After almost 8 weeks off of work, I will be returning to the office tomorrow. I am excited to go back! I miss my team and my colleagues. I was supposed to go back Monday, but with the passing of my Grandmother last week I took three days of company provided bereavement. It was nice to see family during that time and make sure that everything was in order before I returned to work.
I'm able to eat a bit more now than when I was in the hospital, but definitely nothing like I was able to before I went in. As an example, last night I made bbq ranch baked chicken thighs. They were boneless/skinless, made with a coating of low sugar BBQ sauce and ranch dressing. Then, they were coated with a mix of italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and shake n bake coating. They were SO GOOD :) I made them with mashed sweet potatoes (sweetened with sugar free vanilla syrup, cinnamon, and Splenda) and a steamed broccoli/rice/cheese combo. I was able to eat an entire chicken thigh (it was small), three bites of mashed sweet potatoes, and two bites of broccoli / rice. All I had to eat earlier that day was some steamed spinach, two poached scallops, and a few bites of mashed sweet potatoes.
I feel like I'm not eating enough, but I guess things are going well :) I lost another few lbs so yeah - no worries or anything like that.
Tonight I'm making turkey enchiladas :). I made them before and they were SO GOOD I just have to make them again :-D
OmNomNom :D
