What cha eating today, VSGers? - Saturday

Hi All,

I hope you are having a warm, pleasant morning on this chilly fall day.

I'm continuing to maintain my weight, eating healthy, but I can't seem to make the push to actually lose weight.   its been a stressful time, so I'm cutting myself a little slack here. We have to "Just keep swimming" as Dorrie would say ("finding Nemo" reference for anyone who is not into children's videos )

breakfast - salmon, yum.

Lunch - orange flavored chicken on a bed of spinach - also yum

Dinner - buffalo chicken spaghetti squash

snack - finish the crack slaw from a few days ago

Have a good day, all.

Carol

E not today

Just back from a week in Iceland, the land of geysers, hot springs, glaciers, snow-covered mountains, austere land- and seascapes, and absolutely delicious food. I stayed away from the notorious fermented shark, but had delicious fish chowders, whale steak, and brennevin ****land's signature liqueur, locally known as The Black Death). Fresh vegetables and fruit were not plentiful, logical given Iceland's 40-day growing season. So I went for the seafood protein and lots of it. Lost half a pound upon arriving back home.

B: Coffee w/cashew milk

L: Roast chicken breast w/homemade Italian minestrone (sans pasta and potatoes)

D: Scrambled egg, more minestrone

S: Apples

W&V: On track

Iceland's beautiful volcanic landscape

Me in Reykyevik, thinking about my next Icelandic fish dinner.
