What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Happy Halloween Eve! We made it to Friday! For me, just barely... Thankfully I don't have any plans this weekend at all, so I am hoping to just lay super low and keep trying to get rid of this cough! As I mentioned yesterday, we will be hiding in the dark on Saturday night and watching movies. Maybe we'll just do that all weekend, haha.
I have a few pics this week! First, I have been forcing myself to really "dress" for work for the last few weeks, even though I am just sitting at home. Its helping to make me feel more normal. I turned 2 pics of this week's outfit into before/afters. I am not at all happy with where my weight is right now, but it's nice to see that there is still a little bit of a loss from my before.
We got Chinese takeout last weekend which as a bad idea, but check out my fortune! Whoo!
QOTD: Imagine that something quirky/unique about you is because you were "cursed". What curse do you think a witch put on you? I feel like I have been cursed to never be able to sleep past 4am! Why!?
Food was good yesterday. I added a glass of wine to my evening but otherwise on track. I didn't meet my exercise goal because of the coughing, but I hope to get a little farther today!
Also, I had to add a pic of the lunch I have been having all week. It's yummy and healthy, but damn it looks gross, lol. I am obsessed with this mustard, though - its a spicy honey dijon with jalapeños!
You look so lovely JB. I do still dress for work most days, with makeup and perfume. It helps things feel normal plus I am on camera every single day. I'm ready for a day of no zooms!
Qotd - I am cursed to have disappearing eyes--when I smile or laugh, they disappear!
I'm trying a new class today, it's the Pilates version of Barre. I'm sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow.
i need to do some shopping today so menu isn't a bit up in the air except for coffee, carbmaster cottage cheese and a protein muffin.
have a wonderful weekend everyone - hope you get lots of relaxing and recharging!
my photo is my new hair, I call it pumpkin spice hair. It's season appropriate!

Beautiful! I love your pumpkin spice hair! That my mom's natural color and I have always been so jealous that I didn't get the red-head gene.
Good luck with the Pilates Barre class. A good friend of mine does that twice a week and it's her fav. She's in amazing shape and that is all she does, if that gives you any inspiration :)
I worked from home long before it was the thing to do. I remember a boss jokingly saying that she wanted to put video cameras on us to see what we looked like during the work day. I will admit that there were times when I worked in pajamas and bed hair. I was working with a branch in Germany and my work day began at 4:00 AM because it was 9:00 AM over them.
I would work a few hours, then when they were having lunch, I would have my shower and breakfast.
The office was just up the road from my house. I made it a point to be ready if my boss ever came to the door and asked me to have lunch or if I got a call to go to an in person meeting. So my hair and makeup were done daily and I was dressed in an outfit that was business casual.
I have worked with a lot of people who were never on camera and they are in the pajamas all day with their hair in a ponytail. I would get depressed.
Now I really do work on camera all day long, so don't start wor****il my hair and makeup is finished. I wear a button down blouse. I do wear yoga pants in winter and shorts in the summer. The camera only shows my head, so I am decided to be more comfortable and not wear dress pants.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
