What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
on 4/14/20 2:00 am
Morning, kids. I am up early today and hope to dive into work and get some things done early today. My schedule on Mondays is back to back meetings, now, so it stinks to start the week feeling so behind on the actual "work" part of the week. I am ready to dig in!
Yesterday's weather was wild. Not nearly as scary as the south's tornadoes, obviously, but there were a lot of power outages and the morning news is filled with scary pictures of trees down on houses and cars. No major damage at our house, but Grim's GRILL was knocked over and destroyed. RIP. We'll have to get him a really nice new one.
Accountability: Oh good, Grim baked again. I know that I am in charge of my own body... but, clearly, I suck at self-control.
QOTD: What is making you happy right now? I am really trying to stay focused on the good things right now. I love my extra time with Grim and the kitties. Grim also built me the most beautiful built-in in my new "office", which is so stunning. I am also happy that I am following through with my goal to learn Spanish.

Good morning everyone! Had some strange dreams last night and woke up with a killer headache. Was an hour late starting work yesterday morning because of the horrible storms we had and the power going in and out. Then was having some system issues. Hoping today will be more productive, but I'm not feeling it with this horrible headache. Ugh! Yesterday was pretty good eating wise, but geez Louise I'm finding it so hard to stay around 800 calories a day! I am trying to hard, but I find myself hungry a lot....or maybe it's head ginger. I don't know. I miss the the days of taking a few small bites and feeling that restriction. I only get it now if I eat really dense protein. Otherwise, it's just not there anymore.
QOTD: Just being able to work from home while staying in my pj's and being able to spend time with my cat. Lol doesn't take much to make me happy.
B: premier shake
B2: coffee w/Splenda X 2 or 3
L: turkey lunch meat and a cheese stick
D: smoked turkey and veggies
S: L&F yogurt
Surgery: RNY on 1/23/19
Sorry about the grill. Grim deserves a really nice one (so he can cook for both of you this summer)! Pictures of the new office sometime?
I did some cleaning yesterday but didn't have swiffer liquid. I either need to find some at the store or figure out how to reuse the bottle with my own solution (I found instructions online).
I am not looking forward to my weekly shopping today but am happy that I have a new set of masks to wear thanks to my wonderful friend (met via OH a few years ago).
QOTD: I am happy to be able to walk in warm weather, to spend lots of time with sweet Justice. I really enjoyed my zoom chat session and ****tail party last week so will try to do more of them.

I'm up but not awake. coffee is going in. I did sleep last night but around 3 am our headboard fell over against the wall waking me up then I had a hard time going back to sleep. it was funny DH is painting the room so he scooted up the bed so he could get to the wall but didn't put it back - then right before bed he said something about it and I said- just wait in the middle of the night it will fall over and wake us all up... so a giant boom, and he says what was that?? I told him and he started laughing...
food was ok- I did pretty well. today will be another scrounging around looking for food day.
QOTD: WELL- my old yoga studio from 2 years ago is doing a promo for online classes- 30 days for $30! it is super cheap so I signed up yesterday. I'm so excited! and I just can't hide it. lol also- I'm hosting my third live thrift to rid myself of excess inventory (you guys know I do personal shopping and have online shops) so looking to clear out inventory at super cheap prices so that is going... shameless plug- if you need clothes I can send the link lol (sizes 0-16)
