Did you all have a fabulous weekend? This was my first birthday in my new life, and honestly, it wasn't hard to do. I just did it like a normal day. It helped, I think, that I didn't really make a big deal over it. I'm pretty sure most of my co-workers still don't know that my birthday was on Saturday, and I'm ok with that. :) I did get a wonderful surprise birthday gift on my birthday. My mother-in-law ordered the Bento Box I wanted off of Amazon for me!!!! I'm so excited. It's going to make taking lunch to work, and fitting lunch in the fridge at work so much easier. :D
So, it was a pretty simple day, I had a friend over, and she and I hung out. The night before, I had made more Egg Bites (recipe to follow), and I made another batch of the carb-free sugar-free pumpkin pie that I had a bite of. That was my "cake" this year. And you know what? I'm totally ok with that. :D
So, here are the Egg Bites that I made this weekend. Here's the Eggface Recipe that I adapted it from. My husband had bought a Black Forest, Boneless, Pre-sliced ham from Meijer, which I made last week, so, I took 4 oz. of that, 1/2 c. reduced fat (made with 2% milk) Cheddar cheese, 5 eggs, salt, pepper, oregano, dehydrated onion. I was actually going to make them an Italian Ham Sub egg bite, since I found banana pepper rings in the fridge, but, I totally forgot to put those in, so, breakfast ham bites instead. It's ok, they still turned out FABULOUS! I freaking LOVED them. I actually took and froze two more 4 oz. portions of ham to make more with. :D
These little things freeze great. Just put some in the fridge the night before you want them for breakfast, and they're fabulous. :D
So, I'm on Instagram (ladydobz), where there is a HUGE WLS support community. Seriously, it's amazing. I love it. But one thing that I notice that many people talk about is water intake. It's something that pre-op I had issues with too. Since I've had surgery, however, I refuse to let myself NOT get my water. And my daughter has noticed. It's kind of funny. If I don't have my water cup with me (I use one of two Royal Caribbean cups that we got on our cruise)
(I actually prefer the other cup, but it's in the wash right now), she'll bring me my cup. She does it when she drinks. She likes to have her sippy cup with her all the time now, and she tends to drink when I drink. It's cute. So, if she notices she's thirsty, and takes a drink, she'll look at me. If I don't have my cup, she'll go and find it for me, and bring it to me. :D
If you don't have your own two year old water monitor, there are several apps that can help. Baritastic allows you to set alarms for multiple things, including vitamin/pill reminders, and I'm sure there's a water reminder on there. Another fun one is Plant Nanny. Literally, you record the water that you drink, and as you do, you're watering your little plant. Your plant grows, or, if you don't drink enough, it withers and dies. Don't worry, it doesn't die forever. You get these little "drops of life" that you can bring your plant back with. It's cute. I don't use it anymore, just because I have a bad habit of forgetting to update my water count on there. :/ Oops. Oh well.
Well, I hope you all have fabulous weeks! :)
