Nope, I didn't make it... A local farm near me sells premade meals with ingredients from the farm, so I grabbed it this weekend. I'll post the ingredients when I'm home tonight!
That would be so awesome! I can come up with a recipe if I have ingredients :)

never thought to look at it as getting an extra hour of sleep, thanks for turning my frown into a smile! LOL LOL And ya for sleeping in (when you can!)
For real your answer is like how did I not think of that... I totally over buy or buy the wrong food when I out by myself at the grocery store. Why do I do that to myself? Its stuff I can't or won't eat! You are right its a bad cycle.
Stuffed cranberry chicken sounds amazing!! I might need to google that and figure out how to make it at home!
Good morning Daisy and menu crew. I am not a fan of daylight savings either. Had a great night, ate a little candy...but hey....didn't hurt me and I do not feel like I need more today. I stopped at a couple of pieces, I feel it is important to know your body and mind and adjust accordingly.
QOTD - I feel that I am both. When I am stressed I need to exercise, I will walk at work, I will get busy at home or go to the gym. If I am bored , I need to get moving at home, I will pace until I find something to do. The other day I was bored so I was folding laundry and I do not usually do that....LOL....My wife was happy though. I find as long as I keep moving, the urge to eat passes and I am fine.
B - Protein bar
S - Caramel applie pie yogurt
L - Baked cod in garlic butter
S - Buddig ham and cheese
D - Chili - made a big pot last night!
Exercise - Gym night.
Stay healthy my friends, Mike

That is really awesome Mike that you can eat a bit of candy and not be tempted to eat more the next day, that's a big win! And its great you know your body so well.
You and I are quite similar, I need to exercise when I am stressed too, or I get into a cleaning and puttering frenzy LOL It makes a huge difference for me if I am busy how much I don't need or want to snack or eat. So glad you are doing so well with all this post WLS "stuff!!"
LOL I bet your wife was happy you were folding laundry, that's a nice treat for her!
Great menu, I am totally jealous of your caramel apple pie yogurt, I have had it and its yummy!
Keep up the great work my friend!
I am an emotional eater for sure--any emotion makes me want to eat. Happiness,sadness,stress,anger,boredom,just about anything makes me feel the urge to eat. What I do instead is move:clean closets,clean kitchen cupboards,take a walk,garden,read,knit or if all else fails drink a cup of decaf coffee. I've even been known to brush my teeth to get the urge to eat to leAve. Post op 4 years 2 months and weight at 117 today. Lily and I got our 3 plus miles in already ND I am heading to the laundromat next. Here's the food plan for today B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter added L 1 c chili and cheese D 31/2 oz chicken 1/2 c broccoli S mission one chocolate chip cookie protein bar . Have a great day everyone and make some amazing choices !
I do the toothbrushing thing too - cleanest teeth in town! I like your ideas re keeping busy. So many things I enjoy (reading, computer, movies) are sedentary and I'm trying to increase my repertoire on active activities. Cleaning/organizing is something I can do anytime so I could even add in short bursts of that until my endurance/stamina improves.
