What's on you Tuesday menu RNYer's?
One of the ladies on our trip had gone to China and didn't want to miss anything. She said that she packed a family sized case of peanut butter crackers from Costco and just ate those whenever she was in doubt.

The first time my brother went to Venezuela he was wary of most of the food. There is a little packet of crackers Club Social and they are on every resturant table like bread is in the US. When my brother could not find anything else to eat, he filled up on the Club Social crackers.
A year later his mother-in-law came to the US to visit him. She was so proud to open one suitcase that was completely filled with Club Social crackers and told him she bought them because she knew he loved them so much.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I took a jar of peanut butter with me when I went to South Africa for a summer to volunteer (this was 20-some years ago). I was assigned to a very rural village up near the Zimbabwe border, and I read that the specialty there was Mopani worms, which are actually caterpillars. No way in hell was I going to eat a caterpillar, so I figured I'd eat peanut butter on "caterpillar nights". I was offered them several times, but fortunately, they never pushed me. (funny thing - they asked me if I'd ever eaten crawdads (AKA crawfish, crayfish). I said yes, but explained that they're mostly eaten in Louisiana, so I haven't had them too often. They were making all these barfing sounds and going on and on about how disgusting they were. Ha ha. Food is such a cultural thing...

Good Morning! Yum tacos. I found out yesterday that someone in another department had to have emergency gallbladder surgery and she has nobody as a back-up. One of my team members has done that job in the past so they are pulling him to cover that role temporarily so I'll cover his stuff for this payroll week. All of my other projects have to get set back again but it's all about teamwork.
I feel ya on the strength training, I'm a cardio girl at heart! I do enjoy my Pilates bar tome stretching now but I started it when I couldn't do a full 1/2 hour on the elliptical because of my ankle. I'm glad your pain is better and know you'll put together a schedule that works for you. I also want to take walks on break now that it's cooling down but I allow the work chaos to consume me and don't get away from my desk like I should.
QOTD: I don't think I have a clear answer. I'd like to take little portions of each era and piece it together. I would say about 6-8 years ago but there were times then that Em and I fought like cats/dogs and now I love our relationship that we have so I can't give that up.
TSS: 10 years 2 months
B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit
S: Mixed nuts, a piece of fruit and yogurt
D: Homemade smoked sausage (beef/pork), broccoli and cheese, a banana, and dark chocolate
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical, 1 mile on treadmill and 20 mins Pilates bar
V/W: On track

Have a great day!

Good Morning! I'm at my desk and somehow feel like I've forgotten everything that seemed so urgent on Friday. 3 day weekends are good for that.
QOTD: I couldn't possibly choose. I have had lots of wonderful years I would love to revisit. But 2017 was a great one. I was at my lowest post op weight and just moved in with Grim :) I know it's probably controversial but 2020 was pretty great too. I had never worked from home before and it was glorious to have so many extra hours in the day.
Accountability: I had 2 cookies in Maine.
- protein coffee & a few bites of leftover cheeseburger
- egg white egg bite
- babybel cheese & apple slices
- 1oz. beef short ribs & broccolini
