Yes, an extreme lack of informed consent. I'll be seeing that doctor for my 3 month check up, and that's it. Won't be going back. Something tells me that there won't be much follow up if I opt out of my 1 year check up, eh?
anyway, thanks all for dropping by.
I had a week of really good compliance, until last night. A neighbor had a party on Saturday and brought over some treats from the party last night. Pretty tasty. I also ate curry over rice for lunch and LO of that for dinner. So, high fat on those meals. But I actually dumped out over half of the "extra creamy" oat milk (added oils make it "creamy" I guess) and kept the container for my own, MUCH less expensive oat milk in a blender. LOL Zero added fat. Or added anything. Just oats and water. 1 c oats:4 c water.
Also created my own fat free stir fry on Thursday, because I was in the mood for Panda Express but they pretty much soak everything in oil. Mine was delicious, noodly, saucy, vegetable-y, and right on target
I also got up the gumption to make an enchilada casserole https://www.kathysvegankitchen.com/vegan-enchilada-casserole/ Just a heads up...maybe the desk top version of this website is better, but on my phone, I found myself frustrated at how much chatter there was between sections of the recipe. Every layer of the casserole had ingredients in one spot, instructions for preparing in another spot (separated by chatter), and finally instructions for assembling the casserole in another spot. SMH.
Mind you, there's a place where you can jump to the recipe, which I appreciate. I'd just LOVE IT if the ingredients and instructions could be in the same place. VERY tasty dish, btw. There are several components, two of which I made on different days. Nacho sauce and lentil taco filling. I found a fat free enchilada sauce in the grocery store, and used a blend of corn, peppers, onion, and black beans (southwest corn blend ???) instead of chopping and sautéing the "sautéed vegs. I will put individual servings in freezer containers for my upcoming post-surgery stuff.
I'd like to get another big batch of bean soup made as well. And some Not Chicken Noodle Soup (since it's Autumn and therefore it is SOUP SEASON!!! Yay!
Also going to simply bake a whole lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes. I found myself having a plate of sweet potato and steamed broccoli for one dinner last week...took me back to my simple start in this plan where a can of beans or a baked potato or two WAS a meal. I think that kind of thing will be the key to me getting in and staying in. Simple, humble food.
So, here's to a work week of 100% compliance and looking for a FULL WEEK coming up
