coffee & oatmeal....trying to reduce my carb intake. :yucky:
TBH, oatmeal has never been my thing. I ate a few bites of the oatmeal and tossed the rest. View attachment 4843800
Coffee and oatmeal have been my breakfast staples the last month. I switched from yogurt/granola/fruits to oatmeal/fruits. Surprisingly, I like plain oatmeal (I didn’t as a kid). I also throw in blueberries and a banana. I’m ever conscious about my carb intake as well. Diabetes and heart disease swim in my gene pool so I fight back as naturally as possible. So far so good; fingers crossed - knock on wood. I should get that gorgeous bowl next...
 
I’m not going to sugar-coat it. I went all in on carbs for lunch. Not only that, but I did it with fast food. But the positive is, based on today, tomorrow is almost guaranteed to be better! I can’t lie... I :heart: honey walnut shrimp from Panda Express.

I was so close to getting home to healthy food. I drove right past Taco Bell. But then my car turned right into the PE parking lot.....:crybaby:

If it weren't for the plastic on the fortune cookie you'd never know it was takeout.
(Once again, those plates are TDF!)
 
Although I don't eat a lot I cooked a lot. :nuts: :crybaby: Can help it.
Here is my morning

Then baking but adopted the lazy way from my son.
The first batch I used the omelet side and the result we're around burning cake. But inside is super moist. Love it though.

You can see the tips of his chopsticks :lol:
Besides all of the excitement on the kitchen island, dinner is cooking on the other side :giggle: :facepalm:

You’re right! It’s made me more determined to keep trying.... :hugs:

I included it wrapped because everything else looked so good. When I chose the bowl, I intentionally chose a small one. I was thinking it would help me limit the size of the servings of yogurt that I tend to overindulge in. In this case, it only held half of the order, so it’s size was a helpful deterrent to what could have been worse. :drinks:

Yum, Panda Express! One life (and waistline) saving reason to living in NYC: no access to a drive thru. The running joke with the family is that the only time I have McDonalds (large fries, 20 piece McNuggets w/ bbq sauce, and plain burger) is in a car in California. I will cheat only under those circumstances.
 
I need some of your will power
as these days I have none!
