There is no doubt in my mind that you are going to be successful! Look at what you've just been through...hitting the century club totally doable!

Morning all :)

Tanya, in hindsight I should have renewed my passport with a recent photo prior to the expiry as the photo really did not look like me at all and my son and I were questioned in the Dominican Republic as to my identity and not just once on that particular trip. With it being the government, I am sure there would be a fee attached to do so.

Off to work this morning 'til 4 PM, picking up Teriyaki Experience on the way to my parents' for their next iPad tutorial (I said I'd bring "dinner" lol), not sure what else I'll get up to. I had such a great day at work yesterday, hoping for more of the same today! Have an early meeting so will leave a little earlier to get there in time.

8.5 years post-op

- coffee with cream x 3 over the day -

B - Premier protein shake (chocolate, and I have to say I'm not enjoying it , should have had the vanilla)

S - Greek yogurt, handful of grapes

L - mixed greens salad with 2.5 oz chicken breast, 1 oz mozzarella, a couple of strawberries, sprinkle of sunflower seeds, poppy seed dressing

S - crustless quiche (regular muffin tin size)

D - Teriyaki chicken and veggies, skip the rice

S - this is a total treat - 1 piece of homemade shortbread (Andrew made it and omg, best shortbread ever and I've asked him to find a hiding place for it lol), cup of tea

Have a good one,

K. :)

Thank you Karen for the shoutout, it is good to be home.  I am using a walker and had never realized how small the bathroom is, it's a tight fit to turn around.  

Andrew cooks, OMG you are so lucky.  Your lunch salad sounds divine.  I have never tried Teriyaki experience, but I see coupons all the time.  Have you eaten there before?  Do you think it would be suitable for the weight loss phase?  I know DH will not want to cook and I want to give him options for takeout.

Inaccessible bathroom = full bathroom spa reno! Sounds legit.

He does cook and quite well actually. We cook a lot together. The shortbread is a real treat - I really don't eat sweets/cookies etc. (or refined sugar for that matter) - his Scottish nana's recipe apparently. I don't care whose recipe it is, it's magic and needs to be put away. lol

Teriyaki Experience is a healthier choice - stir fry meat and veggies, go easy on the Teriyaki (sweet/carbs), skip the rice/noodles, and it's fresh and delish.

Enjoy your day at home today! xo

Thank you for the tip, I will be tying that, sounds great.

Karen thanks for your input. I think I am going get a new picture just so there are no questions. Not that I am going anywhere...just some cross-border shopping, but better safe then sorry☺

Good morning everyone!

Good morning Tanya,

We were going on a cruise two years ago and stopping at multiple ports and I did not look anything like my passport. So I re-newed it. The cost is the same as if you had waited. They did want me to write out why I was re-newing early. Yes you will need a new passport picture so it now looks like the new you

Off to work shortly. Nothing happening today.

b egg and bacon

l ham/pea soup, yogurt

s almonds, kraft pudding

d stew, salad

s yogurt with raspberries

fitbit was acting up and could not get my totals. I will do this later

Work and gym today, work off some stress.

b - premier protein shake, xl coffee

l - greek yogurt with blueberries, simply protein bar

d - homemade veggie beef soup with low fat Swiss melted into it, a little chia pudding - chia seeds hydrated in water and nsa coconut cream with sucralose and vanilla added. A little like tapioca pudding in texture, I really like it. Experiment successful!

s - 2 cheese strings, smart for life protein bar

Interesting recipe re. the chia seeds. I've seen many people post about soaking them to create a "pudding" but your recipe actually sounds tasty. lol I'll try it!
