS I live in Texas and we are already steady in the mid 90s here.
I’d be in your pool trading the espresso martini for a strawberry margarita !! Or two!! Hehehehe🍷

Been doing these daily bentos. They're small little portions, perf for wls. I got this bento from a Japanese goods store. The biggest one is about 400 ml, about 1.6 cups (because im American lol) and the smallest one holds 180 ml or .75 cups/3/4.

I get about 40 grams of Protein depending on the food combo in them. Im a vegetarian so here I have vegan jerkey, vegan breadless chicken strips, edamame Beans and white cheese. Got some veggies and fruit for Fiber, some baked fries, and a serving of these no sugar added dark chocolate gems for dessert.

I supplement the rest with a Protein yogurt an/or Protein Shake. Takes me anywhere from 70-90 grams of protein daily.

Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Those containers are nice!

My lunch today- calories are for the total slice of which I’m glad I cut in half because that’s what I ate but I’ll eat the other half later when I’m hungry.

Sourdough toast topped with blue cheese, pear slices and walnuts with a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar.

Also, my nephew is hanging out with me today so I was able to snap pictures of those simulate Dino nuggets.

Gotta say Meh on the Dino nugget.
But the toast w pear looks pretty good!
