Yay! It's (photo) Friday, what's on your menu?
Mornin' All!
I have to take my mother to a doctor's appt later this morning - then I'm meeting up with a former co-worker who wants to borrow my electrical adapter because she's going to Italy next week. These aren't that expensive - not sure why she just can't buy one - but whatever. Maybe they don't travel very much so she doesn't think she'll use one again. And as long as she gets it back to me before I head for Scotland, then whatever (this one converts to several systems - not just the EU's). I should probably get a bike ride in today, too, because today will be beautiful again - and they're calling for rain the next several days.
Today is my seven-year surgiversary! Unfortunately, I'm a bloated mess this morning (not sure what's going on), so my weight is up. Crap. But seven years. Hard to believe it's been that long. And hard to believe I was once as heavy as I was. I've gotten very used to my new life and body..
QOTD: lunges and squats. But I force myself to do them while I'm brushing my teeth (what else are you going to do for the two minutes the dentist tells you to brush for?).
B: I may just drink a protein shake since I'm feeling so bloated at the moment. Coffee with half & half.
MS: plain skyr with strawberry/rhubarb compote
L: cottage cheese with mandarin oranges (?)
AS: protein muffin
D: Caprese salad (again....)
this is me two years to the day after my surgery (6/3/2017). Although I loved being thin, I must admit I looked pretty awful. I hate the fact that I've gained weight since then, but honestly, I think I look a lot better now. Although I'd still love to lose about 10 lbs...

So I walk by this house and they planted these marigolds and stuck a no eyed gnome in the middle. It bothered me every morning as I walked by that he could not see me and he could not enjoy the flowers he was overseeing. OK so maybe I got a googly eye and gave him sight. It has been there for over a week. No I do not know this neighbor and they do not have a ring. So they either like it our have not noticed but now he can wink at me every morning.
And here is some rays of sunshine coming through the trees and fog this morning that I found beautiful.
