Whatâ??s on your Sunday Menu RNYers?

Morning!! Have fun in Vegas! When we went, I think two of my favorite things were going to Red Rock Canyon and the Hoover Damn.

Yeaterday I ended up in bed all afternoon evening. I had some pretty intense muscle pain- concentrated in my thighs. The whole deal left me feeling a tad melancholy. Legs feel a bit better, but still ache.- I will not run today- it's raining anyway, but I will go to the gym for a simple workout. I need to do all the cleaning I was supposed to do yesterday today. And cook a home cooked meal for my family.

accountability: ok, not bad, not picture perfect.

M1: egg/egg white, turkey sausage, tater tots.

M2: spaghetti meat sauce & ricotta

m3: turkey burger or tuna

m4: roast chicken most likely

How is your lab work? If my magnesium starts to drop, my muscles cramp up. Not even below normal levels, just dropping.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

I just read your post about your feet. Do you think you might have changed your running gait a bit to compensate for the wrapped toes? Just a thought - when I used to run any change in my form would sometimes have unexpected consequences.

How exciting about Vegas! The Backstreet Boys are performing there and I'd have to see them if I went :P they were my teeny-bopper crushes.

qotd: for quick weekend getaways we like going to Kansas City. Our last trip, we went thrifting then visited a mall that had a huge Crayola store.

menu: liquids

Only 4 more days! So excited for you!

Definitely getting nervous/excited!

Today is laundry, picture hanging and cooking day (maybe some pool time in between). Sunday's seem to be the day when nothing is scheduled so it is a good time to get some stuff done.

QOTD: My favorite weekend has always been going to the beach and having a nice dinner out (eating fish these days).

A weekend away anywhere is divine. Beach sounds good. If you are staying in a hotel it's a vacation. Lately Ive been enjoying my trips to NYC for basically what I call urban hiking walk 8-12 Miles window shopping or whatever and stopping at a lot of Starbucks to refuel. Ha.

I laughed at your list of snacks I've always told my trainer if he's traveling and gets stuck in a disaster or on a plane or something he should hope he's next to a WLS Patient they will have more food/snacks than needed for a trip to Gilligan's Island LOLOL

B:Latte made w/Caramel Premier/miralax/mct oil

B2: scrambled eggs, Ezekiel toast, butter

L: eggroll in a bowl

ex: stretching but basically rest day

Safe travels -- enjoy!!

Mornin'!

DH and I were going to go out for coffee this morning and then I was going to head over to my meditation class, but it snowed overnight. Poop. I'll still go to meditation, but no coffee out this morning - we need to shovel. Then we have our hair cut this afternoon (we have back-to-back appts at the same place), then grocery shopping, then yoga. I need to make chili sometime today for lunches this week - so maybe tonight in my Instant Pot. Where do the weekends go? At least the first couple of days of the coming week will be easy-peasy at work (not so the end of the week - but I won't start thinking about that yet!)

Accountability: it was fine until DH suggested we go to a movie last night. The movie wbas fine - the popcorn wasn't. I ate about a third of a large bag. Calories for the day were through the roof because of it. :-(

QOTD: We don't get away much together anymore because of all of our cats (a couple of whom need daily meds) and because I'm still spooked after having our house burglarized c. 5 years ago (it took a couple of years before DH could coax me to leave town with him for a weekend), but we do enjoy going to Chicago a few times a year for a weekend getaway. It's only a couple hours away, so it's perfect for a weekend vacation. I used to really enjoy traveling, though. Maybe in the future when we have fewer cats, we can hire a housesitter and go on some longer vacations.
