What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
on 1/2/20 2:04 am
Ha... I wouldn't put it past my little devious Fezzik to do this! Maybe that is why he insists on me walking him out of the bedroom and makes me shut the door in the middle of the night!
Yesterday we had a nice first day of 2020. Very low key--lots of relaxing and then we went to see Grim's daughter to exchange Christmas presents. I am so thrown off by all of these mid-week holidays. Is it really Thursday?
Accountability: 3 days in a row of perfection. STREAK! I am even starting to feel the carb cravings weaning. Grim's daughter offered me candy when we were at her house, and I wanted it, but it was just a little nag, not tugging on my arm and yelling (yes, my carb craving is like an insistent toddler!). I decided that I am going to pull out the Keto Strips and make sure that I get myself into ketosis and stay there for some extra accountability.
QOTD: Do you still have your Christmas decorations up? We never put up much--just a small tree and stockings. The tree was on it's last legs, so we are going to take down the ornaments and throw it out tomorrow for trash day, so clean up this year is super easy :)

Clearly someone photoshopped in an orange cat to protect The Fez' identity. I am sure this is our sewing machine... And don't I have a cute outfit with that tiger on it?

I finally figured out how to view my MRI. Eck! No wonder I hurt LOL I will attach the ones I saved. I'm like my grandpa, he always showed off his scars & xrays when he had his neck surgeries.
as evident by posting this early(for me) I haven't slept much. Hoping to catch at least another hour but I'm wide awake. I had a really painful day yesterday. I'm so hoping that the pain management clinic appointment will be set up today or tomorrow. I just need a little relief. Some sleep!
qotd:my mom usually puts up a lot but almost all the indoor stuff is put up and the only thing left is outdoor stuff which will come down Saturday. The weather is supposed to be nice. She did a snow man tree outside so it literally has 6 ornaments and LED lights to take off. The lights on the fence will be easy too.
breakfast: PP shake
Snack 1: cheese
Lunch: soup
Snack 2: greek yogurt
Dinner: TBD maybe shrimp

I have no idea how to read an MRI, so I'll trust you that it is bad... I hope that you get some relief soon.

I'm not really sure either I just know that the white stripe, which I think is the spinal cord?, should be all the way down and should have nothing interrupting it.
the other stuff I've seen on the disc I have no freakin clue! LOL

Good morning! Yes I keep getting confused which day it is too. I got an alert that something is being delivered today and wondered why they were doing that on Sunday.
qotd - since I was gone, I only put up the holiday wreath on the front door and I changed that out yesterday so I'm set!
i am off today and want to get something hints done around the house and I have a massage this afternoon, plus today's elliptical is 32 minutes along one of the Galapagos.
menu today is a bit boring - it's something I decided to do at the beginning it the year based on a post from White Dove to someone else about "go cold turkey, as in make a turkey breast and eat that". Well, I had a turkey breast on the freezer and thought...hmm.
menu
b - 4 oz turkey breast
l - 4 oz turkey breast
d - 4 oz turkey breast
es - light and fit greek
plus I will have coffee and half and half X3 and then a large green tea and then switch to herbal teas
Have a fantastic day everyone!!
