Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Wednesday, 2/21/2018

Good morning everyone! Sounds like you are going to have a good and full day today Gwen, enjoy lunch with your friend. In a few minutes I am going to make a Texas buttermilk sweet cake for my neighbor. We have a deal, I keep him supplied with sweets(his wife does not bake) and he plows my driveway. I am going to quickly wrap up the rest and give it to my uncle so it won't be around to supply my nighttime cravings!

QOTD-A beloved local ER physician has been missing since Sunday. He is an expert Nordic skier and was wearing his beacon when he went backcountry skiing, he hasn't been seen since and there is no signal from his beacon. I am going to have to answer this QOTD on a serious note and with a countdown to either finding him or his body so his family doesn't have to wait and wonder in agony. There is an intensive air and ground search and we have had clear skies, but really bad below zero temps at night.

B-Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup granola(*sigh*)

L-tuna w/mayo and pickles, string cheese

S-Chai tea w/cream and stevia

D-Tbd

E-Walk with Emmy

Below is a picture of the Equestrian Park to took Emmy yesterday for our hike.

Oh how very sad, Kristi. I typed my answer before I read yours and now I feel sorry about it!

Beautiful picture.

It is so sad, 5th day of search and still no sign. He is in a popular "out of bounds" area and no signal from his beacon. Today I read they are slowing down and going from tree to tree. Maybe he hit a tree and his beacon batteries died? Time will tell I am sure.

I'm so very sorry that you, and your community, are having to deal with this, Kristi. It sounds heartbreaking.

Thank you Gwen. I have only met him one time, my heart is breaking for his family and the people that have worked with him for so many years. No matter how experienced we are at something, we are not invincible that's for sure.

Hey all!

QOTD: Is it super weirdly morbid that my first thought was when I was going to kick the bucket? If it's sooner rather than later, I've got a lot of stuff to pack in! If it's a whole lot later, then that's less to be anxious about. But then if it's earlier, I'd be constantly wondering what will cause it. And don't get me started on how freaked I'd be when it got down to the final countdown. You all don't want to live in my brain. It's exhausting in there.

B - coffee, yogurt, berries, grain free granola

L - cheese, crackers, salami, tomatoes

D - beef mushroom stew, broccoli

S - popcorn, egg

You are at a healthy weight and doing great on exercise. No reason to do that countdown anytime soon!

I agree with Liz, I think that countdown is far, far away:-) I don't think anyone would want to live in my brain either Cecily!!!:-)

I'm excited because I just made an appointment for a laser hair removal consult! I've always had a lot of hair, and there was a great deal on Groupon, so I decided to try it out on some of my very much unwanted facial hair. I have several friends who've done it and really liked it, so I'm looking forward to it.

QOTD: Ooo, good question! There are a ton of things, but right now I'd probably say a countdown to when I'll hit my goal weight.

M1: Cold Brew + SF Syrup + NF Milk

M2: Chicken Sausage + Cheddar + Bacon Ranch

M3: Skellig Cheddar + Baby Carrots

M4: Korean Beef

M5: Chocolate PB Protein Truffle

Approximately how much does it cost (if you don't mind sharing)? I wouldn't mind having some permanently removed...
