What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning menu friends! An overcast day here in Illinois but Miss Lily and I have our 3.4 miles done and will do another mile after dinner. Accountability was spot on food and stepwise yesterday and weight is 121.4 today. QOTD vanilla but strawberry is my favorite--yes I am an odd duck. I have laundry to do to get ready to head out to Springfield again. Our oldest son is getting married there Saturday and then we're working in Chatham for a week or two. Youngest son's work is screwing with him and dragging their feet filing paperwork for him to go off on work men's comp. The surgeon says he needs surgery but won't touch him till a decision is made on the work man's comp. So he's working on a hurt leg for who knows how long. The stress is driving me bonkers so food is calling my name but I will resist. Enough whining,Karen! Have a great day full of smart and healthy choices!

How about I post my menu? B 2/3c earnest eats hot cereal L 4oz deli chicken and cheese D 4 oz baked chicken S if needed sm apple with 1 T peanut butter. That's better.

I hope all goes well with the wedding and that your other son gets what he needs soon so he can start to heal.

Have fun mother of the groom!

Good morning everyone. I have been reading every day, but not posting. I need to get better.

JB- I am glad you went to the doctor. There is a nasty cold going around here too and a few cases of strep.

My son told me last week that he is swearing in for the Coast Guard the 21st of October and leaving June 18th. When he decided to join, the deal was that he had to complete his college degree first. He will graduate college June 13th. I know I should be happy, but I just feel sad. New Jersey feels so far away. I am just going to miss him. This has been a year of change for me and I don't like it. I don't let go well, but I am trying. I am trying to embrace this time and really work on me and be the best me that I can be. I am very proud of both of my kids, they are amazing adults. This world is a better place with them in it. Thanks for listening to me ramble this morning. I think I have had too much coffee! Lol

Accountability- Struggling, but keeping my head above the water. Today will be better.

QOTD- Chocolate

Food for today-

2 scrambled eggs with 1/4 c. cottage cheese

Cauli rice, made with blackened chicken and cabbage

Halibut with zoodles, pesto

Light and fit pumpkin

Ex- Headed out for a walk with Josie. It feels very fall today. I will also walk later with my husband after dinner.

* I will be strong today. I will nourish my body with good food, drink lots of water, take my vitamins and be kind to myself!

It's hard when they move away and so far.

I imagine seeing your kids move out into the world is hard! It seems like you have raised amazing, caring humans and that you are so close, I bet they come back regularly:-)

I'm proud of your son. My son really wanted to join but is going to college first.

Take care.

Good morning~ That meme is truth - to this day! Glad to hear you're on the mend, JB. Your voice description reminds me of a Friends episode where Phoebe was sick and loved her deep throaty sultry singing voice - it was a funny one. I had a good day yesterday - found new ways to avoid the potluck food trap while still socializing - win! I'm meeting my sister tonight to see Downton Abbey - I cannot wait!!! We are going to dinner also and I am trying my best to not overthink the food part. I plan to order a protein appetizer and call it a day.

QOTD - It depends.... Candy is definitely chocolate 100%! Ice cream or cake could be either, coffee - definitely vanilla.

Accountability - weird small pouch (super rare for me), didn't eat until dinner time

TSS 2 years 10 months 171.9

B-coffee w/ half and half x 3

L - Shwarma Chicken, cup of chopped salad, cucumber ranch dressing

d-TBD - charcuterie, steak or shrimp

Have a great day!!

ETfix a stupid typo that bugged me - they may be others, but they didn't bug

Let me know what you think of Downtown Abbey. I saw it on Fri.
