Good morning!

Off to an early start this morning apparently. The usual domestic goddess grind today and I've also invited my 6 year old neighbour over to learn how to bake banana bread (she's a bit of a lost little soul - I swear she hangs out in her garden waiting for me to come outside in mine LOL), which will be fun. The wonderful thing about other people's children is that they stay for fun and then go home.

B - coffee with cream x 3 over the morning, source greek 0%

S - crustless quiche (muffin sized), later: Premier protein shake while baking

L - 3 ham/cheese/pickle roll-ups, Caesar salad, very thin slice banana bread

S - Chike protein iced coffee

D - 4 oz prime rib, 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, a little gravy, 1/4 cup carrots, a couple of green beans (no idea why I am cooking a roast mid-week other than it was calling my name from the freezer the other day)

S - likely just decaf with cream

Have a great day everyone!

P.S. TRACEY - if you are reading, I got the Hamilton Beach percolator (really cheap too at XS Cargo, refurbished $29.95) and the coffee is more than awesome. Thank you for the recommendation!

Not better really, just different. I love my Keurig, French press, drip coffee maker and percolator all equally. LOL

I hope your foot is feeling better.

When it comes to coffee I know what I am talking about.  Enjoy.  :)

When it comes to all-things-cuisine you know what you are talking about.

Good morning everyone! Today I’ll be spending a few hours getting a bone scan...apparently they inject you with stuff and then you wait a couple of hours and then they do the scan. Anywho...Breakfast and Dinner covered, but I’m not sure about anything else.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

B- Oatmeal with ground flaxseed & cinnamon and coffee

D- Extra lean turkey with marinara sauce and mixed veggies

Snack-Greek yogurt

That sounds like a different bone scan. I have had a couple and never been injected with anything.

I haven't had anything with dye either, but mine was just a simple bone density scan. Sounds "fun" though. lol

Good morning everyone. I went to the Argo game last night. It was awesome and they won. I figured Winnipeg would run over them but they were soundly trounced

I decided to do some shopping before meeting DH for dinner. Picked up some popcorn which I knew I shouldn't. We went to Swiss Chalet. I have not had their food in a long time. The one closest to us is mostly take out and it is always cold so we stopped getting it. I always get dark meat because white meat often does not agree with me. Well I could not believe how greasy it was. I do not deal with grease well. So I ate a little meat and some salad then feeling a little queasy I stopped.

An hour later I was a little hungry so got out the popcorn. When I bought it, it said it had 4 g of sugar per 7 cups of popcorn. I figured as a treat it wasn't bad. Well I think it was probably more like 4 gr per 1 cup. When we got up to leave I was a little light headed and a bit of a cold sweat. Being light headed got worse. I got some water and held onto my husband to leave the dome. After walking in the cool air I started to feel better. I am pretty sure it was a reaction to the popcorn or really the sugar. I find I am getting more sensitive to sugar.

So this morning I figured I needed exercise and biked to work. The wind was in my face the whole way. I bike along lakeshore which is really open. I use Map my Ride which tells me I usually do about 14 km but this morning it was more like 9. The worst part is with my luck the wind will have shifted by the time I go home and it will again be in my face.

I made my lunch today then remembered I have to meet people for a lunch meeting. They picked the Corn Beef House. Before surgery I would have been thrilled. Not so much now. They have a small garden salad you can add chicken to.

Morning all. 

Went to see Lucy last night with Ross' nieces (they are 16) last night. I enjoyed almost an entire small bag of popcorn (Karen's favourite - ha!) which was good, because the movie itself was just "meh" (as my daughter says). 

Ran 10.25k at a 5:44 pace this morning. This is nice and on track for the time I would like to achieve for my marathon. And my map of my run tells me so. A big checkmark LOL (just like what you showed me Pat. LOL)
