What's on your Monday Menu?

You're amazing! Give yourself some grace.

Good morning all and Happy Monday,

It's a good day to be alive. Well, except for seeing the dentist this morning. Reframing Matt would say that I get to take care of my health nowadays and that includes the dentist. I would like to hold on to my chompers as long as possible and this is part of the deal. I mostly wrote that for the benefit of my attitude this morning.

It was a decent weekend. I did things around the house, ran errands, and ate good food. I did bookkeeping for the club. I spent time with an old lady, 'Pickles.' I did an acrylics art class yesterday, which was my 'try something new' for the week. I met up with Paula last night for dinner and it's looking like the beginning of the end.

QOTD- I asked my aunt this since she's been doing weigh****chers since the 90s. She said that she's sad a lot of locations closed, including her nearest location, and that they stopped selling branded food. However, she says she'll keep doing it and drive to a farther location for weigh ins. Also, she asked if I now regret getting gastric sleeve since Ozempic exists. I replied that the Sleeve wasn't a cure all like a pill. It has taught me to eat a sustainable diet and incorporate other positives like accountability, Obesity Help, and motivates me to tackle other parts of life.

Accountability: scoop of toasted marshmallow ice cream.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.

L: Salad with char Siu pork, tangerine, almonds, maybe a rice wine vinaigrette.

D: TBD - Dinner with sissypoo.

I suspect that we will find the pill isn't the cure all either, just another tool. It's good to have a variety of tools.

I had a great grandmother whose name was Mary Pickles. My family tree is really just a single, narrow, branch.

Good Morning! Im glad you got a true Secret Santa gift, well deserved. Speaking of well deserved, I hope you have plans to rest that knee. My weekend flew by with wrapping, shopping and errands. I agree, I'm not sure how Christmas is a week away!

QOTD: I'll be honest I didn't know WW had shifted. That seems strange to me. I do feel we all need to find what works for us but for meds a think a dr should be involved.

TSS: 9 years 4 months

B: SF latte, Fiber/protein oatmeal, turkey sausage, and an orange

L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit

S: Protein puffs, a piece of fruit and yogurt

D: Shredded chicken, green beans, keto bun, banana, and dark chocolate

ES: yogurt and toast

E: Treadmill

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1378 Protein:121 Carbs:135 Fat:47

Have a great one!

G'morning all!

Having a hard time keeping my eyes open. Stayed up till 2:00 to finish a couple of craft/Xmas projects and got up at 4:00 to leave the house by 4:30 for the airport. Presently sitting at the gate, smelling the coffee but not finding it. You don't want me on a 5 hr flight with no coffee in me.

Brag time:

Project 1: A cropped sweater I made for DD for Xmas. It's one of those sweaters that nowadays younger ladies wear with a tank top underneath.

Project 2: a baby blanket for a very special baby girl, hence all the hearts. The blanket was the main reason I was up till 2:00. Had to fini**** so they could pick it up this morning.

QOTD: on one hand I am happy the whole industry is finally acknowledging that obesity is not a lack of willpower but a disease like diabetes. On the other hand WW keeps changing tunes, but according to an interview with the CEO that's what companies do, they evolve. I have no idea how it would work through WW asking for medication.

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• Hb egg, tuna, chips
• Xmas crack, L&F yogurt
• Unexpected cheddar spread and soy crackers
• E: nope

Happy start of the week!

You are so talented! And you aRe doing all that with one arm in a sling

Thanks!

That baby blanket is just incredible. Oh my God. What talent. They must be over the moon.

I sure hope their reaction is as good as yours.
Thanks Grim, it means a lot to me.
