What's on your Leap Day Menu?

Is there a chance of it coming close to you?

The one that was close to us is now 100% contained so we are safe for now. We're back under a fire weather watch tomorrow evening.

Mornin' All!

not much going on here in Wisconsin today. DH and I are going to lunch at the community/technical college culinary arts dept. The culinary students serve gourmet lunches every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the semester. The menu changes every 2-3 weeks. Today is Mexican food. You get 2-3 choices for each course, so DH and I will choose different things so we can at least taste most things that are on the menu. First course today is either chicken pastilla soup (which I'm sure DH will order) and shrimp tostada. Second course is some veg dish with refried beans and cauliflower rice (me!), carne asada, and some fish thing. Dessert is either chocolate flan with orange sauce or tres leches cake. This should be fun! Class later this afternoon. I think that's it..

QJB - I love the kind of people who work in higher education. I had an eight-year stint when I worked outside of that environment and I couldn't wait to get back to it. So many well-read, well-traveled, really smart people - I loved it.

QOTD: good question - it's do like to try new things, but I have nothing in mind for today

coffee with half & half

probably skyr with fruit

lunch choices are listed above, but I'm betting on the shrimp tostada, the refried beans over cauliflower rice, and the tres leches cake (because I can usually guess what DH will order, wherever we go...). I'm sure I'll bring a lot of this home

dinner will probably be lunch leftovers

have a great day, everyone!

That lunch sounds awesome. I wish we had something close to work like that.

Good morning, everybody!

Thursday already? I'll take it.

The 2024 Crossfit Open starts today. The first workout is announced at 12:00 PCT. Our gym won't do it today, but we will do it tomorrow night at Friday Night Lights and then people who want to re-do it can try over the weekend. There will be an alternative offering on Saturday as well. Scores are usually due on Monday evening.

I will do the workout at Friday Night Lights but probably not re-do it. That's a lot of work to move up from 355,734 to 355,708 in the worldwide rankings. Also, I think that I will do scaled this year. There are some things in the RX version that I really struggle with, so I'd rather just do the scaled version, keep moving, and get a better workout as opposed to struggling to get my hands to the 12 inch tape line on wall walks. Or the blasted double unders.

We also do a team competition within our gym. Every year, I have been on one team, but this year I am on a different team. I don't know if I got traded or what.

Other than that, I'm in the office, Marilyn made Pork Chops last night and I'm happy to have leftovers, and we still have some shows to catch up on.

QOTD: I'd love to learn to play a musical instrument, but that seems like a lot longer than one day.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: catered

Dinner: Pork Chops

Have a great day, everybody!

Not if you pick up a tambourine. I think that is a fairly easy learn.

The triangle seems promising to learn in a day, lol

I'm pretty good with a cowbell.

More cowbell!!!!!

Good morning ~ Yay for 16k steps and no snacking! Happy things are going so well for you. Happy Leap day! I'm thrilled to have an extra day to wrap up the month. I was able to get through my reports during training yesterday and now just need to review, edit and submit. I have a 3 hour zoom meeting this morning and otherwise, plenty to do. I'm having my units office furniture reconfigured and things built/added tomorrow, including desk moves so we have a lot of prep to do for that. All good stuff!

QOTD - Something new to try today? Popeyes for lunch with a work friend is new for me actually - I'm trying their Blackened Chicken Tenders today. I can't remember if I've had them before? I never go there so I doubt it... anyway that's lunch.

Accountability - continuing with the hydration effort - I just feel better. New scale - again! I'm taking the other one back. This one actually records my stuff without hassle - a well hydrated 184.0 today.

B- coffee x 4, l&f yogurt, strawberries

l - Popeyes blackened chicken tenders

d - Pulled pork + SF BBQ sauce, W/onions, pickle and coleslaw toppings

s - beef jerky

808/84

Have a great day!
