I am super excited to report I am -1.2 lbs. so I am now +28.2! While this is still a big mountain, I am definitely gaining momentum. No real exciting developments yesterday. Usual breakfast. Half of a deli turkey sandwich for lunch. I had a bunch of appointments, so I was out and about. Napp’s Thriftway, in Newberg, makes the best deli sandwiches. A half of a sandwich is $3.49, which is a great deal. It is also a better choice than a burger from a fast-food place.
For dinner, I stir-fried broccoli, carrots, onions, and red pepper. To this, I added the last of a Costco rotisserie chicken and a container of Costco broccoli and cheese soup. I heated it thoroughly and served it with some barley. I cook barley and other hearty grains in my rice cooker. I freeze them in quart zip lock bags in 2 cup portions. Then I microwave these as needed for dinners. I served the broccoli-chicken mixture and the barley side by side in these wonderful bowl-plates. There is plenty left-over for my lunch today, which will be a hot and delightful treat on this cold day.
After dinner, I felt like having some ice-cream and I did! I had a reasonable serving of caramel ice-cream. (I didn’t know icecream was not spelled as if it is one word, like I just did. That’s weird.) This treat is completely acceptable with my food plan, so no problem there.
Thank you for reading. The momentum is building, and I am excited to see where I will be after 90 days.
