What's on your Tuesday Menu, everyone?
There are hard truths contained in this meme, let me tell you!
Hope everyone's monday was excellent and we're all ready for a terrific Tuesday!
I have an early start at work today, way too many meetings and then a busy after work with a trip to the library, my rescheduled session with my trainer from Saturday, and a virtual event this evening with a band that I support, plus I would like to cut the front lawn too. I'll try to squeeze it in!
QOTD - for those of you that have a regular exercise routine are you a "morning", "night" or "when I can squeeze it in". I have become one of those "I know everything is better if I get a workout in" so have switched from being a must work out in the mornings to when I can squeeze it in, although I really prefer long cardio like the elliptical or rower in the morning. As soon as I finish this post, I am going to jump on the elliptical for a walk on the Milford Track in New Zealand while also watching Grantchester. Multi-tasking, yay!
Menu today:
coffee plus half and half X2
PB toast
lunch tbd - something from the freezer that is easy I suspect or maybe some protein oatmeal
dinner - left over chicken breast in a half pita
snack - veggies and tatziki
snack - blackberries with no added sugar reddi whip
Have a great day everyone

Good mornin Jen and thanks for getting us started.
It's going to be a long day here. Not a lot of sleep and lots of pain. The kids have gifted and talented summer camps this week so we'll have to pick them up at noon and we'll only have em for 3 hours today and 4 tomorrow. I have an appointment with my psychologist later this morning. I've already done a quick kitchen cleaning...the dishes and found a card to make for my mom's B-Day on the 25th
I have to find a new psychiatrist and I'm so not happy about it. My current one is leaving the practice and is there through video chat anyway. It wasn't my favorite way to do things but I liked her. I'll see who the clinic puts me with but if it's a certain doctor I've seen before I'll be switching to an independent doctor. I hate this kind of change!
QOTD: usually get it done when you can.
B: overnight oats and coffee x2
L: JUST egg cup and a PP shake
D: probably 4 GF chicken and maybe Brussels sprouts
S: L&F yogurt and a gf waffle
have a good one everyone!

These were on my FB memories...the quality was kind of zapped but it's still pretty.

QOTD. Excercise right after work. I hate mornings and too late impacts sleep.
Today I have a minor eye surgery. I have been looking forward to this, it will remove the cloud over my left eye. If I could just get rid of the floaters!
breakfast Fresh strawberries. They were a buck a pound at the store, so I bought 3! Lunch : strawberries lol. Dinner: salmon and mango salsa. I have a large mango tree and there are lots of those now.
Snack: strawberries!
My strawberry plants have been producing nicely, so I am not having to purchase strawberries in the last couple of weeks but $1/pound is a steal!

Good morning ~ That face, I can see them all now... I had a great Monday and today will be too. I have to get ready for some upcoming projects and I like to be prepared. Otherwise, I have some errands to run, but that is all. I should finally finish Where the Crawdads Sing today. I really like this book, it reminds me of something I've read or heard before - or something similar... I am starting a Gentleman in Moscow (again, fingers crossed) after that.
QOTD - I used to work out after work on weekdays. I loved that fatigue and that glorious sleep! But unless I'm in pure robot mode, I can always find an excuse not to do it after work. The no brainer for me is first thing, 4:30 am.... this is day 2 of my current 'streak'. On the weekends I like to do something active in the morning- We walk the dogs at the park, but also hike or golf. Pickleball has to wait for me to get some weight off.
Accountability - Angel
B-coffee, HB eggs, avocado

E- day 2 of IFIT July Challenge hikes
Have a great day!
