What's on your Thursday Menu?

Good little Friday Eve gang. The BAU audit is going rather well and tomorrow our PM will be made aware of the findings whi*****lude the non-compliance of the daily equipment inspections. Safety is a big thing here and some people just don't get it or care I guess.

I went through some more totes in the basement and threw away some junk. Also, brought some stuff in to work incase anyone wanted anything. Looks like the weather is slowly going to start creeping up to being warmer they are saying almost 50 next week.

QOTD: This question is going to be a bit political, but I honestly want opinions. Do you think SNAP benefits should ban being able to purchase sugary drinks, candy, and other unhealthy foods? I have mixed opinions on this because I feel that all that crap food obviously is not good for kid or adults as we all know this well right or we ourselves wouldn't be on this site. But on the other hand, the cost of good nutritious foods is outrageous and in order for families to be able to purchase those items they would need more in benefits. Not sure what will come of this if they do start to micromanage what people can purchase with government benefits.

B: coffee and 2 egg omelet with ham and spinach

L: seafood salad wrap

D: beef hot dogs and no sugar baked beans

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a great day everyone!!

It is sad but people are addicted to those unhealthy foods. If not allowed to buy them legally they will find another way to get them.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,

Still cold out but me and Rudy braved it and got a little walk in. I need to run to Walmart today and also stop and get my mom's prescription. Looking forward to the weekend we got a lot planned.

QOTD: I know that people sell their benefits to get money for Drugs and Liquor. I am sure if this goes into effect the ones who want it will find a way

Accountability: Food wise good but I need to start moving more. As soon as the weather breaks since it is staying lighter longer.

TSS: 7 years 2-months 9-days 165.6 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

MS: Premier Protein Cafe Latte, pear

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

L: Thai meatloaf, Asian vegies, and berries

D: burgers on a sandwich thin

Exercise: We did walk thins morning probably walk again tonight depending on what Rudy wants to do.

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

QOTD- I don't think there should be micro-managing of people on SNAP. People are going to buy what they want. You can't force someone to eat healthy we all know that or we wouldn't be here. The sad thing is that the manufacturers put things in foods to make them more addictive.

I got my hair done yesterday and I get my nails done this afternoon.

My Mom has been having issues with her Credit Union. She's been unable to login for extended periods of time and with the MFA she can't get the code on her landline phone-it no longer calls her, and she isn't fast enough to get in from her email and put it in the login screen. They want me to be there with her, I'm not sure what I can do. I can remote into her computer and help her that way, but this is crazy. I told her to dump this credit union and go with mine, I've been a member since 1978 and have never had issues like this. She will be 90 in May and I realize she isn't very tech savvy any more, but it's so frustrating for her.

My friend from work just got a new puppy, a golden doodle. He's so adorable. Unfortunately he has pneumonia and may not make it. She's had him for less than 7 days and the seller should be responsible for the vet bills. Send her some good thoughts she really needs him to be OK.

Have a great day everyone!

Good afternoon.

My whole post got lost on my original attempt to post. Here's a quick post.

I have treatment today and I build it helps this week.

QOTD- no. Snap recipients shouldn't have restraints on groceries. Processed foods are cheaper and they already can't buy enough groceries and can't afford to give their kids money for cafeteria lunches. Sometimes the parent has to work overtime or the kids forget their lunch at home. I think they should do more for snap recipients like require that 20% of their monthly balance needs to go to fresh produce.

B yogurt half protein shake

L: nothing. Maybe grab something in an hour if I can squeeze lunch into 10 minutes.

D: subway. It's been years. I'm looking forward to it.

Morning everyone. Nothing new here. Nice and steady. Still cold, but warming up starting on Sunday.

QOTD: Why are the people who constantly complain about "big government" want to stick their noses into people's shopping carts? That sounds like big government to me. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. There are already restrictions on what people can buy with SNAP. The only thing that's broken about the system is that it covers a small fraction of what people need to eat. It doesn't need to be cut, it needs to be expanded. We're creating more poor people every year. The last thing we need is another billionaires tax cut. Those folks are doing just fine. Stick your noses in their shopping carts for a change.

Good afternoon y'all.

Nothing exciting going on here today. I did an at home A1c test and it supposedly went down .5 but I'm hoping hay my pcp will do one at the clinic. I'm happy with any drop but I'm also hoping for bigger one next week.

QOTD: no, there are many food desserts in this country. Healthy and fresh food isn't always available. To me it's an excuse to stick it to poor people or those that are less fortunate. I get SNAP benefits since I'm on disability with no real other income. 72 dollars a month. The problem isn't with us. While there are some who do abuse the system, far more of them are not and are struggling. Going to food banks.

food as eggs for breakfast and a Buckies BBQ sandwich...well half of one for lunch. Dinner will be stew.
