What's on your Monday menu RNYers?

Good morning and happy Monday! I was making my coffee this morning and added my foam, I looked down and there was a heart. It made me smile. Maybe I am eternally optimistic, but I felt like in some way life was telling me, " I got you, girl!"

I was up again in the night again. I came out on the couch and slept in front of the fire. Why am I not sleeping?? Or why can't I stay asleep?

I am going to finish up my Christmas baking today, deliver it and get my Christmas cards in the mail.

QOTD- I am done with my shopping. We do a very minimal Christmas. I still need to buy groceries for Christmas dinner.

Accountability- I ate 5 Doritos dipped in queso cheese. My kids were eating them and I decided I need some too. I don't even like Doritos!!

Food for today-

2 cups coffee with Miralax

2 eggs with 1/2 c. cottage cheese

1 can albacore tuna with red onion, 2 T. SG poppyseed dressing

5 oz shredded chicken breast with salsa

Naked jerky

Lots of water, I feel puffy today. I know I didn't get enough yesterday.

Trying very hard to be on plan 100%

I love your foam heart!!

So cute and I love the message you saw in it.

How is the foam topping? I saw that last time I picked up some Jordan's but wasn't feeling it, but I'm curious!

I like it! I have two (1-caramel 1-peppermint).

Ok, now I HAVE to get some!!

I really like the marshmallow and the vanilla. I tried the others and they were yuck. I get them at Marshalls. It reminds me of a latte. Something fun in my black coffee.

Mornin'!

weekend was OK - too much going out (and a party on Saturday night) meant too much eating, though - and it's showing up on the scale. I've committed to being 100% on plan this week because I know next week will be a challenge. My brother from NC will be visiting us, so I know there will be a lot of meals out. Yesterday was day 1 of on-plan eating and I did great! YAY!

I bought a mid-century solid walnut dresser (actually, chest of drawers) yesterday at an antique place and can't wait to get the thing home. I love it (funny how stuff from my childhood era is now available at antique stores!). I'm going to keep my eyes peeled on the internet to see if I can find any of the other pieces from the set - I'd love to have, at minimum, the matching low dresser.

I also went to Costco yesterday with a neighbor (I'm not a member - but she is) and bought the deboned rotisserie chicken package that Emily mentioned a few days ago. This should be great for my 100% on-plan eating week!

QOTD: I'm still struggling. We're all middle-aged and older (except for my 21-year-old niece) and no one wants anything. On the contrary, they want to get RID of things. I may end up getting gift cards to restaurants or amazon or something for most of them.

3.5 years out:

B: overnight protein oats

MS: coffee with half & half, some kind of protein shake

L: homemade cottage cheese with homemade blueberry/blackberry sauce

AS: hummus with baby carrots

D: rotisserie chicken, maybe some vegetables

Let me know what you think of the chicken! So delicious...I have plans to go to Costco on Sunday (god help me, right before Christmas, but I need a few things like their mashed potatoes from by the rotisserie chickens - so the date matters) and I am definitely getting a big bag of that chicken!
