Spicy

Found a recipe for '''chili''.  Made with stewing beef and ground beef.  Turned out well - per AJ.  He enjoyed it.  Unfortunately it's not for me.  😱  Too much cayenne.  But then again, any cayenne is usually too much for me.  I tried to keep it very light, guess it didn't happen.  I'm one who more and more just like plan favour.  I do want favour, but just can't take the spicy anymore.  Good thing AJ loves spicy.

So, for dinner I had left over drumsticks and stemmed cabbage.  Also made a chia/flax muffin and from the ONS store I found No Carb Beanit peanut butter - delicious, with a bit of jam.  Jello and tea for the ending.

Breakfast today to a warmed up pancake (have to make more of them, excellent to keep in the freezer), some low fat turkey bacon, hot 'french vanilla' protein shake and tea.  Was hungry after 1 hour of shoveling all that snow.  Lunch was chia muffin (Beanit PB and Jam added), tea and 'split pea' soup.

Tomorrow for breakfast - planning on hot cereal of chia/flax.  Found a recipe for it, will try it out.

As you can guess, I'm working on that fiber plan!  And trying to remember the water....  Not too much cheese lately.  That's good.  I found a recipe for no guilt brownies - basically with egg whites.  Haven't decided if I will make it yet. Though the recipe for meringue seems ok.  I'm really working at keeping things on the Phase 1 plan.  Using that more then making Phase 2 meals / recipes.

Considering it was to snow all day, I just needed to shovel this morning. Thankfully it was nice and sunny the rest of the day.  There has been a bit of flakes coming down tonight - they say we might get more tomorrow.  I'm for the snow skipping us.  That way I can really focus on cooking / baking instead. Seems when I need to shovel, it just wipes me out for hours and I just don't have the energy (or mood) to cook a lot.  The vitamins Dr B suggested are helping, just not all that much.  I do get things like shoveling and house cleaning done, just not the cooking.  My shoulders are painful from the shoveling - will need to get a massage to help that.  Legs still ache, though that's where I think the vitamins are helping the most, they aren't as bad as they were before.  At least I'm not crying over the pain anymore.

Spent some time wrapping AJ's presents.  Jax and the cats don't get their presents wrapped.  Jax was very interested in what I was hiding in my hands.  Hence his stocking is higher up.  ha ha.

Plan tomorrow - bake!
