This morning's bake: Cream Cheese-Filled banana Walnut Bread




First pic just out of the oven, then cut into for serving, then my portion from a few hours ago: 40g (about 1/4 cup in volume): 120 calories




Ate it all.




Pretty yum, as evidenced by the fact that the entire loaf was gone by the time I came back from grocery shopping. LOL.

Oh you lucky Americans and your variety of access to cool foods.

You can order these wraps via Instacart:

https://www.instacart.com/landing?product_id=77565&zipcode_guess=01002

Or Walmart online or Amazon.....

Omg thank you thank you thank you! So I’m not able to order via Walmart or Amazon, it’s showing out of stock and not sure if it will be back but when I clicked your instacart link and entered my zip code it showed that one of my local grocery stores, Price Rite sells it. I’m going this weekend!

Been craving rice so I decided to try something different and made cilantro lime “rice” with the Trader Joe’s chickpea and lentil risoni. Tasted great!

BFF just asked me for the recipe a couple days ago after I dropped off a slice so I made this up for her...which you can benefit from now too...lol:

P.S. You could probably sub the regular sugar with baking-appropriate sweetener and skip the walnuts to lower the calorie count. I've made this a few times already and once I doubled the amount of the cream cheese filling...I thought it made it too sweet, but the fam loved it...

P.P.S. Whats the Protein on that rice dish?

Don't judge me.

I made Congee for the fam tonite (which I don't eat cuz...rice) and was too lazy to make myself something so ended up zapping a bag of microwave popcorn for dinner. Funny how I spend a disproportionate amount of time making food for others vs. myself.

2.5 cups popped with 1/2 tsp of butter: 96 calories. Ate it all.

Same. I'll eat the same thing for like a week, or until it goes bad, whichever comes first.

Yum! We started having movie nights once COVId started. We pop our own popcorn too!
Having one this weekend! I use the movie theatre pop secret. Pretty sure it’s loaded w fat. But I consider it a treat when I do not a regular thing bc it is fatty. Yours looks very healthy!!

Feel like I haven't had a salad in AGES (in reality its probably been about 2-3 days, but that's an eternity for me).

Sooo....today's first meal of the day: A Salad!

Romaine, carrots, cucumber, apples, cheddar, a snack can of Thai Chili tuna, green onions sauteed in soy sauce, + vinaigrette and spices: 218 calories.

The Kid ate out of the same bowl with me, and its all gone, but I figure I ate about 1/3 of it. Going to log it as 1/2 in MFP though (I like to overestimate when I'm not sure 😜).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
