What's on your Photo Friday menu RNYers?

Morning all and happy Friday!

I'm at home today and getting ready for a day of driving DW all over town for doctors appointments. Beginning with a sleep deprived EEG. That means that neither of us slept very much last night so this is going to be a long day fueled by caffeine...

QOTD: What do you have planned for the weekend? Are you getting ready for the holidays? Shopping? Party planning? Or are you avoiding the malls and going to rest?

After very little sleep, I want to get in some extra napping, and I'd like to spend a few hours in the yard raking up what I hope will soon be the last of this year's leaves. I'd also like to do some baking, take a run at the lake and make a stop at the thrift store. The really exciting bit is that Saturday afternoon/evening is a Winter's Eve celebration at one of my favorite local historical farms. It is always really fun and a nice addition to the holiday and winter spirit.

Accountability: I'm still struggling with wanting too much coffee and carbs. The stress and cold weather have ramped it up even more. It is a challenge to keep it protein forward but I keep working at it.

Menu:

B: ham, HB egg

S: Chomps

L: we will be out and about so I'm not sure but I will have more Chomps and find some protein

S: another Chomps

D: hopefully some shrimp or a crab cake

E: probably not much since I will be on the road and miss my session with my trainer. Maybe a walk when we get home

Good morning,menu friends! QOTD weekend plans include housework and rest and knitting. I hate having to shop this time of year as the stores are just crazy. Accountability fair yesterday food was perfect but didn't get a walk in with Lily as we had to get a tire put on the truck and it was 8 when we got home. We have to get a good walk in tonight. Weight 126.2 today. Heres the food B 1/2c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 2 slices turkey 1 slice cheese 3 grape tomatoes D 4 oz chicken kiev S string cheese sm meat stick. Have a great day everyone. Time to start the coffeepot!

Morning Karen! I'm sorry that you didn't get your walk in. I know how good it is for both you and Lily!

Have a good day and stay warm!

Oh, I also meant to ask you, were any of the bad storms that passed through IL near you?

Yes the one in Taylorville was about 30 miles away from where we're working near Chatham. There was also one about 20 miles away from where our home is in Brighton. In fact our son said the power was out for several hours due to lines being down.

I forgot to give a shout out to catwoman, Trish, who is having her second PS today. Hopefully she will log in soon to let us know how she is doing. Send her your healing thoughts and prayers.

Good morning Janet and menu crew, sounds like a busy day Janet, caffeine will be your friend today, no doubt about it.
