What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning! I am in a very good mood this week because 1. My scale is moving in the right direction 2. TMI- I have pooped 4 days in a row....I never knew how much I took for granted pooping normally and 3. This is a short work week for me; no work on Friday!

QOTD- I remember my apple falling from the tree once because I told a girl thank you and didn't realize the teacher had put her finger over her mouth signaling us to be quiet. That was our version of turning your card. It really upset me because I wasn't the type to get in trouble. But it only happened once lol. I remember a lot actually but that is what comes to mind first.

Menu:

m1- protein shake with fair life milk (28, 160)

m2- egg custard (10, 145)

m3- babybel (6, 50)

m4- chicken salad (10, 100)

m5- PB2 (5, 45) and fair life milk (13, 80)

Totals (72 g, 580) I guess I need to add something else to get to 80 g of protein....really trying to go to only one shake a day!

Exercise: Ran 1 mile, weight lifting, walked 1 mile

Isn't it funny how what goes out is almost important as what goes in!!!

I made it through my first day in the office and was approved to work part days for 2 weeks. That will take some of the pressure off to try to work when I am feeling exhausted.

Breakfast: Spinach-mushroom egg muffin, oatmeal

Snack: Protein shake

Lunch: Turkey meatballs, zoodles, Puttanesca sauce

Snack: cottage cheese, unsweetened applesauce

Dinner: Chicken Tikka Masala

Exercise: 40 minutes on the treadmill plus a short walk during my morning break.

Today is hump day? I thought yesterday was hump day?

Why does this week seem longer than usual?

Good Morning JB and everyone!

I am with you JB! I woke up to snow and ice this morning. I am so done with March and am counting on April. I just feel like it won't warm up until Summer.

QOTD: The thing I remember most was the first day of Kindergarten and crying getting on the school bus even though my older brother and sister were there with me. I sat on a neighbors lap all the way to school. Once in Kindergarten class the crying continued and since my teacher knew my mother exstemely well, she let me sit in her lap all morning. What a crybaby, right, lol! I remember taking our naps and getting cartons of milk when we got up. Also remember going out to the playground and getting on the Merry-go- round.

It must run in the family, regarding kindergarten, because the first day my oldest daughter went, she came home with a swollen foot. Took her to the ER and found she had broken her foot. Come to find out, she had gotten her foot caught under a piece of playground equipment, but no one realized she really hurt herself....nonetheless, I went directly to the school to loudly come when we left the hospital. She was in a cast for 6 weeks.

Isn't kindergarten great, lol!

Menu:

Breakfast: Fairlife milk and Inspire protein powder

Lunch: 1 cup Habitant soup with bacon

Dinner: Inspire protein powder with Fairlife milk

Snack: SF Popsicles; low sodium chicken broth.

Caloriess: 768

Yay for Wednesday! My week is almost up!!! So happy! It's my Thursday!

DH brought me home some more romaine!, spinach, and 4! kinds of tomatoes. I'm going to do 3 in an upside down planter and 1 (the BIG one) in the garden box. It is really shaping up out there. I'm going to have romaine apparently on a daily basis there is so much. Can't wait to plant the other guys but it will be after mid april to get the rest in.

Taking dogs in late afternoon to get shots. Then I REALLY need my hair trimmed. My bangs are in an in between stage, I don't know what to do with them but pinning them back I think is showing my age more because of wrinkles on forehead.

QOTD: we had moved to a small town in south georgia, grandparents/parents didn't want me going to public school there. So I went to a special academy private school for kindergarten. I remember my graduation and being called a cabbage patch by older kids. I thought it was a compliment until my mom said they were making fun of me because I was overweight.

Come on warmer weather! I'm planning on changing my closets to the Spring/Summer closet this afternoon even if the weather is not cooperating. I'll just add a sweater to the outfit each day.

QOTD: My K memory is a strange one. It was 1964 when I was in kindergarten and I had received the coolest pair of white go-go boots. It was muddy outside coming back from recess and I literally got stuck in the mud and walked right out of those go-go boots. Strange the things we remember.

B: Protein Coffee

S: 1/2 C Greek LnF yogurt, 1/2 scoop protein Powder, 1T PB2

E: 3 Mi. walk w/DH after work

I remember white go-go boots! I remember thinking that everyone had a pair but me - I was so envious!!

I just had another K memory involving shoes. All my shoes were buckle or slip on type (go go boots) so when it came time to learn to tie shoes I had to practice on one of our "farm-boys" who always wore little work boots. Well I unfortunately tied his laces in a knot and the little bugger cursed me out. I don't remember if he got in trouble, but I didn't get my name on a construction paper shoe on the wall for a long time.
