Hi Everyone!
I'm lazy today. Eating is going well, I'm putting my menus in the MyFitnesspal right now.
My breakfast:
Street view from yesterday afternoon:
Hello girls!!!
My friend suggested I use MyFitnessPal. Do you have any experience with it? It's great that it lets me scan bar codes, but it doesn't let me change the names so ... almond butter came in Spanish... My OCD shrieked... If I could change the name to English, I could just screenshot and copy / paste here...
I had a generic doctor's appointment today but I cancelled it... It's just to get blood and urine regular checkup prescriptions, but I feel too lazy and shy today...
Today's menu:
08h00 - two slices of rye bread toasts with some almond butter, and a slice of bacon. A huge coffee with milk - make it two... :-)
11h00 - coffee with milk, again.
Lunch was red raddish, cheese, bacon... like a snack.
Dinner was awesome though, 3 eggs omlette with mozarella cheese. :)
Today's picture:
Regular street view from the city. Yet another typical landscape, and a typical painting on an electricity box. The storks are very popular in this city, and one can find literally hundreds of them on top of buildings, often their nests full of babies nowadays.
This photo is not the best in terms of view, but I really like how the different tones of the color blue are present all over the place. And as I explained yesterday, the run-down, abandoned buildings are also part of the old city.
Lovely pictures! I'm wondering if there is a lot of skin cancer in Portugal, seeing as there is so much sun.
but i do love your photos. nowhere in my area do we see painted electrical boxes. i love that in your city there's a desire for art, beauty, to make old things or boring things or ugly things ...to make them NICE, pretty, a joy to look at.
I love all the street work, the stone-lined streets. just beautiful.
New york city and Queens has so little of the beauty here! so thank you for bringing it to all of us on DD! i love to live through others!
Hey Amazing people of DietDiaries!
I feel so motivated! I'm not measuring anything regarding to weight, or anything... I only measure my happiness, improvement in mood and improvement in physical aspect (not the looks, but for example if I feel less exhausted, if I can do things I couldn't do before... exceed my limits basically).
So I noticed several improvements today and I really feel very motivated and happy. My foods are still full of dairy and I have the impression that not everything is logged - for example I remember having a slice of chourizo last night and it's not listed on my food list yesterday, lol. I think it was a sudden craving or something. And I also think it's okay until it's not in excess... My main problem is that sometimes I won't stop at the first slice... sometimes it's craving overcoming my mind completely, and sometimes it's the guilt telling me "f... it , I already scr..wed it up so it doesn't even matter anymore if I have more...". I don't feel these nowadays, and I'm extremely happy about it.
Today's menu:
08h00 - 3 slices of thin rye bread with cottage cheese and fresh veggies, coffee milk
12h00 - coffee with milk
14h45 - few slices of chourizo, 2 slices of cheese, cherry tomatoes and raddish. Lovely! A 40gr sugarfree ice-cream.
17h00 - a strong cappuchino (had sugar) from Lidl 330ml.
19h00 - cold milk, and a very small amount of fruit juice.
Today's photo (I will post one photo per day of my city):
This is a typical view of my city. They painted all the electric boxes with paintings related to the county or the country. Another "feature" of my city is the big quantity of abandoned houses. I understand this city was full of life a century ago or more, when the center of the cork production was here. But when it closed, people moved out because the available jobs reduced significantly. I guess that some of these buildings cannot be sold because it's very difficult to find their legal owners now. Even this apartment we aqcuired last September when we moved here, had certain challenges because it was a heritage and all the documentation had to be digged up from old records.
Still, about the cork: We have a huge, also empty at the moment building called "A fábrica do Ingles" (the factory of the Englishman - direct translation). It's an important heritage of the region, as it once was an important cork factory, and the region was one of the most important cork producers in the country. Sadly it's closed now so I can't post photos of it but I will try.
i also used to have a REAL BIG problem with stopping eating things. now that i allow more food into my diet, i have an easier time stopping after a reasonable amount. it took me a very long time to get to where i am at now!
I don't remember what I had last night for dinner :(
So I noticed I am forgetting small snacks or details of my foods... and sometimes there's no way I can note it down immediately. I also don't want to become obsessed, given my historical, I could become obsessed in a very short time... 
08h00 - 3 slices of thin rye bread with cottage cheese and fresh veggies, coffee milk
11h00 - one more coffee with milk
13h00 - grilled salmon fillet with cherry tomatoes, a sugarfree ice-cream (40gr)
16h30 - coffee with milk
18h00 - two slices of cheese, almond butter and 2,5 slices of bacon
19h30 - milk shake, banana, berries, semi skimmed milk
22h00 - some cold fruit juice (200ml, 66g carbs) and a greek yogurt with fruits no sugar added.
Hey, how about a photo of my little beautiful city again? This part is always part of my morning walk.
Hi Girls and Gents!
It's still very hot today... Yesterday evening, 9 PM it was still 29 Celsius degrees, and humid. That's 85F...
My legs and arms are full of skin issues. I have psoriasis and it seems to be aggravating with this constant heat. My legs are full of open wounds now, and my arm, on the inner elbow, looks like it's burnt or fungus-infected... I don't know.. I am going to have to see a doctor about this..
Today's menu:
08h00 - huge coffee with milk (half water half milk, no sugar), 3 slices of rye thin bread and salmon flavour cottage cheese spread (sorry 
), mortadella
12h00 - coffee with milk again... some mortadella as snack...
14h30 - 2 slices of Azores cheese and some chourizo. Raddish.
16h30 - a fresh 200ml apple and strawberry juice. 15,5mg carbs... but it was FRESH....
Good morning!
Monday it is, another working week! Weekend was calm, very hot so I didn't have the energy to move a lot... The flat needs urgent cleaning... HELP! 
Today's food:
07h30 - a huge coffee with milk, a slice of rye toast bread (this is really small and thin, and crispy) and a slice of cheese. This was very satisfying for the morning.
11h00 - a coffee again, with milk
14h00 - two slices of cheese with two slices of bacon with almond butter. This is a very satisfying meal actually...
16h00 - coffee with milk again...
20h00 - We went to eat out at the Burger Ranch. This is the same as Burger King but national (Portuguese). So, normally I have a wrap menu (this means a wrap with fried chicken and hot sauce and fried chips and ice tea). Now I asked for the wrap menu the same but I asked for grilled chicken, and a diet coke, without the french fries. It was less of a damage.
23h00 - mortadella as snack and a sip of milk
Hello Awesome Community!
I woke up late today, around 8h30 AM. This is good, because I fell asleep close to 11 PM so I got some really nice hours of sleep, although... nightmares are back, due to the medication. I had this before too, nightmares... and they are really nasty ones, always involving my beloved ones in some stress situation... not easy. But I really slept like a log, I don't remember tossing and turning like I did before.
Today we need to go out again... but I think I will shift that to the afternoon. Kid wants to show off his new t-shirt he got me to buy yesterday in the clothing outlet, with a huge dinossaur on the front saying "Sorry, it's too late to run." . There was one with Bugs Bunny saying "Ain't you a STINKER?" but there were only bigger sizes, LOL... Otherwise I swear I would have bought one for him, hahaha...
Today's menu:
08h30 - huge dose of coffee with milk; 1 slice of lean bread with 2 slices of bacon and 1 slice of cheese. A 125gr soy yogurt I opened but kid ended up not eating it... This last one was not planned but still OK. No use to stress over it.
13h00 - Kid wanted milk shake... so we made one, no sugar.. but lots of low kcal and not so low kcal fruits: forest berries, banana and mango. Medium fat fresh milk.
15h00 - two slices of cheese, three slices of bacon, some almond butter. A sugarfree ice cream (40gr).
18h00 - some very thin rye bread slices (4), Skyr spread (like fresh cheese cream) and cornichons.
19h30 - leftover pizza (CARBS again...), very small amount from kid, with fresh cold milk.
So, this is the place I used to live, a year ago I was still there. Yes, with a private pool for the condo and view to the ocean. Too bad I got severe allergies because of the agriculture products they've been using. It was fresh air all the time and not this exaggerated heat like in this city (but I still love where I live now... I just miss this place too...):
I play "clean up eater" a lot in my house too.
Pizza and pill sounds at least satisfying!
I’d miss that place too - folks with private pools are lucky for sure right now !
Saturday, busy day...
Menu:
07h00 - big coffee with milk, two slices of lean bread with cottage cheese (salmon flavour), a peach
11h20 - a bit of ice cream , just a lick really :-D
14h00 - grilled chicken wings with some yucky lemon sauce (I really dislike all sauces except for hot sauce and mayo/ketchup or plain soy sauce), cherry tomatoes
18h00 - soy yogurt Skyr (has sugar but it's fine) .
Today we had some fun outside but it was too hot...
I'm not a big fish eater, so the flavored cottage cheese has me perplexed ;-)
Your son looks adorable from this side view :)
Hey Ladies and Gents :)
I'm in a hurry... I just want to show you my view from my balcony... we have a massive medieval castle behind the apartment. I LOVE IT.
Today's menu:
07h00 - huge coffee with SK milk and water
08h00 - a slice of lean bread with cottage cheese (salmon flavour)
10h00 - milkshake, SK milk, water, half scoop of Whey and frozen berries
13h30 - two slices of lean bread with cottage cheese
16h50 - a slice of lean bread with three slices of bacon and a slice of cheese. Awesomeness!
18h00 - Skyr soy yogurt with strawberry (150gr - has sugar)
20h15 - 5 fried meatballs (this is not good food but I'm okay with it)
My city, lower castle area:
So... I restarted on Elvanse (medication for ADD) today. I took 20mg dose per day earlier, now, after almost 1 year off, I'm taking it a 50mg dose. I hope it will work without side effects. I had constant headache from the meds the doctor gave me when Elvanse was off market... so I had to stop all together. Now I'm positive!
Today I woke up with a headache. I took 2 painkillers because I'm in panic that this may be the migrane coming. I have migraine almost every month, around the menstruational cycle (which is happening now) so... I always hope that I don't get it , I almost always end up having it and it means 3-4 days of constant headache, throwing up and basically zero effective functioning... no food intake for 2-3 days because it just comes back up...
So now I'm anxious because the migraine can coincide with the starting of taking Envanse again and I don't know if it's the migraine or it's side effects of a higher dosage... Well, odds are, it's the migraine... but still.
Today's menu:
09h00 - two sips of SK milk and a teaspoon of almond butter before leaving to drop kid in pre-school
10h00 - coffee with milk
10h30 - protein milkshake, with frozen fruits: half a banana, some berries, half scoop of Whey. I tried to put half milk half water, and it actually worked. I think from tomorrow on, I'm going to put more water in it so it's bigger and it contributes to water intake. A slice of cheese.....
12h00 - coffee with semi skimmed milk
14h30 - milkshake for lunch, pretty much the same as earlier.
18h00 - uhh.. 4 slices of the fitness bread... 120gr in total. Fresh Skyr cheese, and salmon flavoured fresh cottage cheese.
I once had a real migraine and yes it was terrible !
