What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Morning! We made it to Friday! Thank goodness... What's the plan this weekend? I am going to see my old professor/mentor/dear friend. She lives in Boston but is spending a week on the Cape, so she's going to stop over and see me on the way back. We've been close for almost 25 years now, and I just love her! She hasn't visited me here, yet, so I am excited to host her. I am sure the visit will involve a lot of wine and cheese :)

Ok on to my photos! First up, the gorgeous homemade gift from Sheila! I am so impressed with her talent. THANK YOU!

And this was the shirt I made for myself this week :) I'm a HUUUUGE Dolly fan, and this week when she stood up for BLM, I basically melted with love.

Accountability: Yay for random small pouch days!

QOTD: Did you grow up in a strict household? My parents were religious and had a lot of strict rules, but they were both teachers, so they were good at setting up rules and limits in a way that was fair and kind.

Good morning!! I woke up at 1:17 and could not get back to sleep so I'm up and coffee-ing now. At least there's coffee!

I had hoped to take today off but instead I am working but being invisible, no Skype, no email, only one meeting and maybe I can get the deliverables on my plate completed. I might take next Friday instead, although there are already a couple of meetings.

Saturday my CAH group is doing a backyard BBQ, we won't play CAH (which means I get to keep the trophy!), the yard is set up to keep households 6 feet apart, and it's BYOB/F but it will be nice to get together; we usually do a quarterly game night but last got together in person back in December! Sunday I have a pilates 1:1 training session and then I'm meeting my BFF in castle rock for a walk and catch up, so it's a good weekend for me.

I made it to the grocery store last night so I have a good menu for today.

Coffee + half and half (might be 4 or 5 today, vs my usual 3)

Protein Waffle + 2 tbs peanut butter

Carb master cottage cheese + cheese stick

Everroast deli chicken in a cheddar folio wrap with a pickle

Light and fit greek, frozen

Pix this week are from my photo roll; I've been loading a different travel picture as my zoom background every day, virtual travel is not as much fun as real travel but it will do.

River picture that I took from the back of a horse in Rocky Mountain National Park; a puffin on Grimsey which is a small island just north of the Arctic Circle we visited on my trip to Iceland, and a Tasmanian devil, they don't look anything like you would expect!

Have a fantastic Friday and wonderful weekend!

Puffins! I want to see one in RL someday. Definitely on my bucket list.

You are right. Tasmanian devil doesn't look like what I expected. Almost like a dog.

Great pics!

Great pictures!

Oh, I love the Dolly shirt!!

Good morning everyone and happy Friday!!! Seems like it literally took forever to get here!!! I'm just plumb wore out! JB I love your Dolly shirt! So cute!

Accountability was really good yesterday and I'm FINALLY back down to my exact pre vacation weight! So hopefully I stay on track and continue losing and not stall here forever. It's become such a struggle now to lose. It's like I have to be even more strict than I was before with my calorie intake.

Yesterday the kitten really fought me with taking her medicine. She knew what was coming this time as soon as I put her up on the table and she saw that syringe. She would not hold still for anything! Thank goodness I only have one more dose to go! No plans this weekend. May have brunch with my brother Saturday, but other than that it will be not much going on. Ordered my groceries last night to arrive this afternoon. Fingers crossed I get everything on my list! Got a lot of healthy stuff that I'm excited about! Also just ordered some new protein bars that I'm excited to try! Got the variety pack with 18 different flavors to test them out and see which ones I like best. They have less calories than my current protein bars so fingers crossed I like them! They had really good reviews though and are bariatric friendly.

QOTD: I grew up on a pretty strict household. Mom was strict more so than dad was. He basically just enforced her rules. Lol My brother and I were pretty good kids, but I sometimes wonder if having so many restrictions made us even more devious. We did test the limits quite a few times!

B: coffee w/Splenda x 2

B2: oatmeal and a banana

L: 2 oz low sodium turkey and a hard boiled egg

D: chicken and veggie stir fry

S: L&F Greek yogurt and fruit

First picture is of my new comfy shoes that I love!!! Can't get over how comfy they are! Second picture is of my cat giving me his classic expression of "you expect me to get up and come to you? I can't be bothered right now so take a number." Lol Well looks like the pictures got posted out of order. Figures! Lol

Yay for going back to pre-vacay weight! You got this, keep going!

Now you understand why I approach my cat with the syringe hidden behind my back. If she sees it coming she will run and hide.

I need to know more about those shoes. They look like they would be so soft and comfortable.
