What's on your Wednesday Menu?

For those "I'm 99% sure it's allergies but I want to be safe" times I definitely recommend having a couple home tests on hand. They're like $20 for a 2 pack, which isn't nothing, but to me, it is worth the investment for peace of mind. Their accuracy rate is quite high.

I got them thank you for the suggestion. Work does not except them but your right peace of mind.

I went to a Rite-Aid and they did a test at the pharmacy drive through. It was quick and easy and thankfully negative.

yes i had my last one at Rite Aid and I did one today but I have to do 1 more Sunday for my work. DH is positive with no symptoms so I am guessing I'll be positive. hopefully it does not get worse.

I hope you feel better!

QOTD- My Mother has always struggled with her weight all of her life. She did Opti-Fast before me, but did none of the support group work and the weight loss was just unsustainable. My Dad was thin and also my brother. My Dad weighed the same since he was 18 but it did shift a bit. My brother is really thin and a little OCD he exercises like crazy and was doing Keto the last time I saw him. He was a body builder when he was younger. Surprisingly we never really talk about it.

I had an awful afternoon. I had done what I thought was a simple job, but the Engineer for that office complained that she couldn't understand it. I redid it and by that time my stomach was in knots. Of course she is on vacation so I got no response to my email at about 3:30PM which made my day 9 hours and my boss had already complained that I had spent too much time on this job, so add another 2 hours to it. And it takes time away from the job that I need to be working on. The joys of being a contractor....

I'm hoping for a calm day today, I don't like having my stoma*****nots.

Have a great day everyone!

hi all

late one for me. I had meetings this morning. and have one more i believe then I need to get to the post office and to the grocery store really quick. i also don't have much to prepare- charcuterie, sweet tea, and cutting up rice krispies to look like i made them lol. we don't eat till 1 so i will probably go to gym in the morning and take my time.

QOTD: everyone. My dad wasn't heavy till he got into his late 30's. My mom was always on the heavier side and so are my sisters.

food today:

b: coffee/ protein waffle

s:

l: leftover roast i didn't eat yesterday

s: ?

d:

G'morning all!

Today we are picking up the 4th member of the family from the airport and our quartet will be complete. Asked DS what he wants food wise and his response was "cant think of anything maybe a revel berry Yerba and some gummies would be nice"! I am dying to smother my kids with food and affection and this kid wants an energy drink and gummies!!!!

Yesterday DD and I went to see Spencer at the theatre. I hadn't been to a theatre since before the pandemic but we knew they wouldn't stream it. Although I was a little bit hesitant DD told me she had gone to the theatre in DC a couple of times and everybody is masked so no problem. I really felt bad for the theatre. There was only us and another couple watching the movie. COVID wise it was great, but I'm sure the business is suffering. I had thought the movie was about Lady Diana's whole life but it's only two days at Xmas time. It's more psychological than just relaying the facts. It was interesting and Kirsten Stewart did a good job - never liked her in the twilight series.

QOTD: I saw a meme very related to this and relatable ffor me. It said before you marry someone find out if their family drinks mimosas or runs 5ks on holiday mornings...I married into the 5K family! I am the only fatty. I used to hate going out for hikes with my family, because it looked like I had stolen food from the rest and starved them. My family in Italy is the same, again I was the only fatty one, that's why they couldn't understand why I had gained weight in US. My mom now that she is 80 years old has gained 10-15 lbs in the last 10 years because she is not moving around much.

My meals yesterday: did so much better than Monday.

• B: coffee + barebells bar
• L: fage yogurt + hb egg
• S: mocha diabla(mocha with cayenne pepper, cinnamon and some other spices with macadamia milk)
• D: innards of two tacos
• E: nope - nothing

Happy hump day and if I don't post tomorrow morning have a great thanksgiving!

I am going to have to try that mocha diabla

I'm working, but we get out at noontime today and have the day after Thanksgiving off. WooHoo.

QOTD: Two of my sisters and my brother struggle with their weight. My mom has always been slim. Some of my aunts and cousins had weight problems. But they all yo yo diet.

These pictures are for Teenie. I finally remembered to bring my phone with me a couple of times to get pictures of the piggies.

And one of Miss Meisha. This pup is growing so fast. She turns 5 months tomorrow and is already 45.5lbs. She is so smart and starts her next round of training on the 30th. She lays down and waits for her breakfast and dinner. I have her half switched over to a full RAW diet and she loves it. We bought a shot gun a few weeks ago and hope to grab a couple of deer from the corn field.
