What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Good morning JB and Menu folks!
Great meme ( I recently posted this meme, I make that face to my family when I am wrong, LOL...and we always laugh like hell about it and I add, well there is a first time for everything)
JB and Grim - while I do not enjoy the traffic, I love the Boston region. My brother lives in Plymouth ( He changed jobs this year JB, moved from Pembroke HS to Plymouth South) and I just love that you are so close to lighthouses, the ocean and I find the seafood is second to none. I often wonder if I would get tired of fresh seafood. I have wondered if there are any places where you can buy off the boat fresh fish???
I want to Thank you all for the support yesterday, I was prescribed Mounjaro. My Dr was very receptive and feels that this may be the jumpstart that I seem to need. I am excited and nervous, we leave for vacation on 10/15 and spend a week at my folks and then on a cruise. I plan on first does tomorrow.
QOTD - Prom was OK, my GF at the time was a real piece of work, I'll use an old song by the Northern Pikes " She ain't pretty she just looks that way", the only thing I miss about HS is my Hockey Teammates!
B - Premier Protein
L - salami and cheese
S - protein shake

I think it will be a challenge, but, I think if I can eliminate the grazing and sweets.....I should still be able to eat low carb and be happy. I will have to stay away from booze...on the cruise......

I heard these medications shut down the convo you have in your head about food. Don't know about you but I'm always convincing myself of not eating a certain food or not eat the whole plate. They say with the medication your food obsession goes away and you are practically a normie. So you never know, you might enjoy the cruise without all the food chatter in your head.

I did not realize that about the medications, I have not done much research. I will have to read up on Mounjaro this evening. I think you are right, if the food noise goes away, I will enjoy success on the cruise as there are plenty of healthy options...
