What's on your menu today (Monday) RNYers
Happy Monday everyone! How are you all? I am good. Four days to vacation! It rained at my place all weekend, I had a weather pressure headache all weekend and had a bad sleep last night, I need some sun! Hope you all had good weekends!
Accountability: there was an Ikea cinnamon bun that I ate over the course of the weekend and thin crust pizza consumed, not the best but I suppose it could be worse. I did have the yummiest Swedish meatballs at Ikea so there was protein LOL I am SO carb sensitive my weight is up 3 lbs today, I can lose that this week but its so frustrating that I just have to look at something "carby" and poof I am up in weight! UGH!
QOTD: Do you get headaches? I usually get weather pressure headaches and they can be brutal. And we have had such a crappy rainy summer the headaches have been pretty frequent. If I eat something that has potato/potato starch in it I get a BAD migraine, like put me in the hospital bad as I am allergic to potatoes and the migraine it produces is horrific.

Good morning! I'm already looking forward to the weekend, but in the meantime I have to get to work early, so I'm posting fast.
Most importantly:
FOR GINA: We did go to the Cowsills concert and it was a lot of fun! They are pretty good musicians and joked a lot about having very few of their own songs. They played their old hits and some other period music. Only 3 of them are the originals: Bob is 68, Paul a few years younger and Susan is 58. 3 of the 4 backup musicians were family (2 sons and Susan's husband). The songs they played which had been their hits were: "I love the flower girl", "Indian lake", "Love American style", "I think I love you", and "Hair". Picture below.
QOTD: Very few headaches these days although I periodically had migraines when in peri-menopause. NOT FUN!

Good morning Daisy and menu folks! Daisy, I'm sorry to hear about your headaches. My wife gets migraines, but I don't get headaches very often thankfully.
I had a good weekend and we got some tasks done around the house that needed to be done. We disposed of an old stained rug and put up a new blind in the bedroom. I also got some good food prep done for the week and some crocheting done for relaxation.
The scale is finally moving again after more than a week of ups and stall. I know that I am eating and exercising right so it will move eventually, but it is frustrating when it isn't moving.
Breakfast: hard boiled egg, turkey bacon
Snack: Grape protein shake
Lunch: TJ's sundried tomato chicken sausage
Snack: 2 oz. turkey breast
Dinner: hamburger, cauliflower
Exercise: 50 minutes on the treadmill
