What's on your (photo) Friday menu?

Good morning ~ We made it to Friday ya'll! Halloween was fun, we only had a few trick or treaters, but they were adorable. Well, the last 'kid' was about 6'4 and dressed as the Grim Reaper, not so adorable!. I'm staying home today, everything is done at work so I am listening to my body and resting today. Later I may go to the grocery store. Tonight we are getting sushi and watching something not sports related - anything else, please. We didn't get to watch all of our Halloween movies either. Oh well - onward! Christmas is just around the corner!! The weekend looks to be mellow. Cooler temps are here and we'll have rain tomorrow. I'm looking SO forward to that, we have a stash of wood for fires and I'm her for it - bring on Fall, please.

QOTD - Have you ever accidentally blurted out "I love you" without even realizing it, like you were on autopilot? Well, I did it again yesterday! I was wrapping up a call with the person who scheduled my doctor appointment and, just as we were saying goodbye, out it slipped - "Love you!" They laughed it off, but I've done this to my boss and my staff too! The best one? About 20 years ago, I accidentally told my Board President, who was old enough to be my dad, that I loved him at the end of our call. I died at first then he replied, "Well, I love you too!" He was great!

Accountability - Great on food (add sweetarts - maybe 10?) No chocolate was had! 39 active minutes, 8,601 steps. 169.0 this am, and taking a rest day.

b- coffee, eggbeater cheese wrap

l - ham and cheese on protein bread

d - su****una tataki probably

s- cuties, jello w/whip

Have a fabulous Friday!!

Happy Fri-Yay! I am glad you're taking a rest day and taking of yourself! We handed out candy until about 7:30 and there wasn't too many kids but enough to get rid of the candy we bought. Not too much planned for the weekend aside from testing a portion of stucco at my mother in laws house and maybe going to the home show.

G'morning all!

Halloween was great. So many kids, and older kids. We went through 4 Costco size bags of candies plus a box of regular size candy bars I had bought for older kids. Their look when I put the regular size bars in their bags was priceless. We got a lot of compliments about our decore and my sign (my pride and joy!)

I am so grateful for my surgery. Last night my heart wanted all the chocolates but my stomach said heck no! If it was up to me I would have eaten a lot more than 4-5 fun size chocolate, but the body shut down and said walk away.

Starting tomorrow I'm volunteering at a polling place in my county; I'll be working Sat through Tuesday and the hours are from early morning to late night, so I might not be posting for the next 4 days. We are not supposed to wear anything political at the polls, but I am wearing pearl necklace and converse. I am hoping sometime next week we'll have a Madam President.

QOTD: so many times. My most embarrassing moments were when I would call the boss "hon"! Then at home I would call DH by boss' name!

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• Posole soup
• Protein pumpkin cheesecake
• Quest bar
• 4-5 fun size chocolate
• E: 6 miles wog

Happy Fri-yay!

That sign!

Sorry Halloween is not Halloween without the orange!!!!!

I know how you feel about the color orange, hopefully you won't feel the same about the man in orange.

Good mornin everyone. Sorry for being MIA so long. My mind has gotten in the way. I felt inferior and all that bull crap. Treatment resistant depression is no joke. Good thing I am to stubborn to give in to the BS.

Not just a whole lot happening with me. I am finally feeling more optimistic about losing weight. My weight ballooned once I started on insulin. I am so ashamed of it. I had a steroid injection last week that sent my numbers to the moon. That and I had a hard time finding a pharmacy that carried the new insulin I started. That was a whole other thing.... My excitement is not the kind I want.

I am starting a new eating plan tomorrow. Not going crazy today or anything but getting a bit stricte tomorrow. Cutting back on carbs little by little. So I'll be posting again. I just felt insecure about myself. I apologize.

QOTD: not a lot. My family is one of those that don't say I love you a lot. You show you love them if anything at all. I am breaking the cycle. I tell my nieces and nephew every time I see them. BUT in fifth grade I told a cross walk guard that I loved him. I was so embarrassed and I still cringe about it to this day.

B: eggs, cheese and bolthouse farms dressing...coffee x 3

L: boneless chicken wings, baked Cheetos

D: part of a bierocks (hamburger, cabbage, onion inside of a pizza crust

• Good morning everybody!

I got a little too chatty in the whirlpool after swimming and ended up having to scramble to make it into work. I?m on my train albeit with a little chlorine smell about me. I showered before the pool, so it?s not like I?m filthy or anything.

The weather yesterday started rainy in the morning and later turned chilly and windy, but we still got about 150 kids. We handed out 4 boxes of full size candy (minus what we snacked on) and still had to break out the smaller sized bag. We have one unopened bag, which hopefully Costco will take back.

One thing that was different this year was that the littles mostly came after 6:00 as opposed to right after school. I wonder if that is because of Return To Office?

We have a black tie event for work Saturday night, but otherwise a gym-centric weekend. And trying out my bicycle.

Fall pictures - Pumpkins, Octoberfest, and 5-ish K.

QOTD: Yes, that and calling people the wrong names.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: Turkey Sandwich

Dinner: Carnitas

Have a great day, all!

14 days till we meet again my friend. I can't wait!!!!
