What's on your plate?

[lylysa]

Hello there, ladies and gents!

Keeping in line with all the fun and interactive threads asking about your most recent halls, items you have your eyes on, what you're currently wearing, what's your hair routine, and more, I've decide to branch out and ask:

"What's on your plate?"

The beauty world doesn't just stop at skin care and cosmetics, it also goes hand in hand with your overall health and well-being, so with that, I'm curious to see what we're all chowing down and snacking on be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or inbetween!

For those with apps that help count calories or to those who just want to keep a log, here's a place to share, possibly find and share some recipes, and even tips on maintaining a balanced diet.

Don't just share food items, but even drinks! I'm a huge fan of tea and at least have a cup of green tea a day (anti-oxidants) and drink plenty of water.

For lunch today, I had:

-Brown rice

-Steamed egg

-Steamed red snapper with green onion, sesame oil, and black pepper

-Gai lan (it's a type of Chinese vegetable/greens)

Now, tell me, Beauty Talk world, what do you have? 😄

Celebrating a new weight loss low with just a “bite” of cake.

It fits on my fork so that’s an accurate description right?

Congrats @Ispend2much6! Awesome job, a treat is well earned.

[Ispend2much6]

@itsfi  Thank you!

@Ispend2much6 Yuuum. Great way to celebrate! Is that cake marbled on the inside?

[Ispend2much6]

@JoSometimes  It’s marbled with food dye.😂

My son picked it up from the grocery store and was kind enough to share.

[JoSometimes]

@Ispend2much6 Sharing is caring!

@Ispend2much6 Congratulations! Mmmm cake. Is that icing on the top and bottom?

[Ispend2much6]

"Icing on the top and bottom," @Mellmars1185 - You're getting ideas, aren't you? 🙂

It's a 3 layer cake, with icing between each layer, and I grabbed a bite from the top layer.

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 Can you tell I enjoy icing ?!? Lol 😆

[blackkitty2014]

Congratulations @Ispend2much6. I’m trying to loose some weight but that doesn’t go well 😂🤣

[Ispend2much6]

@blackkitty2014  Thank you.  You are beautiful!  I wish I'd taken this seriously before menopause.  It's soo much harder then, plus your skin doesn't bounce back.

Congrats! @Ispend2much6 , yes and perfectly bite sized 😄

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu   The more colorful the cake the less calories are absorbed.😂

[WinglessOne]

@Ispend2much6  Definitely accurate. And congrats! 

[Ispend2much6]

@WinglessOne  Thanks! Had to indulge in something (other than my usual beauty items since trying to use those as incentives didn’t work.)?Totally their fault too.

 i made roasted carrot soup.  soooo much soup!  I’ll be eating it all week. 

[itsfi]

Mmmm, I want some @heartsmyface! Soup makes some of the best comfort food! 😋

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   It’s sooooo good!!  It’s spiced with a whole clove of roasted garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, thyme and cardamom 

[itsfi]

Oooh, the spices you used sound so warm and cozy. 😍 Am going to have to try this when I’m back home @heartsmyface! 

[blackkitty2014]

Oh man this looks beautiful @heartsmyface @is that kale 🥬 I’m seeing 😋 in the soup

[heartsmyface]

@blackkitty2014   It’s parsley but kale would’ve been such a good idea!!
