What's on your Menu today (Thursday) RNYers?
Austin really is a wonderful city. I highly recommend you all move here so I can hang out with all of you. Be forewarned though...the rest of Texas is a pretty much ultra conservative cowboys. Staying in Austin/Travis County though is good stuff. Even where I live, an hour away, is close enough to really enjoy the city.
Everyone should just plan a weekend meetup get-away to test out Austin. Party at my house! BYOP (Bring Your Own Pillow)

True story... when I was 'stuck' in Georgia, married to my ass of an ex, I would plan our escape, and it ALWAYS included moving to Austin (I grew up in Houston, so I know the state pretty well, and spent a lot of time in Austin, and that general area)... but when I researched divorces in Georgia, I found out that my ex could have basically kept me in Georgia after the divorce - kids. When he got a job offer in Tulsa, OK, all I could think of was "Well this gets me OUT of Georgia - and away from his warped family - and that much closer to Austin!!" I knew we'd get divorced in Oklahoma, and MY plan was to continue on to Austin and raise my kids there...
One snafu was meeting and falling in love with hubby...
He kinda blew my plans out of the water...
Damn Love

Good morning gang. Last night I grazed like a snake about to molt. Like...could not feel full. Starting to think the new medication is the issue. I am going to try to focus on drinking more water. I am really bad abou****er and I know that my poor body is probably just thirsty and I keep giving it food.
"What do you mean you grazed," you might be asking yourself? Well...let me tell ya. Right after work I had a 1/2 a beef wrap from Schlotzsky (out running errands and the teenagers were begging for food before one of them had rehearsal). Then at home I had 1 cup of bean-less chili with a cornbread slice and shredded cheese. Dinner...done. Should be done for the night, right? Ohhhh no. I had Triskets (thankfully they are almost gone now), an Enlighten ice cream bar, more Triskets, and then got up out of bed at midnight and got Greek yogurt with strawberries and granola. So...by the end of the day I ate 1652 calories according to MFP. 184 carbs. Arrrggg! That is just way too many calories. I know my body does not need all that for fuel. This morning I was at 122.6 so I can see the number creeping up.
Tonight...no Triskets and more water. Wish me luck!
EDIT to add QOTD: I think pretty much everything in my world is 'extra' luxury really. Starbucks, cigarettes, new clothes...all of that stuff I could live without. In general the biggest luxury I indulge in though is travelling to teach at alternative sexuality conferences. The conferences don't pay speakers, they usually comp registration and hotel but the travel is on me. It is worth it but it is not a cheap way to spend my free time.
LUNCHBOX:
Menu: B: Greek yogurt with grapes and granola; L: Bean-less chili with cheese; D: More chili; S: WATER WATER WATER
Have a great day everyone!

There are several of us in this 'grazing' mode... Maybe we need an AMAW week???
The cravings are sucking!
Who is the one that usually officiates those? I've never participated in one.... I think it's time!
(btw, your chili looks so dang good... I'm showing up for lunch!)
