What's on your menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?
Happy Friday!!! It's going to be 75 here today, 86 tomorrow, and back down to 54 on Sunday - with storms rolling in... plan on enjoying the day today with a friend for lunch and out shopping, then tomorrow getting up on my Mule again! I haven't been on him very much AT ALL since we got him, and now that I'm not obese anymore, here's hoping I can climb up there now!
QOTD: Last weekend both of the kids were with me for a trip to the mall. We were at a light, and there was a homeless man out there with a sign... this story isn't as much about my act of kindness as it is about my daughter's actu of kindness... who asked me if I had any money, and could we give it to him... I almost said no, but the location where we were has a large population of truly homeless people that really could use some help... so we fished out a dollar bill from my car and she rolled down her window and gave it to him. It wasn't a lot, but she was so pleased that she helped him, and he seemed genuinely grateful. As we turned the corner, I joked with her and told her he was going to go and get himself a fresh cold beer!
I made it through yesterday with not a single thing crossing my lips that wasn't on plan! Funny how much more in control you feel after just one clean day...
Today, weighed in at 155.0
B: 2 bacon and 1 egg with 1T of salsa
L: Up in the air, meeting a friend... but I'll do protein first!
D: Another one of those up in the air things... it's so beautiful out that I'm hoping to get out on the bikes after my lunch, so there are plenty of leftovers and protein forward choices. I plan on being perfect again!
S: Because I'll be running around, and I leave here so early, snacking isn't usually an issue on Fridays... but I will have my decaf latte this evening!
Photos of Love...
This was on our second wedding day... we got married in Santa Fe, just the two of us, then had this reception/wedding in our backyard... wow. I haven't looked at this in a long time. I decided to show the full body one, because on that day, I felt so sexy and beautiful, no matter what my size was!
My son and I... he was so little!!!!!!!

Such a beautiful bride! Loving the dress!
Also...I totally have a new life goal...Ride a mule. That just sounds so delightful. Many years and lifetimes ago my family raised Arabians and I would spend summers riding trails. My feet rarely touched the ground if I was awake because I was always on my horse. I haven't ridden in soooooo many years. I miss it. And...a mule? Hello...how fun is that??
Have a wonderful weekend friend!!

Love your pictures! Of course you were sexy if you were happy :)
It is SO COLD here, that I have forgotten what 86 even feels like... Enjoy it!
