What's on Your (photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?

Not that I wouldn't eat a conversation Heart...but I don't think it was ever on the top of my list...

Pet Peeve of the day - I hate when I spend good money on something and I don't really like it. Boo. I have been doing and LOVE the Beach Body DVDs 21-day-fix since October-ish... Not that I had mastered it...you can always use heavier weights, more reps etc...to make it harder....and occasionally I do have to modify the modifier person... So I thought I would change it up and bought the 21-day-fix Extreme. I do not like it... not that extreme actually...I am on week 2, and I was like "give it a chance", and I am debating jumping ship today and going back to the other. $45. Boo.

AV I bought those same protein bars the coconut chocolate... They are OK..meh. But I bought a whole box, so I am eating them! hahaha my protein bar graveyard in my closet.

I did try something I surprisingly liked yesterday. I don't remember where I bought these on a whim... Coco Libre Ready to Drink Protein Drink. 20g protein, 130 calories. I liked the Chocolate better than vanilla (I always do)... but I liked the taste. Warning you do have to shake really well. If I saw these out and about and wanted something I would definitely buy again. At home I'll stick to buying Premier.

Saying it will -20 this weekend with the windchill. I need to go out and do something today, cabin fever...I will be hibernating all weekend I think.

I HATE it when I spend money on something I end up not liking!!  ugh

It is supposed to be super wicked cold here this weekend as well.  It was 7 degrees when I left for work this morning.

I think about value often. Things that I use tons are so worth the money. Then there are always those that I end up using very little.

My wife is doing the Beach Body 21 day fix so I have been using her videos...  I just bought some heavier weights yesterday so should be feeling it this week.  I had considered getting the extreme to change things up a little but think I will wait for a while.  The nicer it gets outside the more I will do outside but right now it is good ole Oregon weather rain, rain and more rain. 

here is what I don't like about extreme - (some days I dislike more than others. )

1. Too much jumping - it is not good for your joints. So I kinda jump but never actually leave the ground.
2.  The modifier doesn't really modify most of them. Their version of modifying in these DVDs is she uses a lighter weight... I don't need someone to show me that. In 21 day fix I don't modify all the exercise but there are about 20% I do.
3. You have to use the resistance band, not optional. I don't mind it for arm exercises, but it is very awkward for leg exercises.
4. The yoga day is the worst. She doesn't explain anything and just keeps moving exercise/stretch to exercise/stretch. I can't look at the TV and do the exercise at the same time. Turned that one off after about 10 minutes. Not in the rotation.
5. Not that extreme, just different. There isn't really any floor/ab exercises..although she does say 'hold in your abs' a lot.

I bought it too because I wanted to 'change things up'... meh... I will probably keep it in the rotation because I bought it. Probably will do 3 weeks 21-day-fix /one week extreme/ repeat When the nice weather comes I will probably move outdoors too...

thank you for the info!  I am going to try to find some different workouts to try as well.  Maybe youtube or ??

Good Morning!

This week has sucked, I am so glad it is almost over. My menu sucks today to since I went to bed really early and didn't pack my lunch.

My husband and I celebrated valentines last weekend by going to a glass blowing class, since this weekend we have birthday party's both Saturday (cousins kids) and Sunday (son's classmate). Yay.

Years ago I knew someone who made glass paperweight. Real works of art. It's something I always wanted to try.

Yummy Conversation Hearts. I have been so good at avoiding them at the store everytime  go in. I did buy the kiddos and hubs some sweet tart hearts. I may have to have one or two. Hopefully that will be enough. I haven't had any candy yet, so we will see how it goes.

No Pic yet, I haven't been ready to take one yet, but think I'm getting to the point where I might snap one soon.

Time since surgery:  8 weeks

S:  Unjury Strawberry Shake

B:  One egg scrambled with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese

S: Small 1/3 Banana fuel for gym

L:  not sure yet, maybe some lunch meat and cheese, or fish depending on what they have in our cafeteria. I didn't have time to pack this morning.

D:  ??? Will see what the hubs wants to do, not feeling like cooking. I may heat up some leftover Chicken Satay

Not putting totals in because my menu is a mess.

My tummy realized this week it doesn't care for sweet tarts...sigh... my head loves them though!
