Valentines dinner a day early

 Dinner is a treat 😊 

I think I over cooked the steak, I bought rib eye steak. 🥩 got the meal ready for when Kim walked in the house, 🏡 

Got a few chocolates from my mom that I gave to Kim 

Steak 🥩 got twice steaks but for a hand palm size I cut them into two so I actually got four steaks. 🥩 

I BBQ 🍖 the meat and had it ready with uncle Ben’s rice. 

Read a book 📕, cleaned the kitchen table did dishes after, loaded the dishwasher.

So today is my first day counting calories and making sure I eat enough protein. Mostly in the morning so I’m more mood conscious than usual. Protein is the best hunger solving food, so I ate a cup of cottage cheese this morning and that seemed to improve my day.

These are my macros more fat than I wanted just the right amount of protein and a little less on the carbohydrates.

Yeah using the free version is best for me, I get the ads anyway the stats look some what good at the moment.

Meal planning came about last night from a podcast I was listening to, and a conversation that night with my dad.

I planning the week worth of groceries and made sure I had enough meals planned.

I sautés some mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 and onions 🧅 and cabbage 🥬 with olive 🫒 oil for after lunch around 3 pm cut up some bacon with it and fried that in the same pot 

That’ll be my lunch for the weekend.

Over all it’s been a good 😊 plan, I bought $150 worth of beef jerky to supply kim and my protein for mid day.

Over the next few weeks It’s been over all a good process.

I’ve read his book actually I got it as a book 📕

Listening to a quicker podcast on it the podcast is long one at 3 hours but better than a 12 hour book 📕 

It sounds like you've had quite a productive and enjoyable day! Cooking ribeye steak on the BBQ must have been delicious, even if it was a bit overcooked. It’s great to hear you're focusing on your macros and planning meals for the week; that can make a big difference in maintaining a balanced diet.

The combination of sautéed mushrooms, onions, cabbage, and bacon sounds amazing for lunch, too! And stocking up on beef jerky for protein is a smart move. 

It's interesting how inspiration can come from various sources like podcasts or conversations, and it seems like you're really taking proactive steps with your meal planning and calorie counting. Keep it up! 👍
