What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu, RNYers?

Happy Fri-YAY! Let's see your pics!

I am still struggling with a sore foot but I am heading into Boston to meet up with my mom and we are going to see the Downton Abbey Exhibition at the Park Plaza Castle. They have rebuilt the sets and there are a ton of original costumes! It should be fun. We are going out to lunch afterwards, so I only have a 1/2 menu planned today.

My pics are a throwback to when Daisy was visiting and we went to the Newport Mansions (which are a lot like the Downton Castle). Here we are, all trying on hats and clothes at the gift shop!

Accountability: My cousin showed up unexpectedly with pastries last night. Whomp whomp.

QOTD: Which TV show character would you like to swap places with for a week? Since I have Downton on the brain, I am going with the Countess Cora Crowley. She seemed to have the best, most uncomplicated, life of the "upstairs" crew and I would love to be in her clothes and castle for a week.

hi all and happy Friday!!

ran by grocery on way home yesterday, didn't do gym. when I left work I was sooo drained! I found gizzards, chicken quarters, and riblets to cook, chicken meatballs, plus veggies and some sugar free jello were the highlights. remote today so I'm taking it easy.

did 3 miles at lunch yesterday. keep the sleepies off me for a little bit!

QOTD: I would say one of the 'housewives' what just go to the gym and shop all day...

should be leaving after work to go to the gym to lift and cardio.

food plan today:

coffee

water

more coffee

protein pancakes

maybe the riblets and veggies?

not sure what else.

No fair--you have to pick an actual housewife! The location and husband matter, lol!

ooh I love the Housewives - my total guilty pleasure! For the husband, I would be Kyle! For the life, maybe Lisa Rinna? She seems hilarious. And obviously has more food restraint than I lol!

Good morning menu friends! Miss Lily and I have our first long walk in and will do 2 more at some point today. Accountability was fair yesterday-great stepwise but I changed up super to a slice of thin crust veggie pizza. Not bad though. Weight today is 122 even. Here's the food plan for the day B 2/3c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 4 oz chicken salad D 4 oz cowboy burger(actually ground chicken) S if needed serving smart food delight white cheddar popcorn. Pics are from this AM. None of me--not awake yet.

Miss Lily is so cute!!

Such a beautiful girl! She looks like she is doing a wistful model pose in the second pic :)

Happy Friday!! Yesterday I kept thinking it was Friday and when I woke up, I thought oh, yay, Saturday. At least I realized it and got out of bed!

Have fun at the Downton exhibition! Are you ready for the movie? I think it comes out soon.

qotd - any of the hosts for the cool history shows like Lucy Worsley who hosted Empire of the Tsars. They get private access to so many cool things and I bet they get to touch them too!

Having dinner at a friends so we can help her pick out new flooring, so that will be fun! I'm making a proteiny dessert that I've put together in my head from several recipes - ricotta + handful of crystallized chopped ginger + greek yogurt + lemon juice and vanilla, layered with blackberries and blueberries and frozen. I am thinking I should have gone with a sweeter yogurt like vanilla but I'm sure it will be fine.

menu

all the fluids

b - carbmaster cottage cheese

l - everoast deli chicken and slice cheddar

d -pork tenderloin, cauliflower mash

s - ricotta yogurt thing

my photo today is of some of the lightning that caused my hours of flight delay. I do like watching lightning from the plane, in the distance!

Yes! I am so excited for the movie. My parents are going to be in England when it comes out and will see it there! They are trying to figure out if it is worth it to get all the way over to the castle because tours will e closed for the season and its unclear how much you can be on the grounds when it is closed...

Also SUCH a great answer to the QOTD. I would love to be one of those hosts. A friend of a friend managed to get a gig as a host of travel show that focused on little known islands that was on for a few seasons, and I thought that was brilliant.

Oh, that would be so fun. I could be a travel host with museum expertise, lol!
