Harriet Vane Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 FRIDAY Breakfast--Grabbed an apple on my way out to the gym. Lunch--Gf chicken nuggets I grabbed from the freezer, also an apple. Snack--Succumbed to the lure of French fries as I was dashing between two appointments. Shucks. I really do need to embrace bringing snacks with me when I go out. Dinner--Blueberries, popcorn, some egg salad with whole grain gf crackers. SATURDAY Breakfast--oatmeal with plain dried cranberries and nuts, also a splash of maple syrup and cashew milk, plus a hefty sprinkle of cinnamon. It's all the additions that make morning oatmeal feel so luxurious--the cranberries were the star of the show this morning. They are UNsugared, so the bitter tang coupled with the maple syrup was heavenly. Also a cup of decaf coffee with cashew milk. Lunch--quick stirfry of purple rice and tons of veggies and some beef strips with gf Korean bbq sauce Snack--Some strange gf cocoa crackers (sorta like cookies, sorta like crackers) and later some dark chocolate. Dinner--egg salad with gf crackers, 2 clementines 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Sunday went well. Just us, we didn't go anywhere and after obliterating coffee beans, we ate some granola. Lunch was salads. Supper was a chicken thigh each on the grill, and sheet pan of a variety of roasted vegetables. Today, Monday, not is great. We woke up late, had a bunch of things to do with our boat which had been winterized. We ended up not eating anything, and then going to his mom's for lunch. Oh.boy. she did not cook anything we should be eating! It was four kinds of chips, hot dogs, brats, baked beans so laden with every kind of sugar additive she could think of that I had a hard time gagging down the one and only spoonful I ate. I and half a brat on a piece of GF bread, and two chunks of watermelon which was the healthiest thing on the table. I hate watermelon too, so not happy. Tonight I made some black bean dip and ate it with salsa and red pepper sticks. Tomorrow is going to be awful. I have medical appointments for my mom and wedding shopping. Ugh. I think I will insist on Panera Bread and get the Mediterranean bowl. Quinoa and arugula base, hummus, Greek yogurt. At least I won't have such a brick in my stomach while I run around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinner - Steamed corn on the cob and an artichoke. An Actual Veggies purple (beet, carrot, and red onion) burger. I also made Monkey and Me's Amish macaroni salad and tweaked it a little bit - I used dates instead of maple syrup, and whatever veggies I had on hand that needed using up (carrots, radishes, edamame, scallions). So much good food! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 The last two days I've had coffee and an egg with spinach and mushrooms for breakfast, lunch yesterday was leftover rice, pork, and veggies, dinner was a feast for some friends: we had halibut with thyme-caper butter, grilled asparagus and brussels, grilled polenta, and a huge salad with lots of fruit and pistachios. Dessert was a gf-crusted tart of strawberry-rhubarb compote and whipped cream. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Have been out of town for a few days yet again and am so grateful to be home and not have to go anywhere for a while. I'm so sick of traveling. We had a wonderful two-week vacation at the end of April, and then the month of May was carved up with graduations and with helping dd move into her first house. It's rough when the whole family all live in other states. SUNDAY--Driving day. Low-sugar granola with cashew milk and a sliced banana for breakfast. Lunch was a fiasco. I was on the road in a hurry and should have ordered a salad. 'Nuff said about that. Snacked on nuts and on plain popcorn while driving. Dinner was much better--pulled pork and mixed fruit salad. My sil had saved a gf/df cookie for me, which I enjoyed. MONDAY--Slammed down some more mixed fruit before teaching class. Taco lunch with a friend with an appetizer of charred brussels. Gorgeous, amazing food and healthy, plus the restaurant was open air. The late afternoon and evening were complicated as I spent time with different people in different places. Snacked my way through on random offerings--fruit salad, french fries, tea (S), apple, eventually rounded it out with some pulled pork leftover from the grad party. We'll call it a mostly healthy day other than the fries. TUESDAY--So tired I was shaky and teary. I had stayed up helping someone with a paper and then had to get up early to teach class. Have been short on sleep ever since helping dd move earlier in the month. That was such a tough ride home yesterday--had to keep snacking and stopping to take walks, plus I was jittery from caffeine. Far from ideal. I grabbed some dry granola before class, then followed up with 2 eggs easy-over after class. Enjoyed yet more pulled pork and fruit with my niece and nephew for lunch. On the road I had coffee with oatmilk, some dark chocolate, nuts and dried fruit. Lunch was a grilled chicken on gf bun. Had a big salad with chicken later for dinner. Had a small teacup of sleepy tea (including valerian) to counteract all the caffeine. On the whole one of my better driving days for food. Now it's recovery time. Today I'm literally craving fruits and veggies, so that's what I'm going with. I got a deep night's sleep and a nap and am still foggy, probably both the valerian lingering in my system and the sheer brutal impact of low sleep. I'm so glad to be home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 End of the month thoughts: Eating what I think I should be eating has gone great; not eating what I think I shouldn't be eating, not quite as great, but still decently. June goal: 15 different plants every single day. (I also have step and water goals.) In May I had six days below 15. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
