Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Thursday, 2/1/2018

My local museum is free on the first Thursday of every month and it's been a while since I last visited, so my roommate and I are going after work today. It should be a lot of fun!

QOTD: I've been reading a lot of mindless romances lately, because I've needed to disengage my brain a bit. But the last book of substance I read and loved was Hunger by Roxane Gay. Highly recommend! Not the most positive reflection of WLS, but really her thoughts on it were very brief and more of a "not for me" standpoint. And the rest of the book really resonated.

M1: Premier Protein + Cold Brew

M2: Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad + String Cheese

M3: Cottage Cheese

M4: Epic Bar

M5: 1/2 a Protein Bar

QOTD: What book are you reading right now? What's it about? Would you recommend it? If you're not reading anything at the moment, what was the last book you really enjoyed? Reading this cozy mystery series by Emma Watts called the "Witches of Crystal Cove". It is just a nice, easy read, no real violence and easy on the brain cells. No thinking, no worrying....

Today, is an all liquid day, AGAIN, until my body starts cooperating. Have been on so much Miralax, Colace, Ducolax, magnesium citrate and...tonight I start GoLitely. (I'm having PTSD just thinking about it!) If no "movement" by tomorrow, will be going to the hospital.

Good luck! I hope you're able to avoid the hospital.

Feel better soon

Good Morning All

Working from home today after bringing home my PC etc last night. Feels super strange to have my "work" setup here at home but Im loving it. Second load of washing is already on :)

QOTD: I am reading The Dressmaker - rarely get time to pick it up and have to keep reading back a chapter to refresh my memory. Need more hours in the day at the moment

B: TBD - may do a poached egg as Im home

S: Babybel Cheese Mini x 2

L: TBD too - something out of the freezer I think

D: TBD too - as we are leaving around 5pm when Hubby gets home for our farm

Have a great evening all

QOTD: I am currently reading Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed. It is a collection of responses to letters asking for advice. It is just so full of compassion and empathy. It is absolutely lovely. The kids and I are also reading the fourth harry potter together which I LOVE sharing with them.

B - Protein shake

L - boiled egg

S - rotisserie chicken and a few bites of veggies

Hi all!

M2 - Johnsonville cheddar and jalapeno brat and an orange

Trying to plan ahead my menu for the big game on Sunday. Before my sleeve I'm sure I crossed 10k calories.

I'm a believer that fluctuating calories vs eating the same about every day helps boost metabolism. At least for my body three good days of eating then an okay day is a good cycle for me.
