Monday's Menu

I had a nice long weekend, and it was going great until Saturday night when I tripped over one of Meisha's balls she had outside and landed on my left knee hard. I pulled something, but alas life goes on. She did lick my knee as if to say sorry. It's a good thing she's so dam cute. LOL.

My mom and I went to the Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA on Friday. We haven't been since before Covid. It was a day full of horses. We had a lot of fun but was a bit disappointed that some of the vendors we used to see there were a no show. My mom fell in love with two horses, and I had to remind her that at 80 years old she didn't need any more animals.

QOTD: What has been your go to exercise since WLS? Mine has always been walking either outside or on the treadmill. If I had the option to do some water exercises, I would totally jump on it, but besides a YMCA there are no****er options around me so I will continue to walk.

B: 2 hardboiled eggs with mustard and a coffee

L: Sliced turkey breast with bok choy and mushrooms on the side

D: Chicken burger with salad

S: Venison jerky (something I got at the EA)

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning, everybody!

One time I led off during fall and my QOTD was about how everyone?s fall raking was going. Amy posted a picture of one dead palm frond.

We managed to get 26 bags of leaves raked and bagged. Most of our trees are bare, with the exception of a few small ornamental ones, so we are probably done raking for the year. We will mow one more time before Thanksgiving, partly so that the lawnmower gasoline is dry for the winter.

This is a short week because we are going to visit Chrissy on Thursday!

QOTD: CrossFit. But I really enjoyed the Triathlon and want to do more of that.

Breakfast: Corned Beef Hash

Lunch: catered

Dinner: Tacos

Have a great day, all!

Thankfully we no longer have to deal with leaves as we had taken down the big oaks and maples we had in our front yard. The rest of the trees around us are pines so don't drop all that much in pine needles.

When we did have leaves I would leaf blow/rake them into the driveway and then Irvin would take the 9N tractor with a the york rake and drag them down into the back. Definitely do not miss those days.

That's lots of leaves!

Good mornin y'all.

It seems Ms.Tange has roundworm so we get to treat all the cats. Our vet recommended a product from tractor supply. We can't afford a vet trip for all 3 cats so we're off to get that soon. It's upsetting but we caught it early I think.

Last week was just a clusterf&u%. Had some issues with my insulin prescription. A great pharmacist finally came up with what we could do to fix it all. After 6 trips and 10+ phone calls. LOL. Other pharmacy issues too. The other stuff is not worth mentioning. I did get my lyrica upped so hopefully that'll help with the intense nerve pain I've been having. My shoulder is not improving with PT at all. But I am doing it and the homework. I have to get an X-ray tomorrow. You'd think they would've ordered that already. My usual NP quit so that may be part of it all.

QOTD: I loved Zumba when I could do it. I also love my recumbent stationary bike. I still ride it a few times a week.

B: hard boiled eggs, turkey sausage, cheese and coffee. Also 5 onion cracker things

L: ????

D: probably a salad with chicken.

S: cheese stick and baked Cheetos

here are three of the Christmas gifts I have made so far. They all saw one I made and went nuts over it. Really loving them too. I'll be making a copper or bronze one after the holidays.

Good morning Jennifer and Menuers,

Hoping everything is sinking in and people will be back posting. We need to stick together and not let this tread fail. We all have too much invested in it. I myself would not be where I am without most of you. I had a low-key great weekend. Yesterday it actually rained all day. My poor lawn needs completely replanted because of the drought and what we had yesterday wasn't enough to help the cause. We are even going to wait to spring to replant the grass because I don't want to be ou****ering every day at this point. Steelers pulled off a great win yesterday, so it always makes for a good Monday. For anyone who is Military or have been part of a military family Happy Veterans Day.

QOTD: I loved to run but quit. Now I walk the dog and Saturday I did a spin class and an interval weight training session. Right now, I am not motivated but need to be.

Accountability: Too many carbs.

TSS: 6 years 11-months 0-days 167.6 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer

MS: snack select, L&F caramel apple pie Greek yogurt, pomegranate seeds

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer

L: Smoked turkey, spaghetti squash collard greens.

D: White chicken chili

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 week my friends.

Brightest blessings

Chrissy

The chili I made this weekend

This is a kale and butternut squash salad with a Tahini maple dressing.

Here is me and Mom last Sunday going to the library fund raiser.

Here is the Mailman Saturday Hanging on my dead lawn with Rudy and the Neighbor's
Dog Reese.

Marilyn got those bulbs that we got from the mall into the ground. She covered them in chicken wire so that the squirrels, chipmunks, etc. wouldn?t get at them.

What a great Idea!!!! I plant and loose tons of bulbs. Never thought of this. This will be duly noted.

That mailman picture should go viral. So many bad stories about dogs and mailmen. Those two are sweethearts. You and your mom look great and your food pictures look so professional.

I won't post it anywhere public don't want to get him in trouble for taken time to hang with the pups. People are crazy they would say stuff. I think I am safe here though.
