What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu, RNYers?

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!. Phew yesterday was a whirlwind of feelings again. I have a new co-leader...(up!) I had to deal with lots of people's emotions again (down!)... I got to meet my dedicated and awesome parent council (up!)... I found out that a former student died in an accident...(down! down! down!). God, I need this weekend, badly.

Accountability: So apparently, I am not ever going to eat during the hours of 5am - 4pm ever again. I was booted out of my office because it was needed for a private conversation, and couldn't interrupt, so I was stuck with no food! I finally caved in at the parent council meeting and ate pizza at 4pm, because I felt like I was going to faint.

QOTD: Have you gotten any amazing shopping deals lately (looking at you, Hillary!)? Nothing for me...feeling too busy to bargain hunt so I have been paying full price for everything, lately :(

Photo Friday: LOOK WHAT I GOT IN THE MAIL LAST NIGHT?? Cynthia (NYMom222) saw this and thought of me. How sweet and amazing is that?? I haven't even had a a moment to call and thank her, so this is round one of public thank yous, and I promise to reach out personally this weekend when I get a second to pause and breathe. I love it! Also perfect thing because I am taking the new staff out to dinner and there are FISH TACOS on the menu! life is looking up, after all.

I haven't been shopping at all. I could use some pants. I may have purged my closest too excessively.

Today I consumed

Coffee with mil****d latte,roast beef,a safeway prepped salad with chicken, and 4 bites of a dry cinnamon roll.

This is a before pic. Me and puppy Lucy.

Is this Wonder Dog? What a sweetie!! Kisses and scritchies to Lucy!

Yes this is wonder pup almost 10 years ago. She keeps me moving.

She is SO cute!

Oh, Lucy is adorable!!!

awww, sweet faces :)

Morning!

i hear you on the up and down in the same days. I find that to be the most draining thing.

Qotd: kinda. My husband and I are going on holiday soon (Vancouver Island), and as we were looking around for places to stay, I came across a website renting RVs. It's pretty basic, but it's only 110$ per day to rent. Versus the 400$ per night I was looking at for cabins/airbnbs in the area we are going to. Plus in the high season, everyone had three night minimums, and we wanted to move around a bit more than that.(Plus we had to rent a car). I'm pretty excited!

Menu

back to basics has been going really well. Slight slip last night, as someone brought cake to celebrate my husbands bday. Normally I'd pass, but it was actually homemade, so I had a small piece.

B: coffee and premier

L: leftover salad I ordered out yesterday ( I finally ran out of tuna)

D: tbd my sister and nephew might come over after work so I'll prob pick something up to grill.

Yay for Fridays! I have a half day vacation today so that's good. It's raining and so that's bad. If I didn't have some thing just had to get done today at work, I'd take the whole day!

QOTD I shop all the time on yankee candles website and bath and body works website. Thankfully for my bank account, I rarely buy, lol!

Yesterday cals 721, protein 79, carbs 24, fat 39. Today B 1st tea with half and half then a boiled egg then more tea. L steak. D TBD. Snacks ? But always protein forward. Yesterday a sugar free fudge pop found it's way to me. DH bought them and probably won't eat another. For 40 cals and the carb and sugar alcohols, the taste just wasn't worth it.

Have a great day, y'all!

I Yankee candles! They are the only ones I allow in my house!
