What's on your Tuesday menu?

oh wow - that is awful - heart failure and 45 lbs of fluid? I'm glad you recovered!

I wasn't eating because I felt so bad, so my weight was kind of staying the same before I was hospitalized, but i went home much smaller.

CHF is scary - and 45lbs?? That's a small child of fluid. Impressive.

I love your power snatch goal! I really want to get into power lifting (it's always been a goal!).. but it'll have to wait haha!

Thanks, Kales! If you want to do olympic lifting, flexibility is actually more important than strength at first.

How big where you when your heart got the virus. Do you think your obesity heightened the situation? How scary!!!

I'm sure that it made my heart do extra unneeded work, no doubt. But I was only 32 at the time, so in reasonably good health despite my size.

Congrats!!

Mornin' All!

I have one class today, plus an online lecture I want to watch at noon. And a ton of reading to do. I'll also run up to the store since they're predicting another snow storm on Thursday, followed by bone-chilling temperatures (sub-zero). I've made cold start yogurt the last couple of times I've made yogurt, and I want to see if cheapo Aldi's ultra-pasteurized milk works as well as Fairlife. I actually prefer the taste of yogurt made the traditional way, but cold start is so much easier that I'll probably do it a lot from now on. No boiling the milk, no draining the whey - so so much quicker, too. Anyway, I'll need to run over to Aldi's to get some of that milk...if this works just as well as Fairlife, I'll switch over.

QOTD: my mother would say chicken pox, but I was only 4 or 5 years old when I had it, so I don't remember it at all. Honestly, other than a cold pretty much every winter, I almost never get sick. I get the flu maybe once every 10-15 years. I had H1N1 a few years ago when that went around, but it was a very mild case. And I did catch that Australian norovirus when it around around a few years ago (maybe 5 or 6 years ago), and that was awful, but then, it only lasted 24 hours.

B: Fit Frappe, coffee with half & half

MS: pumpkin yogurt topped with light Cool Whip and 1/4 C fiber cereal

L: chicken sausage and a small sweet potato

AS: skinny bagel with whipped cream cheese for sure ****ep saying I'm going to have this, and then never do), L&F yogurt

D: turkey breast slices and a cup of Brussels sprouts casserole

ex: cardio for sure - and maybe a strength-training session

have a great day, everyone!

Good morning! Looking for a busy day today to make it fly by. Yesterday I did a combo of couch potato/working out. Yoga, read the paper, house cleaning, watch the last episode of Bridgerton, lunch, cleaned out 2 drawers, rest. LOL. The day seemed to last forever. My husband was golfing, so it was my first Monday of the year home alone and I just loved it.

QoTD: I've been pretty lucky and rarely very sick. I got the flu a few years ago and was down for the count for a week. My clearest memory of that week is that I had finally decided I was hungry and asked my husband to make me a grilled cheese sandwich. He was happy to do it, but had stepped outside for a minute and got caught up talking with the neighbors. Normally that would have been no big deal, but I was suddenly so hungry, I remember standing in the window watching him, crying because I wanted that grilled cheese. You'd think if I could stand in the window and cry, I could make the sandwich, but my brain was clearly fogged over and I didn't make the connection.

Menu:

B: 2 oz chicken breast 1/4 C cottage cheese

L: 2-3 oz chicken thigh, roasted onions and peppers, 2 oz roasted potatoes, 1 tbd parm white sauce

D: 3 oz Carne Asada, 1/2 C refried beans, grated queso and cheddar

S: Parm crisps/jerky

Peace Everyone!

Crying over cheese. Bet other people who post here have cried over cheese before. I don't even need to be sick to cry over cheese. I am just so lucky I can still eat if because I would be lost without my cheese.
