What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Lovely work!

Thank you!

Love your pics and hope everything works out with the heater. I know there are a lot of organizations that give free water heaters to families in need. Do a little googling or call your town hall!

Thanks so much! The plumbers won't be out till Thursday but we figured out how to pay for it. Things will just be tight for a while!

Good morning everyone and it's the final Fri-yay for 2022. How did that happen?

I was feeling that meme this morning but got myself downstairs to a quick and hard rowing session, I had to motivate myself that if I did a 20 minute session that this afternoon I can do a nice long stretching pilates series so that will be my made it to the end of the year reward. I was looking at my equipment stats this morning and I need to get 4 miles on the rower tomorrow and I will have rowed 200 miles this year. Clearly, I will get 4 miles on the rower tomorrow. I probably am already there but my workout yesterday crashed during the cool down and it didn't record that distance and if it's not recorded it doesn't count, even though I know it.

QOTD - 2022 was a good year for me - I changed roles at work; I visited Antarctica and Maine, checking off my 7th continent and my 50th state; I spent amazing fun times with friends and loved ones from Maine to SE Colorado; I know that I am fitter and stronger at 50 than I was at 49 and I seem to have finally become one of "those" exercise people. All in all, I'm just going to say 2022 as a whole was the best thing. QJB - yes, getting out of that toxic place was a great move but I think you're taking steps to get out of your last school which was pretty much focused on trying to kill you AND getting out of that place AND putting together a plan to give yourself more options by going back to school was incredible and amazing. You are killing it at your new approach and business.

Long weekend ahead after getting done with today's work, I try to log off at 2 on Fridays since I start so early and today will probably not be a day where someone schedules a late breaking meeting, it's going to be slow. I have a good of restoring and planning activities planned for the weekend so I will hit 2023 running!

Menu today will be

coffee plus half and half X 2

morning round with PB

yogurt

turkey and cheese slices

I finish antibiotics for my tooth issue this morning so I think there's a rye old fashioned on my evening menu too.

For the final photo friday, here's a bit of a photo dump of my favorite pictures this year! I want to order a few for the walls so I've been going through so many....deciding is hard though!

Some of my favorites from Antarctica (including the one and only time my picture will be taken by a National Geographic photographer)

Some of my favorites from Maine (I think Grim took the one of the three of us....Grim or the sneaky Secret Service guy).

and finally some of my favorites from here in Colorado

These pics are absolutely fantastic. I think my favorite is the penguin one. Great job on that 400 miles!

Thank you! Chinstraps are my favorite penguins! They have so much personality!

Great photos Jen. And as always your commitment to exercise is amazing.

Thank you!!

Jen, your pictures are amazing!!
