Sorry to have offended someone by starting and missing previous posts. Don't worry...I won't start again.
QOTD: when it comes to a healthy lunch what?s your go to? Do you lean in on protein first or something else?
I am struggling with lunch. I have been extremely lazy about it and it shows, I?ll have some protein pancakes or something out of the freezer( chicken bites or a pancake on a stick). Sometimes it?s a couple of boiled eggs with cheese.
Good Morning! I had a great weekend and am ready for the busy day ahead. I know it'll be a fast one!
QOTD: Weekdays I usually eat the same thing which is easy and I don't have to think about it too much when I'm prepping for the week. Turkey and cheese sticks for the win!
TSS: 10 years 4 months
B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, oikos yogurt and some fruit
S: A piece of fruit and yogurt
D: Shredded pork(luckily I had enough last week to freeze some)3 net zero carb tortillas, guacamole, Trader Joe's spicy cauliflower rice, a banana, and some junior mints
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 2 miles on treadmill
V/W: On track

Lunch for me is usually whatever is left over from supper the night before. Most meals last me for two or three servings. I try to make a pot of chicken or vegetable soup once a week and portion that out for lunches. It is the easiest way for me to have a meal and I use a lot of meat in my soups so they are high in protein.
We are in for a few weeks of very cold weather and snow. Most of the time in the 20's. The last few years we had little winter weather so this feels strange. I have been experimenting with making bread lately. This weekend I made one with bisquick and beer. It was too sweet and I threw most of it away. Today I am making a whole wheat and oatmeal bread with honey. Whole wheat takes a long time to rise so I will be playing with it most of the day.
My cat has learned fetch and brings me his ball for me to throw it. He wakes me up at night with the ball in his mouth and looks so cute that I have to play with him.
The diet that Teenie posted yesterday has some recipes that look great and I will be making some of those recipes in the next weeks. I am no longer trying to gain weight so will concentrate on getting in protein and lots of good vegetables.
Have a great day everyone.

Good morning, everyone!
Kelly, I hope you had a Happy Birthday and some good family time.
We had a good weekend, everyone liked the Bob Dylan movie, and Marilyn and I watched plenty of football as well.
I did my official post-holiday weigh-in and was 208.8. I was 206.2 before Thanksgiving, so up 2.6 pounds. I don't think that I will make any special plans for the 2.6, but using the continuous blood sugar monitor for the two week cycles will likely help me eat better. Between that and Spring weather, I suspect it will drop back.
QOTD: I like to get a sandwich at Jersey Mikes when I am home. I believe that they also make bowls with no bread, which some on this site eat. A lot of days at work, lunch is brought in.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Sausage
Have a great day, all!

Afternoon gang. Thanks for starting us Melody. It's a thankless job, and I'm glad you do it.
Regular routine here, just the way I like it.
I know a lot of you are getting snow and ice. It's just cold here. It might even be too cold to snow.
QOTD: More often than not I have a Quest bar for lunch. It's an easy go-to, and a controlled serving of calories. If we're out somewhere it's probably a burger.

QOTD- I usually do a half a tuna sandwich on Dave's Killer Bread. I also discovered some tuna pouches lemon pepper, and deli tuna salad 90, & 80 calories with a ton of protein the lemon pepper I just eat out of the pouch, no bread required.
I hurt my back on Christmas eve and haven't truly worked since. I can barely walk, I tried to move a yard debris bin from the street back up to the side of the house. Uphill and the bin weighed more than I do, so I woke up in the morning in excruciating pain. Then when it was starting to feel better I fell on my butt, I was untangling the electric blanket cord from my recliner and lost my balance. So now it hurts even worse. Sitting at my desk is unbearable so I haven't worked much last week. I know it is just muscle pain so no need for the doctor.
The good news is that due to my lack of appetite and bouts of nausea I have lost 5 lbs. So now I'm only 10 from my goal.
Yesterday was my birthday and I got several calls. I was hoping my roommate would make me a cake, not that I need it but he makes a good cake.
Have a great day everyone!
