What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Love the birthday balloons, I'll have to use that in the future! And the co-worker in the box sounds very funny. Good ones!

Good morning menu friends! Breakfast in and Lily and I will head out in abit. We'll do 2.5 miles this morning and another 2 miles tonight at least. QOTD I've got nothing. Accountability good on the eating front but only got 8,211 steps in yesterday as it rained in the evening so Miss Lily andI didn't have a chance to walk much after supper. Post op 5 years 11 months and weight at 119.4. Heres the food B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 4 oz deli turkey and cheese 3 baby carrots D 4 oz strip steak 1/2:c corn (fresh summer treat) S sm apple with 1 T peanut butter. Have a great day full of smart choices everyone! Time for a walk now!

Morning all! Back in the office today trying to walk on my broken toe. I have my running shoes on but brought my splint and sandals in case the supportive shoe doesn't cut it.

JB, I am sorry that things are so hard at work. Swinging chickens your way that things improve! Please take the time to eat something and to drink. You can't be at your best without it and you need all the strength you can get.

I spent most of yesterday in bed with my foot up watching TV. Unfortunately, the hours of TV was a really bad idea. I was watching the BBC show, Happy Valley on Netflix and it really got into my head and messed with me. It was only hours later that I realized that I had become depressed and anxious and should have turned it off hours before. Does that ever happen to anyone else? I can just get too sucked into the plot sometimes.

Accountability: WAY too many snacks yesterday while watching TV. All meat and protein bars, but WAY too many that I wasn't even hungry for.

Menu:

B1: vanilla Premier Protein shake, coffee, 5 almonds

B2: HB egg, turkey sausage patty

Snack: Cappuccino protein shake, chomps

Lunch: fish, chickpea salad

Snack: turkey breast, apple

Dinner: not sure

Exercise: as little as possible!

I didn't hear the broken toe news? what happened?

I wish I could say that I broke it kicking the heavy bag in class, but in truth, I was vacuuming on Sunday afternoon and knocked a shelf down on my right big toe. It is definitely broken and painful and I am being very gentle with it...no exercise this week! I've been icing and elevating it and have a popsicle splint taped to it. Fortunately I haven't had alot of swelling but putting weight on it is a constant reminder that cleaning is DANGEROUS! And should be avoided at all cost!

I'm so sorry! feel better!

Oh my, Janet, so sorry to hear about your broken toe! OUCH!

Thanks Karen. Because I have to walk alot more in the office, my poor toe is really aching as the day goes on.

I thought Happy Valley was very well done, very suspensful, all seasons, and I think Sarah Lancashire is an impressive actress (showing my age to say actress - But I don't care). But I absolutely know what you mean - I routinely turn shows off in the middle, because I have a low tolerance for creepiness and none at all for horror. Basically, I don't like to be scared, and if things seem too close to home for me in one way or another that's the end of viewing for me. I tried watching Luther because I like Idris Elba. Though it's very well done, some of the villainy is so frighteningly plausible yet simultaneously sofreaky that I simply can'****ch it. I still sometimes think about how scary a couple of those episodes I had to stop watching were.

Happy Valley was so well done that I was watching it for hours and couldn't stop. I got completely sucked in and wrapped up in all the characters. It wasn't overly bloody like many American action & cop shows but the intensity and the twistedness were just overwhelming. I find that even more than 24 hours after I cut myself off that I want to sneak in my office and watch more episodes, knowing full well that I need to no****ch. James Norton's character Tommy gets in my head, especially after his "good guy" roles (Grantchester).
