What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

G'morning all!

Quick post and run. All of a sudden busy Friday for a couple of projects.

Weekend plans - maybe a long bike ride. DH proposed a half marathon for next weekend and I laughed and laughed. He has gone cray cray.

QOD - thou shalt not share your kids' struggles on social media without their permission.

Pics are of a house in my neighborhood that has been getting ready for Halloween since Sept 1. I can't imagine how scary this house will be in the dark and all those things lit up. I know from past years the spiders have red glowing eyes. I would be scared as a kid going to this house.

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• Protein smoothie
• Built bar
• Egg rolls in a bowl
• E: weights X 2

Happy Fri-yay!

Please, tell those people to never hook up all their Halloween stuff to AI. That's how the world ends.

I want to trick or treat there

Come on. You want them across the street from you.

So many people seem to have those huge skeletons, looks cool.

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

Sorry about the disappointing news yesterday. Wow those companies really missed out. Sounds like your evening plans will be amazing. Just enjoy your evening and stop stressing. You deserve a bit of a break anyway.

I am going to do most of Mom duty tonight because I have an Italian festival and a picnic tomorrow. I have nothing planned for Sunday yet. I am going to do my HITT class tomorrow even though I have not run in over a week I still want to try to get back to a scheduled exercise. I may just start doing the elliptical for 1/2 hour in the morning. That will be better than not doing anything at all.

QOTD: Thou shall not drive and txt in the fast lane and **** off everybody behind me.

Accountability: I had 2 slices of Keto bread. I needed a toasted tomato sandwich.

SS: 5 years 9-month 1 days 159 Lowest (129.4)

picture Ron took at the wedding last week.

What a pretty wedding photo! The bubbles are better than rice.

Love elliptical! Hope you find your groove. I'm sure Rudy loves the walks with you.

The bride and groom look so happy. For exercise/routine-I think once you get back in the groove you'll see you've missed it.

Good morning all and Happy Friday,

Congratulations are in order to everyone. We've all been working for the weekend and the payoff is here.

Thank you so much for all the support with my surgery roadblocks. It hits me in the heart strings and reinforces what I already knew. This is a great, supportive, tight knit community that cares deeply about one another. We may be here for post WLS support but our gang is so much more than that.

My new knee brace kicks ass. It alleviates most of the knee pain while walking. Peer to peer review of the CT Scan did not help and the CT Scan got denied again. I'm seeing if I can reach a decision maker at the insurance and throwing **** at the wall, hoping something sticks. Otherwise, the state board is my final destination.

I'm sorry that I don't have the time right now to read all the comments or reply much. I would really like to participate throughout the day and hope to in the future.

QOTD- Thou shall embody the human condition and help their fellow man.

L: 3 Air fryer Buffalo wings, green beans.

D: caprese salad, mushroom soup, steak or lamb chops, cauliflower, watermelon.

Pic #2 - D'Amatos, an old School Bakery that still makes sacks of bread to distribute throughout the city. Their neighbor, Bari Foods (Italian grocery store & subs), got into a feud with D'Amatos and stopped using their bread after a half century.

If you can't get them to cover the CT scan, can you convince them to go ahead with the surgery without it?
