Good morning everybody!
With the convention, we have the choice as to whether to come in to the office this week or work from home. Since I leave early on Mondays for open water swim class, I decided to come in this morning and take off early. I will work from home Tuesday through Thursday and be back in town for the weekend on Friday.
Had a great weekend, mostly training and fishing. This week, I will taper off: 2 swims, 2 runs, and 2 CrossFit classes. Nothing on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. There are a few seminars that I need to attend on Saturday and bicycle drop off is Saturday evening. One thing I know for certain is that in a room full of bicycles, nobody is going to steal mine.
Tommorow I have an interview at the airport for Global Entry.
QOTD: meat and vegetables made me large, but sugar made me fat.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Hamburgers
Have a great day, all!

Good morning all and Happy Monday,
It's a beautiful day in DNC hosting Chicago. I was chosen for Late Show w Stephen Colbert tickets on Wednesday night. Hakeem Jeffries is the guest. I'm looking forward to it. I do need to find out the time commitment though. I'm supposed to be there at 7:30 and if we need to stay until after it airs, we will be there past midnight. Tonight is Hillary Clinton and I would have really liked to see her guest.
I'm chalk full of medical appts today; Pain Management Doctor, Orthopedic Doctor, Therapist, Physical Therapy. I'm expected to be wore out by the end of my day.
QOTD- Yes. I gained almost my weight consistently binging on sweets and savories. I say binging because eating everything in sight all the time counts as a decade's long binge.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.
L: Fairlife Shake
D: sushi.
I didn't post Friday so here are pics for my fancy pants dinner last week.

Good morning and happy Monday! I haven't posted in a while, but I know that I need to for accountability.
We had a wonderful and busy weekend. My daughter and I had a garage sale on Friday. We met so many nice people and made around $300. My son flew home from Georgia. He has been away for military training. It was nice to have both of my kids and granddogs home.
QOTD- I would say savory and sweet both. Carbs have always been my downfall. I loved all the salty, cheesy and crunchy things. I can't have cheeze its in the my house or sourdough bread. I have zero willpower.
Accountability- Not enough water and too many White Claws. I have been gaining and losing the same 5 lbs for the past few months and I know that I need to not drink. I am going to be 50 in 2 months and I want to be my best. So, I have decided to take a break from drinking. I am going to talk to my counselor about it when I see her Tuesday and get a plan moving forward.
Food plan for today-
Eggs and cottage cheese
chicken inside a low carb wrap, laughing cow cheese, lettuce and dill pickle
tri tip, broccoli, tomatoes from the garden
protein jello
Vitamins and lots of water
Good Morning! I hope you're feeling better today, JB. Take it as easy as possible. I got to have Em stay here over the weekend and for a few more days, not ideal cir****tances but one of her roommates has Covid and with Em's shift supervisor training starting today she thought it was a good idea to be cautious. I am ready to start the new work week and am hopeful that the stresses of last week are in the past.
QOTD: Sweets for me.
TSS: 10 years
B: SF latte, Fiber/protein oatmeal, turkey sausage, 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: Either spaghetti with zucchini "noodles" or avocado and cottage cheese on Swedish flatbread.
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 20 mins Pilates bar
V/W: On track
Totals: TBD
Have a great day!

G'morning all!
Oh no JB, hopefully it was just a bug that is now passed. Losing weight because you are sick is no fun.
We had a pretty busy weekend.
On Saturday one of DH's oldest friends turned 60, they are 4 months apart and they were crib mates. There are pics of the two of them in side by side cribs. So the guy for his big 6-0 bday requested all the invitees to go SUPing. We launched from the famous shark park, thank goodness no sharks in sight but so many seals. You could almost play Whac-A-Mole with them; one seal would pop up and upon seeing us would go under water, then another seal would pop up. They were so cute. After the ocean activities we all went home got changed and went back to their house for a taco truck party. All in all great time with great friends.
Here is a pic of DH and his buddy when they were 10-12 years old and Sat night. We should have taken a pic of them on the beach but I forgot.
On Sunday I had my brunch with my moms group, was hoping for a rigorous beach walk but we were gabbing so much that time flew and we all headed home.
QOTD - hands down sweets. Icecream, cookies, chocolate.
My meals yesterday: (I'm kinda embarrassed about my food intake but that's why I do "the day before" so I can be totally honest)
- Iced Coffee + croissant
- Jerky
- Protein icecream - latte w/caramel
- E: strength training
Happy start of the week!

Good morning ~ Hope you feel better JB and congrats on the loss! I had an amazing weekend. I made all my favorite healthy foods, walked, relaxed, sunned, read, shopped til' I dropped, finally watch the rest of House of Dragon, got a facial and massage, had a glass of wine and even bought a lotto ticket. It was as restorative weekend for sure. I woke up very stiff and sore but my skin is soft and I can't see any pores on my nose - I'll take it.
Today I have a ton to do at work, rinse and repeat...
QOTD - Body by salty, fried foods - tacos, fries and chips mostly. I did love Ben and Jerry's and candy but that would only be 10% of 'body by' pie.
Accountability - extra-extra crackers and a thoroughly enjoyed glass of wine. 10 active minutes, 5,955 steps. I don't know how I got stand credits while not wearing my watch for 3 hours yesterday, but okay. Today I'm 168.2 and bloated! No planned exercise, but may take a work walk if time allows. Too stiff (and lazy) for the treadmill today, but definitely will tomorrow - setting intentions here.
B- coffee, protein shake, legendary pastry
l - chicken caesar bowl w/extra added chicken
d- ham steak, mashed potatoes and peas
s - watermelon, nectarine
Have a great day!

Good mornin everyone! Sorry to hear about you. Ot feeling well yesterday, hoping today brings complete recovery.
My mom has an appointment today with her cardiologist. Then we need to pick the kids up from school. That's all the planned activities. I woke up from a dream that I had been shot in the right shoulder. Woke up crying because it was hurting so much. I am so completely exhausted and tired of pain. Just keep swimming.
QOTD: if I had to pick one it'd be savory
B: eggs, cheese, chicken and coffee x3
L: enchilada(I used low carb flour tortillas ) and ???
D: probably a chicken wrap with cheese and peach bourbon BBQ sauce
S: strawberries, hummus and a small naan
that's me in the weather we're dealing with. Over 100° for at least the next week, they're saying we'll most likely break the record for most consecutive days of 100° + days....oh joy,

Good morning gang. I'm hoping to have a good shop day today, and get back to a normal activity level. Leaving in a few to bring JB to the train, then I'll get to it. I went to see the Deadpool movie yesterday -- it is not for kids. The popcorn was delicious.
Have a great day.
