Menus and Miles for Roz - Happy April 1st!!

Hi everyone!  I'll get this started.  Not sure where Roz is at but she's posting on FB, so all is good!

Ended up making a low-carb meatloaf recipe last night - turned out good, a little loose (fell apart) but flavor was good.  One of my recent discoveries is using pork rinds mashed up in lieu of breading/filler.  This recipe called for them and I use them to use as a breading for pork chops, chicken, etc.  It is real good - now eating them alone, ugh....  You also can put a little powdered ranch dressing in with the rinds for dredging and it gives it an even different flavor - but, it can be a little carby that way, but you don't need a lot to get a good flavor.  I also made a low-carb cheesy biscuit using almond flour.  My first attempt ever using it - it was 'ok'.  More of a cornbread texture. 

Today's menu:

B - coffee x2

L - chicken leg

D - not sure but I have a few chicken recipes I'd like to try out.  Also want to make a tomato/burrata salad.

Exercise - 30 minutes elliptical; 10 minutes rebounder; 90 squats and 1 min 40 seconds plank! didn't get to the challenge yesterday :(

Looks good!  I've seen several recipes for bacon wrapped scallops but just haven't made them.  Need to put scallops on my shopping list.

Hi Jody, I purchased the scallops already wrapped in bacon from the grocery store.  All I have do is put them in the oven for 15-20 minutes!  Yummy and easy! :)

Ugh. Got on the scale to find I am the same weight I was a month ago. Darn it! What a struggle to take off the last 10 pounds.

S-1 C. Plain non fat Greek yogurt with 1 Tbl, Torani SF syrup and 1 cup strawberries

L-Panera

S-2 hard boiled eggs

D-Turkey with green beans

S-Premier Protein shake with frozen banana

UGH!  Those last 10 are the hardest.  Looks good! 

Hang in there! Looks like you're doing everything right.

Beautiful day in Kansas City.  Supposed to be 80 degrees.

I see Premier protein shakes on menus here.  I tried the chocolate but didn't care for it.  Are you having vanilla or chocolate.  I would like to find a RTD I like to bring to work.

We went to Logan's last night.  I had a sirloin steak, salad and sweet potato (toppings on the side).  The potato would have fed a family of 4.  No one needs potatoes that large.  I ate a little and took the rest home with my leftover steak.

Today's eats:

B:  Click shake

B 2: Weight Control oatmeal

L: Salad w/sirloin steak, 3 strawberries, vinegarette dressing

S:  Protein powder mixed in ice water - Someone here posted that's how she drinks her protein and I really like it that way.

D:  Roast chicken; sweet potato

I haven't found a RTD drink that I like, plus the quality of protein in them isn't the best (especially for those earlier out).  When I worked in an office after surgery, I'd just mix up mine in a shaker cup and take with me, or take the powder in the cup, add water later then drink. 

Amazing how much food you get when going out!  I went out for dinner a few nights ago to a BBQ place and the person I was with knows my story and how much I eat (even 6.5 years out) but his brother didn't.  I ate a lot, for me, then said I was full.  Got the comment "you're a cheap date" - LOL... but, there was enough food to last 3 more meals, easily - AND we shared!

I like my Nectar's fruity protein in ice water - the fuzzy navel and pink grapefruit.  Chocolate or coffee flavors I like in Unsweetened almond milk. 

I can't do the RTD stuff.  Never found one that didn't taste "off". 

I put a tube of crystal light and a 1/2 scoop of protein powder (Caribbean cooler or lemon tea) in a snack bag and bring my big blender bottle.  If I am gone all day, I mix one before I leave and carry one in the bag.  Works for me.
