What's on your Wednesday menu?

Good morning ~ We are at the halfway mark of the week! Yesterday was a blur of busy, that seems to be the way most of the time lately. Too much to do and not enough time. I'm nearing burnout, or maybe I passed it but I'm in denial? I can handle difficult things, people, crazy schedule, plus a commute but I'm starting to think its not worth the MH drain so I need to figure that out. My foot is 'okay' as long as I keep icing and wearing good shoes. I'm one bad shoe choice away from it coming fully back, so this is my life for a bit. All this to say that I was so tired/distracted yesterday after work that I forgot about my planned weight workout, ate dinner and fell asleep watching TV right after. Ah, but that step count - me marching around for the last 800 before I would let myself go to bed!! Today I have 2 meetings, reports and hopefully time to get organized and shake off some stress.

QOTD: Special occasions aside, do you eliminate or restrict any food or food group from your daily plan? What about specific dangerous for you foods? I had eliminated carbs for years, more like decades - or I tried to, and it would always bite me with an eventual binge. I work hard playing MFP food tetris to include my favorite carbs in my plan like potatoes and fruit as long as I meet my protein, fiber and calorie goals. It's made a huge difference in my food noise. Some of my most dangerous foods I cannot have in moderation are Gardetto's snack mix, Omega trail mix and cheese puffs. I'm can't stop eating them so they are banned from the house.

Accountability - great, 48 active minutes, 10,059 steps. I'm 167.2 today, 30 minuts done on the treadmill and a make-up weight/resistance workout after work!

b- coffee, legendary pastry

l- chicken, mini green goddess salad kit

d - pork chop and asparagus

s - jerky, apple

Have a great day!

Good Morning! I feel you on the burn out and hope each day gets better. I have some frustrations about some process flows that I need to have a meeting with my boss about but I haven't found the right way to verbalize it yet so for now I'm making notes so I can set up a meeting. I am glad what you're doing for the plantar fasciitis is working and great job on the hitting your step goal.

QOTD: Like you, I attempt to minimize carbs whi*****lude the yummy sugary ones like donuts, cookies, pies and cake. I also haven't had soda since surgery. If I have things like cheez its, cereal, etc in the cupboard I have a "handful" here and there but of course those add up so unless it's John's I've been trying to just keep them out.

TSS: 10 years 2 months

B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange

L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit

S: A piece of fruit and yogurt

D: Turkey burger on keto bun, maybe green beans tonight, a banana, and some junior mints

ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast

E: 1/2 hour elliptical, 1 mile on treadmill and 20 mins Pilates bar

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1228 Protein:125 Carbs:127 Fat:40

Have a great day!

I prefer to have my thought in order before having such conversations, too. Thankfully, most of Rob's foods aren't appealing to me but I sometimes struggle with his potato and tortilla chips - they taunt me!

I empathize with not knowing how to phrase it yet. I'm currently in a similar situation with my new landlord re not hosing down his paralyzed dog's excrement remains from the back paved path.

Forgot about minimizing carbs. I can't have bread in my house. When I buy it, I usually end up throwing it away. I do 1/2 bagel often, though.

Oh yeah, that's a tough one. I also don't like conflict or potential conflict so I trend to avoid it if I can- not always the best way to handle though.

It's funny figuring out what things you can have in the house and what you can't...for example, now and even before WLS, I could have pints of ice cream and they would be untouched/barely touched so long they would get freezer burned...but have me bring in the TJ's hold the cones or an ice cream sandwich and I will eat all of them in 5 minutes and be sick Other things, I know if they are available to me, I won't crave them....I always have a good chocolate bar or 6 in the fridge, knowing I could have one if I want it, they last forever and I didn't buy any GS cookies this year because I still had them in the freezer from the prior GS season. They are still in the freezer, just in case.

On the flip side of that, I bought some jalapeño cheese curds from a cheese place in Wisconsin and I won't be buying the again. Apparently I've transferred the "the sleeve is a serving" approach from thin mints to the jalapeño cheese curds. no one needs an entire packet of delicious cheese curds. I have one left and it will be the last!

I have the same problem with the Garlic cheese curd from Aldi. Especially at room temp when they squeak.

To this day, I've never had a cheese curd, not one! That is probably a good thing because I can see the writing on the wall! I've come around to the keeping some things available and they have lost their appeal. I've had a candy bowl on the counter at home and in my office since last Halloween for that very reason. It's amazing how rarely I eat one! I could not do the same with GS cookies though!

I still fantasize about breaking into your house and cleaning up the freezer by stealing your GS cookies and all your icecream.
I had to google what cheese curds are, but anything that has jalapeño and cheese in it will get my approval.

I can tell you guys aren't from Wisconsin - cheese curds are a huge thing here!
