What's on your Menu Today (Tuesday) RNYers?

Good morning DD2 and Gang, Happy Valentine's Day.  In true office fashion, there are a million treats here.  There was a small packet of candy on my desk from the committee that plans all of the fun at work.  I promptly gave it to a coworker.  There are cupcakes sitting in front of me and cookies in the lunchroom.  I went to the lunch room this morning to rinse my coffee mug and saw the cookies.  There were a few co-workers in there so I said out loud "I don't eat cookies, they make me sick." Then explained that I was saying that to reinforce my resolve to get down to my goal weight.  That being said, I hit my mini-goal this morning.  The scale said 159.8.  I was under 160 and I plan on keeping the downward trend going.  THANK GOD I got that movement on the scale, it really helped me with my resolve today.

In other news, the plague has officially arrived in my house.  My oldest son is home from school for the second day with vomiting and diarrhea.  My hubby, who is in South Dakota for work, called me this morning and said that he's too sick to fly home.  He's got the same virus with a high fever, vomiting and diarrhea and he doesn't want to try to fly home.  I'm not even blinking an eye.  I'm not upset he's not home for Valentine's Day, I'm actually worried about him being so sick and so far from home.  Say a prayer that he feels better soon.  I hate that he has to lay in a hotel room across the country feeling like this.

I just thank GOD that I'm feeling okay and can keep things together for them.  

DD2QOTD: We don't have a tradition for Valentine's Day.  Last year we went up to a Hotel and Casino and The Price is Right Live.  I posted pics last year, I had a great time.  This year we're obviously not doing anything like that.  We are trying to scale back and be more financially responsible.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

 Edited to add this pic of me and my honey that I couldn't find last Friday for photo Friday.  This was at the show that we went to last year:

Oh no! I hope your guys feel better soon. That sucks for your hubby not to be able to be at home when he is sick, but I think it was a good choice to stay where he is for the time being. 

I with ya on hoping this virus leaves my house before it takes another victim! Your poor hubby!!! Hopefully he gets home soon and starts feeling better! 

He's got a name tag! I was obsessed with that show when I was a kid.

Good morning Daisy and menue friends,Happy Valentines Day everyone.Happy Anniversary to you and your honey Daisy. I'd love to go to the Keg soon, we have a gift certificate so maybe next weekend. Yesterday's first shift back went very well. I got a chuckle out of saying hi to people and they would say hi back then do a double take and I would get a really big hi and lots of hugs. I worked 4hours yesterday and my body felt like I did 12. I fell into bed last night and slept soundly.

QOTD: working tonight, not a big deal. Probably go out on the weekend.

Menue

Have a good day everyone

So glad your day went well. Meant to tell you yesterday that I think this is the best NSV ever. Xoxo 

That's an awesome way to go back...hugs all around! Glad it went well.

Happy Valentine's! It is rainy here, and there are three deer in my driveway I am watching. We just moved to the country in June...it will never get old! On a more tragic note, I think we may have the flu in the house. My 8yo had a 101 fever at bedtime and was clearly feeling terrible...and at 6:30 this morning my 12yo staggered into the living room, said he had a headache, and then vomited. 104 fever. So. Yeah. ?

My husband is working a 12 hour shift today...I left him a card and chocolates for him to find this morning. I told him no chocolates for me this year (sob), but he left me a card and will probably bring home flowers.

editing to add my menu, which I already added but it didn't show when I posted? Weird...

breakfast- coffee with milk, leftover chicken breast and zucchini from last night

Lunch- egg salad, frozen peaches

snack- half a protein bar, hot tea

dinner- Italian turkey sausage, avocado

Snack- chobani 100

I never post my totals here, but I do figure them at the end of the day. I just don't have time in the morning and so I note what exactly I eat all day in a note on my phone and then dump it into MFP at the end of the day.

Ugh... the flu... 

I hope you don't get it!! I'm hoping I don't, as well! 

Good morning everyone!

Happy Anniversary to Daisy and Arun, Happy Valentines to those who are celebrating and Happy Tuesday to everyone that the first two don't apply to! My plans with my Mom from yesterday were rescheduled for today so I'm looking forward to getting out for a change of scenery and some quality mom time. She is planning some significant renovations this year so part of our day will be spent scouting for ideas. The last time she painted was right after my dad died and it was a keep busy project that she used as a distraction without a whole lot of thought. At that time she chose a yellow, just for something bright and counter to her mood but it's not a great yellow and I'm glad she's ready to change it. Should be a fun afternoon.

QOTD I've never been too into Valentines Day and this year between our financial situation and his apathy towards grand romantic gestures he looked relieved when I asked if we could go without celebrating. We would both prefer to show affection with small everyday things rather than see him go pick out a card he barely reads and scribbling his name on it. So this year our evenings plans include some shrimp, the couch, a blanket and some topless cuddles....and then more cuddling. 

B- coffee w/ SF hazelnut

L- pork tenderloin, 1 tbs. tzatziki
