Are those scones?

Yes, fresh cranberry and orange scones hubby made Thanksgiving morning. Had a bite, delish! He needed to freeze them, though, just tooooooo tempting sitting on the counter. Haha! Did you have a nice Thanksgiving with family and BF?

I bit the bullet and spent $5 on a head of lettuce (five effing dollars!). I wasn’t buying them at their currently inflated price just on principle, but I caved this morning.

Ta-da! Finally, a proper salad! 206 calories.

I swear I probably had something close to food orgasm digging into it.

I cant wait to digest what’s in my tum and feel a little less full so I can eat the rest of it!!

You are still worth the investment! Why such spikes? Transport? Covid? Groceries here have tripled across the board. A quick run in for only a few things is over $100.00 now! The better quality you chose to eat aka fresh fruits, veggies, grass feed meats, organic eggs, etc. AND no cheap processed stuff...the more you pay. Just shows how broken the USA food pyramid and food system is! Obesity, fast food + junk food seem to be celebrated via policy! Egregious, really. Joining you for our mutual $ 25.00 salad. Haha!

@Sophie7713 thats a FEAST! Did you and Mr.Sophie have some help eating all that?!?!

Oh, I wish we did. Lots of leftovers... I tried to prepare moderate amounts but often hard to cook for just two. Hubby did deliver some of his scones to a few neighbors. And, we have that other thigh left for tonight's dinner along with sides for the weekend. Bobby had a few nibbles, too. The boys resting after the said feast! Haha. ;]

OH YUM! My favorite cut. So tender and juicy. Made Mr. Sophie's favorite cauliflower salad this morning to help combat the delectables he's indulged over holiday ie. gingerbread Cookies, scones and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Had a few nibbles, too. The first bite of a baked good sweet since WLS. This December 17th marks my 2nd WLS anniversary!!! Yay. So very hopeful to move forward from Covid crisis setbacks in 2020... Onward to '21 - '22 with my new clothes, a healthy lifestyle and fresh start on life! Aren't you all too?!

Keto turkey pot pie. Crustless for me and with crust for hubby. Ate everything I put on my plate and regretted it. Tasty, but too much food 🤢

hubby loved his with the crust.

I can’t stop making guacamole (thanks to costco, who has been having avocados on sale for weeks!)

Baked & seasoned pita (equivalent to 1/4 a pita) and homemade Guacamole (about 1/4 cup): 134 calories

Ate it all!

I also can’t stop baking brownies!! This is the 4th batch I’ve made in the past week and a half (btw, batch #3 was a bit of a fail...accidentally put in crispy fried onions...but that’s another story, lol)

Anyhoo, here is a pic of today’s batch: Roasted Cashew and Skor bits Fudge Brownies. I made it with real sugar and everything.

I ate one 1x1inch square piece: 159 calories

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
