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!

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.

lunch today: cheesy white bean skillet (beans, marinara, mozzarella, and eggs). I ate the serving on my plate (1/3 of skillet) with a bit of arugula. About 300 kcals. 😋

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

      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!!
