Omg I love those!! Cute! Did you make these?

No, I cannot take credit, but ms.sss certainly could!!! I told the bakery to just surprise me. When I picked them up - they called them little Sophie smiling faces! Haha. Breakfast this morning with a cupcake. The rest were frozen or given as Valentine's gifts... Fun!

Yea looked super cute!!
Breakfast looks good. Since my sleeve I can’t eat eggs anymore. Boo
Makes me sick to my stomach, same w any milk products Ex yogurt, ice cream which is good. I never eat those. Haven’t had ice cream in almost 4 years.

lunch today. Made chicken salad with leftover roasted chicken past weekend. Hubby finished the rest for a snack. And, Bobby in flight! Like me - he loves a good pork chop! Haha.

@Kris77 have you tried any of the lactose free products? I use a lactose free milk but am fine with yoghurt & cheese (something to do with the cultures/bacteria which can make them easier to digest I believe 🤷🏻‍♀️). But I gurgle heaps more when I have milk & yoghurt. There are coconut & nut versions of most dairy products if you want to explore because you know life is better with cheese. 😁

Sorry about your struggles with eggs though ☹️.

My not being able to eat ice cream is a good thing. I don’t even miss it anymore. cheese I love and yogurt but don’t eat either bc they make me bloated. Plus they mainly cheese is pretty fattening so I’m good w not having it anymore
But good to know there are other versions of them. I knew this about yogurt but not about cheeses though.
I pretty much eat a lot of the same things over and over. I love love salads so that’s my go to for lunch every day.

The bloating is likely from the lactose @Kris77. I eat on repeat a lot too. But it makes things easier because I don’t think as much about food & what I’m going to eat. cheese is often my go to when out socialising with friends. You can always guarantee there’ll be cheese at social events. It’s not an every day food & I’m not going to eat a wheel of Brie … though it’s so yummy I think I could 😉.

Turkeys and cheese sandwich w/carrot “chips”

 

I’m still loving the Aldi zero carb bread and only need one slice as a serving which is a good thing because there was a price increase

Post Valentine’s Day picture dump of the goodies I brought into work. I also made Reese’s stuffed Peanut Butter brookies and lemon poppyseed pound cake that I didn’t get a picture of. -cheesecake brownies, “mint to be” Cookies, snickerdoodles, Valentine’s Day white chocolate fudge, salted caramel fudge, and hot chocolate fudge.

I’m a fan of trying new meats. Camel, bison, deer, duck, lamb, cow tongue, and rabbit are all things I’ll definitely eat again. I’ll have to redo the emu though because I think it might’ve been the way it was cooked. And if I ever want to try alligator I only have to drive south.

I finally found the Aldi Keto bagels!
They are not nearly as dense as regular Bagels and I don’t mind because I still cannot eat dense breads.

Can only claim ownership to about 5% of this salad. It was leftover from a lunch with my sister in law: a Mediterranean bowl. Halloumi, hummus, chick peas, grilled zucchini & carrot, roasted sweet potato, dukkha, cucumber, Tomato, spinach & pea shoots. I added the diced chicken to the leftovers for dinner. Damn yummy.

I’ve been on a salad and smoothie kick lately. When I went to the store hungry yesterday I bought like a dozen premade salads and the stuff to make more. 🤷‍♀️

Today’s smoothie- spinach, kale, strawberries, almond milk and Protein Powder. Then there’s chicken caeser salad, my fruit and veggies box, a cheese stick, 2 Protein Drinks, a mushroom and havarti cheese omelette, a granola bar, 2 wasa crisps, Peanut Butter, and a sugar free energy drink.  

This one is from Saturday- pineapple, kale smoothie with Protein powder, Caesar salad, fake chicken and onion stir fry, pork fried rice, hot and sour Soup, seaweed Snacks, 2 protein drinks, wasa crackers, peanut butter, and a granola bar.

Just noticed my post said it was a Mediterranean bowl. Let’s try middle eastern - damn auto correct.

Mash potatoes with teriyaki braised mushrooms. This is my portion and I believe it’s right around 1 cup of food.

That fact that I even cooked made this a miracle meal. Anyone else tired of being the head chef?

More salad!

From yesterday: The Protein is fried-up leftover Swedish meatball “meat batter” that didn’t fit on the tray of formed balls (later tonight i’ll post a pick of THAT 🤞🏼)

394 calories. Ate the contents of whole bowl throughout the day.

(Lightly) Teriyaki chicken w/ mashed potato and mixed vegetables. About 3/4 cup of potato, 1tbsp of veg and 3 oz of chicken. I decided to not finish because I was bored with it 😂
