What cha eating today, VSG'ers? - Saturday
Good morning everyone.
I hope you had a joyful and peaceful Christmas, on plan or off plan! I had my hubby throw away the left over pumpkin pie, so there is hope that I will get back on track today.
I made a few special vegetable dishes for the holidays, thinking it would keep me on track, but my carb monster had a feast on those dinner roles and pumpkin pie. So the veggie dishes will help keep me on track this week. I made roasted cauliflower with balsamic vinegar, pan fried cabbage, garlic green beans and sweet potato casserole. yum...
Breakfast - salmon
Lunch - ham and garlic green beans
Dinner - rotissary chicken and pan fried cabbage
vitamins - good
water - good
exercise - maybe a walk. Its beautiful here today.
So what are you eating today?

Christmas was wonderful compared to Christmases at my high weight. My son and DIL worked their butts off to make a spectacular Christmas dinner, and I was able to say thank you by giving them a break and cleaning up afterward. They were very surprised and happy to hear that! At my high weight, I could have eaten the dinner, no problem, but cleaning up -- no way could my joints have withstood that kind of effort. Today I'm back on my simple foods, and to be frank, I now prefer them to high-fat, high-prep delicacies.
B: Protein coffee
L: 4 pieces spicy tuna sushi
D: Leftover pork w/roasted veg
S: Tangerine, black coffee, gummy vitamins
W&V: On track

I sure can relate to your post. Since I've lost weight, I do the clean up at my son's parties. Before surgery, it was too painful to stand for any length of time. But now its easy, and I'm so glad I can help.
Congratulations on your weight loss success!

Had a wonderful Christmas this year. We were out and about a lot, so we ended up with quite a bit of leftover plan friendly food - lots of chicken marsala, one of our favorites. We saw Daddy's Home this morning, so much fun - it's hard to pass up seeing Mark Wahlberg shirtless, at least for me.
