Day 23?
B: frosted mini-wheats w blueberries; oatmilk
L: quesadilla style; corn
D: salad w. rice and beans (most likely)
The last couple of days for dinner I've used pre-fab salad kits, minus the dressing or any high fat toppings, and added my own stuff such as garbanzos, minced red onion, dill pickle, etc. It turned out absolutely scrumptious on Monday, where I used ingredients that I would use in a fake tuna sandwich spread: garbanzos, onion, seaweed, pickle YUM. I have a rice seasoning blend from the Asian market that added a spike of wasabi to it and it was SOOOOO good.
Yesterday's salad wasn't as good, but I ate it anyway. I think I can do salad for a few days doing it this way. I'mma go back to that fake tuna version.
Now for a little confession. I didn't end up dumping the oily oat milk. I'm using it
Just couldn't bring myself to dump it. And I know if I return the unopened half gallon, the grocery store will dump it SO I'm just going to toss that one. I honestly feel like I'm slowly poisoning myself with it, seriously. The added oil *feels* icky and dangerous. But that first half gallon is empty now, and I'm going to make oat milk this afternoon. Just my own dang stuff, oats and water. And tossing the other. c'est la vie.
This week, it's been really hard to wake up in the mornings. Can't figure out what's going on. My body clock has a wake up time of 5:00-5:30 and I'm awake, ready for a leisurely hour before breakfast, and then getting to work. Lately though, it's been 6-6:30 and I can't hold my eyes open. Today I've been "sleep working" and I even had a cup of coffee. Haven't walked today or yesterday. I'll get on it tomorrow morning.
and Covid has come close to home, as my sis-in-law has the illness with moderate symptoms, and my brother tested positive as well, but no symptoms. No word from him today so I'm taking it as no news is good news. Hoping that his wife recovers quickly.
kinda scary, quite a bit freaky.
Now, I'm using this updated checklist. Let's see how it goes.
A 10-POINT CHECKLIST FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS (MWL)
1) Start each meal with a soup and/or salad and/or fruit.
2) Follow the 50/50 plate method for your meals,
2) Choose fruit for dessert. (or skip dessert)
3) Greatly reduce or eliminate added sugars and added salts.
4) Eliminate all animal foods (dairy, meat, eggs, fish, seafood).
5) Eliminate all higher fat plant foods (i.e., nuts, seeds, avocados, tofu, soy).
6) Eliminate any added oil.
Today is the LAST DAY of oily oat milk
7) Eliminate all higher calorie-dense foods including flour products
8 ) Don’t drink your calories (especially from juices & sugar-sweetened beverages).
