What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

I'm Such a Doofus ! After all these years I STILL can't figure out how to post ( small, reasonably sized ) photos into posts on here ...

Arrived in Florida ( driving down most of the country) last nite... dealt with non-eating non-drinking Parents' kitty "emergency": ( tuna fish ! juice and meat worked Just Fine lol)

Road food was better than usual- had a few bites of tempting fast food and ( luckily fat free ) Jelly Belly candy and sugar free gum ...

but mostly stuck to self-made fat free fresh green bean /mushroom bake,

air popped popcorn w my usual mix ins,

Japanese curry chicken katsu w rice

,and only broke out the dark chocolate to b able to keep driving the last few hours ( Florida is ENDLESSLY long isn't it ? )

Was excited to start rollerblading and/or/swimming and beach walking ( I usually work out here 2 or 2 1/2 hours right after waking up ) ( I really ENJOY " letting the brakes off " speed skating and swimming ... I grew up doing multiple hour two-a-day workouts ( and my Parents were and remain also athletes )so its kind of in my genes ... but its rainy season in Florida and woke up to pouring rain n thunder .

This month in Florida I plan to start doing the things that DON'T come naturally- upper body workouts including pushups and backwards wall pushups, ab work ( GOSH I HATE that ... but LOVE the results ! ) , even side-muffin and waist work which I hate even WORSE if that's even possible.

Yes I have a spoiled ( and older than dirt ) inner CHILD !!

Today my plans include detailing the apartment and terraces so extremely critical Parents can come to stay for a few days (OH NO !!! because ... get this ... they forgot to apply Frontline to their cat and she got fleas ( her lack of appetite is from the strong flea medicine the emergency vet gave her ...) and now I need to bomb their (immaculate ! spotless ! organized to the last sock drawer ) beautiful apartment for FLEAS !!!

My ankles got bit the heck out of yesterday and I actually showered and ran out of there leaving my clothes so I didn't bring any fleas back with me ...

Thank God I cleaned the apartment (for two days! It was That disorganized ) ( a first ) before I left ... another miracle thanks to not drinking. I did have a flash of " a beer would taste so good when I arrive " the last few hours but I played the tape back... the miserable place that first beer would eventually take me .. and made a zoom meeting ( they're great to drive with) and wasn't tempted at all when I actually arrived .

Todays food - chai tea SF latte

B- Large Egg Beaters, butter buds and ff milk omelet w fat free American cheese , fresh salsa

workout- cleaning ! wheeling 400 lb pots outside pruning, laying down outdoor rugs and outdoor furniture , fertilizing for more flowers . Organizing, mopping and vacuuming.

Hungarian Fish soup ? Air fried Shrimp to share with my Dad ( Mom doesn't eat seafood) ... salad ...perhaps a piece of Whole Foods pizza for dinner .

Please wish me luck with this overnight - maybe two day visit - only the second time I can EVER remember their sleeping over a residence of mine. I expect drawer searches, invasion of my private papers ... constant criticism... and food and alcohol cravings trying to cope ...

and growling and maybe catfights ( they're Mother and Daughter but after so many months living apart they may not recognize each other ..)

Oy Vey ...

What part of Florida, I lived in Miami for years and have an office near clearwater.

I didn't have much brain left to be creative so my before/during or after is me weight loss journey. Sorry, I'm sure most of you have already seen these pics.

Love this picture! You're kicking butt as usual!

Thank you!

Always love seeing WL journey pics!

Thank you!!

You are always my inspiration.
Truth be told, you are in my head while jogging. When I get tired and wanna stop at a lesser distance than my goal, I keep thinking of you and telling myself "Kelly would keep going!" I hate you while I'm jogging and talking to you, but at the end of the run I'm always happy you pushed me!

You just brought tears to my eyes!!
