FOOD:
- broccoli, Gardein F’sh Patties, roasted Roma tomatoes, McCormick Smash Seasoning, brown mustard, red pepper flakes
- Cornbread (Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (Vegetarian), cream style corn, jalapeños)
- GV SF Lemonade
- Ranch Style Beans with Jalapeños, roasted mustard greens, green beans, mashed potatoes
- small red potato
NOTES: I’m looking for an easy SOS-free cornbread recipe. I prefer cornbreads that are not too heavy on flour. If I want cake, I’ll make cake. I like a savory, slightly bitter cornbread. I’ll be experimenting. Jiffy is very good, but it is too high in fat, sugar, and sat. It is also far too sweet for me.
I have a lot more interest in cooking. I famously hate cooking, but I have been really interested in making my own food recently. Things really change when you aren’t in pain. I just have so much energy lately. I wonder if that will stop suddenly at some point.
I’m mildly concerned that my weight loss has been too rapid, but I don’t feel like I’m denying myself anything and I am full throughout the day. I’m not fighting a craving for snacking or stressing out about not having enough to eat. If I develop symptoms that need to be addressed, I’ll be more careful to make sure I’m getting enough to eat. Right now, I feel just fine. My mind has been generally great. I feel like the universe is more in order than it had been. Apparently, treating oneself well is a good thing. Who knew!?
