What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

DD studies accounting and they need a Masters to take the CPA exam. So she is receiving two degrees in May.

I will have to show Marilyn the crotchet yoda - it's adorable.

Mornin' All!

I'm going to a lecture this morning and then I'm planning to spend a couple of hours at the public library this afternoon working on a few things. I'm hoping being out of the house will keep me from eating and thinking about food, This is insane. I've done well the last two days, but my weight is still at the top of its range. I think it's the heavier eating I did last week (too many meals out -- and parties), plus I've had a lot of sodium the last couple of days to boot - like deli turkey and salad dressing on my salads. I was planning to go to a wine & cheese social on Friday night, but I just emailed the host to cancel out. The last thing I need is another "eating event" when I'm trying to rein in my food before the holiday stuff hits us next week.

The hearing went well yesterday. I am now this woman's temporary legal guardian. The hearing for permanent guardianship is in January. I've contacted the place were she's a resident to see if I can get out there sometime this week since we're not expecting any snow. I just want to see if there are any immediate concerns or issues with her that I need to be aware of. Other than that, not much going on...

QOTD: I don't think I've seen any of the movies other than the original. I remember standing in line for probably two hours when it first opened in theaters. One of the friends I was with ran over to a store to buy a couple of things of "Slime" so we'd have something to play with while waiting (long before smartphones, of course! Anyone remember Slime?)

Accountability was good yesterday. Even got in an hour of Zumba!

4.5 years out:

B: Greek yogurt with a fruit compote. Maybe protein pancakes as well (depends on how motivated I am!). Coffee with half & half.

MS: protein shake

L: salad with diced turkey and light salad dressing (I know it's a lot of sodium, but I need to use up this turkey)

AS: L&F yogurt and/or raw veggies with ranch Greek yogurt dip. Or else a piece of crustless protein pumpkin pie

D: turkey burger (??)

ex: yoga

have a great day, everyone!

Slime is still a thing, my niece would make it (with glitter!, with different colors) up until this last summer. I'm reasonably sure she kept elmers glue in business!

I remember Slime and Slime with worms.

my brother had the worms version!

I remember slime! That stuff was sure smelly.

hi all

QOTD: I'm a star trek fan over a star wars but DH is star wars... we will prob go see the movie.

scale is eeking down as long as I keep pouring fluids and watching my intake.

have been having crazy days at work. was so so tired yesterday didn't go to gym but came home and tried to relax. didn't want to get up this morning. Had a bad rain storm last night and dogs were restless.

DH bought laminate flooring for the bedrooms last night and underlayment. so we will be ripping out carpets and putting that down, then we can move the bed to the other room. and then fix that room...

food plan

veggie stir fry with chicken shrimp and pork (last nights meal) X 2

chicken meatloaf from the other day. more veggies

protein shake for gym time

I did that in my 3 bedrooms, the worst part was moving everything. But I'm happy with the results and don't miss the carpet. I learned a lot and also replaced the trim and did it all by myself. I wished I'd payed more attention to my Dad when I had the chance. He was a finish carpenter and amazing at all of this.

Morning! It's raining and gross today, but going to be 70 degrees again. I have meetings all over campus, otherwise I wouldn't care as much. My umbrella will be getting a work out today.

QOTD: I had no idea that the baby Yoda thing was being backed by a TV show, so no I'm not a Star Wars fan, LOL. I think I've only seen one of the movies.

My Food:

• Coffee w/ Cream x2
• English Muffin, Sausage, Egg, Cheese
• BLT w/ Avocado (half of a sandwich, probably)
• Turkey w/ Broccoli

Ha ha, JB...that's a cute meme. I am not a Star Wars person but that little thing is super cute.

You guys, how did I not know that there is a Second City performance of Love, Factually at the Kennedy Center here in DC? It's a spoof of the movie Love, Actually, which is my most favorite holiday movie of my LIFE. I have to find someone who is willing to shell out $80 and go see it with me! I highly doubt Kris will be that person lol, so I am going to start texting all my girlfriends!

I am posting here to keep my mind off the fact that I have a job interview in 11 minutes. It's a promotion within my team, so my current boss is phone interviewing me. Awkward. The good news is, the role is only open to internal people in our team and it will be decided by January 1st. So it's not like I have to wait endlessly. I feel prepared, so here goes...

B: 3 oz boars head ever roast chicken, 2 oz goat cheese, after my iced coffee with half and half

L: The last of the leftover tomato soup and tuna

D: Haddock and rice for Kris, haddock and cauliflower pancakes from Trader Joes for me!

E: MAYBE Body Pump at 7 pm, depends on how the day goes. I am still sore from Saturday's boot camp...so if my neighbor can go for a brisk hour long walk, I may opt for that!

Have a fab day, everyone!
