G'morning all!
Swinging chickens for Grim!!! And what beautiful pics of him, and you. Sounds like you guys had a wonder time away.
We had a very restful and no plans weekend. Sometimes you need one of these weekends to just laze around and/or catch up with errands. I did both and I am ready for a very productive week.
QOTD - I meal prep my icecreams, does that count? Every afternoon I need to decide what flavor I want for the next day, prep it and put it in the freezer. I'm very proud of myself.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee + Barebells bar
- Costco chicken skewers & cucumbers
- Protein icecream - caramel pecan
- Tuna pouch + Wilde chips
- E: 5 miles wog (took Sat as my rest day)
Happy start of the week!

I thought you were a vet at 5 years, not 10? Either way, congratulations!!

Good morning, everybody!
Looks like a great birthday weekend, hope everything goes smoothly for Grim today.
I had just the weekend that I needed to have. Caught up on triathlon stuff after two weekends away, battled the parslane successfully, did a bit of house organizing and watched the Olympics. Marilyn joined me on my bicycle ride yesterday. Friday's crab and tortellini dinner came out fantastic. My son was a little disappointed that we had to use crab meat instead of getting whole Dungeness crabs, but, hey, we are in the midwest. And it was 100% real crab. We paired it with a glass of Blanc de Blanc and it was heavenly.
Two weeks until the triathlon. This will be my last week of grinding (5 Crossfit, 4 swim, 2 run, one ride). Next week I will taper off with a few days of total rest before the event on Sunday morning.
I think that I said that we are going to Asia in September. Last night one of our friends sent us a 9 course Chinese meal, with pairings, at the hotel in Bangkok that we are staying at. As good as it looks, I just don't know how many course I would be able to eat, even if they are small and I am just taking a few bites. It pains me, but I think that i am going to have to pass. Unfortunately, I don't think that it is the kind of thing where 3 at the table order special dinner and I order off of the menu.
Today is my second to last swim class. I really want to wear my suit for it, so I'm going to try and swing by the house so that Marilyn can zip me.
QOTD: Not very good. But I never was, so its not like there has been a slippage.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: Catered
Dinner: Hamburgers
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning! I'm glad you had a great weekend and I'm sending all the good vibes to Grim today and I hope you feel better soon. We had a low key weekend and John smoked another yummy Tri tip so I'm set for the week. Yesterday was my 10 year surgiversary so am I officially a vet now? I spent some time thinking about the last 10 years and just how different things are. I am not exactly where I want to be and have let some bad habits back in (looking at you high carb low protein snacks like handfuls of cereal and chips) but I'm not where I was and am proud of that. I'll keep fighting that's for sure.
QOTD: As my menu shows I pretty much eat the same thing every weekday for breakfast and lunch. For dinner we usually make a protein on the grill/smoker that gets us through at least the first 1/2 of the week.
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: Tri tip salad with avocado, a banana, and dark chocolate
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 20 mins Pilates bar
V/W: On track
Totals: Cals:1311 Protein:103 Carbs:129 Fat:50
Have a great day!

Good mornin everyone! QJB, hope you feel better and sending Grim all the best wishes. Please let us know how it goes!
Nothing much planned for the day. The only thing I have to do is run by a post office. Other than that nothing we have to do. I had a difficult night and honestly wouldn't know a good one if it bit me in the ass. lol. It was a difficult weekend. My niece Rachel is having a hard time at home. She is the odd man out. I'll never understand parents who show favoritism so blatantly! I am deeply disappointed with my brother. The biggest issue is laziness but there is other stuff involved of course. Such heavy things and we will have to have a talk with my brother and maybe SIL. I'll just say this...the counseling for hoarding did jack crap.
QOTD: not much in way of this and I need to get back to it as well.
B: eggs, coffee and maybe a ton of ice
L: chicken
D: fish of some sort.
meme for Grim!

Good morning - Looks like you guys had a great weekend! I hope Grims procedure goes well and he is recovers quickly. I had a very nice weekend. The only thing missing was a nap. Pre-season football is meh-okay, but is really the dangling carrot of the season to come and that is exciting! Busy week - lots to do, plans to change, meetings and deadlines. Work work work, fun fun fun.
QOTD - I used to cook prep, now just plan/put together my meals for work using frozen RGF entrees, deli ham/cheese keto bread sandwiches, salad kits w/ precooked meat like chicken bites from costco or rotisserie chicken and leftovers sometimes. I've found shortcuts and easy things I really like that make it less daunting over the years. Easy and good.
Accountability - I snacked on things I had no business eating, 34 active minutes, 10,113 steps. Today I am 168.8, 35 minutes on the treadmill done, will rebound tonight while watching the news.
B - coffee, protein shake, cottage cheese and tomato
l - chicken bites and cucumber salad
d - leftover beef stew and low carb tortilla
s- apple + PB
Have a great day!
