What's on your Thursday Menu?

hi- no i got the ninja IQ not the creami. Its about $200 cheaper lol

Good morning all and Happy Thursday,

We're almost to the weekend, just a final push remaining. I'm currently at my friend's and I'm supervising car repairs aka shooting the ****

QOTD- Nothing. I'm leaving this world as I came in. Maybe a picture of my family if I need to choose.

Accountability: 3 two bite cupcakes = 300 calories!!! Didn't read the label - thought how bad could they really be in just 2 bites? That bad.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.

L: Rotisserie Chicken, avocado, onions.

D: Maybe a steak & shrooms.

I made the same mistake with a granola (advertised as super healthy) bar. We were at REI and I was looking in the food section. Saw a new bar and looked at the nut info. 160 cals, 16 gr of carb, and I was like wow, this is not that bad. I can use it on our hikes. Obviously I had to try it before buying a whole bunch. When I went to log it into MFP I realized the values were for just HALF the bar. I was so pissed. Half the bar was literally 1.5 bite. How dare they not put the full value on a tiny bar like that? So that tiny bar was 320 cals with 32 gr of carb. I was fuming.

They changed the law a few years back, and they are definitely not supposed to use nutrition information for half a bar, half a can of soda, or anything like that.

I get the nutrition action newsletter (ie, the food police) and they said that if you really read the detail on those Crumbl cookies that are everywhere, each cookie is 6 servings so the per serving calories are like a Big Mac. It's crazy, right? They may have made your cupcakes.

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

Glad to hear you had a nice time with the family. The cooler weather is probably a bonus for the cookie class. People won't mind being inside. I hate inside events on my day off and I can be using the pool.

One of the girls at work reminded me of my age today. Her youngest is on her last day of grade school and it i****ting her hard. It is crazy how fast kids grow up. The Twins will already be 3 in August.

I got nothing going on today. The weather here has been in the High 80's and do not see it changing any time soon. Are next shot at rain will not be till next Thursday. Hoping to use the pool a lot this weekend.

QOTD: My Kitchen Aid Mixer. When I grew up all my aunts would pitch in and get the bride to be a kitchen Aid mixer for their wedding shower. One day I was being a drama queen and dad asked what the matter was. I was 30 and said I am never going to get my Kitchen -Aid. I'm never going to find anyone to marry me. That Christmas he bought it for me. I cried again. He said what is the matter now. I said you think no one will marry me either. It is my most cherished possession. Every holiday after I got a new attachment, so I have a complete Kitchen Aid mixer with every accessory.

Accountability: Grazed dinner

TSS: 5 years 5 month 21 days 163 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee mate Twix creamer

MS: L&F Caramel apple pie Greek Yogurt and Berries

CB: Coffee with SF Twix creamer

L: RGF chicken poblano enchiladas I split it and only ate one yesterday will finish today

D: Mississippi pot roast

Exercise: Dog walking 3.1-mile wog (done)

Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.

Have a great day my friends.

Brightest Blessings,

Chrissy

Love your Kitchen Aid story!

just wait until all your high school and college friends are grandparents. Pretty much all mine are...

That was so sweet of your dad. And looking back, funny that you cried thinking now he believes you won't ever get married. I bet the man thought to himself "I can never win!"

We loved each other dearly but we were always at odds. It was the battle of the stubborn Italians.
