Bizi, I really like your 2017 diet plan :).

I reckon that it is all there; protein, vegetables and fruit, good carbohydrates and nuts.

That is a great combination :)!

You really do well dropping weight when you put your mind to it. I know it's hard, but I have no doubt that you'll be able to lose weight this time around, too :)

I hope that the visit with your new client went well... that the timing of the visit didn't prevent you from doing your work, and she was able to sit still for you.

ii don't want to say how many pints of halo ice cream i had yesterday. they are around 240 calories a pint. I feel so rotten. Pudgie isn't eating much.

Bobby, have you ever tried steaming a califlower and mashing it up with some sour cream and butter?
Great low carb and comfort food.
bizi
hard boiled eggs and mayo are also creamy, low carb and comfort food. could even add a caper or two to jazz it up.
(((((HUGS)))))


Lunch was 6 oz of grilled chicken breast and an oatmeal with apples and crasins from mcdonalds (Not low carb but comfort food) It is cold today!
4 cups of coffee with cream (breakfast and lunch)
Dinner will be talapia and mixed veggies.
almonds to snack on and half an avocado.

I just got back from working out of town, saw 5 people at one retirement home. took longer than usual because one of the residents only son was visiting and we talked quite a bit.
Then another resident was complaining about how they never make her bed up right that it was really upsetting her, every day!
So I volunteered to tuck things in and she was happy.
She is a neat lady, can't remember much but there are clues laying about in her apartment...Little awards of service here and there. She has traveled to the country of dominican republic for some service project. and last month I saw dog tags from the army, she can't tell me anything about her service.
sigh
I work tomorrow as well.
I love my job.

califlower bread sticks
 

Califlower bread sticks!

1 medium head of cauliflower (this will produce 4 cups of riced cauliflower)
4 eggs
2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp ground pepper
1 additional cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
3. Cut the cauliflower into florets, discarding any large stem pieces. Place the florets into the bowl of a food processor (if you have a smaller food processor, do this in two batches so the cauliflower grinds evenly). Pulse until the cauliflower is chopped into small pieces that are about the same size as a grain of rice.
4. Place the 4 cups of riced cauliflower (reserving any leftovers for another recipe, such as cauliflower fried rice) in a large-sized microwavable bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
5. When the cauliflower is done, remove the plastic wrap and let cool. Add the eggs, 2 cups of mozzarella, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
6. Divide the mixture in half and shape into 2 circles on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove it from the oven and top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the edges are brown.
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping!


I will think about making this!

I'm so glad you take an interest in your clients and love your job :)

I love cauliflower, but my husband absolutely refuses to eat it. I'd like to try that recipe, but it would be a lot of work for just little old me.

Unless you told him, I don't think he would notice...also maybe you could halve the recipe?
have a good day kay.

Breakfast for lunch, my favorite:
egg white omelette with spinach and tomatoes and onions
and pepper jack cheese with half an avocado on top.
It was delicious! and 1/2 cup of pineapple

4oz hamburger patty with hot sauce
butternut squash
and another half an avocado.
1 oz of cheddar cheese
1 dark chocolate truffle
almonds to snack on.

Hot sauce is a great way to jazz up food without the guilt :)
It's great that you love veggies so much. It's hard for people who don't like them, and won't eat them, to diet.

The recipe sounds good, Mari. Simple and worthwhile for one person.
