What's on your Monday Menu?

We always pay for the extra spot when we tailgate. But that is one way to get around it.

Barbie terminal is cute! Safe travels.

Good Morning and back to reality for me after a fabulous long weekend. Sorry for the lack of sleep, I hope you are able to nap a bit today and I hope the phone interview goes well and that you're able to get a feel for the opportunity. I will upload and post some pics later this week. I thoroughly enjoyed the time with Em, even with a little lack of sleep we were able to open and close Disneyland and walk over 30,000 steps!

Mornin' All!

I had a nice weekend, but too much eating. Not a big binge blow-out kind of thing, but "eating events" every day that put me over on calories. I have two such events this week (a Halloween party Tuesday night, and a luncheon on Thursday), so I need to be really mindful and low-cal on the other days. But...this is life.

QOTD: we quit doing Halloween a few years ago. We haven't had kids on our block in several years (most of us are now retired), and evidently there aren't many on surrounding blocks, either. It didn't make sense to buy candy when we only got like ten trick-or-treaters, tops - so we're party poopers. So anyway - no, we don't have candy.

coffee with 2% milk (we're out of half & half)

skyr with fruit compote

hummus sandwich

yogurt

not sure what to have for dinner. I still have a half pita stuffed with egg and cheese in my freezer, so maybe that

ex: I have class at 4:00, so I'll get off the bus a few stops before the one on campus and walk the rest of the way

have a great day, everyone!

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

Congratulations on the pre interview. I hope it is a job you are interested in and not just one you through your hat in the ring for ****s and giggles.

Was that a weekend that just whizzed by? Wow I don't think I can wait 5 days for the next one. UGH!!! I got a hair appointment tonight, so I won't see home till around 8. I really could go to getting in bed a little early but doesn't look like that will happen any time soon. It is cold wet and rainy. Rudy is not a fan I had to drag him pout the house to walk this morning. They are asking us to dress for Halloween tomorrow, so I am taking advantage of it and putting on all my Aldi gear and coming as an Aldi insider. That is one way to wear sweatpants to work.

QOTD: My Brother dropped off about 60 bags of plain M&M's. I usually like to have a variety but seeing the cost of candy and these being free I am sticking to it.

Accountability: Terrible. Grazed all weekends never sat down to a real meal.

TSS: 5 years 10-months 19-days 162 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF coffee mate chocolate caramel creamer

MS: L&F apple pie Greek Yogurt and berries,

CB: Coffee with SF coffee mate chocolate caramel creamer

L: White chicken chili and snack select

D: burger with blue cheese and bacon

Exercise: Dog walking.

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 week my friends.

Brightest Blessings,

Chrissy

Photo op at the winery yesterday for my brother's campaign event.

60 bags of M&Ms? My lights would be off and I'd be sitting in the dark, surrounded by wrappers.

an Aldi insider - that's a great one!

Good morning all and Happy Monday,

WINTER IS COMING! It's in the 30s this morning and a bit crisp. It's enjoyable for the first week of the year.

The weekend was wonderful. Old friends, new friends, and randos parsed throughout. I dressed in a dog mask for Halloween. Pic Friday to follow.

QOTD- I bought all the Halloween candy already and didn't bring anything in my house! I've given away everything I've bought to this point. I won't be buying anymore until November 1.

Accountability success: 2 chicken wings, 2 Milky Way minis and a cherry coke. It's a success cause there was SO MUCH FOOD at Saturday night's Halloween Party.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt.

L: Carnitas Taco in a bowl.

D: Chicken caprese. Roasted brussel sprouts.

QOTD- My roommate picked up candy last night, not gonna open it until Halloween.

Finally got the decorating done, it looks great I'll get some pics and post them on Friday. The only thing left to do is get the 4 black lights mounted and plugged in. Last year we didn't get very many kids. I wish I were a costume person, I'd like to wear something for this year.

Good football weekend for me. Both my teams won, although the Seahawks tried to give me a heart attack. I loved the throwback uniforms, I have a signed helmet from that era.

I have an appointment with my counselor today, I've needed one for a long time. Hopefully she can help me with some of the issues that I'm having.

I need to get to work.

Have a great day everyone!

I hope the counselor session is a good one. My penguin onesie will be my costume again this year, I can sneak a hoodie underneath it for handing out the candy
