Gertrude, Whole Foods and Wegmans have them in my area. They are delicious! I also eat them toasted with organic peanut butter. Yum!

I need to acquire some of those bananas.

The bananas sound unhealthily delicious! :slight_smile:

I did not end up making the meatballs last night. The ground turkey was still solid frozen when I got back home! So dinner was home-cooked chicken stew (with red bell peppers, basil, onions, garlic, marinated artichoke hearts, spices, and a hearty splash of wine). Served it with mushroom buckwheat pilaf (came from a package I bought at the Euro deli store) - it was delicious. No wine or dessert, just decaf green tea. :slight_smile:

Just signed up to do a 15K this Sunday - aack! It’s right in my town, so I’ve been wanting to do it but was intimidated by the distance. But after my 10K last weekend & running this morning, my hips feel GREAT (meaning no pain, no tingling or aching) so I will go for it. The worst that will happen is I walk a significant portion of it, but then I’ll still have that distance under my belt.

Sounds gourmet BB! Delicious!

The banana/chocolate combo sounds great but I CANNOT bite into a frozen banana - it’s a texture thing. Too bad!

Came back to my office at 1pm after a busy morning event to find a couple of donuts sitting in a Tim Horton box in the kitchen area here. I grabbed a cup of coffee with half and half which after a busy morning sounded SOOO good and walked past the donuts. Small win.

Breakfast this morning was super quick because of my event. A soft poached egg and some Noosa yogurt with frozen cherries and a little pumpkin/cranberry granola on top. Entertained my event guest by taking them out to lunch at a local neighborhood coffee/cafe and had a bowl of tomato bisque and a small edamame/kale salad - excellent.

Need to have something hot but delicious for dinner…hmmm…

So far today I have resisted Chex mix and chocolate candy - ever present in my office. I used to love getting a frozen banana when I was a kid - I think they were a dime. About all my graduate-school parents could afford! I eat a banana almost every day.

Breakfast and lunch today have been repeats of yesterday - the yogurt is pretty much a staple. Sabadog and Sabapup also enjoy yogurt, so they’re happy on yogurt days!

Mr. Sabaray is out tonight, so I think dinner will be stir fry tofu and broccoli.

I got my stitches out this morning, yay!

Yay sabaray on the stitches - how is it feeling?

No lie, it is sore. The new skin is very tender and it’s still difficult to make a fist or to grip anything tightly with that hand. Thankfully it doesn’t look like there will be much scarring, if any.

I bet it is! When my last dog was a brand new puppy he “bit” me on the hand jumping up to grab his leash. He just caught my palm with his sharp little puppy tooth. I tried to pretend it didn’t need stitches, but it did. It was pretty minor but it was tender for months and months.

So how did everyone do today? I finished my day with brown rice, black beans, guacamole and some steamed broccoli. Two big dog walks today, nothing else. No candy, Chex mix, or diet Coke even though I really wanted one. Day two - win.

Good day, sabaray! And I’m glad to hear your stitches are out.

Here’s my day: Breakfast of cheerios, chopped almonds, banana, blueberries with milk; jasmine green tea
Lunch: Curried tuna salad, slice of whole wheat toast, cottage cheese, avocado half, sliced pear half, red grapes
Dinner: Acorn squash soup with chunks of leftover chicken, peanuts and plain yogurt, slice of banana walnut bread, small salad, milk.

It was a drizzly, damp day and the only exercise was an evening stroll. I did do a bunch of cooking, but resisted the tortilla chips :slight_smile:

Man, I could totally eat with you people. Love your food when you’re good, love your snacks when you are not!!! :slight_smile:

Interesting that most of us ARE breakfast eaters. Is anyone not??

Dinner for me ended up being a small portion of whole wheat spaghetti with marinara and freshly grated parm and some pickled beets!

Only pup walks for me today as well. My legs were a little sore today from my run last night!

My knee is much better today but I’ll wait to see the doctor tomorrow before attempting a run.

Breakfast: 1 piece of toast with butter, 1/2 oz of walnuts, 1/2 oz of cashews, 5 prunes.
Lunch: 2 hard boiled eggs
Dinner: leftovers: roasted chicken,sautéed chard and opo squash, grapes for dessert

I’m not sure I’m finished for the day

I hit the candy corn a little too often at work today.

I managed a day with no nibbles! I allowed myself one treat when I got home, then brushed my teeth so I was not tempted to snack while making dinner. Thanks for giving me a place to be acountable!

My menu:
Oatmeal squares cereal with walnuts
Yogurt with blueberries & muesli
Salad, seared ahi tuna, honey roasted almonds
Roasted yam with black beans, orange slices
Dinner was lemon pepper shrimp with brown rice & roasted green beans

I think we are a pretty healthy bunch of eaters here!

No dinner in sight for me yet! Have to get back home first, I guess! :slight_smile: But I avoided the donuts and candy bowls successfully.

I failed. Got home 45 min ago and was super hungry. So mushroom ravioli was the tonight’s dinner! I am making beef Stroganoff as we speak - for tomorrow’s lunches and dinners. :slight_smile:

The final tally:

  1. Breakfast: cup of coffee with 2% milk, cup of Fage 2% milkfat yogurt, 1 egg, half of a Thomas muffin with a monolayer of cream cheese, and a cup of strawberries.
  2. Lunch: some leftover chicken/pilaf, cup of abovementioned yogurt, one apple and water.
  3. Dinner: 5 raviolis with sour cream sauce, some red bell pepper slices, water and a small glass of red wine.

Need to up the veggies!!! :slight_smile:

Breakfast: a banana, 2 eggs, coffee
Lunch- salad with chicken strips (grilled)
Dinner- chicken and veggie stir fry.
Snacks- string cheese, apple, skinny pop popcorn

Doubled on yoga - AM and PM classes.

Good job everyone - even if you snacked on some candy corn - there’s still some left in the bowl, right?! :wink:
