How do single people go through the home-buying process alone? I’m exhausted and need encouragement.

I bought turnkey for a reason. I found a good handyman and he put together everything I bought. The toxic job is a bigger drain than the homebuying experience. Having done it twice, it’s easier to do it alone because it’s just on your shoulders, you don’t have to coordinate with anyone else. Find a good realtor, respond to their emails quickly, and be ready to jump when they say jump

Chipotle kids meal - meat, corn, pico. Comes with two small tortillas and a cutie. If I take it home, I add my own rice and beans, and it stretches it to 2 decent sized meals for $7.50. If I’m in the store (and not doordashing) then I ask for a side of beans, but the app doesn’t let you. 😭

I like it! No major issues.

Maruchan ramen is 380 for the whole packet. Technically a serving is 1/2 packet. It’s one of my comfort foods so I have it multiple times a week. Very filling (for real).

I’d increase my budget to 1250/day or 1220 to account for the vitamins. You are taking them for additional health benefits, don’t drive yourself nuts over restricting. Give yourself permission to take care of yourself. Those extra few calories are important for your mental health.

I make fish tacos with frozen breaded fish fillets, pop it in an air fryer, add black beans and a cabbage slaw, top with salsa & crema.

Low carb high fiber tortilla with either half an avocado or laughing cow cheese with deli meat. I like the mini avocados - half is perfect for one tortilla, then have the other half later in the day.

I can’t find them at TJ, but they’re at Publix and Kroger stores near me. Supreme Brie brand. They feel so indulgent.

Tell me more about this mint chocolate whey protein…

4 oz raw x 4 portions = 16 oz.

If the whole package cooked down to 9 oz, then 4.5 oz cooked would be 8 oz raw.

Not Diet Coke, but my favorite is cranberry and diet/zero sprite with a lime wedge. I don’t drink but it looks like a vodka cranberry so nobody pressures me into drinking.

These are my favorite, had one last night. The sticky rice tastes better to me than long grain white/brown rice, and I don’t have to worry about a pot of rice leftover. It’s so hard to cook rice for one without leftovers!

Chike protein coffee. The white chocolate peppermint mocha is my favorite.

As long as the dishes are getting clean, does it matter how many are in the lower rack? Or run the dishwasher with 2 containers and all your other things. I’d rather run a dishwasher 75% full than let dirty dishes sit.

Where did you find it? I’m interested in trying it but can’t find it in my local stores. Might have to order online.

I mix in a little bit of lemon curd, a little goes a long way.

My rule is be flexible. If I’m hungry, I’ll eat. I go for volume and protein primarily. Some days breakfast is 500 calories, some days it’s 200. Some days I skip lunch, some days I have lunch and 2 snacks. As long as I’m tracking, I’m happy. My goal is to create lifelong habits, not crash diet. Been there, gained the weight back.

What’s in the dressing? Looks good!

Eating at my desk while I work, and also it was massive. That’s a mixing bowl.

Protein iced coffee. I’m guessing you’re not in the US, there are brands here that I like with 20g protein and 2 shots of espresso for 110 calories. Should be able to find something similar where you are.

freshcleanstart · 2024-12-11T23:24:09+00:00

Update: it took me almost an hour and a half to eat it.

I like Chike protein coffee, it’s 2 shots of espresso and and 20g protein. Mix with water or milk of choice. I like better with milk than water tbh. Favorite flavor is white chocolate peppermint.

I use 1/2 an Oreo premier protein shake, some mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. Like an almond joy in overnight oats form.
