Hi Folks.  Still trying to work my program.... things are looking up as I'm taking positive action now-not just talking about it!

Morning:  1/2 Protein Coffee.

Breakfast:  One scrambled egg w/ 1/2 oz. Provolone and 1/4 cup roasted red peppers.  So good.

Lunch:  4 oz. boiled shrimp w/ some lettuce and 2 Tbsp. ****tail Sauce.

Snack:  Hard boiled egg.

Supper:  4 oz. boneless Beef Ribs Cauliflower w/ Cheese Sauce.

Snack:  S/F popsicle. 

Totals:  Calories: 880   Carbs:  34   Protein:  83 

Water:  64 oz.

Vitamins:  Not complete...have to fill up my Pill Holder with all my meds and vitamins.  That's a major project, and I know I'm missing some so I'll have to go to drug store tomorrow.

Going to make some homemade Yogurt in my Instant Pot.  Recipe is for plain Greek Yogurt... I'll break it down into fourths:  1/4 plain for cooking; 1/4 w/ S/F Raspberry flavoring and Equal; 1/4 w/ S/F Pistachio Pudding (first time trying this); and the last 1/4 w/ canned Pumpkin, Cinnamon and Equal -- my current favorite flavor!

I need to figure out WLS meal planning for one better.  I cook too much of single meals and then get bored.

Bought a turkey for myself (50 cents a pound!) and I'm defrosting it to make roast turkey for many low carb meals.  I'll be using the carcass after to make bone broth.  I also continued the process of decluttering my apartment - tossed three bags of stuff today.  How did I get all this crap?!

Meal #1: Cottage cheese w/30g protein from protein powder.

Meal #2: Unbelievably I still have all this chicken >.> Hopefully it will be gone after today.

Meal #3: Continuation of the chicken which never ends.

I think that would be very hard to cook for one. I get bored easily with the same meal. I freeze leftovers for lunches and other meals if I have any which is not too often.

It is tricky.  I may just start freezing portioned meat and buying sides/spices to change it instead of whole meals.  We'll see how that goes with the Turkey.  I spent $8 on a 16 pound one so if it doesn't work out I won't chastise myself too much.

I did used to do freezing of individual meals, but for some reason they were giving me an upset stomach.  Maybe it's psychosomatic, as other leftovers were fine.  It may just be best for me to cook smaller to avoid boredom and annoyed tummy.

I'm doing a financial food challenge where I eat everything in the house before I buy groceries again, so hopefully that will help me habituate back to it, too.
