Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday September 17, 2018

We used to have those bonding experiences at my former company too. My favorite place to stay was the Copley Plaza.

we are at the copley marriott - close to all the shopping!

Hi, Liz! Nice to see you back. Hope you can have some nice, long rests. I?m sorry it was a rough go with DH, but I admire your toughness and am glad you had a good trip. Maybe when you feel less exhausted, you can share with us some pics and high points?

QOTD: Well, since mail, camera, wallet, message, calendar and safari all came loaded on my phones OS (vs me buying on the App Store) I?m going to cheat and not count those among my three. So, I?d say..wow. This is really hard. Among those things from the App Store: Amazon, Spotify, and Ring. If I?m going to Disneyland, the Disneyland app would replace Amazon, since a day at Dland would be unmanageable without it. I?d let Facebook go. Even though I use it a lot, I suspect I?d be fine?maybe even happier?without it.

3.5 months or so out:

B - Chike shake with fairlife skim, roasted cinnamon and ice

S - Skyr or cheese slicE

L - Attempted some chicken with store-bought tikka masala simmer sauce last night. It didn't turn out so tikka masala like (more just like tomato sauce, even though I tried to add some garam masala to liven it up. I?ll eat it anyway.

D - ??

I have tried several tikka masala simmer sauces and I run into the same thing. It tastes like tomato sauce. The only jarred sauce like that I really like has been the Jalfrezi curry summer sauce from our Aldi's. It's amazing.

Thanks! I'll look out for it. No Aldi's by me, but it seems one can find almost anything online. I bet Trader Joe's might have a good one. This one was from Whole Foods and had good reviews on Prime Now. I'm puzzled that people were into it. It's so bland!

Good morning,

Welcome back Liz! Enjoyed your pictures on Facebook of your trip. Loved the one of the Effifel Tower when it's sparkling.

Sorry I've been missing for a month. I couldn't get logged in until I got ahold of corporate office to straighten it out.

They were giving me full time hours at work and it was affecting my depression and not getting enough sleep. They finally got it straightened out and plus I had my doctor increase my antidepressant so I'm starting to feel better. Now if I can get exercising again. Last time I exercised was the end of July.

Qotd GasBuddy, speedway and McDonald's app for my coffee purchases

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D keto low carb lasagna and broccoli

Have a good day

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Hi All! Liz great to see you back! Glad you had a good time but sorry DH had issues hopefully he will get his feet under him again now that he is home.

QOTD: If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep? WOW, well I would keep my Facebook it is my main contact with my children (4) and grandchildren (7) they share pictures and videos and just stuff in their worlds (MANY miles away) My fitness Pal and hmm, my medical page so I can see test results, appts. Etc.

Liz your trip sounds amazing! You definitely deserve some rest and recovery time.

Hi everyone. Hurricane Florence took it somewhat easy on SC, but I'm still glad we went upstate for the weekend. We had a wonderful time. Kids are finally back to school today.

QOTD: My web browser would allow me to access most things (Instagram, email, weather, etc) so I'd keep that, my music app, and my camera!

B - coffee & protein

L - yogurt & almonds, protein bar

D - turkey tortellini soup

E - Body Pump (trying out a new gym today so we'll see how it goes!)

Liz, so glad to see you're back! I missed you. I'm sorry that DH regressed and made it more difficult for you, but it sounds like you saw some really marvelous things while you were gone! So tell me, did you have some croissants in Paris? I could just see myself, I'd eat my way through the city, like I did in Tokyo! Of course, the portions in Tokyo and apparently in Paris too are much smaller, so it would be ok, as long as I walked from one cafe to the next. Heehee!

QOTD: If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep?
I'm not too dependent on the apps on my phone, and I'm going to cheat like PC did and not count the ones that were pre-loaded. So I guess I'd keep Poshmark, my Bluelink and SparkPeople. Since I'll have the pre-loaded browser, I can get to just about anything else I'd need from there.

B: Premier protein, 1 egg, 1 wedge laughing cow

L: Halibut and homemade tarter

S: Baby Cucumbers, sauteed shrooms or yogurt

D: Pork tenderloin, steamed cauliflower

S: Cottage cheese or yogurt (if I didn't eat the yogurt earlier)
