COVID-19 Virus Shutdown, Day 105

Day four. I got last blog's days mixed up. oops!

I had no time to weigh myself. 


------------Breakfast ----------------------------------------

Late. 
Ate oatmeal with raisins and almonds and brown sugar cinnamon. 
and coffee. 
High in calories, unfortunately. I like a lot of stuff on my oatmeal ;)

So. Many. Meetings.

-----------Lunch --------------------------------------------

Its like 1230 and I'm not hungry yet.

Okay not long after that I was hungry. I repeated the quick dinner i had on tuesday and warmed up 
angel hair, with some shrimp, the last of the broccoli and some scallions, soy, ginger, and garlic. 
still yummy but I have to get better at mixing. Got a big bite of ginger! 


-----------Dinner --------------------------------------------
Quick break for dinner. We had Scalloped chicken, garlic butter israeli couscous,
 minted rainbow carrots, and fruit salad. (mango, peach, grapes, raspberries, apricots) 

And then I had one tiny chocolate candy. 

-----------Exercise ------------------------------------------

I guess walk the dog? Nah. I needed a break today. 
My last meeting ended at 9 pm! (at least that one was voluntary)
 
------------------------------------------------------------

How do I feel?

I'm feeling pretty good about this: I haven't binge eaten in days now. 
It's great because despite my calorie counting every bite, in the past when I felt blue I would eat eat eat. 
It's not a great coping mechanism because guess what? you are NEVER satisfied. All it does is set up your morning to suck.

Somehow, I think it's my accountability to you, dear readers, I have not wanted to binge. 
I feel a responsibility to see this through. 

Weighing in tomorrow. But not binging? I feel like I've already won something.

COVID-19 Virus Shutdown, Day 53

Image
Before breakfast, I punched down the sourdough that was now more than doubled. Then I pushed it into a wide flat shape and rolled it up, tucking it into a loaf pan. I let it sit until after the lunch time baking was done. For lunch we made khachapuri. This was my friend's recipe I mentioned earlier. Since my stand mixer was in the dishwasher I used the breadmaker to mix the dough. When it was ready I asked if the kids wanted one of the dough balls to make their own. Here is what each of us did. Son made cheeseless pizza (upper left) I made cheese with butter and green onions (bottom right) This one will get the egg The one on the left is cheese and butter only The one on the right is cheese and brown sugar (it kept unfolding!) Daughter did something even more different, she made what could be described as a brown sugar cinnamon calzone I couldn't get a photo of the pizza one baked because son grabbed and ate it before I had a chance to snap one.

Chicken Roma

Chicken Roma I have to say it was a pretty good day. I spent hours in the garden and then cooked a fabulous dinner. I even got to read a book! Since the hubby has been working so hard on his diet, I've been looking for really good tasting recipes that are good for you, and from scratch. This one didn't even seem to take that long (but I was doing what I love, so it may have been an hour or more). I had to share it with you so you can try this recipe! The first thing you notice is that the recipe calls for both chicken breast and chicken thighs. I don't think I've seen one like that before. You cook the chicken first in olive oil until browned and then take them out of the pan to rest. Of course I ran OUT of olive oil, and by the way, if you turn your back on it, olive oil smokes. A lot. So I supplemented the olive oil with cooking oil. It was fine, and I didn't burn the oil. Whew! Chicken browned on left. Prosciutto and garlic on the right. See

Day 10: 40 Days of Lent: Cookie Brownies and Double Chocolate muffins!

Image
Chocolate is my addiction, I must admit. Especially when it's warm. I think about it, dream about it, bake it, make candy with it, eat it after lunch or dinner nearly every day. So when i think about birthday cakes or even the charity I bake for, I'm always looking to make chocolate-something. Or when its Saturday and I have some time on my hands. I think about it then too. :) This week, I had been cruising around the internet, and my sister in law mentioned that it was time for Chocolate muffins. I agreed. I felt tired and turned off the computer. Then, my mind started ticking away. I had recipes, lots of them. I would bet among all those recipes I had a recipe for Chocolate muffins. Hmm. I really wanted some warm chocolate. So I opened up my computer again and got out my recipes. Ooh this one sounded good. They had chocolate chips even! The mix was pretty simple and it turned out much more chocolately than I expected. (That's a word, right?) It was the pe
