What's on your Tuesday menu?

Good morning ~ I hope you get to eat some amazing tacos today! Last night for the first time since setting it up, my 6pm 'step check' reminder worked! Meaning I actually followed through and got to stepping until 10k. My foot pain wasn't bad since I was able to ice my foot quite a bit so I will keep at it. Today, I have a few back-to-back meetings in the morning and staff training in the afternoon so the day should fly. I'm on a ERP system demo team that starts tomorrow. It will be a super time suck over the next few weeks so I need to do a serious calendar check for deadlines.

This came up recently IRL:

QOTD: Do you eat in your car? What does that look like now compared to pre WLS? Post WLS - Yes, when I'm on a road trip. I'll bring protein snacks and I aways plan an In-n-Out burger stop. Otherwise, the occasional jerky or like the other day an impulse buy of cheddar jalapeno skinny pop I just had to try (tasty, but super dry) there are worse things. Pre WLS - all the time -bags of chips/pretzels and fast food were a regular thing in my car so that no one would see me.

Accountability - Excellent! 57 active minutes, 10,844 steps. Today I am 168.2, 30 minutes done on the treadmill, stretching and a 20-minute resistance workout after work.

B - coffee, legendary pasty

L - chicken and mini Caesar salad

D - tri tip tacos

s- hot quest chips w/greek yogurt

Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning! Those legendary pastries are yummy! Yesterday was one of the more decent payroll days and today it's a few meetings but I'm hoping for a low key day. Not sure if I mentioned it already but Em and I have added Universal Studios to our concert trip next month. We've never been to universal and the tickets were buy 1 day get 1 free so we'll get to go for two days. Looking forward to a getaway, the concert, universal and most of all the time away with Em.

QOTD: Not often, sometimes I will have to eat my snack on the way to an appt or something. Now pre surgery I'd eat in there all the time, fast food while driving.

TSS: 10 years 2 months

B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange

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

S: A piece of fruit and yogurt

D: Turkey burger on keto bun, broccoli and cheese steamer,a banana, and dark chocolate

ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast

E: 1/2 hour elliptical, 1 mile on treadmill and 20 mins Pilates bar

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1228 Protein:125 Carbs:127 Fat:40

Have a great day!

Have fun! I was all ready to recommend Emeril's, but of course you are going to the California Universal.

Thank you! Maybe Florida one someday!

So glad you're getting to go away with Em. I have never been to a big Theme part like that. The closest I had ever come was Cedar Point back in the 70's. Oh, I lied back in 200 before I met Ron and Pre surgery I went to Hershey but did not fit on most rides.

Do you like heights? I know you just did the Ferris wheel a few weeks ago.

I've never been to Universal - it looks so fun! You guys will have a blast!!

Thanks! I've always wanted to go and been close (been to the warners bros property) and since we have two days there I won't feel too rushed.

I always carried snacks on road trips and also used to eat in the car a lot. Now I would only eat in the car in a true emergency. Even before surgery, I was careful to pack healthy snacks like cheese, fruit, and bite size vegetables. I would get food at drive throughs and eat as I drove. By the time I reached my destination there would be a bag full of food wrappers and napkins in the front seat. Embarrassing if I ended up with a passenger once I got there. I also would have the giant gulp size of Diet Coke in the car and remember it spilling at least one time.

And the lingering fast food smell, too!!
