Day One, July 1 2023

 I weighed myself this morning, for the last time this month. 170 pounds. If I was a tall man, I'd be skinny.

I'm not doing this for the weight, though. Not really. It's about resetting my godawful sweet tooth and giving me something other than the pinched nerve in my elbow, the arthritis in my knees, and my (possibly) dying mom to think about.

And so we begin.

Breakfast:

  • Tofu scramble (extra firm tofu, turmeric, black salt, pepper, green onion, cherry tomato. Fried in too much avocado oil.)
  • Tiny potatoes steamed in the Instant Pot then cut into quarters. With salt & pepper.
  • 1/2 grapefruit
  • Black coffee
Thoughts on this meal:
  1. I used way too much avocado oil in the scramble. I normally use nonstick spray but I think that's off the menu for the time being, so I needed an alternative. I'll try something else (measuring? veggie broth?) next time. 
  2. The potatoes are perfect.
  3. I already miss my oat milk coffees. 

Morning Snack

  • Coffee with nutpods
  • Grapes (half of the container shown in the lunch pic)

Lunch

Noodly Stir Fry:
  • Stir fry:
    • Konjac noodles
    • Broccoli stir fry from ALDI
    • Edamame
    • Cabbage (fresh)
    • Sauce (natural peanut butter, soy sauce, ground ginger)
    • Cooked in avocado oil
  • Ice water
  • Cotton candy grapes
Thoughts on this meal:
  1. I LOVE FRIED CABBAGE
  2. The noodles are awesome but need to be a limited appearance item in my menu
  3. It made enough for 2 meals
  4. And it's pretty filling
I'm eating pretty late because I had breakfast so late. Between breakfast and now I did the following things that are related to this project:
  1. Watched a bunch of videos about PBW30
  2. Went to Acme (konjac noodles and edamame, unsweetened nutpods for coffee, among other things)
  3. Went to my TOPS meeting
Now I'll finish eating, clean up, and sit down for more resting of the arm.

Afternoon Snack


Hummus and carrots. Also had another glass of water and a cup of ginger turmeric tea.

Dinner

  • Spaghetti:
    • Zoodles (about 1.5 zucchini)
    • Brown lentils cooked in the instant pot
    • Roasted tomato marinara
    • Garlic onion seasoning blend
  • Almonds for some fat
  • Glass of water
It's very filling and I don't think I'll be able to eat all of it, so again with the leftovers for tomorrow. I also have a ton of lentils left and can use them for whatever I decide I want to eat Monday. 

I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't been too hungry today because I've eaten frequently. Plus all the water is helping the hangover. I don't think I'll eat again today. When I'm done with whatever feels comfortable to eat, I'm going to clean up the kitchen again and then fold some laundry. I'm keeping this in draft just in case.
