Calorie wise, I did horribly today. I went over by about 900 calories. Not awesome. Sliver lining, my kidney infection has cleared up so I’m able to walk again. I’ve increased my steps, and I’ve started sitting on my exercise ball at work instead of my desk chair. I accidentally did a sit-up on it and good god could I feel it. #weightloss #fitbit #stepgoals #wentovercalories #oopsdietfail #needmoreexercise taken in Houston, Texas by @bananaveggie

Found a recipe online that said it would tell me how to make the perfect boiled egg. I am here to tell you it lied. #recipelied #boiledeggdisaster #theregoesmysnack #thatsfuckedup #nowwhat taken in Sugar Land, Texas by @bananaveggie

I have more tuna cans to use up, so today’s lunch is tuna salad on avocado. The recipe is from @downshiftology. Her meal looks perfect and dainty; I on the other hand shoveled the tuna onto the avocado, and if I could have fit more onto it I would have.
The tuna looks like a mess but it’s really good. It’s my one meat recipe for the week, everything else is vegetarian. .

Y’all. Not to be dramatic but I have spent the last 12 years making these veggie burgers. It was a full on workout and I still need to do cleanup. 😭😭😭. I forgot to add salt to the veggie patties, so it kinda tastes like flavorless mush 🤢. My brain couldn’t compute at first. But it’s not so bad once you drown it in mustard and add some cheese.
The recipe @inspiredtaste did give me a good base for how to make veggie burgers tho. In the future, I would just add Sambal Oelek, soy sauce, and other spices. So overall, the texture wasn’t off putting and once cooked the burger holds up pretty well (in mixture form its a sticky nightmare). I would obviously not forget the salt. #veggieburgers #veggierecipes #losing200lbs #forgotthesalt #andthehastags #takesforever taken in Houston, Texas by @bananaveggie

This week’s meal plan includes a quinoa salad recipe from @cookieandkate. I’ve had quinoa before, immediately hated it, and then spent the next decade purposely avoiding it. But, given that it seems to be a staple in a vegetarian/vegan diet, I decided to try it again.
This is actually really tasty. I was a bit iffy on how the dressing would turn out, but I like the flavor. Also, it’s only about 200 calories. Love that for me.
The only fly in my ointment is maybe some of the quinoa didn’t cook all the way? I got a few hard seeds stuck in my teeth. One got so wedged between my crowns I had to use a toothpick because floss wasn’t working. Is that normal for quinoa?

Bwhahahhahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. This was a total fail. I tried to make soufflé pancakes this morning. It took all morning to make. And even though I had to start over in the beginning, I was with it until it came time to cook them. All the other recipes I looked at used a piping bag, but oh no, I had to choose the lady’s recipe who ladeled it into the skillet layer by layer. Because hers looked the yummiest. What a failure. First of all, it took like 30 minutes to cook. That’s just to COOK. Also, I’m not even sure it was cooked all the way. ??? And hers looked perfectly crafted. Mine look like week old eggs. And it tasted like a French toast flavored dish sponge. I just need to eat a bowl of Cheerios and call it a day. #cookingfailures #tasteslikeshit #recipemishaps #japanesepancakesouffle #hoursofmylifelost #mydogateit #cantfollowrecipes #howdidshemakeitlooksoeasy #wewillmeetagain by @bananaveggie

Here is my other baby, Sawyer. Also, since changing my diet and counting my calories, I’ve lost almost 7 lbs since Tuesday. Like what even? I mean I’ve eaten better in the past and done MFP before, but I never got these kind of results. Ever. If this trend continues I might be under 300 lbs before the weekend is over. Okay, the vegetarian diet is the shit. Having said that, I do need to increase my protein somehow. I’m not coming close to my protein goals. #weightloss #stillnotsurewhypeopleusehastags #imhungry #mfpjourney #weightlosstransformation #butseriouslyimhungry #needmoreprotein by @bananaveggie

Well. First off, this is not vegetarian. It’s a tuna fish sandwich. I did not think I would last more than five hours on a vegetarian diet when I did my meal planning, so this was the only meat recipe I chose. It’s a tuna, fennel, and green apple combo that is...interesting. It’s on a hot dog bun because that’s what the recipe said to do and I always try to follow the recipe because I’m a shit cook. I don’t love it. Each bite is a chore. Can fennel grow stronger by the minute? #ihatefennel #amiinhell #whydoesthistastesobad #imnotagoodvegetarian #betterloseweight #therecipeliedtome #ohfucktheresextra by @bananaveggie

Having my afternoon snack very late cuz my lunch kept me full for hours. My avocado toast isn’t much to look at, but it’s actually really good and honestly I’m sad it’s gone. I could use a filter to make it drool worthy, but that’s how I get catfished into trying other ppl’s recipes all the time. #vegetarian #avocadotoast #weightloss #ifeellikeadickwhenihashtag #ifeelsoashamed #shesaidineedhashtags by @bananaveggie

Veggie shepherds pie for lunch. Found a recipe that substituted mushrooms for meat. Not going to lie, the first day was bland, but today is day 5 and it tastes better every day. by @bananaveggie

I’m starting this account only to entice a friend to continue her weight loss account. A bargain was made. The idea of announcing my weight and showing my name and face gives me hives, so here’s a pic of the cutest dog that ever was. by @bananaveggie
