Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Friday March 23, 2018

TGIF for those working. I hope your Friday goes well and you have interesting plans for the weekend. We may go to the beach today or tomorrow, otherwise we need to clean house, do laundry, and work on getting Justice acclimated to the travel crate he will be in on the way home in mid April.

QOTD: What do you think is the average temperament for most people? I started to say "normal", but what the heck does "normal" even mean??? Do you think most people are depressed/pessimistic or most are cheery/optimistic? I think it is a combination for most (some days of each but not too low or too high) though I think being generally more positive is more common than being generally negative.

1 year, 11.5 months post-op

Always lots of coffee...

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: deli turkey

D: Leftover pulled pork

S: Yogurt and/or mozzarella/prosciutto sticks

Happy Friday. Working at home, which makes me happy and saves me 2 hours on the road. I love at the end of the day when i log off work and there is no commute! Going to dinner at a friend's house tonight - should be fun, going for a sticky bun tomorrow morning with my daughter (OMG, unreal and worth the calories 1 or 2x a year). They were on Bobby Flay's throwdown (Flour Bakery) - and are the most amazing foods. This is a birthday treat from my daughter. I probably will eat 1/4 of one, haha.

QOTD: Interesting question. I think most people seem "normal" on the surface but many suffer from depression, etc. silently. I am an eternal optimist, which is sometimes frustrating because I'm convinced that things will get better, change, etc. and then they don't always.

B: toast at 6 am... need something else

L: Leftover soup

D: chicken parm and birthday cake

Good morning,

Not sure what I have planned for the weekend. My friend closed on a house and might be moving this weekend so I'll watch her grandkids. Probably see my dad too.

Qotd since I suffer from major depression but I try to stay optimistic most of the time. I think that most of people are between that but they're a lot of angry people in this world so I don't know if they are depressed.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D corned beef, cabbage and carrots

Have a good day

yes, I agree - alot of angry people... terrible

Hello all,

QOTD: I don't know about most people but I know I work with a bunch of pessimistic people, however, we love what we do. It's weird!! I like to stay cheery which is often overwhelming for some people and I put them off. I still love being happy so I try to be that way as much as possible.

Early - Protein shake

B - 1 scrambled egg and sausage patty

L - beef brisket, beans, and ice cream (splurge day)

D - no plans yet - prefer to have lots of veggies since lunch was high carb

Still working the process for surgery (revising from Lapband). Meeting with my Medical Provider's counselor next week for our first of five sessions.

Have a great weekend!!

Hi all! The kids are having friends over for a sleepover tomorrow so tonight I've got to clean house and grocery shop.

QOOTD: I think most people naturally lean one way or the other, but not to the extreme. I call myself a secret optimist because I like to call out all the possible negative outcomes while secretly believing that by calling them out they won't happen haha.

B - Protein shake

l - salami & mozzarella

d - I don't know yet

s - pimento cheese on a quinoa rice cake

If you watch This is Us, Randall and his wife have this routine to deal with stress where they say out loud all the worst things that could possibly happen given the situation they are confronted with. I think the idea is that whatever they really have to deal with probably won't be as bad as the worst (or at minimum they have already thought about it). I kind of like that way of thinking...

Hi all! Spending the day working on school with a brief break for physical therapy. I skipped my fitness classes this morning to sleep in and then get to work, probably not the right call but I can't change it now.

QOTD: I think I'm more optimistic and hopeful than many people.

1: protein shake
2: deli chicken
3: a little gnocchi mac and cheese
4: sous vide wild boar, and some pasta dish for the guys

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: physical therapy

QOTD: I don't think there is anything close to a "normal temperament" for human beings in general. Everyone has what's normal to them and that's what makes people so interesting. We're all different!
