What are your tattoos? Please tell me you have or want to get a penguin?!

Good mornin everyone.

Birthday party for my nephew today. Cake is made and just needs the icing.

The iron isn't agreeing with me. It's the proferrin but it's really not doing well with me, I guess the next step is patches. I'll buy them at the first of the month. My stomach is just torn up.

QOTD: I want some but just haven't jumped the gun. I want my grandparents names in their writing. I also want some cat prints of my Otis boy,

food is just up in the air. There will be donuts at the party too. I may have a part of one.

Mornin' Weekenders!

my cookbook club meets today. We're making things from Ellie Krieger's books. I'm making "nutty oat bars". I was going to double the recipe so DH and I would have some of them at home, but they're 250 kcal each, so no (lots of nuts and seeds in addition to those oats - healthy, but pretty high in calories). Otherwise, not much going on, but I'm going to try to finish my book for my book discussion group that meets on Monday morning, and maybe get a bike ride in if the weather cooperates.

QOTD: no - never had any desire to.

coffee with half & half

plain skyr with fruit

protein shake or protein muffin

just checked the cookbook club roster and what people are planning on bringing (small group today! Might be a good thing - less chance to overeat) - curried chicken salad, apple muffins, picnic pasta salad, chickpea & farro salad, watermelon with herbed goat cheese whip, and one "I don't know yet". I'll try a little of everything. And I mean "a little". The last one I attended I ended up in the bathroom throwing up. At least I know my surgery still works!!

if I have dinner at all (given the big, late lunch), it'll be either Greek yogurt or part of a sushi roll

have a great Saturday!!

Good morning ~ What's happening weekenders? I'm feeling so much better and had a great day off yesterday. My son ended up having to work, so I was on my own and it was lovely. I watched the Perfect Couple and though it was good but not what I was expecting because it turns out I hadn't read the book. Still, I was expecting the authors regular cast of characters in it and there were none but would still recommend. JB was right about the Nantucket *****mg gorgeous! Today we are decorating for Halloween. I have things I need to do around here and a Target run. Otherwise, I may hole up and watch YouTube videos.

QOTD - Do you have tattoos? What are they? If not - Do you want one? what would you get? I love tattoos on other people and was considered a never-ever for myself, but I am always thinking of what I would get and where I would put it. I'm thinking a 4 leaf clover or a shamrock either on my wrist or ankle. I used to want to hid it, but now i want to see it. Small and brightly colored. I really want to do it now.

Accountability - great on food, and it was a rest day. Today I am 166.0 and no plans for exercise even though I'm feeling better and have nothing but time... Okay, I will do something today.

b- coffee, eggs and toast

l - leftover sushi

d-grilled pork chops and mexican corn the cob

s - watermelon, quest chips, edamame

Have a great day!
