Good luck at the DMV, I hope it goes smooth. I just replied to the other post but to answer this QOTD: I tend to walk more outside and try and enjoy fresh air during breaks when I can.

Good Morning! You are always very busy, how do you do it?! I have a few meetings today and then I am contimplating asking to WFHa few hours tomorrow to take care of a few daily reports but taking most of the day off- we will see what today looks like and if I have any action items after my meetings today.
QOTD: I disklike mushrooms and I don't think I could get it out of my head even if everyone says it doesn't taste like mushrooms. I am curios on what you think though.
Menu- same as yesterday and exercise is also done. Water and vits are on track.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning all and Happy Tuesday,
We're already one day closer to the weekend!
We had severe thunderstorms last night and the rain was torrential. I sat with the dog, watching as the storm wrapped it's tight grasp around Chicago. It was Awesome.
The storm is setting the stage for lower temps, which are very welcome.
Twenty minutes ago, I snagged a coveted , elusive DMV appt for 9:30. My morning will now be spent waiting at the DMV to get a new license with my current address. My license expires in November so two birds, one stone, one happy Matt.
QOTD- As Summer is starting to be on the outs, how does your outdoor physical activity change to reflect the new weather, amount of daylight, and changing of seasons?
In the summer, getting physical activity in is easy, as I don't need to count steps when being at fests, farmers markets, beaches, parks, walking the dog and casually strolling around different neighborhoods. I'm a lot more active in summer, knowing the Chicago 100 days of summer goes very quick.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, cherries.
L: Rib tips and beans. Salad.
D: Chicken marsala and mushrooms, green beans.
Have a Vünderbar Tuesday y'all.
HW: 371 SW(8/9/21): 324 CW: 208 lbs 0 lbs til goal of skin reduction surgery. I'm still looking for a new plastic surgeon.

Happy Tuesday Gang. We ended up doing a quick session of just the weight machines at the Y last night because I had taken a quarter of one of the pigs out of the freezer and had to get it cut up and grind what I wanted to make into sausage and such. It's a time consuming job, but I'm trying to clear out one of the freezers to make room for chickens we will be doing in a couple of months. There is no rest for the wicked. LOL
I'm back in the scale house today and tomorrow, but at least I don't have anything to do outside in the heat. I plan on cleaning up a little more in here and Renee is supposed to be back next Wednesday.
QOTD: Has anyone here ever tried RYZE mushroom coffee? I've seen commercials for it for a while now and finally decided to get some. I'm trying it today for the first time so will let you all know tomorrow how it is. Supposedly it helps with brain fog, focus, energy, and digestion.
B: coffee and squash and eggs
L: ham and cheddar wrap and trying the RYZE coffee
D: salad with pork burgers
treadmill and swimming at the Y
Have a great day everyone!!

Most of the blueberries are froze to be used in yogurt and other things this Winter. I did make two lemon blueberry loaves one got frozen the other one was gone in two days lol. The peaches I just grabbed because I know how much Irvin loves them.
Fresh seafood is the biggest perk of living in New England. When we have the time we go fishing and clamming which is a lot of fun.

- PS- well this was a first...Pouchie closed up today. I had that few bites of super chopped cottage cheese chicken salad this afternoon, no bueno and I had to get it out. Luckily a canned protein shake was chilled, that worked fine. The propofol shut it down? That's never happened after a colonoscopy before.
Thank you so much!

Congratulations on your surgiversary! That was 11 years of hard work you put in so celebrate it and enjoy your good health.
Happy Monday! Glad you got to go picking blueberry picking finally. It is nearly bend-over peach season here in our agri-tourism area (Greenbluff, Wa) and they will be yummy. Worth every carb. Are you planning any great desserts with the blueberries and peaches?
All your meal pics looked so delicious. Really good seafood here isn't actually fresh unless you're a millionaire and can have it flown over from the coast.
QOTD: Well I presume the yacht comes with a staff, that does sound attractive but I have to go with a tow-behind camper. That's the vacations I grew up on and I can visualize going with Hubby where he could fish and I could sit inside with my Singer Featherweight and sew, sew, sew with the fresh air wafting or snug inside during a snowstorm. He's outdoorsy and I'm indoorsy...I can see it working!
Had a colonoscopy again this morning and so ticked that I finally had the chance to get to know my true weight without...you know. But they have their process so streamlined that they only ask what it is and take your word for it! lol Now just to wait for the test results which will most likely be good since the dr. said I could wait for 5 years for the next one. That beats the previous timelines they had me on by a mile.
B: The delicious other half of the GaviLyte prep and some water
L: 5 green beans, tried to eat some healthy chicken salad but only managed about a tablespoon.
D: Maybe a Fairlife shake and some chicken broth that I didn't drink over the weekend. Just not hungry today.
Heat advisory today and tomorrow 97/98. It will be perfect for the funeral Friday-- 80 and a few showers.
Tomorrow will be back to my normal protein shake to start the day. It is so much easier to diet in the summer when I can have that giant frosty shake and fresh veggies from the garden.
Enjoy your day, everybody. I'm going to take a nap!
