What's on your Thursday Menu?

Ha, this meme really resonates. Late last night we found out that the Teacher's Union lost the emergency court case that they filed to stay remote, so everyone needs to continue to teach in person in the buildings. Can I just say again how glad I am that I am not a principal anymore?

But forget the work stress--I have lots of good news today. First, I got my negative COVID results yesterday afternoon. I guess it's just a nasty cold. Yay (!?). And yesterday I finally had enough energy to swap out my clothes to the fall/winter season, and I decided to do it "Home Edit" style. I know it's not Friday but I have to share my closet pics today. I am so happy! I wish I had taken a before pic, but this would have been a great "how it started, how it's going" pic for Photo Friday. But I do have a few good other ones done already--can't wait to see yours!

Back at the beginning of the lockdown, when meat was in shortage, we bought some extra stuff and stored it in the extra freezers in Grim's empty triple decker. But now that the house is officially on the market, he brought it all home and I have a ton of chicken that is thawing today and needs to be cooked ASAP. Anyone have good Instant Pot Chicken Recipes to share?

QOTD: Back when the world was open, where was your favorite place to "people watch"? I love going to Harvard Square in Cambridge. All kinds of people are in the area--lots of students obviously, but it also attracts old hippies, musicians, artists, business people, commuters, and tourists. Its a cross section of the whole world in one convenient spot, and it's so fun to get a cup of coffee outside and watch the world go by. I miss that.

Food was okay again yesterday. Stuck 100% to the menu, but added a few of those damn Kit Kats, again.

Good morning all! Slept like a baby last night. Had a nasty headache last night so I took one of my migraine pills which helped tremendously and I have a feeling that's what helped me to sleep so well. I'm just left groggy this morning. Accountability was pretty good yesterday. Stuck to plan and didn't go over my calories. Yay! Hopefully I can manage to do it again today.

QOTD: Probably any of the local malls around here. I could sit for hours and jus****ch the people go by. I remember as a kid, my dad, brother and I sitting in the mall people watching while mom shopped. Fun times. Lol

B: coffee w/Splenda & sf creamer x 2

B2: protein shake

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

D: 4 oz boneless skinless chicken breast and veggies

S: L&F Greek yogurt and an apple

hi all

I'm so glad we are nearing the end of the week. looks like we are heading back to GA tomm or sat morning for a week. Then get to come back week after for a dreaded bridge cut down and later that day another root canal as the one 10 years ago wasn't done correctly and they apparently didn't get everything. My mouth and my wallet are so not thrilled.

QOTD: malls were fun, flea markets, thrift stores, people of Walmart...

Food has been good, today and tomm are eat perishables in the fridge days:

eggs, yogurt, chicken, and a shrimp stirfry,

b: coffee/premier , more coffee, water

2 eggs on low carb tortilla

b2: baked apple with pb fit

l: stir fry leftovers

l2: built bar?

d: probably chicken or more stir fry

s: yogurt/oat concoction

Good morning menu friends! Miss Lily and I have our first walk in even though we were wet by the end as it started raining halfway through. We'll get more walks in later if it clears off. I have Kit Kats in the camper now and it's all I can do to stay away. I can relate,JB! Accountability was spot on food and stepwise with 11,154 steps done. Weight is 120.2. QOTD one of the malls in St.Louis. Here's the food plan B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L meat and cheese rollup D 4 oz baked chicken. Have a great day and stay safe everyone! Make your best choices!

So happy for your son by the way!

Good morning folks.

Not feeling all to great this morning. Different day same story. Lots of pain.

I had to share this meme...it's so many of our years.

qotd: I would say Walmart or the thrift store we frequent.

b: oats with PB2 and coffee

That meme cracked me up!

I got some good news, they won the appeal and I'll be having an cortisone injection tomorrow morning. Hoping and praying that it helps!

So happy for you!!
