What's on your Thursday menu?

Matt, I hope they are able to get your car fixed quickly.

Oh no! I hope your car gets fixed soon.

Sorry to hear about your car! Thinking about buffalo wings for a month cracked me up because real life!

oh no - that car situation would be so upsetting!!

Good morning Amy and Menuers,

That actually sounds like a book I should read. I beat myself up everyday over weight. This didn't just start I think the first time I was in about 4th grade and my mom had me on some shake diet. Been beating myself up ever since.

I got a meeting in 10 minutes then after that I have a manicure at lunch. I just got to stop at Moms and make sure she is drinking her water and then I need to bake some cookies and get them in the freezer for guest.

QOTD: During the week I am better with food because I have to eat what I brought for lunch. On the weekend I am better at exercise because I can actually find 45 minutes to go to the gym.

Accountability: A handful of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese popcorn

TSS: 6 years 10-months 16-days 166.4 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer

MS: snack select, Chobani zero sugar blueberry Greek yogurt, HB egg

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer

L: Veggie and cheese Omelet

D: crockpot short ribs

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 day my friends.

Brightest blessings

Chrissy

Enjoy the lunch manicure.

Diet culture while growing up was brutal!! The stigma and fat shaming haunt me to this day. It's not much better now but there is more awareness.

Good morning!

I did skip actual exercise yesterday and am feeling a bit less painful this morning. I tried to get in as many steps as I could, even with the limp. 323 move calories (my goal is 360), 16 minutes of exercise and 8,815 steps. 128 grams of protein! and 10 straight days of tracking. I stayed really busy puttering around the house after a trip to the mall with Roger. We needed specific things and crossed them off our list and got in a few of the steps by parking as far away as possible. With the weather we are having, you just cannot complain about taking a walk in it.

Today I am going to the gym. I need to do the weight circuit and I don't see that hurting my hip at all. Also, I will get in steps on the treadmill. That is all I am willing to commit to at this point in the exercise arena. I am also going to find a chiropractor near us. Ours is 20 miles away and while I love them and their methodology, I cannot stand how unorganized they are and no matter when you make an appointment, they will be running way behind. Even the first appt of the day. It makes me crazy. But I'm scared of the traditional method Chiropractors use and mine used an impact instrument instead of torsion. And Amy's experience early this year has me scared. But I woke up this morning at 4 and my skull was literally stuck and I couldn't move my head for a few seconds. Must find a resolution for these things.

QoTD: My weekends don't look very different from my weekdays. But, I never go to the gym on the weekend. I concentrate on taking walks. And I never go to the grocery stores or big box stores if I can avoid it. We only eat out once or twice a month if we are not traveling. Though you could argue all the dinners with the neighbors is in fact eating out. Luckily they are all great friends and understand my restrictions and always make sure there is a good pick for me. And if I'm hosting, I always makes sure there are fun foods for them.

Bites today.

B: egg and carnitas with a bit of cheese

L: leftover carne asada and veggies

D: Italian sausage, gnocchi, broccoli sheet pan dinner

3ish: yogurt w/mix ins

9ish: chicken meat

Peace

I miss the relief from chiropractors even though I was always afraid of them breaking my neck! I never thought it would be my ribs. I stick to massage and stretching now. Whatever you do, I hope you find relief!!

G'morning all!

Yesterday was my thirsty day. I'm not a big ice person, few ice cubes in the cup will do the job. My usual is filling up my yeti twice (84 oz), but yesterday by 3:00 pm I was filling it up again and I was thirsty. I guess on days I run I need more water. I make sure at least once a day I have electrolytes in my water when I fill the cup.

QOTD: my weekday routine for workout and food is usually the same and I don't veer off. I read somewhere that successful people (for weight loss) eat few items on repeat. On the weekends I am more flexible. My rest day might be Sat or Sun. If I'm meeting with somebody for breakfast on Sat or Sun I don't stress about fasting window and try to enjoy my time with the people I love. But I do love it when they suggest a walk and it's my rest day, this way I get my steps in without having planned for it.

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• Chicken meatballs, rotisserie chicken breast
• Jerky
• Protein icecream - snickerdoodle
• E: 6 miles wog

Happy almost Fri-yay!
