What are you eating/doing today? (Monday)

Good morning lovely menu peeps. Had one of those nights where you toss and turn so I decided to sleep in a little. This morning I'm going to yoga, then work on that mountain of laundry that I barely made a dent in yesterday.

The eats today at 2.5 years post-op are:

Large volumes of decaf

Scrambled eggs with fresh salsa and hot peppers (the heart wants what the heart wants)

Salad with Bolthouse Cilantro/Avocado dressing and steak

The same salad as above with shrimp

SKYR yogurt with all the fixin's

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning :)

I'm scared of this snow storm that's coming... Thankfully my brother is here to help shovel ;)

Took puppy 1 to the groomers today, so she will be all spiffy. She loves going but the last two times she has put the brakes on when we got there.

Later I have a doctor's appointment. Might try to have a nap in between.

Breakfast - protein shake

Snack - carrots and pb

Lunch - ham sandwich

Snack - yogurt, pepperette

Dinner - pork and veg

Snack - pudding

All water and vits.

Well post tooth extraction I'm back to regular foods, though I'm not sure I'm supposed to be but I can't take the soft foods any more. Not looking forward to the snow storm coming today. My turn to do daycare pickup so will have to leave an hour and a half early probably (based on the last time).

939 calories 85g carb, 9g fat, 99g protein 26g fiber

will end up between 3-3.5 litres of water and all my vitamins.

Please tell me how you make your Thai shrimp salad.

it is easy and soo good

dressing:

1 1/2 tsp of rice vinegar

1/2 tsp of water

1 rounded tablespoon of PB2

1 tsp of soysauce

1 squirt of liquid Splenda (small squirt)

That makes 1 serving

I keep a bag of chopped nappa cabbage in the fridge. It keeps for longer than lettuce

I use Nappa cabbage, red peppers, green onions, cucumbers and cilantro. I top with 3 oz of shrimp...I buy the precooked frozen shrimp from costco and just thaw in a little warm water while I'm prepping the salad. it is easy quick and delicious! top with some peanuts if you want. I watch my fat intake, but if you aren't add 1/2 tsp of sesame oil to the dressing to make it even better.

Forgot to put the Splenda in the recipe...edited now...

Good afternoon everyone

Not feeling as awful today as I have been so antibiotics must be working.

I have been sleeping so much better since surgery, it amazes me, I was never able to sleep more then 4 hours and now I'm getting 7 or 8 without having to go from my bed to my recliner due to back pain, with that said I totally slept in today, now I'll feel off track for the day lol

Going out walking this evening (I've been walking with a friend who has designated me to helping her lose weight and get active) I'm aiming for 5K as I do this comfortably
