That sounds delicious! When I first read it, I read "brussels" instead of russets. Didn't sound quite as good then even though I love brussels sprouts, lol.

one chocolate, a few pieces of apple with peanut butter, some carrots, a few slices of ham diced up further, cottage cheese with hot sauce and oregano on it.
no more snacking tonight. gotta get back on track and nights are the worst time for me this time of the year because aside from being cold i just want to eat and then go to sleep.
if i want anything at all i can make hot tea (from the last dill that i dried) which is good enough for me and i love the taste of it and that it is warm. Mom will tempt me but i have super armor on tonight, it's called will power and a two letter word "No", followed by "but thanks for asking."

Does mom know your working on weight???? So she could be less "persuasive" with extras?
Have tea and read an engaging book -- in a warm bed. 👍

yes. it's going to be a struggle to change habits for both of us, but i'm already ahead of her on this in a lot of ways so i just need buckle back down again for a few more months.
works for me.
i tinkered and read most of the afternoon.

Working on weight can be hard when you have an enabler, lol. For example - on Christmas Eve he walks in and tells me I look like I NEED a cookie and basically FORCED me to eat it, lol. Thankfully, took the rest of them to son's house on Christmas day so they aren't here to tempt me anymore.

Egg drop soup. Wanted something light, but with a little protein boost. Girls have been supplying lots of eggs lately, so it all worked out.
