What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
Happy Thursday Everyone!
QOTD: My favorite Summertime activity is swimming or just walking / playing in the water.
Yesterday I ate: a protein shake, a muscletech mission 1 protein bar, a Lean Cuisine meal, a Clif protein bar and 2 string cheese sticks. Today will probably be similar.
We didn't walk the dogs yesterday because it was nearly 100 degrees outside. UGH. Supposed to be that hot again today.Have a great day everyone!

Hey AV and gang! I am securely in Chicago! I arrived it was 96 degrees and you could barely breath...WTF?? When I left NY Tuesday Morning it was 62. Cell service is terrible so I will try and upload some photos when we are out today. I guess it is because they live near O'hare airport. My 3 year old grandson was beside himself with excitement that I arrived.... Splitting a NY Bagel from NY Ama was one of the first orders of business.
On the way in I stopped at a Trader Joes by their house to buy my B-12 vitamins, didn't realize I was out and took the last one Monday morning. Well in the idiot category (because this has happened before- ie. the Costco sample fiasco of 2015)... I am highly allergic to fresh basil... They were handing out samples of their Mango Salad kit. Read the front nothing about basil. The dressing is a Mango tamarind dressing, does that sound basil-y?? So take my little sample, I was like that tastes weird to me- take about five steps to walk away and the tingling in my lips and throat starts and I can feel my tongue swelling. crap. Went back picked up the bag, read the ingredients and yes the dressing had basil in it. Took 25mg chewable kids benadryl..high tailed my butt out of there because if I needed 50mg I wouldn't be able to drive. I have an epi-pen but have never used it and don't want to... So a little adventure to start the visit...
My exercise for the day was chasing my grandson around the cul-de-sac in 96 degree weather while he rode his bicycle and laughed hysterically. Sort of like Hot Yoga, right? My son and daughter-in-law from the comfort of the AC house said they had never seen him ride so fast. :)
Food here is usually more carbs but I usually don't have a problem on teh scale, so counting on that. They are generally healthy eaters. last night was Thai coconut chicken.
Here is dinner Monday night with Kat W. and White Dove in Youngstown Ohio. Very fun 3 hours!
QOTD: Definitely swimming and entertaining poolside, second is the beach.

Pour some water on your grandson's bike gears. The rust will slow him down a little.
