What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Morning Everyone! I woke up and it is a really chilly fall morning-- a perfect day to stay in bed for a few more hours... Ohhhhh, how I wish I could!

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was nice--lots of down time but I got through my weekend to-do list, too. We went on a gorgeous walk on Saturday, too! We live in a very densely populated city that has some pretty rough parts, but there is this incredible 650 acre park that had fields, woodlands and ponds. You'd never know you are in a city, when you are there.

Accountability: I ran 3.5 miles yesterday and ate on plan until evening when I got seriously antsy and was CRAVING pastries. I settled for popcorn, and then proceeded to actually dream about donuts...

QOTD: How many pillows do you sleep on? I am struggling to find the right pillow combo lately. I tend to start with 2, and at at some point throw one off and go down to one. I think I need to go pillow shopping, but how can you know if you are getting a good one just by fluffing it in the store?

Exercise: I am driving today, so I will pop over to the gym right after work and get a few miles in on the treadmill.

Good Morning! JB- so glad you had a nice weekend. We didn?t do much and it?s been hot so we tried to get all the errands done in the morning to avoid being out when it?s the hottest.

Accountability- Decent weekend with not too many extras.

QOTD: just 1 and a teddy bear(Emily brought him home to me from her first trip to camp).

TSS: 5 years

B: SF latte, Eggbeaters, turkey sausage links and 1/2 an orange

L: Albacore lettuce wraps and baby carrots

S: SF almond milk latte, 1/2 real good food breakfast sandwich, and carbmaster yogurt

D: Tri tip, green beans, sliced fruit, and 2 squares dark chocolate

ES: Low carb pita with butter and SF jam, Homemade Greek yogurt with SF syrup and ¼ cup fiber cereal

E: An hour stair climber and 40 mins of elliptical

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1430 Protein:122 Carbs:93 Fat:68

Have a great one!

ETA- Our pillows are from Ikea.

Good morning, everybody!

Its a rainy Monday morning here in Chicago. I haven't been outside to see the temperature yet. The weekend was good. I finally caught and released some fish on my fly rod. I have caught a number of fish on guided trips in Utah, but never caught any on my own in Illinois. I have a gift certificate from Orvis and didn't want to use it until I could say that I had actually caught something in Illinois. So next weekend I will be heading out to get waders with my certificate. My casting is still not a thing of beauty.

We are going out to dinner tonight because a new person is starting at work. Ordinarily, I would be excited about that, but Monday is such a tough night to go out in the city, I won't get home until late tonight and then immediately have to go back into work.

Doing the 300 workout today. I'm sure Andrew Pleavin's 18:11 is safe, but hopefully I can finish without having to scale. Edit 27:56 as Rx. I guess my second career as a baggy skinned extra at Thermopylae will have to wait.

QOTD: I have three, but most nights use two. If I sleep on my side I have to use one to cushion my bony knees from hitting each other. A good pillow is a treasure.

Breakfast: Turkey meatballs and cottage cheese

Snack: Protein Bar

Lunch: Chicken

Snack: Light and fit

Dinner: Fish

Have a great day, all!

That's so cool! He must be so excited :)

He is! One of his lifelong dreams (either hockey or baseball). So proud of him.

That is so cool!!, please tell him congratulations. Also, I went on the Monsters website and I love those green shirts with the monster claw. (Not that I need to buy more hockey sweaters)

He's so excited!

Let me know if you need a puck or anything.

I may take you up on that.
