Harriet Vane Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Struggling so much with the horrid TMJ protocol. I'm supposed to be on super-soft foods for a little while. I didn't know that before I picked up my mouth guard, so the house is full of stuff I cannot eat. I threw out my back on Saturday and it's been hard to concentrate on both the TMJ stuff and on back stuff. Breakfast--banana before class Lunch--gf gnocchi with Italian meat sauce, 2 pears (they were tiny, so it's more like 1 normal pear) Snack--dark chocolate, tea (NS), small handful of potato chips (Dh left a bag out and I grabbed some while drinking tea without thinking I'm not supposed to right now.) Dinner--chicken salad with crackers (chicken, mayo, celery, onion, raisin, almonds, curry) 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Tuesday: Breakfast - slaughter of the king's beans, and toast Lunch - Discovery that the speciality coffee has only one more pot left in the bag. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth, followed by a baked potato with Greek yogurt, green onion, chives, and fresh spinach. Dinner - Meatless ziti, large spinach salads. I managed to score a bag of decent spinach so we will have the last of it tomorrow. Today I craved juice. Don't know why. I think I drank 16 oz of V-8 juice, and 8 oz of orange juice. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Selkie, Thank you so much for the bean recommendation. I placed an order over the weekend - four types of legumes, black quinoa and banana vinegar. The vinegar because I am really wanting to make my own salad dressings. I keep saying I am getting back on track and then life happens and I really really need to stay away from all things gluten free baked goods. I have learned that one leads to two leads to a week leads to horrible bloating. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of bananas, I have to thank you, too. After you mentioned having a dwarf banana plant from Logee’s, I went and ordered two of them. I also got a key lime. Now I need to stay far, far away from the Logee’s site, because I have spent way too much $$ on plants lately, and my house is already a jungle of houseplants and microgreens! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. ☺️ I was doing a no-buy January. Then I cut my thumb really bad while cutting vegetables. (Tremors, trying to have a deep conversation while chopping veggies. Not a good mix.) So I ordered a few more fruit trees from One Green World to make myself feel better. Then I ordered some legumes and sort of tossed the no-buy thing out the window for the weekend. Now back to reality. (Anniversary, Christmas, two birthdays and a sick dog within just a few weeks.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 A couple of days ago it was this: B: chicken and green bean curry L: bok choi, mushrooms, broccoli raab, zucchini, 2 small eggs - my chickens have decided it's light enough to start laying again. Hiking snack: a date and some pistachios S: kale, white ban, sausage soup on broccoli raab Late night stress eating after a challenging meeting in town: ice cream, pistachios. 3 coffees, 2 espressos, a turmeric tea, and a beer. Not a great evening. Then yesterday it was B: Greek yogurt with walnuts and pistachios L: borscht Snack: pistachios and a date S: chicken veggie soup and 2 gf biscuits that dh made, super delicious. Water, 2 coffees, 2 espressos. I am definitely gaining weight with my new routine, and I think it's because I have added calories to breakfast and lunch but not taken away from supper. So I'm going to try a week of only big salads with lime juice for supper and see if that changes the trend. I'm quite happy eating breakfast and lunch! The ice cream and beer didn't help any this week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Wednesday: Breakfast - there was a great weeping, and my mood was a bit "Kylo Ren when given bad news" after that last bit of specialty coffee beans was sacrificed. Mark was told that I'd he valued our marriage, he would not return in the evening without new coffee beans. I also ate a boiled egg while sulking. Lunch - leftover ziti and carrot and red pepper sticks Snack - handful of GF pretzels Dinner - we were feeling like we didn't want anything elaborate, so we used up the last of the spinach for salads with the last bits of the fresh mozzarella left from making the ziti. Later we had smoked oysters on GF pretzels. No cooking which I quite enjoyed. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 I started the Cornell Plant Based Nutrition program this week and am loving it so far. My classmates are mostly physicians, nurse practitioners, dietitians, and pharmacists. For a nerd like me, it is super cool to have T. Colin Campbell as an instructor, after having read all his books and watched so many documentaries and interviews with him.🤩 Thursday - Breakfast - A lemon poppyseed WellBean bar while running errands. Watercress with mixed greens and microgreens. Breakfast bowl with soybeans, oats, banana, pomegranate, blueberries, guava, kiwi, passion fruit, pineapple, dragon fruit, fig, apple, pear, mulberries, goji berries, goldenberries, walnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, soy milk. Lunch - Mixed greens. Whole grain pita with tofu, scallions, edamame, radishes, cashew mayo, mustard, sriracha. A blood orange and a Cara Cara orange. Dinner - I tried a new soup recipe from the Esselstyn’s cookbook, Loaded Vegetable Soup with Farro & Beans. Very good! Ingredients are onion, celery, carrots, garlic, tomato paste, veggie broth, farro, kidney beans, miso, green peas, corn, kale, balsamic vinegar. I added mushrooms and threw in a partial can of tomato sauce that was in the fridge. Also had mixed greens with sesame peanut dressing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Yesterday- Thursday: Breakfast - Having stalked the coffee aisle the evening before and procuring beans to assassinate, good coffee was back on the menu first thing in the a.m. I ate some homemade granola - rolled oats, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. Lunch - black and pinto bean enchiladas with fajita vegetables and dried cherry tomatoes, salsa, Greek yogurt, small amount of cheddar cheese Dinner - we were still very full. We had hummus and carrot sticks, then later we made some popcorn. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Am in the thick of work deadlines and adjusting to the TMJ mouthguard and protocol. I was proud that I forced myself to wear the mouthguard to gyrotonics yesterday--I think the mouthguard is somehow bizarrely helping with neck tension. But the combo of deadlines (read: temptations to eat poorly while working) and TMJ stuff makes for some emotional ups and downs, LOL. Thursday: Breakfast--grabbed a tiny pear before class, then had two over-easy eggs after class. Lunch--baked potato and pulled pork and grapes Snack--grabbed some gf choc chip cookies. Had to remind myself that being gf does not necessarily mean sugar free or a healthy choice. Also had some dark chocolate. Dinner--Fabulous pan-fried fish (swai) with cornbread and guacamole. I drank tea at various junctures, all with no sugar. Friday so far: Breakfast--grabbed a banana on the way to the gym Lunch--cornbread and pulled pork, then also had a few gf steamed potstickers with dh when he came up for lunch; tea (S) Plan for the rest of the day: Snack on dark chocolate or corn bread with guacamole as desired. Dinner will likely be stewed chicken of some sort with veg and tomatoes (trying to use up odds and ends in fridge and freezer). Will likely have more tea because that's just the way I roll. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) We are done eating for the day. Breakfast - bagel with a tiny bit of smoked salmon, little bit of cream cheese Enough coffee to drop a water buffalo Lunch - boiled egg on a small salad Early dinner - Mark made homemade pizza, his divine, rapturous, gastronomic love on a plate, pizza. Two kinds of mushrooms, green pepper, spinach, basil leaves, tons of sauce, fresh mozzarella, and feta. I made a cocktail. I have no idea IF it is an official thing and has a name or not. 8 oz lemonade, a large shot of Absolute Citron vodka, and 6 oz lime La Croix selzer water. We split it in half. So yummy. We are very full and done for the day. Mark has enough stuff to make pizza again for lunch tomorrow, and I think I better make dark chocolate chip scones for breakfast because I owe him!

One scoop of Mukilteo Mudd chocolate ice cream with a gf df brownie on the side . The brownie wasn’t worth it- just not tasty enough to make the calories worth it. Oh well two eggs before bedtime Just you and a book???? Heaven! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I've missed a day but ignorance is bliss, so I'll do yesterday: B: greens with scrambled egg whites, avocado, walnuts, lemon vinaigrette L: forget S: stir-fried bok choi, salad with lots of veggies, gf almond tuilles. I guess if I'm really going to participate I should write it down. I forget what I've eaten so quickly. I did much better yesterday with going back to no snacking. Even small snacks set off big hunger for me, and it doesn't get going if I don't snack at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday: Breakfast: Didn't have time to juice as the kids had a make up ballet class this morning. Lol, my oldest didn't know what a make up class meant and thought she was going to be doing makeup. Had my usual, bananas, strawberries, walnuts, flax meal, almond milk. Lunch: yummy salad with shredded lettuce, yellow bell pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers, radish, and chickpeas. Ezekiel toast with hummus and avocado Dinner: pinto beans and brown rice I feel liken I'm getting into a groove of eating the same things. It's not tiresome though, I just feel like that's what I like. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Saturday I'm working towards a deadline--am feeling good about not eating crunchy food, but I definitely allowed myself more dark chocolate today mindlessly while working. It's always 70-90% and dairy free, so it's the good stuff, but I do try to limit it more than this most days. Breakfast--Banana, tea (NS), stirfry of rice, onion, egg. Lunch--Yummy Mexican stew with rice made by a friend. There was stuff I didn't recognize in it. Seemed like veggies and chicken in a gentle sauce--unexpectedly tending towards sweet (fruit) with cinnamon but also savory notes. I've never had anything like it. Snack--dark chocolate, some plain puffed rice cakes. Dinner--Dh made a beautiful spread of beans, chicken rolled in a spicy cornmeal mix, onions, peppers, and potatoes. Everything tender and flavorful and healthy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
