Dinner for tonight (this plate is for my bf) I thought the way I served him looked nicer then my sloppy mess. My portion Is without rice and half the size of meat he has. Finished it all within an hour.

Day 21: I'm most grateful for my mini fridge. I bought it on amazon not that long ago for my office and it has been great for storing my meals and drinks. I have different ingredients in the fridge depending on what my lunches are at work. I hate warm drinks (depending on the drink) so this has been great for storing my homemade juices too.

I'm definitely more of a salty person, but I'm not crazy for salty snacks like chips, popcorn, etc. I prefer actually meals. As far as sweets go, I prefer ice cream or gelato. Any other dessert can go.

Get well soon! ❤️

Wow that salad looks soooo good, especially that shrimp. My mouth is watering lol Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a good one!

Day 20: Im going to have to go with @ms.sss absolutely everything!

Omg I think my heart just melteddddd! Sooooo cuteeeee! ❤️❤️❤️

That sauce ?????????

Looks good! I could eat salmon everyday and never get tired of it.

Late lunch today, palta rellena aka stuffed avocado! I was surprised I got so full off of a couple of bites. Maybe its the avocado. Or maybe its because of my cold?

OMG ... thats crazyyyyy! I can't believe it lol

Today's lunch: Chorizo and onion tostada. Found spicy turkey sausage and thought tostadas would be perfect for them. Added black beans, lettuce, tomato, cotija cheese, light sour cream, and habanero sauce but i forgot my avocado at home Finished it all in the span of 2 1/2 hours.

Day 19: My car for sure. About two years ago I needed a new car and I began my search with a budget in mind. My dad told me about a car he thought I should get and once I googled it I fell in love. I went to my local dealership knowing it was wayyy over my budget and I bought it anyways. No regrets.

Day 18: I'm most grateful for my calm demeanor. It takes me so much to get upset or to stress/freak out, even in the most terrible situations. But when I say it takes me a lot ... well I really mean A LOT. My house could be on fire and Id probably be like "wow... no biggie, I'm not hurt and neither is anyone else so its all good" Here's a real life example (story time): When I was in high school I was working at a fast food joint. One night a guy came in with a mask and a gun trying to rob the place. He pointed it right at me and my co worker and everyone else froze. He demanded we open the drawer. I didn't know what to make of this. I wasn't scared just thrown off a bit. Two of my co workers were crying and I asked the robber "is this for real???" because I just couldn't believe someone would come out on a snowy day to rob us (dumb to think, I know). He yelled "YES THIS IS FOR REAL!" and then he jumped over the counter with the gun still pointed and tried to open the cash drawer. I stood there pretty calm wondering how I was going to get out of this. At this point my co workers were fleeing then my manager grabbed me and told me to run, so I did. Id say this trait is also one of my weaknesses. I can be too relaxed thinking everything will be okay which makes me react a little slower to certain situations. It also makes me seem like I don't care about anything (what others have told me) Not sure why I'm like this but I am. If I'm healthy and alive, and so are my loved ones, why should anything stress me out? Well the example I gave above isn't the greatest since I was about to get shot and not be completely healthy, or alive for that matter, but I hope you all know what I mean lol B-Side Question: Does Thanksgiving/Banquets make you nervous now? Nope! I'm looking forward to the holidays and to the food. It hasn't been too hard to stick to my doctors plan.

Thanks! I just tried not to make it too sweet like reg. take out

Never new that there was such thing as broccoli crust! I gotta try this

Today's lunch: Leftovers from yesterday, chicken and broccoli stir fry. Will probably have a salad for dinner. Ate it all that was in my bowl but it took 2 hours.

This is amazing! Congrats girl! Now YOUR time has come!

Day 16: Not sure of you would consider them a band but I love the Backstreet Boys! Hearing their music is nostalgic and many years later they are still killing it. Day 17: I’m most grateful for my flexibility. I’m able to come and go as I please and work around my own schedule as long as I finish everything I need to do. Do you get hangry? Not anymore! It’s weird because before surgery if I didn’t eat for a long period of time I would get cranky, now I forget to eat. Yesterday I was so busy that I forgot I needed to eat and I didn’t have anything until 7:30 pm. Also, once I had a meal at that time I took two bites of my food and I was full.

I seriously need to try this! This would be a great alternative for sandwiches! Love this thread, so many great ideas and inspiration ✨?

Lunch: Today is was chicken parm. Its not the healthiest or lowest calorie meal but i didn't have breakfast so I guess its ok. Actually I haven't even had dinner yet, Ive been running around all day. My bf ate the rest. ps: I know its weird to put the cheese at the bottom instead of on top of the sauce but I like it sticking to the chicken lol Before: After:

I haven’t tried tofu since surgery but if it doesn’t sit well I'm definitely going to try this out! I wonder if it would hold its shape in a stir fry? yummm hot and sour soup sounds good right about now lol

@FluffyChix Wow! The eggs look just like tofu! Love it

Mhmm looks delicious! ❤️

Day 15: I'm most grateful for my dimples. When I was younger I use to absolutely hate them. It was mostly because people would comment on them and pinch my cheeks. I didn't like the attention, I was a shy kid. Growing up I've learned to appreciate them mostly because it was a feature that was passed down in my family. My great grandfather had them, then my grandpa, then my dad, and now me. Its makes me feel more connected to my family.
