What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Morning all! Wow, things are escalating so quickly around here. One of my schools has 3 campuses and they are all closed due to a threat from the virus. Thankfully, I haven't been to any of those buildings in over a month, so I am not on quarantine. In fact, I will be at another of my schools all day today... There was a teacher's union meeting last night, and they think its just matter of time before the rest of the district closes. I can't even imagine what the next few weeks will bring.

Accountability: 3rd perfect day in a row with food but I have been very sedentary. I am avoiding taking the train, and driving adds in extra time and does not allow for walking.

QOTD: Do you have any phone numbers memorized? I always wonder what will happen if we don't have access to our cell phones suddenly? Could you reach anyone? I have a freakishly good memory for numbers and I remember a lot of numbers of friends from elementary school, still! I also know the numbers for Grim, my parents, and a few close friends.

Oh, this week has been a month already.

It's so sad to me that one of the big concerns with school closing during this situation is that kids won't have access to their only meals. I also saw a take that said covid19 isn't impacting kids so why are we closing the schools -- being a teach/educational facility staff misr keep everyone youthful (or there are people out there that don't realize schools have adults of all ages and health situations).

qotd - my grandparents although it's been since 2008 I could call and speak to one of them. Wouldn't it be awesome if they could still connect you through.

Currently, the only phone number I know is my sister's...I have to look at my signature line to give out my office number, lol.

menu today is

3X coffee plus half and half

last 3 oz of left over Italian beef

3 oz ever roast del chicken with .8 oz cheese

3 oz ever roast deli chicken, 1 container carbmaster cottage cheese

I have Pilates cardio tonight and center and balance class which is stretching and foam rolling and balance exercises. It's a nice combo with the cardio class.

Hope everyone's Thursday is only a day long!

Good morning all! I so could have used some more sleep! At least I didn't have to work late yesterday. Our AC went out at work (and with it being so warm here in the south already) they sent us home early. The earliest anyone would be able to come out to fix it would be this morning. It was so warm and miserable that we were struggling to stay awake. Hopefully today will be better! I was finally down a little over a pound this morning. So at least the scale is moving in the right direction again! I have been more disciplined with my eating this week so I'm hoping that continues!

QOTD: My memory is pretty good. I have always remembered every landline number my family ever had growing up. Also every address I've ever lived at. I also have my parents landline memorized as well as one of my aunts numbers, but that's about it. I have no clue what my parents cell numbers are or what my brothers is without looking in my phone. For gods sake, I don't even have my own office number at work memorized. Lol. So yeah, I'd be lost without my cell phone!

B: premier shake

B2: coffee w/Splenda

S: L&F yogurt w/banana

L: salad

S: almonds

D: leftover salmon and broccoli

Congrats on the on scale victory. Glad your back with us.

Good morning menu friends! I hate that's dark so long in the morning with the time change because Miss Lily and I miss our morning walk on work days. We got a good lunch walk an d a nice long evening walk in yesterday a nd food choices were good too. Weight is 120.4 today. Also did good on liquids and need to keep that up today too. Today is our last work day for week 1 here. Here's the food plan B 1/2c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 1 piece roast beef with piece of string cheese D 4 oz of whatever meat hubby fixes. Have a great day full of smart choices everyone!

wow- UT- Chattanooga switched to all online classes as of yesterday, so I wonder how many employers will announce also.

I couldn't sleep last night to I picked up the living room, did a load of laundry, paid some bills. etc. we will see what today holds. I will probably be a zombie by 4.

Might try to leave off an evening snack, having tremendous gas issues. yes tmi but its real...

Good morning JB and menu crew. Wow many changes in the last 24 hours. I am hearing that the NBA player that tested Positive for COVID-19 was interviewed earlier in the week and was making light of the situation. I guess he was even touching reporters recording devices.

My son will be coming home, he needed to speak with the University he is attending in Berlin and they are also moving to remote learning. Mid terms next week. I could have booked a flight for him last evening for Friday the 13th for $598, this morning the same flight is $1496. We are bringing him home on Sunday, just waiting for the final ok from him, I told him to hurry as I can see the prices are climbing. Booking Germany - England - Montreal Canada.

Edited - Ryley will be home Tuesday evening, Flying from Berlin to London on Monday, Night in a Hotel at the airport and then Flight home on Tuesday.

QOTD - I do remember phone numbers, I can call a number one time and remember it. I still remember the phone number we had growing up as well as my grandparents....

Accountability was poor yesterday.

Stay healthy my friends, Mike

Though it is still mostly "business as usual" here in Florida, I am getting very worried about the next few months.

QOTD: I have never had a good memory for phone numbers unless I said them a lot. I remember most of my previous and current numbers and DS's number but that is about it.

L: Everroast chicken and laughing cow cheese

D: ? (At fundraising dinner)

It's my Friday, yay. JB, I am a big copycat - I bought the cranberry relish (I love it) and the Fit Frappe Vanilla - OMG, good!

QOTD: I'd be in big trouble if I lose my phone. I know my immediate family and that's it. I couldn't tell you what my work# is to save my life.

B: fit frappe vanilla, soft boiled eggs, joseph's pita - not sure if i can eat all of this, but I already drank the protein drink and it was so yummmmmmmy, already boiled the eggs.... maybe i'll sub them in at lunch

L: turkey and pita

D: chicken with fajita seasoning, pepper and onions - maybe 1/2 a tortilla

S: shrewd food strawberry puffs (also extremely yummy, high in protein and low in carbs/fat)

I have the Fit Frappe mocha, espresso, and vanilla latte. I think the vanilla is my favorite, too. I blend mine (in my blender) with either cold brew coffee or a mix of cold brew coffee & unsweetened cashew milk - and then some cinnamon and ice. This is my mid-morning snack on mornings when I'm home. I just love it!
