What's on your Menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

Good Morning Menu Crew!  Photo Friday today, lets see your "open topic" pics!! Still mind numbing cold here in Toronto, temp says its -14C (7F) and with the windchill feels like -22C (-6F), I feel like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz my body does not want to move its so cold!!  Who has awesome weekend plans?  Tonight when we get home from work will hike the dogs and then we have plans to go to IKEA, I am not feeling the best today (time of the month started today and I get brutal period cramps and I have a massive headache!) so we will play it by ear if we go or not.  Rest of the weekend is up in the air, lots of things to do (laundry, clean the house etc) but no specific plans and I am totally okay with that!  I like weekends sometimes when I have no plans and can just play it by ear!

QOTD: If you could create a new Law what would it be?  I have a bit of a weird one... I would create a law that stipulates you must stand a minimum of 2 feet away from the person in front of you in a line up (be that a coffee line up, a movie ticket line up, going into a sporting event line up). I seriously have issues with STRANGERS being in my personal space and when it happens I get angry, like Hulk angry, it makes me so uncomfortable and it usually does not end well for the person who is standing too close to me.  Also we need a Law made for people to learn how to walk on a sidewalk.  I can't stand that people who are walking towards me are on the wrong side of the sidewalk and end up bashing into me or teenagers who walk like 6 or 7 across a whole sidewalk, HELLO there are other people in this city other than your self-absorbed selves! I am feeling *****y today... can you tell HA HA HA But its the weekend so YAY I will snap myself out of it! Onward!!!

My pics today are from our trip to Boston to see JB & Grim (did I mention how AMAZING that trip was )  First one is of me and JB looking fine (thank you very much) on our way to High Tea at the Boston Harbor Hotel on Christmas Eve and of me and hubby in front of the Christmas tree they had in the lobby.  What a wonderful experience and I would do it again in a heart beat!!

Morning DD2!

QOTD: People being pushy in lines bugs the crap out of me. It's a line, where do you think I can go? Last summer we were waiting for the ferry at Ellis Island in NYC, and this guy pushed into me from behind 6 or 7 times. Seriously? We were moving at a snail's pace, and there were a thousand of us. I finally stepped back about 4 inches, and stood right on his toes for a few seconds. No more pushing.

I also dislike people who step off an escalator and come to a complete stop. Everyone starts to pile up behind them. Get out of the way!

Here is a picture of the Menu Thread Bowling Team (note the names).

 

And here are our intrepid outdoorswomen:

Cute Pictures, John!

 

 To your photos, I love all of this!! 

Looks like yall had lots of fun! DD2 & JB are so cute!

That's what my butt looks like when I am bowling? ha ha ha

And YES on the people stepping off the escalator and stopping... WTH!

Great pics Grim!

Morning everyone!

well, weirdly enough, yesterday was the first day I've struggled since surgery. Not thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas or any celebration. A Thursday. I'm guessing I was coming down from all the fun and constant go go go, and feeling a little bored...

My calories came in fine at 623, protein was 89. Carbs higher than I like at 50 (i aim for under 25) But it was the first time I caught myself constantly circling the kitchen, checking out what was there. Much tea was consumed haha. 

Today im off to the Y to try a group strength class! Excited to see how that goes!

qotd: I'm going to go selfish here and want a law that standardizes clothing sizes across stores. 

Menu:

B:protein shake

L/D: grocery day, so I haven't decided yet. 

Happy Friday !

 

Oops forgot my pics, one is a panoramic, so I'm not sure how that will load. We were snowshoeing behind my inlaws home. So beautiful.
