What is on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

Bonjour mes amis, how are you all? I am good. They are calling for a huge snow storm here today, will believe it when I see the snow on the ground. Don't you find the media makes blows weather totally out of proportion and snow storms generally sound like Armageddon and then we get maybe an inch of snow? At least that is how it is here.

Accountability: had a small pouch day yesterday, didn't eat my evening snack, all was good

QOTD: Can you speak a different language other than English? English is my first language, I am fully fluent in French (speak, read, write) I can understand Hindi, some Urdu and some Punjabi. I have always wanted to learn Italian & Spanish, maybe someday.

TSS: 5yrs + 3mos

B: coffee with RTD (ready to drink) vanilla PP & cheese omelette

L: (left overs) salmon & couscous

S: yogurt & blueberries

D: grilled chicken over mixed greens & grilled zucchini with candied pecans/goat cheese/cranberries

S: marble cheese

TOTALS: 1069 calories, 126 protein, 49 carbs, 40 fat, 18 sugar

V: PatchMD patches are on + oral B12

E: 8km hike in the snow with the dogs

L: 150oz is my minimum (nailed it yesterday and I feel so much better)

Have an awesome day everyone

Good Morning Daisy and yes, the weather people (at least out of Baltimore) make a small snow storm into snowmageddon. At this point of the winter I am over the snow and really look forward to the time change and getting my hands in the dirt.

QOTD: I don't speak any other languages. I learned a bit of Spanish in high school and a bit of Fren*****ommunity college but not enough to speak, read or write it.

Accountability: I was more mindful ~ progress, not perfection. I am still working on mindful eating and where it leads me during the day/evening.

TSS: 1 year and 2-months/ weight 163

B: coffee and then PP chocolate shake

MS: HB egg with blackberries

L: 3 ounces ever roast chicken, horseradish mustard, 1 babybel cheese mini peppers, and hummus

D: I need an idea - I will be reading what everyone else is having and edit later. We did a freezer clean out and I chose chicken parm. I am not liking my choice at the moment.

120+ liquids and all vitamins

Exercise: treadmill, planks, squat challenge

Make it a great day with smart choices!

hello

quickie for me. Left work yesterday, paid for bill on truck in the shop YAY! Then went to the gym. i took my time it was nice. when i came home i had some chicken with romaine and walden farms dressing. and some wheat thins. then before bed i had pwdered pb and a 50 cal rice cake.

QOTD: i took 4 years of honors german. Really enjoyed it as my mom's side is german. Took one year of french and have had singing experience in russian, italian, spanish, german, french, latin and a little of an african language I can't remember.

after work today im back at gym. been a little slacky this month which doesn't make me happy but honestly been having a lot of job turmoil so that is my excuse plain and simple. plus to some degree i needed a little calm.

food for today:

coffee

water

coffee

water

prot pancakes with psyllium

last of cauli egg chicken sausage hash

need to make this chicken paneer ive got in fridge as well as this crack chicken with bacon. so maybe this evening i can do that after gym.

Be kind to yourself! I know the work situation was a long drawn out/unknown process.

Good morning everyone! I, too, am amazed at how they cover storms these days -- I think there's so much drama in every storm that people are going to end up not taking a major storm seriously at some point with negative effects!

QOTD - my two years of high school french got me into my company 23 years ago and that's pretty much the last time I used it! I also spent 2 years supporting our latin american team so I'm pretty good at reading spanish but I'm not super comfortable speaking; I need to join a conversational group and practice more. I am in awe of polyglots like you, Daisy, especially when your language skills are unrelated languages! A couple of my friends send their kids to immersion language schools and I am so jealous.

I am very out of sorts this week, which isn't really like me. Everything is making me cranky so that's awesome (not). Need to adjust my attitude for sure - I'm thinking this evening to get into a late pilates class or see if I can find a place to get my hair done...but it's scary finding a new stylist!

Menu - coffee and more coffee, then tea

B - carbmaster cin raisin cottage cheese

L - 4 oz ever roast, 1 oz cheese

D - I'm thinking a burger patty but haven't decided

S - some type of yogurt

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

I wonder if your "feeling off" is the calm after the storm of the move (pun intended since we are also talking about storms)?

Oh, that is a really good point! Change is change, and I've been anticipating the move for so long, now that it's done, it could completely be part of my little funk.

Morning! The Smar****ch I mentioned buying yesterday was terrible and I mailed it back already. I did some research and bought another one to try. I did a kettlebell work out and then ran 2.5 miles last night. I run a lot but hadn't been doing much strength and now I'll never be able to sit on the toilet again - I'm so sore! Therefore, today will be a rest day other than my normal 2-3 miles of walking around campus.

QOTD: I took Spanish in high school but about 85% of it has left me. Here in NC kids take Spanish starting in 2nd or 3rd grade so both my kids are well exposed to it and my youngest is being placed in the AIG program to hopefully get her some additional exposure to languages because she loves them. She loves Korean especially.

My Food:

• Coffee w/ Cream x2
• (2) Eggs, (2) Slices of Cheese on a low-carb wrap
• TBD, I am going to go out for something. I probably will get sauteed cauliflower and mushrooms, one of my favorite lunches with a deli here.
• Burger w/ Sweet Potato (I ended up going to run club and just had an Apple for dinner last night)
• Protein Bar, Nuts, Apple w/ PB

I just sprayed coffee on my screen...that having to fall onto the toilet is a good/bad thing for sure, isn't it?

that's great they're starting languages in elementary school there! I was in high school in the 70s there (well, in NC - but we lived in Raleigh, not CH), and they were behind my previous high school in Ohio as far as languages go. I had to pick up French & German because the level of Spanish I needed wasn't offered there. They only went as far as Spanish 3, but I started Spanish in middle school, so that wouldn't have worked for me. (of course, this probably depends on the district - Chapel Hill's demographics would be very different from Raleigh's - I would assume a majority of the kids have parents who work at or go to UNC-CH, so they'd really push education for their kids. But then, it could be that all schools are starting languages earlier, too - not just there). But anyway, that's great. Also great about your daughter's interest in languages!
