What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning all! I'm in a foul mood today and probably should have stayed home in bed, but I am saving all my leave time for my surgery so here I am in the office at my desk. I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't be very productive today...oh well, most days I am an over achiever, so it balances out, right?

Part of the problem is that yesterday was a long stressful day in the office, but I did manage to go to the pool and do some laps and Aqua Zumba. It really did help! I hope to make it to Deep Water Aerobics class tonight if I can. The water and the exercise really help to adjust my mind and body!

QOTD: While I try hard to be friendly and pleasant in social situations, I really do need my down time and alone time. That is partly why I like to exercise alone and find that I need time for laps, not just classes. After a class, I come home and isolate myself in my office for at least half an hour to have some down time. It is part of the reason that I'm not sure that I want the promotion to be a supervisor at work. Too much people time.

Menu:

Breakfast: scrambled eggs, turkey sausage

Snack: Cappuccino protein shake, almonds

Lunch: turkey wrap with spinach

Snack: turkey breast, apple, almonds

Dinner: will depend on whether I go to the pool this evening.

Exercise: long walk at lunch; maybe Deep Water Aerobics

working out is my me time-i het the heart rate up/then zen out and usually end up laying there in a yoga pose for 10 min or more just chilling out. im sure the meatheads at the gym think im crazy and I don't care.

I enjoy the workout variety of my water classes, but when I swim laps, I just zone out and only think about my breathing and strokes. It is my meditation time in a way. Just be in the moment and work my body. For at least that hour, everything else just doesn't matter.

I feel the exact same way about swimming laps. It's easy for me to zen out while I'm doing it. I should start doing it again - it's been a long time.

When you retire, you can go swimming every morning!

I hope your day is better today and you can kick the foul mood- I know it's hard to do sometimes.

hi all

weight not budging and making me bonkers. Good improvement though- I cleaned out my closet of almost all my XS as I don't think I'm going there again along with size 0 -some small small 2's. Weight training has really changed my lower body and not sure my arse can go back there lol- and if so- a long long time from now. taking to consignment shop and hopefully will get $$$ Life is TOO short to be hung up on clothes that DON'T fit your body! Taking 1/2 day and going to my mom's for a visit and late lunch/dinner.

Changed up my macros to 45/45/10 and will work that for the next 2 weeks to see where it goes. also my MCT oil and probiotics came from amazon so yippie for that.

QOTD: cooking? baking? SHOPPING - particularity for clothes, health and beauty, etc. I love to shop for others. My neices and nephews get a huge package at christmas with shampoos makeup all kinds of good stuff.

You are truly a talented shopper!

I know I've benefitted from your shopping. You do a great job!

QOTD: Hmmm... walking streets of NYC with no destination. Writing resumes with people as well as proofreading and editing.

Accountability: I will be honest what I write on here is a plan rarely the final destination. I like it because it makes me think about my day. Yesterday I ran out of calories at dinner. Oops. So just drank water rest of night.
