Harriet Vane Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I have been out of town enjoying our annual family thing with dh's sister's family. So thrilled that my grown-up kids could come with their significant others. Food has been an interesting mishmash. I'll give a general summary. Breakfast--eggs and white tea with rose, sometimes also fruit. Always a good option, though I've been limited eggs to once or twice a week, so I went over my limit. Still, eggs are not junk food, so I am fine with this. Lunch--either dinner leftovers or organic lunch meat with gf crackers, fruit. So far, so good. Dinner--Each of our dinners has been healthy and gluten free and dairy free. Burrito bowls one night, bison burgers another night, and grilled chicken another night. Tonight the rest of the family ordered pizza. There was nothing gf available, so I ate leftovers from the fridge. Snacks--Not great. Dd went to some effort to bring me some gf and df treats from the vegan cafe she's been working at this summer, bless her. Those are healthier than processed, packaged treats, but still high in sugar. And throughout the whole extended weekend the whole group has had cookies or chips as snacks or accompaniments to meals. For me, it's been less than what the others were eating but more than what I want or what is healthy. I fell into the trap of feeling deprived as others were eating abundantly, especially on pizza night, Pizza was the hardest thing for me to give up for my gluten and dairy intolerance. While I can honestly say my dd is enthusiatic in her support of the dietary changes I've had to make, I don't like to fuss or draw attention around the rest of the group. When I vacation just with dh, I am better at sticking to the plan. I'll have one more disrupted day this week when I take ds back to university, but my plan is to eat a solid breakfast at home, plan for Panera or Chipotle for lunch, and bring along a snack pack of gf crackers and nuts and fruit. Perhaps a flavored tea will help me feel as though I have treats, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Wednesday was a travel day since I was moving in ds to university, and I didn't buy any stupid junk food at any gas stops. Gold star for me. Breakfast--Dh cooked up eggs and sausage. Had a quarter of a grapefruit also. Lunch--Panera Mediterranean grain bowl. Snack--Starbucks oatmilk espresso and a small fry. The espresso was to be awake enough to drive, and the fries were to hold me over when I realized a friend hadn't planned on my being there for dinner. I wished I had made tea at home as I often do. Dinner--I got home at 10pm and slammed down some leftover gf gnocchi with sauce. Thursday Breakfast--Sauteed potatoes with just bits of breakfast sausage for flavor. More and more I find I am happy eating potatoes, no eggs. Lunch--Oat bran muffins, cherries. Snack--Had a handful of corn chips with salsa. Dinner--chicken and rice and mixed veg, falafel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Friday Breakfast--Grabbed a peach on my way to work out. Lunch--Dolmathes (rice wrapped in grape leaves with a lemony sauce), one falafel, cherries Snack--dark chocolate, just two squares. Dinner--Polish sausage from the natural food store. While it was definitely healthier because it didn't have nitrates and such, it didn't have much flavor either.

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Was at summer camp from Sunday through Thursday. Food was tricky since I was being gluten free. (We were informed of needing to provide our own cook 11 days before camp so I just said that I would provide my own gf alternatives.). Anyway- had something to eat at every meal whether it was from my stash or part of the standard menu. NONE of it was low calorie. Lost a pound (we’ll see if that holds!). Friday- breakfast- keto blueberry cinnamon nut granola, coconut yogurt lunch- scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions and mixed greens, cheddar cheese, 1/2 flaxseed muffin, chocolate squares dinner- cobb salad with romaine lettuce, avocado, bacon, hard boiled egg, tomatoes, salmon, scallops, prawns; one scoop vanilla ice cream with some caramel topping hard boiled eggs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a stir fry with snow peas and quinoa. I really wanted some broccoli and carrots in there but was tired 🙂 Moving along here-- feeling renewed motivation-- as seeing oneself in fluorescent lighted dressing rooms does to a person. I am relatively thin but not as lean as I like. I feel for my time and amount of hard work exercising the results aren't near as visible as I'd like. Being honest with myself I've had for more indulgences than in the past. Stress and busyness the primary culprits and then it becomes about habits and taste buds. However, on the plus side I seem to have broken my addiction to chocolate. I had some yesterday. I think I last had some over a month or so ago. It was just so-so. Now, I have had some on things like dark choc melted on my homemade protein bars but not my usual choc after lunch. So, that is progress. Every day is a new day. before workout: berries/homemade muesli -- with extra pepitas/nf plain greek yogurt after workout; high protein pumpkin waffle (eggs/lf cottage cheese/pumpkin/oats) drizzle honey l: crispy baked tofu; quinoa/snow pea/broccoli/carrot stir fry-- homemade sauce (leftover from last night) s: homemade protein bar d: still working on menu we have a meeting at 6 so dinner will be on the late side for us 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be working late, so I'm also planning for some popcorn later with more tea. Dinner--Planning for a kale salad with white beans and various veg. I'll probably throw in some gf flatbread as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Friday Breakfast--Grabbed a nectarine on my way out to exercise. Lunch--Tuna salad (tuna, almonds, green peppers, onions, mayo) on gf crackers, grapes. Snack--Tea (S), grapes, dark chocolate with mixed nuts Dinner--Bunless burger patty smothered with veg (onions, mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes), also some fries. Rooibos tea (NS) Looking over the day, I think the combination of mayo at lunch plus a burger patty (though it was only one, thin patty) as well as fries at dinner is probably too much unhealthy fat in one day. Portion control was excellent, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I am joining. I really need to start thinking about what I eat. These last couple of months have been rough and I have grabbed the easiest thing I could. I have had stress levels where I didn't even want food (very high!) and stress levels where all I wanted was cheesecake (high). I am trying to decide what will work for me that isn't super restrictive but will hold me accountable. I am leaning towards a mix between weight watchers and making sure I don't eat processed foods, maybe more Mediterranean. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also helpful to spot patterns and trends, and I appreciate seeing what others are doing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Sunday Breakfast--low-sugar granola and a banana and decaf tea (NS) Lunch--Yesterday dh grilled a ton of meat. I'll have to freeze some, but for today we are feeling lucky to have all the lovely, smoky flavors. Lunch was spicy pork accompanied by beans. Also had some grapes. Had a handful of tortilla chips to go with half an avocado. Dinner--Likely more bbq meat, this time with green beans and potatoes. Snack--Tea (S), dark chocolate, nuts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I have been doing the rainbow 🌈 app for three days now and it’s the third day that I have gotten a rainbow (for eating all colors). 90% of the colors I get just as part of my set menu. Yellow is the hardest color for me. Yellow is separate from orange, which is easy for me to get. breakfast- keto blueberry cinnamon nut granola, coconut yogurt, bone broth lunch- scrambled eggs with mushrooms, red and purple cabbage, kale; 1/2 flaxseed muffin, goat cheese, mango slices snack- seaweed (nori) dinner- Filipino pork adobo with onions, carrots , green beans, yellow grape tomatoes hard boiled eggs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
