What's on your Thursday Menu?
Hello QJB and Menu Friends,
Not much to report here. I did my first official weightlifting workout at work yesterday (not counting the machine circuit the day before). I am soooo weak compared to pre-WLS! Definitely need to get stronger. A few meetings this morning through to lunch, otherwise the usual paperwork at my desk. I am thinking of working from home tomorrow.
QOTD: When we were in Las Vegas, it drove me crazy how the drivers wouldn't let other drivers merge into their lane. So annoying. In places with lots of traffic it is important that drivers be considerate and allow others to merge over. Don't speed up to prevent it!
Accountability: Excellent
B: triple zero greek yogurt with berries, keto granola, cold brew with half n half
L: Asian chicken salad with light sesame ginger dressing
D: Summer berry salad with chicken, light poppy seed dressing
E: Leg weight workout, 60 min hot yoga
Have an excellent pre-Friday!

I am not lifting with DS. I am sneaking down to the gym at work to do a quick and dirty 30-minute lifting routine. DS is very regimented with his lifting and insists on going at a specific time, which is when I want to do yoga after work. Plus, his workouts are longer than I want to do. DH is his lifting partner.

Good morning. It's another cold and dreary day here. And I love it. We so seldom get to experience "weather". I just need to figure out my workout around it.
Dinner last night was indeed celebratory and fun. Lots of laughing and story telling and a great toast to the kid. I'm very glad this season is behind me based on the calendar. I will keep marching forward and know the sun will start to shine brighter for me. I ended up with a 3.5 mile walk and yoga class yesterday. Roger went to yoga with me, but forgot to turn on his tracker, so I agree, it doesn't count. HA!
Today we have to clean out the closet and the bathroom upstairs as paint starts tomorrow. I went and picked the colors and I am happy my choices. We have the girls until tomorrow afternoon and no other plans. Maybe a kids movie on Netflix this afternoon?
My for reals accountability is I added 2 Hershey kisses and for dinner I ended up with 2/3 of a burger patty and cheese, 1 slice of bacon, 2 onion rings and 6 french fries. Not terrible, but not on plan either. And, no wine! Yay me.
QoTD: I hate when people travel in the far right lane on the freeway (highway?, interstate?) That lane is for merging into traffic from on ramps. Get the hell over. Other than that, I am a very chill driver and very rarely get annoyed or upset.
My menu plan today is:
B: currently cooking orange cinnamon rolls, but that is for the girls. I'll have an HB egg, some cottage cheese and a side of carrots
L: avocado/orange/walnut salad with a side of protein ships for scooping.
D: I've got a gigantic pork shoulder about to go in the oven, plus I plan on making chicken white bean soup today. Those will hold us over for several days with a side of fresh veggies. Expect to see lots of pork this next week on my menu.
Peace everybody!

Could use some urgent prayers.
I think I have the starting of a spinal headache. I just had the weirdest sensation happen when I was putting my recliner back. It's hard to describe. I'm drinking tons of caffeine.
I'm really quite upset. Please pray it stays at bay. That I don't have to go to the ER.
