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!

Quite right too and glad to hear it 😁

Also thinking of you @IReallyNeedThisToWorkbe kind to yourself

Using Nutrition Geeks collagen here too, no idea if it’s doing what it should be but figured it might help?

Feeling proud as just been out for lunch with OH & toddler, had minestrone and an english muffin, there was some delicious sounding brioche french toast on the menu so I’m currently polishing my halo.

Thank you ladies for your collagen suggestions 💖💖💪

Yesterday was quite poor I feel and considering upping a dose as ive been gaining and losing the same pound for a week now. Im doing OK at no takeaway but ita sweet stuff getting me

Yesterday was-

Trek bar
Mr pretzel pretzel thing
Grapes
2x small fajitas
More grapes
Ice cream

So not exactly the most nutritious. Apart from the grapes!

Exercise wise I walked 10,000 steps 🚶‍♂️

Upping the protein might really help @Slummyslimmer95 👍

It’s very very hard when eating mostly carbs, much easier with more protein I think

@Slummyslimmer95 actual meals might help you stop picking at upf foods.

Aim for most of your meals to be protein and veg which should help you feel more full and give you the nutrition your body needs.

B: decaf black coffee

L: sourdough toast with jalapeño hummus, tomato and avocado. Protein yogurt with a plum and a kiwi, couldn’t finish it though

D: butter chicken with brown / wild rice and a bit of home made naan. Haagen Dasz dulce de leche ice cream yum

Wk 73, day 1, 5mg (maintenance wk 23)
E: core conditioning, spin
B: 2 sausages, 2 fried eggs, beans, toast
L: last of the leftover roast chicken, cauli cheese and sprout puree, a pear
D: whole grain rye toast and cream cheese
S: alpen light bar
Usual supplements, green tea, 2 litres of water, litre of electrolytes

B:nothing
L:yogurt, raspberries, blueberries, chia, almonds
T:king prawns in coriander and garlic, salad, protein pudding, chocolate almonds, frozen chocolate raspberries
Tea, more tea,
Biotin, collagen, turmeric, l Theanine

Week 6, day 5, 5mg

B: protein granola, fat free greek yogurt and frozen fruit, two coffees, one containing dose of collagen

L: bean and halloumi shakshuka, small slice of sourdough and butter

D: homemade lasagne with half a plate of salad leaves, tomatoes, olives and cucumber

Sn: mug of decaf and two chocolate digestives

Lots of squash, another cup of tea and a can of pepsi max.

I tried a bit more today 😊 when I first started I was all over protein. Over time its slipped though, and its so easy to just pick / snack 🙈

Anyway, today was -

Trek bar
Chicken baguette, mayo and salad. Bag of hula hoops
Roast chicken, roast potatoes, roast carrots (chicken was on offer from sainsburys in a Mediterranean type sauce)
Grapes, and a cornetto
Two litres of water. Exercise wise done 10,000 steps. Wanted to go swimming but in first world problem form, my new waterproof headphones hadn't arrived

The aim for tomorrow is no sweet stuff! Although I am proud of lunch choices. Finished meeting, had 45minute wait for train, fancied kfc but can't really afford it and also not the most nutritious. So baguette was a better option I think 🤔

Week 6, day 7, 2.5mg

B - coffee with collagen protein
L- 2 boiled eggs and protein Yogurt
D - king prawns with veggies curry and rice
E - 10k steps

B: sourdough toast, jalapeño hummus, tomato, avocado, decaf black coffee

L: crackers with cottage cheese, way too many smoky bacon Pringles

D: keema, rice, peas, mango chutney, raita. Plus a disappointing gooseberry fool

Bit of a shit day today - insanely heavy period, very annoying mother in law and what school has a Halloween party a week after Halloween??? hoping seeing it written down might not seem so bad…

Maintenance wk 8 day 1 - 3.75mg 7 days ago…

E: 7.5k run

B: porridge with pear, chia seeds, hazelnut milk, coco powder and crystallised ginger

S: cappuccino

L: ikea spicy rice and veg - portion of gravadlax mainly eaten by the four year old!!! Another cappuccino

S: smoothie with 0% Greek yog, hazelnut milk, frozen mango and pineapple

D: 1/2 home made veggie pizza, squirt of pizza express dipping sauce

S: Dark Ness beer, small bowl sweet and salt popcorn, few choc chips

I can tell I have my period… Homer Simpson is inside my head saying ‘mmmm Smokey bacon Pringles’

Haha! I didn’t even like them really but could not for the life of me stop eating the little bastards 🤦‍♀️

I’ve felt so rough since - I wish I could say lesson learned but it probably hasn’t been, unfortunately 🥴

I need to Get A Grip tomorrow, feel like bad habits are creeping in

You’ve got this! Pringles are my downfall - I honestly think I maybe can’t ever eat them again because when I start I can’t stop. Listening to some of the Zoe podcasts where they talk about how they are manufactured has put me off them a bit.

Week 7, day 1, 2.5mg
B - coffee with collagen protein
L- Protein yogurt, blueberries and raspberries
D - salmon and brocoli
E - only managed 4k steps..busy day

Definitely not that bad @Incognitoburrito88! And I’m sure Pringles have MSG or similar on to make them more alluring @gimmemounjaro

Week 6, day 6, 5mg - 1st 2lb down

B: plain toasted bagel with peanut butter and banana on top, one mug of tea, one mug of coffee with collagen in

L: small portion of leftover homemade lasagne, salad

Sn: slice of honey oat sourdough and v thin scraping of butter

D: 6(!) aromatic duck rolls with hoisin, cucumber and spring onion, handful of oven chips and a chicken goujon

Sn: two chocolate digestives and a mug of tea.

Evidently I’m much better when sticking to my usual high protein breakfast, otherwise it ends up like an absolute carb and calorie storm apparently…! Onwards to tomorrow.

PS having to finish the evening with an esomeprazole, that’ll teach me

B: nothing
L:Yogurt, raspberries, chia, blueberries, almonds, mixed seeds
T:tempura prawns, sticky chicken skewers, salad, protein pudding, cherries
Sn:dark choc almonds, half a skinny whip mint
Tea, shit loads of as usual, plus supps.
