What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Good morning JB and Menu friends! Another busy day. The buyer that reports to me has 14 working days left in 2023, where does the time go?
Touched base with my oldest son who is camping out for the 1975 concert, weather was warmer last evening and that meant they had to deal with drugged up street folks, he did say that security at the scotia bank center was keeping an eye on things and keeping the drugged up people away as much as they were able. A real eye opener for a small town boy.
Grim are you overdoing it?????

Good morning ~ I listened to Dolly all morning yesterday and she has been in my head ever since. Sweet Music Man and Two Doors Down are currently alternating. Turns out I know a lot more Dolly songs than I thought. I had floods of happy childhood memories for once, it was pretty nice. Yesterday was a good day, I got a lot done. The potluck was nice big turn out and I did fine with no attention drawn to my small plate and slow eating. I could feel the high anxiety from everyone over calories and food choices it was strange out of body like. Everyone making excuses for all they were eating, talking about going to the gym, or not caring on this day, starving from thanksgiving to christmas, feeling fat and weak, no will power, so stuffed and going back for seconds and hitting the dessert table all afternoon. I relived my own pre-op day - Huge plate, make excuses, 2nds, excuses, dessert table all afternoon sneaking as much as I could get away with. i'm exhausted thinking about that. Today is a short day. After work I am braving Costco for pies and regular grocery store for everything else I can't get there. Pray for me ya'll, I hear it's brutal.
QOTD - It's usually about 11am - 1pm i****ry to put off lunch as long as possible to avoid afternoon snacking which tends to be less controlled for me. The evening sometimes, but lately nothing. Maybe a cup of coffee, popsicle or jello w/whip if i want something sweet.
Accountability - pretty damn good! 197 day 2.
b- coffee x 4, cottage cheese
l - grilled chicken and pickles
d - Robs chicken enchilada casserole made with 25 cal corn tortillas
s - tomatoes, cucumbers
Have a wonderful weekend!
Just add shoulders and ankles and we have ourselves an OH party!!
