What I Ate Today on Mounjaro - back for round 3!

[IReallyNeedThisToWork]

With only a tiny bit of space left on the last thread, here’s a new one!

For accountability, inspiration and support, not judgement!

Week 4, day 3, 2.5mg

B - coffee with collagen power

L - chicken stir-fry

D - king prawns noodle

Better water consumption today but not up to 2l

Here you go @IReallyNeedThisToWork

It’s an instant pot recipe but translatable

Sorry about the well-used book - we lived on instant pot curries when we were without a kitchen. Amazed we can still bear to eat them actually, we must have had this and butter chicken every week for about five months 🙀

Week 4, day 3, 2.5mg, still grotty AF

B: protein granola with frozen cherries and fat greek yogurt, two cups of tea

Sn: a cheese and marmite english muffin with butter

L: cheese and ham sourdough toastie

D: leftover chicken with roasted courgettes and tomatoes with spaghetti, tiny bit of garlic bread

Sn: a mini oreo ice cream and half a halloween chocolate cupcake

Lots of water, squash, diet lemonade.

NOT a good day. Feed a cold, starve a fever and all that…

@gimmemounjaro that’s a fab sounding recipe, thanks for sharing! I love my instant pot and go through phases of using it and then it stays in the cupboard for a while, I feel like it’s due an outing. 🤩

@gimmemounjaro thank you! Love how used the book is and wish I had been living at yours during the kitchenless period!

The book is Indian Instant Pot Cookbook by Urvashi Pitre, if you want more inspiration! The butter chicken is lovely too but quite indulgent. And by that I mean it’s mostly butter and cream 😋😱

Thanks again @gimmemounjaro. It’s also available free on Kindle Unlimited for anyone that has it! 👍

@incognitoburrito88 they're lovely aren't they! Only tried the chocolate one so far

Period has hit and im feeling rubbish 😢 very aware women have been struggling for millenia, im not special. Have always had problems, weirdly since losing weight the last two have been heavier / more painful / took more out of me. Not sure if thats true or just that I'm feeling healthier so when I feel a bit poorly, I feel properly shit. As well as the usual symptoms im also freezing cold. Marvellous 🤣 it is also very demoralising trying to eat right but seeing the scale stubbornly remain the same while on

Anyway enough moaning. Yesterday was;

Half a bowl of broccoli and stilton soup, baguette, butter

Steak, Mushrooms, homemade chips, peppercorn sauce

Some white forest ice cream 🍦

Some water, but not enough tbh!

Ooh what’s white forest ice cream?
Sorry you’re feeling shit btw 😔
