What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Oh!  I've read one of his Jack Reacher novels, but I can't for the life of me remember the title.  I remember I enjoyed it, though.  LOL

ETA:  I remembered!  It was A Wanted Man.  Good book.

Haven't read thàt one yet. 

Karen I just finished 61 Hours as well, and LOVED it. I love all the Jack Reacher (Lee Child) novels, they are my go to's for sure!!

It's funny, everyone makes the same joke about overdue fines at the library, but for most libraries that's like a minuscule part of the budget. But we thank you for them anyway!

I primarily read young adult fiction and I just finished three fantastic but incredibly sad books: How It Went Down (the story of a -possibly- unarmed, -possibly- gang affiliated black teenager being shot and killed by a white man), We Were Liars (a rich teenage girl dealing with the aftermath of personal tragedy - the particular tragedy is a secret), and Saint Anything (another right teenage girl dealing with the aftermath of tragedy - her brother's DUI accident which resulted in a young man being paralyzed and the brother doing time in prison). I need a good laugh now! 

Also happy to report some scale movement in the right direction after nothing good for ages. I had been down to 157, then up to 162 and hovering at 160-162 for ages. Ultimately I'd like to be in the 155-165 range long term, so this is acceptable to me, but for one glorious moment I want to see 155 on the scale so I can say I made my personal goal....so this morning (I weigh daily but Wednesday is my official day for recording) I was back to 159, I haven't seen a 15_ for too long!

Way to go! I need to be held accountable and step away from granola bar type things!!! I have been bouncing up and down too and I know it's a result of some poor quick choices. 

That's why I had to quit buying granola for my yogurt and I stay far away from protein bars. Even though not bad overall they are both trigger foods for me and I can't control myself when they are around!

Good Morning to ya! I didn't know of this experiment that you were doing...sounds fun!  

Good luck tomorrow...how nervous and excited you must be.

Last book read.....I can't even remember so I guess that means a trip to the library is in order for sure.

Have a great one!

HA!  When everyone was posting their latest purchases yesterday it dawned on me that I owned a lot of black and tan and that I had worn a similar outfit (khaki colored crop pants and a black t-shirt) for two days in a row.  I decided to challenge myself to do it all week because I'm pretty sure I can and not repeat anything.  LMAO  I need some color in my closet!

Angryviking,

You sound like me! I have no color in my closet. Mostly black, must come from being obese for so long that I feel like black hides the curves. Guess old tricks are hard to break. I sure always appreciate your posts.

Good morning,

Gorgeous day here today after yesterday's fast moving storms. 

The last book I read was "Real Life & Liars" by Kristina Riggle.   Though I am now reading on my kindle "Texas Yankee Honeymoon" part two of a series that a friend's husband wrote.  It's OK, I'm reading in support of the author, but not really my cup of tea.  I am an avid reader, I will read two books a week usually, sometimes more depending on the genre.  Some books are my "brain candy" and then there are the ones that make me think.   I go through my small town library too quickly.  I own a kindle, but would never have bought it myself.  I love the feel and smell of a book.   I like to re-read my old  favorites too.   I probably should have been a librarian or a bookseller.

Congratulations on the scale moving.  I finally broke my stall and am now at 208.  Can't wait to hit onederland. 

B:  Premier Protein Shake

L:  Deli ham w/ 1 slice whole wheat bread  (it's a treat)

D:  Baked Cod w/ tomatoes & basil
