What's on your Wednesday Menu?

LOL! Mostly Irish (so am I), retired, 6 months older than me, worked as a CFO for several companies prior to retirement in his late 50's. An hour away on Cape Cod - 2.5 in Florida. Really nice hazel eyes and good smile. Smart, confident, modest, humorous. White hair a bit receded but still has a lot of it. Three kids and 2 grandchildren he is very close to. Seems to like most of the same things I do (being outdoors, the beach, traveling). And I think he liked me a lot too. So far so good!

Keeping fingers and toes crossed. Sounds really good, and hazel eyes are a plus. The physical distance nowadays is not a big deal. Keep us posted.
I wanna keep track of hazel eyes guy in my head, so his name will be HZ!

Age? Weight? Occupation? Marital status? Come on Liz don't leave us hanging. We are on a need to know basis here. Beside who we gonna tell.

You guys are tough! 6 months older than me so 65. Retired for 7 years. Divorced for 15 years. A bit overweight but not much.

Yay for a great date! So glad for you, he sounds like a good match. Yay!

Yay for a great lunch date!

I made it to post today- yay!

QOTd: smell test. don't usually care about date. its a general guideline to me....

Mornin' All -

felt kind of crappy last night and this morning (G/I). Crampy and just generally blah. Not hungry at all this morning. I had more-than-the-usual amount of fiber and artificial sweetener yesterday (in both cases, trying to ward off overeating), so I suspect one of those. Or both. I'm going to have to take it easy today (eating-wise). As in few calories, and things that don't typically cause G/I issues.

I have online Mah Jongg at 10:00, and then a friend and I are going to bike to some restaurant for a late lunch. I'll have to suggest one that has easy-on-the-stomach appetizers. Not only due to my current issues, but I only have a small under-the-seat bag on my bike, so there's no way to schlep a to-go box home.

QOTD: I eat a lot of things with expired dates. I'm more careful with perishable items - milk, for example, usually doesn't last more than a handful of days after its expiration date (if that) - but even some perishable items can last well beyond that. I've eaten eggs and yogurt (although not homemade yogurt) even a month after the date. Dry goods can last for weeks or months - they legally have to put an expiration date on food items - but some things really do last for months. So yes - if it still smells and looks OK, I'll eat it.

TSS: 5 y 2 m

B: maybe just a protein shake

MS: if anything, just a protein shake or bar

L: some kind of appetizer (i don't know where we're going yet)

AS: I'm guessing I'll feel better by then - so maybe a L&F yogurt or piece of yogurt pie

D: I was going to have what I'd originally planned to eat last night (1 Costco chicken skewer, ear of corn (elote style), and a small salad with light dressing), but it depends on my gut situation. The corn and salad, especially, might not work...

at least my weight is down this morning! Nice surprise - and not expected after yesterday!!

have a great day, everyone!!

I hope you feel better.

thanks --- I do at this point!! (it's afternoon...)
