What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Good morning all and Happy Friday,

It's going to be a great day; better believe it!

On Sunday, my club is having a BBQ and hosting the Bears Game in our backyard. I just reread that and we will not be having 120x 300lb men in the yard. We'll have a flat screen under a huge canopy. I'm helping organize and prepare. RN I have 30lbs burgers & bats, 5lb potato salad, and 5 gallons of ice cream in my back seat. We're expecting 100ppl. I love it when a plan comes together. Yay for football.

QOTD - I walked to school until High School, then took I took the bus. However, there was a couple years in grade school that a friend's mom joined us. She would play the guitar while driving her minivan. Nothing unsafe about that.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.

L: turkey sausage, onions.

D: Rotisserie Chicken, mushrooms & asparagus.

Accountability: Ham and Cheese croissant.

Pic 2 - Bear Down, Chicago Bears!

That is a killer picture. The Chicago skyline is always one of my favs.

I have relatives who live in Venezuela and they own a flower farm. There are hillsides with acres and acres of beautiful flowers. Each field a different color. Reds, yellows, oranges, purples, pinks as far as you can see. Their weather is beautiful year round and everyday they create bouquets and take them to sell at florist shops in the towns.

Today is a religious holiday and they sent me a picture of an arrangement that they made today. I forget sometimes that people in the world live very different lives and find happiness in different ways than in the US.

Gorgeous!

Welcome to the start of the Weekend-

Is it the cone that is fried dough or is the fried dough in the ice cream itself? That is great news about the mentoring and happy to hear you had fun with the improv class. QJB has a full weekend in front of her. Sounds like fun.

Not much planned for the weekend, just the usual workouts, dinner out on Saturday, meal prep for the week. although it is a short week as I am heading to the OH Conference on Thursday. I am excited to meet a few of you face to face!

QOTD: Grade school we walked to school since we were only a few blocks from the school. Junior High we took the bus. In High School we drove our own car (my mom's station wagon with the fake wood paneling).

Accountability: a few extra pieces of sf chocolate.

usual meals

E: weights, yoga

Have a great weekend everyone.

Good morning!

It's a beautiful day here. I guess I just couldn't stand the upstairs guest suite to be all perfect and shiny. I volunteered to pick up the grands from school and have them spend the night. I'm going to run a few errands before I pick them up. Easy day. I have no "scheduled" exercise today. My knee is sore from yesterday's walk and PT. But I might take the girls to the park and walk hard while they play. Maybe. Maybe not. At any rate, we'll be walking into the village for dinner. Girls choice. Any place BUT the Chinese buffet. MP does not eat buffet food unless there are zero other options. The girls however love it. So only Papa goes to dinner with them if it's the buffet. Blech.

QoTD: bussed, driven, walked, rode bikes.

Menu today...

B: Costco chicken bites and cottage cheese

L: leftover taco meat and 1/2 bag of Quest chips I did not eat last night

D: TBD!

Peace Everybody!

Take care of that knee.

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

I have just been so busy with little desire to post here. I am struggling with exercise but plan to do a hitt class tomorrow. I need to get back to 158 by Friday so I can say I went a year holding my weight steady. I need to do Mom duty tomorrow and get the pool closed this weekend. That will take a little bit of commitment off my plate, but I still have to campaign for my brother. I cannot wait till this election is over in November.

QOTDS: Never had a bus but someone drove me till grade 10 then dad bought me a car so he didn't have to do it anymore.

Accountability: Sucked. I got home power was out. Had pork belly and beet salad and also had an Angles Envy old fashion. Then I ate of ton of cashews I did not need. I also remeber M&M's around 3 yesterday afternoon. Hopefully today is a better day.

TSS: 5 years 8-month 28-days 161.4 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee mate chocolate Caramel

MS: Friendly Farms vanilla Greek Yogurt, berries.

CB: Coffee with SF chocolate caramel

L: left over beet salad and pork belly, garbanzo cucumber salad, snack selects

Chrissy
