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

Good morning everyone,

I don't have any huge weekend plans. I'm traveling again in a week so need to get my butt in gear for that. And I get to meet up with Karen (Kakesie) a week from tomorrow, so I'm super excited about that! I finished several projects this week that I needed to get done before school starts so I'm happy about that. One big one left to go and I am ready to face the school year!

Sorry no sports fan photos. If I had a photo it would just be me and my husband plopped on the couch watching football. Go Broncos! I honestly do no****ch TV and don't really like movies. But on Sunday in the fall you can find me parked in front of the TV watching football.

Here are some photos from my recent trip. The first one is of me standing in front of the Anne of Green Gables house. The second one is of the Titanic graves in the cemetery in Halifax. So interesting to this history geek.

Qotd: Definitely my dark curly hair. It's what I always get compliments on it and my dh is very attached to it, lol. My older sisters hate me because their hair was gray by my age and though I have a few grays, it's still really dark for a 48 yo.

Food:

B 2 fried eggs, coffee with cream

L turkey cheese rollup with low carb wrap, lettuce and mustard

D egg fu yung with sesame mayo, yum

S beef jerky

Calories 800 Carbs 24 Protein 69

Not crazy about that protein number.

Beef Jerky...... Mmmmmmmmmmm 

Oh how I miss beef jerky...

I'm now going to think of you all day long!! hahaha!

Isn't it weird that I don't get jerky stuck? I think I just chew so long on it from habit that I do okay. (Knock on wood.)

Hi Amy,

I'm getting so excited to meet you!  Please tell Elizabeth that Saralisa is so very sorry, but she has to work and won't be able to come with me for our meet-up.  She was going to specifically ask for Aug 6th off from work just so she could meet you and your family, but she had previously told a girl she would work for her one weekend in August and it happened to be the weekend of the 6th.  

That's too bad they won't get to meet up! But tell Saralisa we understand. Can't wait to meet you anyway!

It's FRIDAY!!!!! 

While we don't have any super exciting plans, I am going to list a home this afternoon (yay!), and tomorrow evening we are going to a smallish gathering at a friend's house, so that'll be fun. I'd like to get the chicken coop moved on Sunday, but I'm afraid because I think that when the Hubs picks it up with the tractor, it's going to fall apart. But I miss having my chickens, and I need to get on with it so I can get the new chicks in the coop before winter! (and now I sound like some kind of country girl, and I'm NOT, but I do love having chickens!)

QOTD: OK, so I probably still love them, but I know, at 51, and then add a bunch of weight loss, that the 'girls' won't be my best friends anymore... Then I started thinking, and I must just be a snob, because I love my eyes, smile and hair! I had stick straight hair until my son was born... then it started changing into this wavy/curly stuff... so now if I add some product to it, I can get a nice curl! So I guess I'll pick my Hair! (But the girls are still great )

I was born in Pittsburgh... and even though I only lived there for 9 years, and consider Houston more of my home... I am a STEELERS FAN inside and out! This picture was from last weekend's trip to Dallas. We had a group of 'other' fans all wearing our Team jersey's to the Cowboy stadium  Just to get a few pictures... Nice to say that not only did my Steeler's jersey fit, but it was also nice and big and baggy!

Yesterday's menu:

B: Shake

S: 10 cashews

L: 1/4C of seafood soup from the chinese place down the street (2 sm shrimp, 2 pieces of the fake crabmeat, and some of the crunch veggies)

D: 1/2oz of chopped up chicken thigh mixed with an egg (minus part of the white), and 2T mayo

you are Extremely damn funny!

Hi my fav OH Peeps!  Still on vacation and its glorious!  Our Boston vacay with JB & Grim was OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING!! We miss them terribly!  Thank god its only an 8 hour drive to see them cuz we will be back (be afraid JB & Grim LOL)!! Seriously, I love that cutie patotie couple, so sweet, generous, funny and the kind of couple you want to hang out with and talk for hours about anything & everything.  

Eating on vacation is hard!  Although all meals were protein forward I allowed myself to have some treats & indulgences such as a breakfast sandwich and ate just the bottom part of the english muffin, had half a hot dog & bun, 3/4 of a cheeseburger with a bun, half a Sweet Cheeks (AMAZING) biscuit with honey butter all over it.  But since we returned on Wednesday evening I am down 3 lbs, I seriously have no answer for that. JB took me to Target and showed me a lot of protein forward snacks she gets on a regular basis (Mr. Cheese O's, which I LOVE, pepperoni sticks, flavoured almonds, and these awesome "GO PICNIC" brand snack boxes, that have meat, cheese, crackers, nuts, and a treat in them, and they are awesome!!!) I can't thank her enough for helping me stock up on all these good protein snacks!!! Buffalo Target I will be back soon for another stock up LOL!

We also had dinner with Capogirl (Beth) and her hubby at Grim's house. Capogirl is wonderful. So funny & sweet!!!  Her husband was wonderful too and fit right in with us crazy bunch!  We had so much to talk about and ran out of time as JB had to get to bed to work the next day and we were commuting back home.  Beth made us her version of Zoodles. OH MY GAWD people, TO DIE FOR!!!! JB and I wanted to eat the whole bowl!!  Beth you MUST SHARE with everyone how you do yours, they were exceptional!  Tons of garlic and she even brought over freshly grated Parmesan cheese to put over, it was beyond delish!!  OH Meet Ups are sooooooo much fun! Oh and Grim the "Meat King" himself made us ribeyes on the bbq, yes people be jealous!!! LOL  It was an awesome evening!

QOTD:  I like my hands. They don't have a lot of wrinkles and my nails grow pretty fast and they are really white. I used to love my hair but that was pre surgery when I had a ton of long thick shiny hair, now well you all know its different post surgery.

Time since surgery 2 yrs & 8 months

B: 2 eggs & turkey kielbasa

L: not sure, maybe some pepperoni sticks & almonds (not really hungry today)

D: Angus steaks on the bbq with grilled zucchini

S: Mr. Cheese O's (where have you been all my life, yummy nuggets of cheese!!)

V/W: vits done, lots of coffee/tea & cranberry water

E: going to the gym later today, will do 5km on the treadmill and arm workout. Also cutting the grass and cleaning bathrooms!
