Made a recipe from a Pinterest. Wasn't paying attention and I overcooked the chicken. Tasted good but a little to dry for me. Chewed forever. Ugh.

I have been too chicken to try breast meat lol pun intended ?

I managed to eat about 3/4 of the chicken and 2 bites of veggies lol. It was good though. I think my max capacity is 3oz for right now.

I should see how much I'm actually eating. I'm guessing 2 oz. I will try tomorrow.

? that's was cute and funny. I won't eat dark meat. Never liked the taste. lol

I went to get my eyebrows threaded and I always go to the pretzel maker place afterwards to get a large pretzel bites with cheese dip, for my girls and I to share. Well, I can't have any, and I almost got some for my girls but decided against it. So I pick up my little one from her school and go to the store. I ask her what she'd like for a snack. Usually it's chips, cake, etc. but I quickly realized I should give her an option from the produce section so she picked strawberries with chocolate dip. I'm fine with a dip if needed, so yay for the strawberries instead of chips or cookies.

We're going somewhere...yeah!

Oh and my exercise pants are loose around my thighs especially. Kind of weird. ?

@esaad hey hon, how have you been doing?

Hurray for the NSV @Newme17. Sometimes when you give kids healthy choices they surprise us. Kudos to your daughter. My grandson loves fruit so I try to always have some in the house.

i really need to get my eye brows done and my roots are really looking gray.

Thank you. Speaking of gray, I have several strands. But I'm wondering if I lose hair, if it's going to grow back in gray. ? Guess we'll see.

My hair is so thick I'm hoping no one will notice if I lose a little.

Same here. I could lose a bit and it might not even be noticeable, so I guess we're in a good position then. Lol

I managed 15 minutes on the elliptical tonight. I don't want to push it too hard especially while I can't seem to get more than 65g of protein in a day. I am going to add an extra snack of maybe a cheeses stick to see if I can get to 70 g.

how much protein is everyone else getting?

My plan: Min of 60-65, max of 80 for me.

I have no idea what I have been doing, I haven't been counting really. Had a protein drink. Drinking a protein water now. Ate a shrimp. Had some chicken. Had a yogurt drink. If I had to guess, maybe 75???

I would feel better if I was at 70-75g. I don't want to lose too much muscle.

Oh good grief, I'm crying about the little girl ventriloquist on AGT. ? ? So touching.

hormones out of whack... haha
