What cha eating today, VSGers? - Sunday

Hi everyone,

In my continuing saga of trying to get back on track, I had a meal before I left for the party last night, thinking I'd avoid the appetizers and make it to the main course.  Well, the party was all appetizers and deserts!  so that didn't work so well. 

So, I'm back to square one, trying to get off the carbs.  sigh

Meeting with a personal trainer today at 2 pm, starting the next phase of my exercise routine. Building more muscle.

It's a gorgeous day here today and we are planning a bike ride along the river.  Here is my eating plan today:

S:  Unjury Chocolate Spendor protein shake

L:  Stopping for lunch on our bike ride - probably seafood

S:  A handful of almonds

D:  BBQ Chicken thigh and maybe some broccoli

I have 15 to 20 pounds to go until I hit goal.  It's going a bit slow at this point, but I know I'll make it!  Make it a great day everyone!

Tomorrow is weigh-in day for me! I am hoping for better results this week than the last two weeks.. I've been so well behaved! Lol =)

I've noticed that you often have salmon for breakfast. What is your favorite way to prepare it? I think starting off your day with such a high protein food is a great idea.

Someone just asked me this a few days ago, so I just copied my response here.  Yes, I find the salmon as a nice way to start my day.

...

I cook it sous vide, which is a French style of cooking where the food is  sealed in a  vacuum-sealed plastic bag, and then submerged in a low temp water bath (140 degrees) for a long time.  It causes the food to cook without losing its moisture or texture due to getting too hot.  Then you'd seer it to give it the right texture on the outside.  I like it for the salmon because it comes out very soft and moist which appeals to me.  I also often cook my chicken sous vide, and then use it in other recipes. 

The sous vide equipment is expensive, and I wouldn't have purchased it, but my hubby get the idea from a friend who was a gourmet chef and he got it.  Its good, but I don't know if I'd replace it if it broke....  not worth the money to me.  But I'm glad to have it now.

best wishes,

Carol

Starting week 4 out needed to go back to some full liquids due to popping some internal stitches.  Real food was making me a bit queasy:

Breakfast: 1.5oz greek yogurt unflavored with 1.5oz unsweet apple sauce, and 5g protein added unflavored (took pills with this)

Snack: Same as breakfast

Lunch: Real treat Baked potato soup 3.5oz with cheddar cheese 1/4 ounce 

Snack: 2.5oz of the soup above

Dinner: Will be 3oz of a green chili chicken soup 

Snack: Yogurt mix as above and take vitamins.  

Water is slow today but everything I'm eating is liquidy too so I'm moving along.  Protein will be a lower today but I'm happy to be feeling hungry rather than queasy.  First day back to work as well so trying to just take it easy and establish times for food and snacks. I'll be more creative soon.
