What's on your Tuesday Menu?

This one is even Sheila approved:-).

Good morning gang. Less than a week till Christmas. Yikes. We watched Miracle on 34th Street last night, so it can officially be Christmas.

I'm hoping we get out to Wonka today. We still need to go to the supermarket for the roast beast.

QOTD: My favorite Christmas album is Phil Spector's A Christmas Gift for You. My favorite song on that is Darlene Love's Christman (Baby Please Come Home).

Good morning ~ Enjoy Wonka and popcorn today while resting the knee! Busy but good day at work yesterday, I was able to get things done/started that I needed to be on track. Today is more of the same. We are supposed to have rain all week and so far it has not disappointed. I had my office window open all day - thankful for the awning and it was lovely. At home, we have a metal roof over our back patio. I love the sounds of the pouring rain there and that we can leave the sliders wide open to enjoy the sounds and fresh air. It's the little things!

QOTD - Even though I am not religious, I love the old fashioned religious Christmas Carols I grew up listening too. The same ones my mom would literally turn up to 11. My favorite is still Do You Hear What I Hear, followed by with O Holy Night and What Child is This. I am loving the Bocelli Family Christmas album right now, the Greatest Gift is beautiful.

Accountability - I forgot my lunch and creamer for work, so I skipped that coffee and picked up Thai chicken soup for lunch. I had 3-4ish bites of Christmas Crack (the rest is going into to work today) - I am just not a sugar person anymore. It tastes great, but it makes me feel horrible even without RH which I have managed to avoid these past couple of days. It upsets my stomach terribly and makes my mouth feel like death. 192.6 today.

B- coffee x 4

l- catered mexican - 2 carne asada tacos

d - baked boneless/skinless chicken thigh, small baked potato, green beans

s - beef jerky

816/75

e- Not today

v/w - 2 days no vitamins due to blood draw tomorrow is messing with my head, lol

Have a great day!

i wish I felt about sugar the way you do, I'd be a skinny thing. Sugar is my kryptonite, I have no power.

I love sugar, but it doesn't love me. I wish I were indifferent to savory carbs. They are my problem

Mornin' All!

well my financial advisor didn't say anything at all about the fact I rolled my 403(b) $$ into an IRA at Vanguard, so he must have forgotten that he suggested I roll it over to his place instead when we met last spring (his management fees are much higher - plus he - or someone - makes the decisions for me. I prefer making some or most of the decisions myself...). Anyway, I was a little apprehensive about that meeting for nothing. Whew.

nothing on the agenda today except for a massage this afternoon (that was rescheduled from last week when I had to cancel it to take my mother to the ER). I'm planning to go to a water fitness class sometime this morning (probably the Aqua Zumba one at 11:00). I'll also head out to the grocery store today since it'll probably get busier and busier as the week goes on. Otherwise, not much going on on this end.

QOTD: Other than the goofier ones (like Rudolph or "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus), I like them all (esp the older hymns - although I'm not religious, either). I guess I don't have a favorite.

coffee with half & half

crumpet

Greek yogurt

salad with chicken strips

Protein muffin or protein shake

not sure about dinner - but I'm kind of in the mood for hot & sour soup, so I may make that

have a great day, everyone!

Good morning all and Happy Tuesday,

Wonka! I can't believe they got Harrison Ford to play Grandpa Joe. What a get! Seriously though, looking forward to checking it out and recently rewatched the original. Anyone else seen it or excited for it?

QJB- I'm interested to hear what you think of the movie. More importantly, you need to get some Oompa Loompas to help with the cookie biz. Imagine what you could accomplish.

QOTD- No carols for me. I liked silent night when I was forced to sing in grade school.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.

L: Pork Shish-ka-bob sandwich, a handful of fries at Mr. Ds.

D: Rotisserie Chicken & G. Hughes BBQ sauce.

I watched the original Wonka this weekend. I have not seen Wonka yet but would love to. Maybe Saturday we will see.

Good Morning! I'm so glad your knee is doing better. Busy work day that flew by but I'm working a few different projects so good. Today will likely be the same.

QOTD: I'm not sure. Silent Night maybe.

Have a great one!

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

So glad you took some rest time for that knee. I would have a hard time not taking care of a repeat customer, so I see where you are coming from. Keep them Happy. I had no time to post yesterday because we did not have internet till about 10:30. It did give me time to get all my Christmas cards out though so as crappy as it was it worked in my favor. I baked 15 dozen of cookies Sunday and 2 trays of fudge. I am done with cookies, and I already started to distribute them. I figure get them to them fresh and they can nibble before everybody else give them gifts of sweets and they end up getting shoved to the wayside.

We had our first snow of the season. I was very nervous to see how Rudy would react. I'm happy to report he is a snowbird. Can't get him in the pool but he loves him some snow. Zoomies and all.

QOTD: Let there be peace on Earth. Not sure it is a true Christmas Carol, but they always played it at Christmas time in our Catholic church growing up.

Accountability: Some cookie crumbs and peanuts.

TSS: 6 years 0-months 7-days 161.6 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF coffee mate chocolate caramel creamer

MS: Friendly farms vanilla Greek yogurt, and berries

CB: Coffee with SF coffee mate chocolate caramel creamer

L: Texas Roadhouse chili & green beans a smoked wing and Snack select

D: chili

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 weekend my friends.

Brightest Blessings,

Chrissy
