What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning!!  I am so scattered today and it's not even 9am.  My husband and I had to shuttle cars and drop off his old van at the shop this morning and then he drove me to work.  I hate being driven to work because I feel like I'm trapped here.  It's not like I would go anywhere anyway, but still...  I could if I wanted to.  LOL

I also can't think of a QOTD.  Somebody throw one out there!

Time since surgery:  23+ months

B:  baked banana "protmeal" and 22 grams of PB.  Don't judge me.

S:  bananas & cream coffee shake.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love the Nutri-bullet?

D:  shrimp ****tail and an ounce of sharp cheddar

I have no question for question of the day.

Someone scheduled a meeting at 7 am so I'm mrs cranky pants this morning. Hopefully I move past it. but it is hard and am in a royal mood. Plus I keep getting projects dumped on me here.

So I realized the cheese meat week is making me more hungry! not sure what that was= maybe im was having a big pouch day.

Maybe we should do a compare from previous days menu on this post? Like what was planned versus what was eaten?

Anyway, I pretty much stayed to my list from yesterday.

B: 2 oz shrimp, 1/2 tsp ****tail sauce, 1 egg white, decaf, miralax

S: carbmaster yogurt key lime

L: not sure

S: egg white/cheese?

D: I think chicken or a pork roast in instant pot- not sure though!

S: probably some protein ice cream or another yogurt

Yoga tonight- different class. my unlimited month is running out on June 3! yikes. Decided not to renew for june- they are having less classes and there are at least 1-2 free ones per week I can take. Plus I just shelled out for the 5k for humane society in June!

Morning AV!  I can totally start the menu thread for you if you want!  I am in work at 7am and I sit and wait for you checking... checking... checking... LOL  Hate days when you wake up and something is off, like car troubles, totally puts a "bad vibe" on the day, I get that!!!

Here's a QOTD: How many weeks of vacation do you get and what do plan to do with them?  I get 4 weeks of vacation (I get 5 weeks in two more years yahoo).  I took a week in April in Florida, will do a week in Boston in July, and then I save the other two weeks for Christmas time.

Have a great day everyone!

DAISY!!!  What week are you in Boston?  Boston peeps, we should have a meetup!

QOTD:  I get only 2 weeks vacation as I have not hit 5 years here yet, but instead of sick time we have personal time so it can be used as vacation time as well.

QOTD: I get 4 weeks of vacation, we normally use two weeks as actual vacations, and then the rest I use when the kids are sick etc

We will be camping at Acadia National Park in Maine at the end of June.  I dont know what we will do for the second week, either just staying home and not having to go to work or maybe camping if we can swing the money.

I get 23 days a year to use for everything, including sick time.  Which sucks.

I didn't answer my QOTD: I get 5 weeks including sick time and 2 days of charity work if I want to.

QOTD: 2 1/2 weeks vacation, 4.5 days personal holiday and i accumulate sick time.

No plans to use vacation time this year except to recover from Ironman.

Good Morning Everyone!

Okay, how's this for a QOTD:  Tell us about your children, including any fur babies.

I have my daughter, Saralisa, age 22, Chihuahua, Tippy, age 6 and Golden Retriever mix, Blossom, age 2.  They all are the love of my life!!!

What I ate yesterday was:  Protein shake, cottage cheese, bacon, string cheese sticks and pulled pork with bbq sauce.  I'm doing CAMAW with CRITTER.

Have a FANTASTIC DAY Everyone!!!

QOTD #2.  I have twin girls, age 22.  Both graduated from college and have full-time jobs!  One is a winemaker and one is rep for wine in grocery stores (do you notice a trend here?). I now have an empty nest, so it is good and bad.  Luckily we are close and still see each other as often as possible.  My kids and husband tell me all the time how horrible I am for never letting them have a dog, but we are/were just never home enough for them.  I felt it would be unfair.  We had horses for many years though.  We have 2 cats now.  One is pretty old (had to put another one to sleep this summer that was the same age) and a 5 year old cat that was one we fostered. She doesn't breathe very well, which is why we kept her and the vet says there isn't anything that can be done and she  is happy and healthy otherwise.  She acts just like a dog. Waits at the door, comes when you call her, sits outside the shower when I shower.  Never leaves my side when I am home.

OK.  I have goofed off enough at work. Heading back to my desk
