What are you eating doing this morning
Good morning all. Beautiful day out there.Barb must still be having trouble with her internet
I was going to do a lot of cooking today but will go for a long walk this afternoon instead. Going to church this morning. I have been looking for a good recipe for short ribs. They appear to be in two camps. Either tomato based or wine based. I want to throw them in the crock pot so need to make a decision soon. I am having trouble thinking about food this morning so this is all I have so far
B 2 eggs, bacon
S yogurt
L chili,
D short ribs, salad
Cal 859 carb 37.5, prot 67
Did over 13, 000 steps yesterday. Hope to do a lot today as well.
Hi Pat, I was just coming here to start this now that I have my meals planned, and you started it already! :) It IS a gorgeous day outside, isn't it? I might hop on my bike for a bit today, depending on how windy it is. Looks like I should do it this morning if I do it, since the wind will be picking up this afternoon. I can't wait for spring! If I don't bike, I'll try to walk.
No recipe for short ribs, sorry - if you find one, can you post it, though? I just got a crock pot a couple of weeks ago and would love a good recipe! I made a killer beef stew last week - the only thing I'd change is to add a lot more beef, since we had a lot of leftover gravy once I had fished the meat out. LOL. (Hubby didn't complain - he loved the gravy part as much as the rest!)
Today I'm continuing to do work in the house - I was doing that most of the day yesterday, and planned nothing, and as a result, I did graze a bit here and there, but I didn't do anything too terrible food-wise. Today, I have the master plan together! Woke up later than usual, so it throws my meal and snack timings off a bit, but that's okay, I'll get it on track. Planning to make a super-duper lasagna today, brimming with ground beef and Italian sausage. A treat for hubby, and the excess meat means I can eat a substantial portion, avoid most of the noodles, and still feel full afterwards.

No, I didn't. I opened the door this morning to put some recycling on the porch and thought, there's no way in hell I'm riding a bike in this cold today! But I will go for a walk. I have to pick up a couple of lbs of ground beef for my lasagna...

I am pre-op
Late getting up so it will be brunch for me :0) Going to the gym this morning and doing my groceries as well. Up to 16km of cycling per week from 6km when I started biking again. I find the cross-Canada trail challenge has really motivated me. Lately I have been liking some time in the sauna after my workout. Just sit in there with a book and it is so nice when it is cold outside. Intend to take a nice hot bath tonight. Next week will be a long week as I will be working on the weekend, so I am trying to fill up my tank as best I can this weekend.
Brunch - sf low carb high protein pancakes with sf walden syrup (1st time trying new hope brand - 13 g protein)
S - 2 packs funcheez
D - ham steak with broccoli
S - sf low carb cinnamon raisin toast with cream cheese
Drinks: crystal light, decaf tea, water
cals: 1280, carb: 32, protein: 73
Have a nice day everyone!
Update: the pancakes were amazing!!!
