What's on your Sunday menu RNYers?
on 1/21/18 7:08 am
Morning! Its my only day off this week... going to get all the rest AND chores done simultaneously :)
QOTD: I'm a freak--I find most housework really satisfying. I like chores that you can see a real difference in from before/after, like vacuuming, dusting, and ironing. I hate unloading the dishwasher, though. It feels like a never ending chore and so unsatisfying. Also, I can't reach half of the cabinets!
Happy Sunday, Weekenders!
right now I'm propped up in my bed drinking coffee, and two of my cats are with me. Love this! I'm going to my Sunday morning meditation class in an hour, then meeting a friend for lunch afterward. She had some dental work done a day or two ago and just wants soup or chili, which is perfect for me as well. We're going to meet at a Panera Bread - I love their turkey chili, and they have lots of soup choices to boot.
otherwise, making chili this afternoon for lunches this week, and I'm going to Aqua Zumba this evening.
QOTD: I pretty much hate all cleaning (except vaccuuming is OK - but then, we only have carpeting in the finished part of our basement, which is pretty small. The rest of the floors are hardwood or tile..). Cleaning out the shower stall is really awful. Or even putting crap away can be a stressful experience - we don't have enough places for all of our crap, esp now that I have a lot of my parents' crap in my house, too. Ugh. Luckily, DH doesn't mind cleaning - he's kind of a neat freak, so he's usually the one who does it. His tolerance threshold for dirt and clutter is a lot lower than mine.
2 years 7 months out:
B: homemade Greek yogurt with homemade blackberry/blueberry sauce
MS: coffee with half & half, protein/Miralax shake
L: probably turkey chili (we'll be at Panera Bread)
AS: raw veggies with Greek yogurt dip (need to finish up these raw veggies soon before they rot!)
D: pulled pork or ham & bean soup, salad
other snack options (if needed and if I have enough calories left over): L&F yogurt, crustless protein pumpkin pie
ex: Aqua Zumba

Morning all!
Another busy one here, between regular work and seemingly endless packing. Lots of nervousness, but thankfully, my eating is not being negatively impacted.
QOTD: Cleaning the floor around and in back of the toilet. It's worse for me than cleaning the actual toilet. Yuck!
First: Coffee, Vanilla protein drink
B: Turkey
L: roast beef, cheddar, a (very) little broccoli
D: BBQ pulled chicken
Gallons of tea!
Enjoy today my friendsl
Happy Sunday!
I am in a super lazy mood and just want to nap today. I plan on going for a walk as it's actually above zero for the first time this winter, which is amazing, and we're supposed to get a two day snow storm starting tomorrow so I need to take advantage of the weather while I can.
QOTD: I hate housework so much, lol. I don't mind vacuuming or doing laundry but hate putting it away for some weird reason. My ultimate worst thing though, is when we have a huge family gathering and there are so many dishes, pots, pans, after that they are covering every square inch of counter space, the stove, the dining room table, and even with the dish washer I still have mountains of dishes. I lived alone for many years and got spoiled only having to do my own dishes so feel overwhelmed when there are mountains of dishes.
Accountability: good. I discovered I can eat a red bell pepper with no side effects (most veggies bother me) and had a lovely snack of red bell pepper slices dipped in 1 tbsp of low cal ranch dressing last night.
Menu
Breakfast: 2 cups decaf with 1/4 cup premier protein in each, Babybel lite cheese, 5 green grapes.
Lunch: 1 egg omelette with cheese slice, 2 slices bacon
Supper: Roast beef
Snack: Red bell pepper with Greek yogurt/ranch dressing, cheese string, pickle.

Howdy,
QOTD: This one is easy! IRONING. I won't ever do it. When I was a teenager, we were really poor and my mom was raising 4 of us age 2-14. We had a one bedroom with 5 of us and no air conditioning. My mom decided we could make money ironing for a local dry cleaner. We had to iron 300 mens shirts for less than $30 dollars. We did that once and decided that 3 people working 8 hours a day in 100 degree summer heat was not worth the money.
Food for the day:
Coffee and half a protein bar
Lunch: some form of meat and a veggie
Dinner: Have no idea
Snack: Carbonator yogurt and PB powder
Maybe the other half of protein bar?
