What's on your Menu today (Monday) RNYers?
one more week before the students are back, and my good friend whom I've had so much fun with this summer is headed back home to Istanbul tomorrow. So feeling a bit bummed. Where has the summer gone? Can I survive another semester? Although I usually get so busy once it's underway that it's Thanksgiving before I know it!
QOTD: hmmm...interesting question...I really don't know! I think I enjoy my creature comforts too much to time travel (even going back 50 years would seem intolerable). I loved studying British history, though - even the ancient stuff - so maybe some of the ancient tribes there? I enjoyed my ancient Greek history classes, too.
2 years 2 months out (maintenance)
B: homemade yogurt that flopped, so I made it into overnight oats (thanks NYMom22!) with fresh raspberries and blueberries
S: coffee with half & half, peanut butter/butterscotch protein/Miralax shake (also contains some flopped yogurt)
L: tuna/chickpea salad, peach
D: Caprese salad, maybe an ear of corn (maybe...)
if I have enough calories, a Greek yogurt or protein shake, but I'm going to be cutting it close...
ex: yoga
Good Morning Protein Pals :) Weekend was good, enjoying the last rays of summer sunshine and floating/swimming in my pool as much as possible
I have some irons in the stove as they say about new employment I am working on this week... we will see. I also bought paint Friday to paint my son's room and furniture. Room is spackled, just need to clean up the spackle dust and get going.
I bought a T-shirt at Target last night I love- so soft and love the saying from Harry Potter- Something to the effect of: I don't go looking for trouble- Trouble seems to find me. :)
Have been in a re-evaluation phase of my diet...due to ongoing low protein-even though I eat plenty and muscle loss- even though I lift heavy things :) The journey continues.
Trying out a few new low carb recipes today both from Food.com
QOTD: Hands down Egypt. Always fascinated me... the pyramids and the pharaohs...
B: Usual Latte- Fairlife/miralax/MCT oil Food.com one minute flaxmuffin, 1 egg
L: Salad: kale mix and persian cucumber with grilled chicken, hummus, Mediterranean goat cheese
D: Low carb Chili from food.com but made with ground turkey, shred cheddar, sauteed veggies
S: passion tea with coconut milk and SF vanilla syrup, celery with cream cheese, mint cookie and cashew milk protein drink, Premier protein hot chocolate with half and half.
Ex: Gym and swimming

Hi All, still super busy at work with not much time to check in these days...
QOTD: I would love to visit any of the ancient civilizations including China, Greece, Rome, Peru. But just for a day--I am pretty attached to indoor plumbing ;)
Haven't had a minute to enter anything into MFP--pretty sure it adds up okay, though...I'll adjust if I need to, later.
