A nightmare before Christmas tote bag, this landscape with gold glitter, a watercolor city skyline, and these super fun pants.

I eat alot of salads. All my salads look pretty much the same. So here's something a little different: a pic of the mise en place instead, lol.

Romaine, vinaigrette, carrots, cucumbers, apples, kimchi, cheddar, smoked oysters, salami w/ prosciutto slices: 368 calories.

Ate a bit more than 1/2, will eat the rest later, unless someone in the fam gets to it first.

Another day of packed meals.

Green smoothie this time with kale, spinach, unsweetened almond milk, strawberries and chocolate Protein Powder

a cheesy broccoli spinach Soup I threw together in the instant pot while making the kids dinner (they had Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets). Have to say the soup reminds of the ooze from the TMNT secret of the ooze movie from the 90’s

an egg white with furikake and American cheese on an everything bagel thin

Protein Shakes, chocolate almonds, seaweed Snacks, a Protein Bar, freeze dried tangerines, and a beef broth packet

my exercise calories look off because it doesn’t account for the fact I sleep during the day and do most of my walking and stuff at night. I’ll break even before i clock in at work.

How does everyone pull this Soup off so effortlessly?!? Every time I have tried to make it the ingredients separate into layers like an archeological excavation site.

I’m ready to contribute! Almost. I’m in the soft food stage (surgery September 17th). I was going to take a b/a pic of my tuna fish, but then I found a bone in it, so obviously I can’t eat that now. (I feel bad about not being able to eat it, I really do).

Thanks for the thread! Looking at all the lovely meals has really helped me during this early stage!

Nutritional yeast, less cheese than recommended and an immersion blender.

Didn't get around to eating my salad leftovers from yesterday so am eating it now. Added a bit more ham, a half can of smoked oysters and a couple tbsps of seafood sauce.

Since I logged the whole salad yesterday, am just logging the stuff I added to it today: 176 calories.

I'm looking at it now and doubt I will eat it all, and will probably toss what I don't eat (the romaine is not as crisp as I want it to be). We shall see.

Woke up at the crack of dawn this morning (probably earlier than that, actually).

It was raining so couldn't go for a run, and there was nothing interesting to watch on TV, so .... I baked a pie.

Last time I baked a pie I subbed almost all the sugar with Monk Fruit, and though the fam couldn't tell the difference, they asked that the next time I baked a pie, I use real sugar. Jeez.

Which means one serving of this CARAMEL APPLE PIE (i.e,. 1/8 of the pie below) is 350 calories. I'm going out for drinks with the gal pals tonight so I'm gonna pass on pie today. I'll have a sample if there is any leftover tomorrow. The house smelled AWESOME though.

P.S. Full disclosure: I used pre-made pastry from the grocery so its not 100% homemade. Shhhhhhh...

      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 🤢).
