Safe travels!

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a fantastic hump day! I was planning on a WFH day today but one of my coworkers called out sick so I think I should go in so that we have a senior team member in the office. I don't mind--it's been a super productive week and I am excited to keep it going :)

We haven't been to a Knockouts game in over a month! The last time they were in town the weather was extremely hot, and sitting in 100+degree weather didn't sound fun. Then whenever they've been in town, we've been away, so it hasn't worked out. My poor player must be so sad that no one is cheering for him like a maniac. Anyway, tonight's weather looks good, and I think it's the last game we'll be able to get to so we're going! Yay for baseball.

QOTD: Did you grow up with parents who were good cooks? My mom used to read cookbooks like other people read novels. She loved them. We never had much money, so she had to get creative to try to adapt recipes but she loved cooking. Soup was her specialty and she made some great things :) About 8 years ago she found a group of besties who also love cooing and they formed a Gourmet Gals group and put on the most insane fancy dinners once a month. It's so cute.

Accountability: I prioritized drinking water like a champ yesterday. I think I had about 60oz. I am sure thats not much for the rest of you, but it's at last 3 times more than I usually have. I'm sure it helped get me properly hydrated and I was not hungry at all. I made chicken for dinner and was full after about 3 bites. My fat cat swopped in and ate the rest for me. Thanks, Innie.

• protein coffee
• egg bite
• almonds, salami, & cheese
• ?? dinner at the game. I've heard they added a lot to the menu since the last time we were there so hopefully there are better options. If not, I will get chicken tenders.

Good morning all and Happy Wednesday,

I had an amazing evening last night. I took Emily to a French fine dining restaurant for a chef's tasting menu. This was from the Olympic contest that I won. The whole night was whimsical. I walked her to the train and reflected upon the evening on the ride home.

QOTD- 6 months ago. Street sweeping. They put up the sign overnight and I got ticketed right at 8:01am. *******s.

B: tangerine. Protein shake.

L: leftovers

D: cochinita pibil, if I can give tube to make it.

Good morning! The house is Quiet and Clean this morning! And quiet and clean it stall stay. Loved having the grands, love sending them home. Momma and Daddy had a great trip, but are now back on parent duty and I'm back to official retirement. However, Roger got roped into being a coach on the littlest's softball team, so he has batting practice tonight. LOL.

Accountability food wise was great yesterday. But I did have celebratory wine for surviving the 10 days. And the only exercise I did was packing them up and cleaning up after them. Not a lot of steps, 6820, but like 20 flights of stairs from running up and down them to get organized.

Today is grocery shopping for me. And I don't have to buy one damn carby thing. Yay. I cleaned lots of stuff out yesterday for trash day and I'll end up throwing more out this week because it will be stale. But none of that stuff is calling my name and the Peanut M&M's are one Roger snack away from being gone. Whew!

QoTD: I don't think I have ever gotten a parking ticket. I got a speeding ticket at 18. And I got pulled over when I was in my 30's for speeding. The cop was so young looking I asked him if his Momma knew he carried a gun. Roger tried to get him to haul me off to jail, but I was let go with a warning.

Bites today. I'm excited because I don't know yet!

B: bacon, egg, cottage cheese

L: either the last of the turkey deli meat and cheese or a TJ's surprise

D: Let's see what is calling my name at TJ's.

Peace Everybody.

Oh, I entered one of our toll lanes not at the beginning and that ticket was stupid expensive!
