Happy Fri-Yay! JB- your scale is lying, don't let it get ya!

I'm taking a few hours off today too in between some conference calls. I have a gap in my day and it'll be great weather for a decent walk out that I'm thinking I'll make Em go with me on. Not much planned for the weekend at the moment but we will find some fun things to do.

Accountability: I had a serving of paleo fig newtons but jogged a little at lunch so I call it balance?

Totals: Cals: 1471 Protein:151 Carbs:121 Fat:54

Have a great one!

LOL yeah,no!!!

Maybe because I've lived in CA the longest, but I don't "hear" an accent here. I notice in the movies when the characters have heavy accents from the south or Midwest or anywhere for that matter, I have a hard time understanding what they are saying. My kids tell me because English is not my first language.

Good morning JB and Menuers,

So glad it is Friday!1 I got lots of plans this weekend. Opening the pool Saturday to warm it up for Memorial day weekend and Sunday dinner at my DB out on the deck with a few friends. SWAP has moved to some yellow phase of opening up so more stores and business will be opening. I think I'll take advantage of the Liquor store opening bit that is it for now.

JB maybe it's not your weight at all. Maybe it is your scale? Check that battery it might just be going bad on you.

QOTD: Yinz never heard my Pittsburgh Accent you Jag offs!!! LOL I am Pittsburgh through and through and get called out for it all the time. Craps table in Vegas, The middle of the Caribbean in Can****here now doubt I bleed Black and Gold.

Accountability: Dear Lord give me strength. I had a bite of that Cheesecake I posted on Monday and a tablespoon plus of Peanut butter and No Exercise.

TSS: 2 years 5 Month 3 day 136.4 (lowest 130.8)

CB: Dark roast coffee with SF ID Caramel Macchiato w/Miralax and Fiber

MS: Oikos Salted Caramel triple zero Greek yogurt, Snack selects .

CB2: Dark roast coffee with SF ID Caramel Macchiato

L: Jimmy dean Eggwich and celery carrots and blue cheese dressing

D: Zucchini boats stuffed with ground turkey meatball mix and vodka sauce.

Water and vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and my blood work has been good. My B12 has been High so I cut my sublingual to every 3rd or 4th day. And I have now added 500mg of Magnesium

Exercise: 3 mile run weather permitting.

Everybody have a Great weekend.

Brightest Blessings,

Chrissy

Here are the hills that are on my running route.

Nice hills. Good for booty. They look like my hills when I do neighborhood wog.

So the view at Aldi's yesterday when I went to go buy meat. Stores are back to being fairly decimated.

Love your workout buddies.

QOTD: If you have met me I think it can safely be said I have a strong NY/Long Island accent. Ha.

So my news is I am going back to work Monday morning 8am. No store and Mall are not open. GNC will be funneling their GNC.com orders to closed stores and they will be filled there. So I will be basically running a warehouse distribution center. IDK. I have to have 2 people there 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. Me and my boys - 2 - 19 year olds and a 22 year old. So weird. I am told to expect 100-150 orders a day and if I hustle I could do 200. The incentive to hustle that hard eludes me, as I get no commission.

So going back to working with reduced salary. Back to 40 hours on my feet - thank God I lift weights. Also back to dragging a suitcase of food and drink with me. The water there is yellow. May no longer need a workout plan. Just go to work. cannot make this stuff up.

• veggie omelette, protein muffin
• turkey sandwich, veggies
• shrimp tacos, salad
• S: Greek yogurt, protein, berries

Ex: probably. Supposed to be 78 and I was planning outdoors so need to get my butt out there early.

Sorry to hear about your water situation at work. We only had water fountains at one time but last year we finally got some water dispensing system with hot cold and room temp water. So glad I don't have to carry water no more.

Good luck at work and be safe.

The Oreo meme was me two days ago eating PB cookies. :(

Love your cute workout buddies. I'm heading for the chunk and the drunk.

QOTD- I'm from Oregon so no accent here. But I love to listen to people with accents, Idris Elba could read the phone book and I'd listen. I had a boyfriend from Panama-loved his accent. Love all the Irish and Scottish accents too, OK I just love accents.

One more day to get through. It was raining and miserable yesterday, I got on my rain gear to let my horse hand graze. It wasn't much fun.

Oregon is opening 30 of it's 36 counties back up today. Of course not the Portland Metro area. It turns out there are 4.2M people in this state and they have only tested 1.8% of the population. I hate to say recipe for disaster but we are heading that way. I do want to go walk on the beach, far away from anyone else, but I suspect that won't be the case this weekend. The traffic has steadily increased and we are getting close to normal, which is bad since we have some major gridlock in most areas.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Edited to say I want to go to Dave and Busters, to see a movie-mostly just the popcorn...Tired of these walls closing in. One of my coworkers said that his walls are talking to him. I get it.

Added photo of my lupine, last year I had it temporarily in a pot and I was going to transplant it. It's roots went through the bottom of the pot and I haven't had the heart to try and move it again. The background is my strawberries that are in dire need of weeding. Why is it that weeds seem to grow at an exponential rate compared to actual plants?

G'morning everybody!

I'm surprised you can actually workout when those cuties are around or using the treadmill as their resting place!

Yay! It's Friday! Not that it's any different from any other day. Today is the reopening of some stores and of all people, DS was called back to work. He and I kinda looked at each other surprised when he got the call. It's a surfing/skating store, how essential can it be? I can't imagine many people think "oooh, I can go shopping, first place I stop is the skating store!" I guess we shall see.

QOTD: I'm like Jen, absorbing accents where I go. I remember when I lived in Venice for two years, going back home people were making fun of the way I was talking, because in Tuscany we feel we are the birthplace of Italian language and any other accent but the Tuscan one is just sacrilege! My Engli****hink, has a slight foreign accent but you won't hear it right away. The first year I was in US I went to a 3 months accent reduction class and I think it paid off.

Julia - I love the Bostonian accent. When I was going to BU, I worked at an Italian restaurant (no longer there, in Cambridge called La Groceria). One of the waitresses was born and raised in Boston. I never got tired hearing her talk. I would ask her questions on purpose to hear her accent and her missing Rs.

Accountability: yesterday was detox from the previous day.

My meals yesterday:

• B: protein coffee
• L: PP shake
• S: hb egg
• D: skipped
• E: 25 minutes cardio + 45 minutes strength training

Happy Friday!

My pics are from last Sun on Mother's Day. I hate selfies, DS was trying to teach me what angle and how far to keep the phone and DH took our pic.

Love your photos.

My nieces take such good selfies I swear they have go-go gadget arms. Ha.
