What's on your HALLOWEEN Menu, RNYers?

Morning all and happy Halloween! Got a dentist appointment first thing this morning. It's just a cleaning, but still I think going to the dentist is my least favorite thing in the world. It's right up there with going to the gynecologist.

QOTD: I have been living in my neighborhood for five years now and the first year I bought all this candy because I live in a huge neighborhood with a bunch of kids, but I didn't get one dang trick or treater! The second year I had candy on hand just in case and the same thing....zero. So since then I don't buy candy and just turn my porch light off. Yeah, I've turned into one of those Halloween grinches I used to hate as a kid when I went trick or treating. Lol

B: premier shake

B2: coffee w/Splenda

L: turkey and cheese roll up

D: salmon and veggies

Morning all! Eating my breakfast while I wait for an Uber to take us to the cardiologist. I haven't been driving much because I don't want to faint while I'm driving in traffic! Hoping that the appointment goes well because I've really been feeling crappy.

We usually had a good bunch of kids at the old house. No small kids close but there was an apartment complex a few blocks away and they would come in big groups. The condo association had a party yesterday so not sure whether or not kids will come to the door or not. Also the forecast is calling for severe storms tonight so I suspect that will keep kids from coming out.

Menu:

B: coffee w/ CarbMaster milk & Miralax, vanilla CarbMaster yogurt w/ raspberries & slivered almonds

S: pumpkin RX bar

L: ? hoping to get a salad while we're out

S: protein shake

D: if I'm up to it, I'd like to make a TJ's cauliflower crust pizza with mushrooms, artichoke hearts and chicken on mine.

E: lots of walks from the train to the appointments but no time in the gym yet.

Good luck at the appt. I hope you get some answers.

Happy Halloween everybody!

OK OH conference attendees, if you are in one of the pictures of the fashion show or the after party, please just tell me. There are many pictures and they are dark and small and look the same. Plus I'm old and have read the fine print of income tax regulations for 30 years, and I have my face pressed up against the screen with my reading glasses as it is.

So I need the cheat codes. Just a simple "I'm the smokeshow in the blue dress in the fourth picture from the left" will do.

It's not fishing for compliments -its just saving wear and tear on me.

We have more snow on the ground today and I am freezing. If I was the kind of person who could sleep I would have definitely slept in this morning. I was too cold to venture out to 6:30 gym and I'm going to wait until it warms up.

But I'm working from home which is exciting. I have a number of calls and have to get ready for a presentation next week, but I'm also going to the store to get a new coat and to Walgreen's to get a flu shot.

QOTD: Yes, we get a slew. We live in the old part of downtown and kids can hit bunch of houses by just going up and down three streets. I love to see the kids in their costumes - that is why I am working from home today. Hopefully the weather will improve a bit so that they can make it out.

I am not planning on eating any candy tonight, but would definitely have one of Kelly's spider cookies.

Breakfast: Turkey meatballs and cottage cheese

snack: protein bar

Lunch: turkey

Dinner: TBD

Have a great day, all!

So how is the CrossFit open going? I have been following. Saw the @DaveCastro clue for 20.4.

Sounds like you are all going to die. Ha. Common occurrence in the gym.

Yikes. Sounds like a weekend of wall balls. It's been fun to do the Open, but kind of stressful because I have been traveling and had to do 20.1 in Waco and 20.3 in Walla Walla. Fortunately, I am back in Chicago for the next two.

A bunch of people from our gym went to watch regionals a couple of years ago and they said that the coolest part was that when Dave Castro saw our head trainer in the audience, he recognized him from SEALS.

I have been in my own workout hell. My squats have not been progressing so trainer has decided he will kill me in volume. In last 2 weeks I did 360 squats- goblet, pistol and back squats. 230 in one workout, 130 in another. Oof.

Enjoy the kiddos!

Good morning menu friends! Miss Lily and I reached a new level of crazy at 5 am today when we walked in the dark and in the snow too. Got it done though and will walk more later. Accountability was great yesterday. We missed our am walk because bnb of rain but did the other2. Weight today is 121.4. QOTD no candy in my house so no trick or treaters either. I simply can't be trusted with candy! Here's the food plan for the day B 11/2 protein pancakes with sugar free syrup L 3/4 c chili D 4 oz baked chicken S if needed 3 peanut butter crackers. Time for some coffee! Have a great day full of smart choices!

Please Lord let me have 1/2 the commitment and will power that Karen has. Amen
