Total NSV!! I've never heard of citizens of humanity must be a skinny person person thing :-)

Pumpkin seeds-- nope! They rank right up ...here with crabs fro me---far too much work for such a little payoff.

Happy Monday.

I've been obsessing a bit, waiting for some 'magical the shoe of doom' to drop as I move past the 6 month mark. Focus of my obsession has been snacking. I give way too much thought to whats a "snack" vs. a 'meal'; or I'll say I can't eat X cause it a 'snack' food and this is a meal time etc. So in order to get my head in check I'm gonna call everything meals, and have 4 (protein focused) meals/day.

M1: Egg omelette with peppers, & cheese & 1 turkey sausage

M2: Sriracha Chicken Breast & ham wrapped around a cheese stick

M3: Salad with Chicken breast & dressing

M4: Leftovers, either beef stew or turkey breast.

Anyone start thinking about thanksgiving yet? I'm most looking forward to indulging in a slice sweet potato pie. Other wise I'm just making, turkey, greens & yams, ham and stuffing. FAR less than what I would have made in past years!!!

I often do the same thing..I like your solution!

Thanksgiving, last year was just turkey, gravy, a spoonful of mashed potatoes and a spoonful of green beans. I think I had a bite or two of my husbands desserts. This year I'm going to have to be very mindful. My tummy lets me eat much more these days....

That's a great idea!

As for Thanksgiving, I'm getting ready. I've been experimenting with a ricotta bake with pumpkin. I made one this weekend that was just okay, but I have a few ideas to make it better. I found a recipe for Almond Flour Pie Crust and will be trying that out too.

I cook for my whole extended family, so I'll be making the basics, Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed potatoes and a veg. My mom and sis in law will bring something to fill in the blanks.

When I get home I will dig out and send you a great recipe I have for a butternut squash ricotta bake--same basic flavor and oh-so-delicious!

What an awesome NSV AV! I love it when I am reminded of all the hard work I have put into the new me! Today is my 16 month surgiversary and I am going back to basics. October was awful. I slacked on my exercise and my eating was atrocious. I have taken an oath to make it "NO CANDY NOVEMBER" and so far I'm doing great, LOL. I am definitely getting back on the tri training horse and this weekend I ordered a brand new bike!! I'm so excited I'm giddy. Its a triathlon specific bike and it is beautiful (at least to me, lol). I can't wait for it to get here!
