What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
on 10/3/19 2:24 am
Whooooo, it's Little Friday! Couldn't come quick enough... My commute yesterday was ROUGH. I take a commuter train from our suburb into a big station in the city, then take a bus to the office. The bus ride should only be 20 minutes, but obviously, traffic can make it longer. Last night it was pouring and that stupid bus took an HOUR, so I missed the train and had to wait in the station for another hour. I didn't walk in the door until 8pm. Wednesdays should never be so long! I hope the commuter gods smile on me today... I am not in the mood.
Accountability: Still not hungry this week, so calories have stayed low, but I keep saying yes to bites of candy. I need to ditch the sugar.
QOTD: Would you ever consider running for local office? I am not sure why, but people suggest this to me all the time. I might be interested in getting onto the school committee in our city, but that's probably it. I might also be interested in being a staffer in the mayor's office but probably not as an elected official.
I don't honestly see myself eating all of this... I just haven't been hungry! Go figure...
Exercise: F**k the bus. I am walking both ways! 7 miles total.

I have been pretty much sticking to the cream cheese with coconut flour for the "sweet" ones and adding different syrups for the topping. I did make a "savory" one with mozzarella and everything but the bagel seasoning...it was tasty with a smear of cream cheese on top with more EBTB seasoning. I am thankful for you and Daisy for bringing these options into my life!!
Kelly - I ordered you a shirt from my friend's athletic apparel company to trade for a Monster's puck. I will message you when it comes to figure out how to get it to you.

Good morning and happy jr Friday! Your commute sounds awful, I hope your walk is much better!!
i went to bed at 1015 and I've been up since 115 so it's going to be a long day. I have a 6 am meeting in the office and I have two Pilates classes tonight from 630 to 830. Will be a long day!
qotd - nope, I wouldn't consider it but I do admire the people that do, particularly at the local level!
accountability was crap yesterday as I mentioned with my late post but I did stick to the plan once I posted and I did force myself to go workout!

Ugh, JB your commute sounds plain painful! I hope today is better for you.
Today I have a half-day to go to the orthopedic to hopefully get another shot a cortisone and relief for this shoulder! I went to the chiropractor and my back is definitely on the mend. I fell 60% better than yesterday and I am going back today and tomorrow. Sure to be up to 100% by the weekend I am sure. Because I have a half-day I will not have a traditional eating schedule.
QOTD: Never! I don't really 'like' people and would rather be with my dog all day.
B: 2 hard-boiled eggs
MS: PP shake
L: PP shake
AS: apple
D: 4 ounces of grilled chicken thigh with Ceasar salad
100+ ounces of water, all vitamins and hopefully a walk with Max.
You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!
