Finally Friday's Menu

Good Friday morning gang. It was a bit rainy when I got up at 4am, but it has since stopped, and it appears that the sun will be coming out. Yesterday turned out to be a nice day after it being a bit drizzly in the morning it became sunny and 60 out. I plan on making a beef brisket and turkey this weekend to have some stuff for lunches next week. My garlic is coming nicely and I have more seeds to get started.

QOTD: What was your favorite class in high school? I remember starting my freshman year and I had to pick an elective class. They had several interesting classes, but I chose AG class which was held in a building outside of the main school. It had a greenhouse attached to it and that is where I learned a bunch of stuff. I ended up taking horticulture, animal science, floriculture, joined FFA, and in my senior year I had three hours of working in the greenhouse. That all was so much more fun and educational than sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher go over the same stuff day after.

B: coffee and breakfast burrito

L: Fish sandwich (co-worker wants fish and chips)

D: spinach stuffed sole and sweet potato fries

Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend everyone!!!

Oh and here are my sprouts started.

Good mornin y'all.

nothing much happening today. My mom and aunt are meeting up for the thrift store and lunch. I decided to sit this one out. I need to clean the bathroom and do some laundry. Plus it'd be nice to have some alone time. I also need to weave some metal!

Love the sprout set up! I am thinking about trying mine again thanks to you! I am still however worried about the cats breaking the jars. What kind are you growing?

In about a week or so I've lost something like 5 pounds. I know a lot is the water weight but I am pretty happy with it. I've clamped down but still need to figure out the carb stuff. My bs's are not great. Not bad bad but needs improvement for sure. The CGM has opened my eyes.

QOTD: the only classes I ever made high A's in were history(social studies) and geography. I love history so much and really thought I'd be a teacher of it but then I learned a lot of teenagers are not all that kind when I was one LOL

B: egg, 2 slices of bacon, 1.5 tbs of shreddd cheese and a zero net carb tortilla + coffee.

L: I think I'll make some light soup. I have a mix for cheddar broccoli that needs to be used up that's low on the counts. Might add some chicken to it!

D: maybe soup again if not that probably 3 ozs of chicken with some dill pickle yogurt ranch dressing. Also a cup of roasted carrots left over from yesterday.

this is a bracelet I made over the course of a week. It was just tedious and a pain! But it feels great on and is nice to play with like a fidget toy too. It weighs in at almost a quarter of a pound! My boss requested it...it's two inches wide and 8.5 inches long. It's reversible too.

And a meme!

I have Mung Beans in one jar and Fenugreek seeds in the other one. Is there a cabinet or cupboard that you can put them in since they need to be away from light? I only had my light on to take the picture.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuer's,

Yeah Friday. Crazy spring weather going on. Yesterday Morning when I walked Rudy 67° today 32°. No snow so were good. Weekend weather does not look promising. On the cool side high in low 50's. That won't stop me from hitting the gym. I need gym. I wish there were more hours in a day so I can gym as much as I would really like to. I got Mom duty tomorrow and our new neighbor is having a big birthday party for their 7-year-old. They have family flying in and it looks like it is going to be fun, and I get to meet a bunch of new people. Mom has her bowling Saturday night, so I have to make sure I get her there on time. Pea**** release Wicked today. I have seen in in the theater 3 or 4 times but never the movie. I will run it on a loop on my phone here at work all day and sit down to watch in on our big TV tonight. I am a fan.

QOTD: Lunch and study hall. Funny thing is I hated math and now I deal with numbers all day long. I am just lucky what they said about no having calculators with us all the time did not come true.

Accountability: I guess more Date bar, but I am almost finished.

TSS: 7 years 3-months 8-days 167.4 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

MS: Premier Protein Cafe Latte Carrots and tzatziki dip

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

L: cheeseburger with onions and berries

D: Not sure but if we eat at home, it will be more smash burgers. They ended up so good.

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 weekend my friends.

Brightest Blessings

The crocus shoots already look pretty and a promising start to the spring.

Good morning, everybody!

This had been a long week. Between getting home at almost 4:00 AM on Sunday night/Monday morning, 4 in-office days, and being back at swimming, I am so ready for the weekend!

I did get my full swim workout in this morning, although it was not a thing of beauty.

I am running in an 8-k on Sunday and I need to pick up my race packet at lunchtime today. The race is called the Shamrock Shuffle, and it's in downtown Chicago, so it should be a nice course. Plus I get a free beer.

Aside from the race, I am planning a very relaxed weekend: gym, March Madness, and a lunch on Saturday. Maybe a little fly tying.

QOTD: Accounting and Sophmore English

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: Not sure, maybe a slice of pizza

Dinner: Leftover meatballs

Have a great day, all!

Good luck on the shamrock shuffle. I 'ran' it 10 years ago. I did it for a girl. We broke up the week of but I still did it. It proved to me that I'm capable of doing this health thing and led to the start of the weight loss journey.

Good morning all and Happy Friday,

It is a beautiful day to be alive. I am excited for the weekend. It is looking like it will be nice weather after a few days of ****ty March weather.

Chicago has a lot of cultural things available for free or cheap if you know where to look. Free museum days, Chicago resident discounts, concerts, tool library, $15 Symphony tickets, theater ticket lotteries $25 seats on the 25th for Broadway theatre shows.

Currently the $25 applies to every show. I'm hoping to snag a couple tickets in tonight's lottery. Tomorrow night, the plan is to cook us a fancy dinner and nice tenderloin roast. It will be really nice if I can surprise Paula with a night at the theater too.

QOTD- My favorite class was Journalism and being an editor/writer for the school newspaper for 4 years. That being said, I only attended 25% of classes my senior year.l got Bs despite only doing the tests and big papers. I was working two jobs by that time and already had enough credits to graduate. Had I actually applied myself, who knows?

Steps: 4,936

B: Dannon light and fit coconut yogurt, cantaloupe.

L: rotisserie chicken over salad.

D: rotisserie chicken& g Hughes BBQ sauce.

QOTD- Probably band and stage band. I also loved Algebra II.

Cute kitty bed that so far they are ignoring.

It's rainy and cold but supposedly it will be in the 70's this week. My greenhouse blew over again last night, it was really windy. I'm not going to fix it now, I'll wait until it isn't so windy and rainy. It's not staked down which is my fault.

I need to get back to work.

Have a great day everyone!
