What are you eating/doing today? (Thursday)
Good morning Menu Peeps. We are almost at the end of the week, I can almost taste it.
This morning I will hit the gym. Perfect day for working out indoors
Accountability: Nope. Some Costco samples accidently got in my mouth yesterday.
Question of the Day: We have Victoria Day coming up, so do you like fireworks? I have loved them for as long as I can remember. In a crowd you will hear me oooohing and aaaaaahing with the kids. I have been known to jump in the car and chase done a fireworks display on Canada Day if I hear loud fireworks in the area.

Good morning :)
CC, I love Costco samples but we've been going in the morning when they open and they don't have any set up. They had lemon cake samples one time that were just too good.
Today I'm off to the bank with my grandma. When they sold their house they put away some of the money. We are going to look at options to reinvest it for another short term.
QOTD: I like watching fireworks but DH loooooves them. We have gone chasing them a few times. Last year we had scaffolding on our house to replace our roof. We climbed up on that to get a better look ;)

I knew I loved your DH. Climbing scaffolding to watch fireworks is so romantic. Now tell time to take you to the market, CC said so.

Good morning everyone! I don't know if its my phone that is causing me grief or MFP. Either way its been a pain in the ass to log my meals lately. Did 10 km on the elliptical this morning ... whew pushed myself to complete it in 54-1/2 minutes. I think my best time yet.
I bought some Hemp Energy Protein Bars - they are just little, come in a package of about 12 (and were pricey but I wanted to try them). 1 bar is only 65 calories and 6 grams of protein, 6 grams of carbs. They have only like 6 ingredients, all natural. Pretty tasty - I had two.
QOTD: Yes, I enjoy a good fireworks show. I wish we could bring them in from the US as they are so much better and cheaper!
Gym Fuel - premier protein shake
B - 5 oz beef meatballs with bbq sauce
S - Oikos vanilla w. blueberries
L - chicken caesar salad w. parm petals
S - 3 slices of ham, 2 mini cucumbers
D - pot roast and steamed cauliflower

Ginny, I watched the neighbourhood July 4 fireworks when I was in the States last year. It went on for a good half hour.
You are an animal at the gym and I love it. I love that you challenge yourself.

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
I try to stay away from candy samples and other high sugar samples. Yesterday was crazy. Fresh made slushies, deli meat, popcorn chips, thin addictives, so many samples. I only went there to buy gas, but somehow I wondered into the store. I did buy a cute skort, lol.
