Good morning :)
Nothing specific planned for this morning (maybe getting some groceries), but we are going to look at another house tonight. It's totally not what we had been planning -- small, needs work, sort of in town, but surrounded by farm fields.
QOTD: nothing super planned but Sunday we are going to Moose Winooskis for our friends birthday.
Post-op three years and eleven months.
Breakfast - nut bar
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - chickpea curry
Snack - apple and PB
Dinner - leftover meatloaf
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
Meatloaf:
2 eggs
3/4 cup of milk
3/4 cup bread crumbs (I used Costco croutons and pulsed them in the food processor)
2lbs ground beef
Diced onion (I used one small)
1/2 small can of tomato paste
1-2 tbsp parsley -- I don't know how much because I had some from our "garden"
Salt -- I thought the croutons would be salty enough and I skipped the salt. Oops lol.
Topping:
1/2 can tomato paste
BBQ sauce
Steps:
Mix everything except the meat (and toppings) in a bowl. Fold in the beef until just mixed -- don't over mix :)
Options - you can form the loaf on a baking sheet but I used a loaf pan. The baking sheet version will stay more loafy/dry and the loaf pan version will be a bit more crumbly/wet because the drippings stay in.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Remove and add toppings (I just put them on the meatloaf separately and swirled them together). Return to oven for 10-15 minutes. When done let stand for 10-15 minutes.
**Note of warning -- I am a terrible cook in general so take all directions with a grain of salt. DH confirmed that the meatloaf was delicious but needed more salt.
Now you have me craving Swiss Chalet, lol. My hair came back thicker than it was before surgery. It was very thin for a while.

Ouch for falling on the ice. It is so slippery out there. Canada Post has declared our neighbourhood too dangerous to deliver mail. The streets are icy because of the salt shortage.

Glad you had a good time Ginny. I look for someone to make me a Mimosa every morning. Never happens. Good to have you back.

Good morning everyone. Welcome to your weekend. This morning I'm going swimming, then meeting a friend for coffee, paying some bills and tonight DH and I are going out for dinner and listening to live music.
QOTD: Anyone have any interesting plans for the weekend? I am going to try to talk DH into going to see a movie. I don't care which one, just want to go to the VIP movie theatre, have a Cobb salad and a latte in my movie seat, put my feet up and get lost in the movie (I might even sneak in some low calorie protein popcorn).
The eats today at 4 years 7 months are:
B. Coffee, I love coffee
S. Protein iced coffee after swimming, and more coffee with my friend
L. Scrambled eggs with cheese and a half of an avocado
D. Brisket, salad
S. Protein latte before bed.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Survived the big snowfall here yesterday; I know I live in a country with four seasons and normally love them all - however, this season I am so done with winter! I fell on ice last week and spent my family day weekend resting. But otherwise, I'm still following my plan and trying to get as much walking in as possible.
B: 1 hard boiled egg and sugar free yogurt with 6 raspberries
S: decaf coffee
L: homemade chili (ground beef, beans, hot sauce)
S: Premier protein shake
D: Homemade hamburger with spinach greens, 1 tsp dressing
S: cheese string
Lots of water and all my vitamins
Almost Friday - hurray!!

Hello!!! I'm back, sadly. Although I am looking forward to seeing my pups tonight. We got in (home) this morning at 2:00 am. and yes I was silly enough to come to work. So tired.
Nothing in the fridge for a couple of days so I just stopped and grabbed subway this morning. That is breakfast, snack, lunch, and afternoon snack. Tonight I ordered meatloaf from the local catering company so I should be able to have leftovers of that for tomorrow.
The weather was awesome, nice and warm, and this morning I was looking for someone to make my mimosa.....yeah, that didn't happen, back to reality.
I'll be doing some grocery shopping and meal prepping this weekend for sure.
Take care all!!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Timeline is now 10-13 weeks I think for appointments! So, I suppose I will just wait it out.
I will definitely call for surgery cancellations after I pass my trios though. I am on mat leave and return in September/October, so I hope to have surgery and be recovered by then!
