What's on your Monday Menu?

holy cow - and I thought Cheese Factory was bad. How on earth can a piece of cake have that many calories? It must be HUGE!!

I found this picture on line with a purse for size comparisons!

OMG - I could probably only eat one of those six layers. That thing could feed an entire family!

It definitely was passed around the table.

Mornin' All! (it's still morning here in Wisconsin - at least for the next 28 minutes...)

My online Mah Jongg game was early this morning because one of the people had a 10:00 am doctor's appt. After that i made a couple of phone calls that I've been needing to make, and did an exercise video, and ate breakfast. And of course checked email and FB...but...here I am - finally!

I have my weight loss support group from 1-3 this afternoon. It was my birthday weekend, too, so it wasn't pretty. I wouldn't go so far as to say I went right off the rails, but...it wasn't good. DH will be eating the rest of the tres leches cake. I loved it, but I can't eat any more of it. So it's in the back of the basement fridge were I can't see it. But anyway, not a good weekend for being in the middle of this month-long weight loss support series.

I requested to enroll in two online classes for the fall (slim pickin's as far as online choices go - although I suspect some in-person ones will end up moving online if the virus surge continues. But I thought I'd better sign up for online ones from the get-go just in case. I don't particularly want to sit shoulder-to-shoulder in a large lecture hall for 1.5 hours (or more) at a pop this fall. Anyway, one's a geography class and the other's an intro to architectural design class that's for non-majors, so I'm guessing it'll be more studying various types of buildings rather than doing all the technical stuff. At least I hope so.

QOTD: I've connected with a few old friends from the various places that we lived while I was growing up - all on FB. I ran into a few in person when I went back to Ohio for a friend's funeral a couple of years ago Another friend, now living in Alabama, I met up with when he was at a conference in Chicago. But a surprising number have died. Although I guess I'm getting into the right age range for that - people are getting cancer, having heart attacks, etc. I suppose that'll be more and more the case the older I get :-(

B: protein smoothie (blended with ice, kale, and frozen strawberries). Coffee with half & half.

MS: miso/chickpea sandwich with tomato and cucumber slices (ate this 45 minutes ago and I'm hungry again. Sheesh...I guess I'll go get some L&F or a peach when I get off here...)

L: this will probably be during my support group session - so maybe a protein bar

AS: Greek yogurt with 1/2 mango

D: saag paneer

have a great day, everyone!

Belated happy birthday!

thanks!!!

I still go to my high school reunions and meet lots of people there. There is a group of about 20 of us from grade school and high school who used to go to lunch about once a month before the pandemic. Of course we do keep in touch on Facebook.

JB, I am glad your birthday was wonderful. Last week ended up being a great week for you. Summer is going to be over in another four weeks and I will have to have a new routine. I spent this summer in the pool as much as possible. I do love autumn in Ohio.

For the last five or so years, I have allowed myself an eating season from Halloween until New Years where I ate whatever, gained ten pounds, and dieted from New Year's Day until May. This year, I plan to skip the holiday eating and do more exercise instead. I hope I stick to it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

You?ll be able to stick to whatever you put your mind to!

You are right. I just have to make a plan and then follow through with it. I am always saying that the difference between a wish and a goal is that a goal has a date attached to it.
