What's on your Tuesday Menu RNYers?

Good morning everyone!

We've got about 10" of snow since yesterday afternoon and there are a few more inches expected throughout the day today. It's light and fluffy though so it has been easy to shovel. The weather will likely keep us home again today unless it clears up later. One way or another I need to get out into the world soon because I'm going stir crazy at home.

QOTD I suspect I sing more than I should. I don't think I'm a bad singer but I'm certainly not talented at all. Not big on many people hearing me but I'll sing in the house, car or shower if I'm confident of the lyrics. I don't want to be one of those people singing along at the top of their lungs and then they trail off or start mumbling because the part of the song they know is over but they refuse to stop.

I also like to make up little songs, just make up lyrics for existing tunes, and often times they are annoyingly catchy lol. I've caught others singing my silly little songs because they already know the tune and "chorus" can really stick in your head when it's relevant to the situation. Laundry songs, grocery songs, "this isn't a hotel and I don't work for you so please clean up after yourself" songs... they're catchy.

B- coffee w/ 1/2 premier chocolate shake

L- turkey strips and guacamole

D- chicken breast and tzatziki

S- skyr yogurt with cocoa powder, 1/2 premier chocolate in coffees

Totals 550 cals, 92g protein, 14g carbs

I've been dividing the second half of the shake between a few coffees throughout the day and I'm really enjoying it. I have half a shake in the morning for the earlier protein but prefer the flavour of less premier so spreading it out has meant more fluid intake and more yummy coffee.

Stay safe everyone!

Good morning JB and crew! Yay for snow days!!!

QOTD: I love to sing. My dad bought me a guitar when I was 9, and taught me som basic chords. I have loved singing ever since. I used to sing with my daughter's class at school every week, mostly Puff the Magic Dragon ;) and other folk songs. They loved it, although my daughter was a little tired of it after elementary school.

B: Fairlife with coffee and Miralax, Fuzzy Navel Julius

L: salad with hb egg and lite ranch, Dannon greek blueberry

D: Costco chicken burger with salad and Mango Habanero dressing

S: beef jerky coins 1 oz

Totals: 694 calories 90 protein 39 carbs 20 fat

It is finally warming up here... thank goodness. I start my move to our new farm in three weeks. Can't have snow for that... have a great day everyone!

Are the beef jerky coins wrapped in gold foil like the chocolate ones?

They are not and that was almost a deal breaker for me. but only $18 for a jar of them so I settled.

Running around trying to get out of here so I can meet my sister in law and my kids at the Science Museum... we weren't supposed to go until lunchtime, but the passive aggressive sister in law is blowing that out of the window, and they'll probably be done before I get there... I will not react... I will not react... I will not react.

QOTD: I LOVE to sing... and I totally suck at it. Like.totally. But, I turn up the radio and give it all I got! My daughter can't sing at all either, but when my son was younger, he'd sing great... until he tried out (in 2nd grade) for choir, and didn't make it... now he's convinced he can't sing... and his voice changed, and I'm not sure how great he is either...

Weight this morning 148.6...

B: 1 egg 2 bacon from the cafe downstairs

B2: 2 cups decaf with half and half

L: Open

D: We are having 3 days of Hello Fresh delivered today. I did this because I got a free coupon for one day, but also thought the kids could cook dinner since they're on Spring Break. I don't even remember what they are... chicken dishes, I think. I'll eat the protein, and taste whatever else comes with it.

You'll have to let us know what you think of the meals. I've always wondered what they were like.

Good morning OHer's! I hope you are enjoy your cozy snow day JB! I've been enjoying our nice weather and the daylight savings. Last night we sat outside and watched the sunset, it was very nice and relaxing.

First day at the gym yesterday went well. I am now past the jitters for simply walking in the door, the locker room fears and the overwhelming cardio room. I just went from machine to machine and did my thing. I walked out of there so proud of myself. I don't know what I was so worried about but it was important that it go well as it sets the tone for my whole gym experience. I meet with a trainer next week to set me up on a weight circuit routine and I'm looking forward to that. Today I am taking a pilates class. It's been years and I used to love it, hoping I feel the same today.

QOTD - I make no bones about the fact that I cannot sing, but I do it anyway!

3+ months since surgery

b- coffee w/ heavy cream and SF hazelnut syrup

b2-bacon

l-salami and rosemary marcona almonds

d-chili verde w/cheddar cheese

Have a great day everyone!

Yay for gym day! I think that most people at the gyms are very supportive. Everyone is there for the same goal, I am happy for you!

Thank you! I agree, but it was like I had stage fright yesterday! Today should be much easier.

Great job getting back to the gym. Gymtimidation is real, but it only gets better!
