Good afternoon,

I was naughty today, I stopped by the ice cream shop after visiting Sams club.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

s ice cream cone

L tuna, cottage cheese and watermelon

D steak, green beans and watermelon if needed

Have a good day

Hello menu friends.

Accountability: My menu changed yesterday. I ended up with 3 of my nieces last night and took them out to supper, 2 out of 3 wanted Mexican food. I ate three chips with salsa and I ate 1 shrimp taco with no tortilla. I also drank 1 skinny Margarita.

I also swapped out the egg salad for a beef jerky steak. I was running errands and did not make it home to eat before leaving to meet my nieces.

For some reason this morning the scale dropped 1.6 pounds, I had already got myself prepared to possibly see a slight gain or at very least no loss. I was definitely surprised to see the nice loss.

QOTD: I was not using protein shakes too much after I got on solid food until I started mixing salted caramel protein powder into my decaf iced coffee. I love the flavor it adds. I use 1/2 Scoop per 2 cups of coffee (50 calories and 11 g protein).

Today's Menu:

B - Iced coffee with 1/2 Scoop protein powder, SF creamer

B2 - Shrimp with ****tail sauce

L - Spinach salad, tuna pouch, Light buttermilk ranch dressing

D - 3.5 oz. Tilapia, Spinach salad, 1/2 serving light buttermilk ranch

S - Empie's egg salad

S2 - Iced coffee with 1/2 Scoop protein powder, SF creamer

Long day for me today - working nights all weekend so I have to stay up until 5 am today, so I can sleep all day tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone!!

Edited to add totals.

I swear to the diet gods, that my body responds to the occasional (monthly?) margarita with SALT on the rim to boot - by dropping a few pounds. I'm not daring to test this, but it has been a thing.

How the body works is definitely a mystery...lol

Good afternoon menu family!

QOTD: I have developed an appreciation for the RTD shake. I've been using the Pure Protein "Frosty Chocolate" shake almost daily to help bump me up over my protein requirements. Also, thanks to you folks, I've learned how to make the slurry of warm water and protein powder for use in hot beverages. I'm loving it! Vanilla Elevation Protein Powder (Aldi's) in my Stash brand Green Chai tea is really delicious! The hyper sweet flavor which is generally a big turn off works in the Chai! I'm going to try the chocolate PP in my next coffee...

Accountability: Today I had a work meeting at lunch and I ate half a slice of a dark chocolate layer cake. It was hard proof that I don't have dumping syndrome as I experienced no physical discomfort. I did experience, and continue to experience, significant self-loathing.

Tonight I drive back up north for dinner at the farm, then on to the apt where I'll work remote tomorrow. I'll be continuing to pack up my apartment in Akron which is extra stressful as I don't have a place of my own down here in Cbus, so were to store it all??? I plan to pick up tubs at Lowe's that I can (hopefully) label and then store in the basement at the farm. I never expected that at fifty I'd be so foot-loose.
