What's on your PHOTO FRIDAY Menu, RNYers?
Hi Team! Ok, I lucked out with 2 days in a row of no staff call outs, so I find myself with extra time in the morning again! Woot! Thanks for all of your kind words yesterday. I am feeling just a little better this morning and SO EXCITED that tomorrow is the weekend. Two days of straight sleep ahead.... :)
I shared my picture yesterday--nothing new today from me, but I hope to see all of your smiling faces this morning!
QOTD: Do you have any pre-holiday traditions? My family has gone to the same Christmas concert every years since I was born, which happens the 2nd Friday of December. Grim and I are also creating some new December traditions together, which is fun. We did some things last year that we definitely want to do again this year.
Accountability: I am officially a CAMAW drop out, but I am not too mad at myself. I have been eating nuts and had a few chocolate drops (whoops!), but I am generally eating well and the addition of very dense protein back is really filling me up so that I am eating less. I'm generally feeling good about my choices. Oh and I was well enough for 20 minutes on the elliptical last night :)
B: Flat White with Almond Milk & Egg White Bites
MS: Noosh Coffee Flavored Almond Butter
L: Steak
AS: Turkey
D: ?? ...I am pushing for skirt steak tacos...

Good morning JB, glad you are starting to feel a bit better and with you on the "yay weekend!". I cannot wait to leave for the airport this afternoon and have a weekend at home!
qotd - I have a group of friends and every year we do a pre-holiday movie-dinner-cards against humanity day! It is my favorite annual event! This year we're mixing it up and doing an escape room instead of a movie but it will be the same fun time. We even have a trophy for the winner of "most horrible human" from the CAH portion. It's wildly coveted (I have yet to win so I've been working on my horribleness).
Photo friday - my lovely sister and I do Thanksgiving Sister photos every year. This is last year and this year. It makes the whole transformation that I started in August 17 through the surgery in Feb to now seem more real.
menu today
no coffee left in the hotel room and the cafe doesn't open until 630! So I had my first Click espresso protein shake -- good coffee taste!
B - click protein espresso drink

d - cheese stick and salami or protein shake in warm skim milk depending how the airport run goes
There will be coffee w half and half along with tea through the day

Have a fantastic Friday!!
