What's on your Saturday menu, RNYers?
Well folks, it's the weekend! I'm about to hit the road to visit my family in PA for an Easter celebration. The rain and storms appear to be gone for the day so the drive should be okay. Hope to get in some study time when I get home. The clock is ticking for the May 29th exam date.
We got through DW's colonoscopy yesterday although it was very stressful and the driving was horrible as expected. She had 2 pollups and we will have to wait and see what the lab results come back with on those.
QOTD: Since I'm going to visit family today, let's discuss family. How many siblings do you have and where are you in the midst of them? Any steps or halfs? I'm an only child by my parents, but I have 2 half brothers from my dad's second marriage and 2 steps (brother and sister) by my mom's second marriage. I'm the oldest of them all and not particularly close to any of them although the steps and their families will be at brunch today.
Menu:
B: coffee, cottage cheese w/ raspberries & blackberries
Brunch: ham, eggs, fruit
The rest of the day is up in the air but probably more ham, Chomps, ?
Have a great weekend everyone!

The same storms you experienced arrived here in northeast Maryland around 5 so there was no gardening again. Today the sky is blue and the sun is shining so we will plant, as soon as the ground dries up a little. I'm drinking coffee and playing with Max as I try to type this.
QOTD: I am the middle child and only girl in my family. I have a strained relationship with my older brother because of his wife. He has only just begun to talk to me after 6 years and it seriously breaks my heart. I don't like to talk about it. My younger brother and I are super close but he also has zero relationships with my older brother. The entire situation just makes me so sad. We (my younger brother and I) offered counseling/meditation for the three of us but my older brother wants nothing of it. I just can't figure out why.
TSS 1 year and 4-months/weight 160.5 (Shooting for the 150s)
B: DH wants a waffle and bacon - so part of a waffle and bacon
L: leftover meatloaf and asparagus
D: Hoping to go out
120 ounces of fluids and vitamins
Have a great Saturday!!

My sister and I didn't talk for 5 years. It changed. We are still very different personalities but we are good. Things can change.

Good morning menu peeps! A nice day so far in Illinois but rain is expected for a few hours later so Lily and I will head out when I finish typing this. We'll also get a second 1.25 mile walk in early evening when the rain stops. Accountability good but dang I really wanted to snack all night. I knit ,drank decaf coffe and cleaned the kitchen instead. Finally I just went to bed! Weight today 124. QOTD I have 1 younger sister but we are not close at all. In fact she lives an hour away and we really talk. Some hurtful things were said when my mother died and I'll just leave it at that. I've tried to reach out with no response.

Mornin'!
I'm in the chicago suburbs starting with my cousin. We're headed down to the Loop in about 20 minutes to meet up with another cousin and attend her presentation at one of the museums. Then we're having lunch at a swedish restaurant. Then??? I'll probably end up staying here overnight again tonight since madison is supposed to get 5-8" of snow today. Yes, it is late april. Sheesh!
Qotd: i am the oldest of three full siblings and i have two step siblings. I'm not particularly close to my full siblings, but moreso to my brother than my sister. My brother lives in NC, and my sister lives in WI. I know my stepsister but not well. She lives in CO. I've never met my male step sibling as he's estranged from his family. I think he lives in TX.
3 years 10 months out:
B: plain greek yogurt with blueberries
Ms: coffee with half and half (i hope
..), protein shake
L: not sure. Maybe swedish meatballs?
As: protein shake or bar
D: ??
Good morning, all. Drive safely Janet, we are getting storms here today - don't know what its like in PA. Trish, hopefully you are feeling better.
I got a head start on my weekend errands yesterday, so today is pretty relaxed. Tomorrow we are going to see Avengers at 10:30AM show.
Despite todays impending snowstorm, we had the most beautiful tulips in front of out building on Thursday, mostly red, orange and purple.
53 Burpees.
QOTD: I am the oldest of three. One of my sisters is 2 years younger and the other is 11 years younger. I wish that I go to see them more often that I do. They live near Boston and unfortunately, we are all just busy with families and work.
breakfast: Turkey meatballs and cottage cheese
Snack: Protein Bar
Lunch: Salad at Chipotle
Snack: yogurt and granola
Dinner: The long anticipated lamb chops may finally be making an appearance
Have a great day, all.
