What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Good morning, everybody!

I must be honest, I still have not caught up on last week's posts. Hopefully, I can do so today. This isn't a particularly busy time of the year at work so I don't have that excuse. But the days just fill up one day at a time.

When we were in Oregon, we drank this wine called Flaneur, and what it referred to was taking life at the pace of a turtle so that you can notice everything around you. Marilyn said that would actually be an acceleration of pace from me from where I am now and she was worried that I would slow from turtle to snail. So maybe that's why I am not caught up yet.

This didn't get much news coverage, but Toots Hibbert died a couple of weeks ago. If you don't know who that is google "Pomp and Pride" and dance around your living room for 5 minutes. It should make you smile.

QOTD: The opening chords of China Cat Sunflower.

Breakfast: Turkey meatballs and cottage cheese

Snack: protein bar

Lunch: hamburger

Dinner: TBD

Have a great day, all!

OK way to much to google from your post Jim. But I see why you like China Cat and I did smile at Pomp and Pride. Thank you. Sorry I am not familiar with the Grateful dead I'm the right age but never was a big fan.

Hope it brought you back to the beach for a few minutes.

Toots and the maytals! I'm not a huge reggae fan but can sing along to a few of theirs.

Well Friday's meme was dedicated to you, so I hope you get a smile when you are caught up!

Good Morning JB and Menuers,

Yesterday was a really quiet day at work It's about time!!!!!

I have never been to the Cheesecake factory so I do not know what there menu looks like. Plus everyone says my cheesecakes are way better. With that said I did an Aldi run this morning because I hear there is a shortage on pumpkin this year so I grabbed 10 cans so I can have enough for cheesecakes this season. While I was there I got a happy find. DH has always asked about Venous Fly Traps and they had a special buy on them for $4.99 so I will surprise him tonight when I get home.

QOTD: Since surgery every time I get on the scale.

Accountability: I did good only 2 dates with peanut butter and Lilly's chocolate chips.

TSS: 2 years 9 Months and 26 days 132.2 (lowest 130.8)

CB: Dark roast coffee with SF ID Pumpkin Spice w/Miralax and Fiber

MS: Oikos Triple Zero Blueberry and a Berry mix

CB2: Dark roast coffee with SF ID Pumpkin spice

L: Cilantro Lime Chicken and Snack select

D: Leftover something my fridge is full, Probably Zucchini Pizza bites and a Mississippi Pot roast.

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 great. 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 (Done)

Everybody have a Great day.

Brightest Blessings

I have a vague memory of planting a Venus Fly Trap in the yard when my son was small. About 40 years ago. I can't remember anything else about it. It probably died the first year. I would love to have one again. Are you keeping it indoors or outdoors?

It's Pittsburgh most everything has to come in doors for the winter or it has to be cut back so nothing is above ground. I have not read much about nurturing it yet so it's up in the air of what he will do with it. He loves little projects like this give him something to do.

It should give him something to do. I think you have to feed it raw hamburger if there are no flies for it to catch.

G'morning everybody!

Oh wow, I miss Cheesecake Factory! Haven't been there, I think, since WLS.

Have you guys heard of this mirror workout? Do you have it or know somebody who has it? I'm considering it but not sure yet. My gym closed down back in March and hasn't opened yet, but I'm still paying $30 a month to be an inactive member because of the hefty initiation fee. This mirror subscription, aside from the initial purchase price, is about $40 a month. Is it worth it? Something else to consider is that I am still using my trainer remotely. She sends me weekly routines with videos if I need more explanation. So should I just cancel the membership and stick with my trainer or cancel membership, get the mirror and keep trainer. I don't wanna get rid of my trainer, she has been through thick and thin with me for the last 10 years.

Food item find: have you tried the folio cheese wrap? I finally found the Parmesan one. It's good but IMO not worth the 180 cals. My lunch yesterday ended up being 446 cals because of the wrap. Good thing there are only 4 of them in there. I prefer my jicama wraps better.

QOTD: I guess it's a trend with pets. My Luna always makes me smile. She is cuddly, loyal and so smart. When we are on our walks the way she runs to me with her hair flying away from her makes me smile big.

My meals yesterday:

• B: coffee + barebells bar (my absolute favorite bar)
• L: folio cheese wrap + pulled pork
• S:fage yogurt + 30 dark choc chips
• D:taco Tuesday with jicama wrap for taco shells
• E: 4.5 miles jog

Happy hump day, everybody.
