What's on your Tuesday Menu?
Good morning, everybody!
My COVID-19 test came back negative. I wasn't surprised, I really didn't feel anything, and probably didn't meet the minimum contact standards required for a test. Plus, my friend had a mask on for even the time I did see him. Nevertheless, I am still glad that I got the test and received to be negative. I need to quarantine for two more days. I guess some people don't develop the virus until two weeks after contact, so I am following that.
Good luck today, Melody!
Belated 5 year surgiversary congratulations to JB!
QOTD: Looks like I am in the minority here, but I am a drizzler.
Breakfast: Protein bar
Lunch: bratwurst
Snack:nuts
Dinner: TBD
Have a great day, all!

It's not nice to brag...lol. I have an appt scheduled next week but as of right now saloons can't be open, there is discussion to have the ability to do it outdoors but I am not sure with 95+ temps if my saloon will be "open".

Mornin' All!
I'm feeling very stressed this morning (as in I can feel it physically), so I'm going to have to get out and exercise. I really feel like I need to get back to weights. I stopped about two weeks ago because the virus picked up around here - although maybe if I go to the other branch of my gym (across town - which is bigger - with the machines more spread out) and go mid-morning when there may only be a couple other people in the weight room - and wear my mask, of course (which is required anyway), I'll be OK. Ugh. I could probably get out on my bike as well - but for some reason, I'm not feeling it this morning.
I've been excited about trying this new root beer-flavored Unjury protein that the newbies on my clinic's FB page have been chatting about. I didn't want to order four canisters of it to get the free shipping (what if I hate it? Plus I have enough protein powder in my cupboards to outfit an entire class of new post-ops for probably a month!), but one of the women said she bought too many canisters and would be glad to sell me one. So I'm going to get it at lunch time. I'm so excited to try making a root beer "float" out of it (I may even try adding a scoop of Halo Top vanilla to it sometime to make a more realistic float - some day when I can work it into my eating plan). For now I'll put unsweetened almond milk, a little vanilla, and ice in it - and whip it up in the blender. Why I'm so excited about this, I have no idea - but I've been fantasizing about it for DAYS!
accountability was good yesterday - weight back down again to what appears to be my current "set point" (unfortunately a bit higher than I'd like), but after a few days of it being up a couple of pounds, I was happy to see it back down again.
QOTD: I don't like ketchup squirted directly on my fries - too messy to eat. But I'll squirt it directly on "burgers" (well, vegan burgers anyway - I don't eat ground beef)
TSS: 5+ y
B: piece of lime-flavored yogurt pie with light Cool Whip, coffee with half & half
MS: Fit Frappe
L: 1-2 Costco chicken skewers with 1/2 C of either bean salad or Asian-style cole slaw
AS: root beer protein shake (I never have two protein shakes in a day, but today I'll make an exception..)
D: elote-style corn-on-the-cob, grilled peach with Greek yogurt
have a great day, everyone!
Good Morning JB and Menuers,
It's actually nice to be back after a 4 day weekend. I have not been keeping up on OH so I hope all is well and I did not miss anything juicy.
We had our family reunion this weekend that usually get upwards of about 100 people and our total count was 21. So no problems with the social distaining, But I will admit and I am sorry but I had to hold my cousins baby. I know it's a new world but it's a baby I had too. I don't even like kids but he was so cute and kept eye balling me and smiling. I could not help myself.
I had a follow up with the guys that did my hernia surgery yesterday. I had two surgeon do the work the first is a trauma surgeon he Put my guts back in and sewed every muscle back together so I did not need mesh. The second was the plastics guy who cut off the excess skin and gave me a flat stomach. I always bake them goodies and take them treats when I go in there. They say I am doing great but should continue to follow up once a year just to be safe. I asked is the follow up so you get baked goods or do you really need me to get a check up? I think it was the cookies because as I was leavening he was in his office and he and his staff were plowing into the cookie tray I brought.
QOTD: I put it on the fries. I am sorry. But I have not had fries in sooo long It is a moot point at this stage of my life. I do squeeze sugar free on top my meatloaf though.
Accountability: I dug into a tub of RGF ice-cream. It is low in carbs and I had about 1/3 cup. So not bad.
