What's on your Tuesday menu?

Mornin' All!

Tim Walz and Barack Obama are in town today. I got the approval to attend the rally, but I've been going back and forth about it. I hate to miss my classes, it's a several-hour thing when you factor in they're opening the gates at 10:00 AM and the thing starts at 1:30, and there will be several speakers before Walz and Obama come out. It'll also screw up my eating (they do have food at the arena (I doubt outside food is allowed, but I'll try to sneak in a protein bar), but I'm sure whatever food they have at the concession stands is not what I'm supposed to be eating. Plus I'm getting sick of politics. But then - when do these chances come around? I did see Obama years ago when he first ran - and I saw Biden back in June - and it was great fun to be there and very motivating. I don't know - maybe I should just go. I might regret it later if I skip it.

QOTD: not unless I'm taking a long (as in several hour) road trip, which is pretty rare. I don't think I ever did pre-WLS - I'd just stop somewhere. If and when I do take stuff, it's usually protein bars and individual packs of nuts or trail mix.

coffee with half & half

skyr with fruit, Danish rye with butter and jam (this is if I go to the rally, because I want something to tie me over for a long time. Otherwise, just the skyr with fruit)

I don't know about the rest of the day. Hopefully a protein bar if I'm at the rally (if I can get it in through the door).

dinner - I'm going to make celeriac soup when I get home, regardless if I go to the rally or to class. So that and some kind of protein

have a great day, everyone!!

Can't you hit the rally after class. Probably easier to get in after 1:30 than it would be at 10 when everyone else shows up. Enjoy whatever you decide.

not an option - otherwise I would have done that. No one admitted to the rally after 1:15. My class starts at 1:20.

I hope you go to the rally and enjoy the experience. I just read this morning that one in five republicans are in favor of Donald seizing power by force if the election does not go his way.

GO!!! Enjoy - I would love to see Obama speak.

G'morning all!

So that's why I always get weird looks when I ask for fork & knife. I'm so used to not eat the shell or the tortillas (in a burrito) that I always have to ask for a fork.

QOTD: it depends on the length of the drive. If it's just running errands I make sure I have my water or coffee. But on longer drives I'll have my epic chicken, quest chips, jerky and if I know I'll be on the road during lunch a couple of hb eggs and a tuna pouch. Pre WLS it was mostly family size M&Ms or Oreo cookies.

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• TJ kebabs + leftover corn/pinto beans side
• Protein icecream - white chocolate raspberry
• E: 6 miles wog

Happy Taco Tue!

I use a fork for pizza because I usually only eat the sauce and toppings.

That's a given for me. In Italy they don't precut your pizza. You eat the pizza with fork and knife.

Good morning, everybody!

Normally Tuesday is my work from home day, but we have an in-person meeting and a toast to some new promotes this afternoon. So, my plan was to go into the office. But I didn't make it to Crossfit last night and didn't get up early enough to go to 6:30. So my new plan is the following: 1) take my 10:00 call from home, 2) go to Open gym and do the workout, 3) drive into the city for the meeting. It's so much easier to get to the gym at night when the daylight is longer.

Tonight we have flu shots. If I can get a COVID vaccine I will do that also. I've done the one in each arm before and it seemed fine. I've never knowingly had COVID, so I would guess that I was one of the asymptomatic ones.

QOTD: Despite today's plans, I actually don't spend that much time in my car. If at all possible, I take the train into work and most of my other destinations are pretty close to my house. But consistent with some others, if I do eat in my car now, it's a little snack vs. the drive through trips of pre-surgery.

If I eat fast food (or quick service) now, it is likely to be a Chicago Hot Dog, a deli sandwich or a piece of pizza. I would dine in (or take it home) for all of those because of the mess. Occasionally i will get breakfast at McDonalds, but the one time I ate a meal there did not go well. I don't drink a lot of coffee, so even Dunkin' Donuts is fairly infrequent for me now. I used to like to go to Boston Market, but most of those have closed.

All of this reminds me of how much I would like to have my car detailed again!

Breakfast: bagel

Lunch: Chicken

Dinner: Carnitas (my son is making)

Have a great day, all!

I want my car detailed now, too!
