G'morning all!
Thanks Yma for starting us. Very glad your skin is doing better. Don't know about you but I love work related road trips. You said 6 hours, so I'm picturing 6 hours of bliss in the car with nobody else around, nothing else to do but listening to my audiobook. And not feeling guilty, because hey I'm driving to a work related conference.
We finally had a full on summer weekend, no fog, all sun and glorious weather. Beautiful day at the beach, and very typical of DH and me: he was covered head to toe and sat under the umbrella when not in the water, while I was sprawled on the sand soaking up the sun. That's your difference between Irish and Italian skin.
QOTD: our princess Luna. A 6.5 year old bi black sheltie who rules our hearts.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- Rotisserie chicken
- Protein Diet Coke float, jerky
- Protein Icecream - cookie dough
- E: rest day
Happy start of the week!

Good Morning Amy and Menuers,
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I did get to ride the Ferris wheel on the Clemente Bridge and I hit the Apple festival yesterday. I also maintained a completely dry weekend. Monday the 1st was my last drink. I did get very bad RH at apple festival after drinking Apple Cider. I was shocked it was that sugary and I only had maybe 4 oz. Yikes.
QOTD: I have Rudy he is our 4 1/2ish rescue Mutt. He is part English bulldog, and we believe part pit bull. He was a stray so now way to tell his background. He is a lover, and everyone loves him back. To the point the neighbors fight over who can watch him while we are on vacation. Actually, when I was at the Octoberfest the neighbors' kids were in from collage and they came and got Rudy to visit with him for a couple hours while they were home Saturday. So sweet that he gets play dates.
Accountability: I had a piece of garlic bread yesterday and way too many cookies. I need to back off the carbs and start exercising again
Accountability: Food wise not bad Exercise has been minimal.
TSS: 6 years 9-months 26-days 168.2 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
MS: Chobani zero sugar toasted coconut Greek yogurt, Berries, snack select
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
L: eggroll in a bowl, cucumbers

Have a great week my friends.
Brightest blessings

QOTD- Definitely alone. I have a hard time in crowds and can only tolerate it for short periods of time and then I need to get away from them. But WFH has made me miss interacting with people in person. I Video chat on Teams and text but don't see people in person.

Thanks for starting. I am starting to realize my limits and working full time while running a small biz means I'm just feeling stretched very thin and something's gotta give. This week it's the menu thread. I'll post for my own accountability but I can't commit to starting right now. I need my mornings to do cookie stuff before work.
QOTD: The best boys--Fezzie and Innie who are 7.5 year old tuxedo cats from the same litter.
My weekend accountability was fine. I've been better but I've been much worse.
-protein coffee
-apple & balanced break
-chickpea tortellini with vodka sauce
QOTD- 2 kitties that are 26 months old. Romeo is a brown spotted tabby and Vee is all black except for a white vee on her belly. I love them dearly. Vee had me out last night trying to find her she didn't come in until 9:30, so I was not happy. Too many predators and I don't want her to be a snack.
Not a good weekend, Saturday I felt like crap all day. Headache, nausea and just not right. Plus this stinking cold is still hanging on. I'm so tired of not feeling good. I went to the store on Sunday and got some more bird seed, my roommate got them some that they love. Songbird Supreme with fruits and nuts and they have gone crazy over it. So now the birds are also spoiled.
I need to go make my mocha and get back to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning menuers ~ Okay, I'll start because I really need to post for accountability and to set intentions so here goes! I took lots of naps over the weekend but was decently productive yesterday. Good news, I woke up to 99% clear skin and just 1 itchy little spot. I never, ever want to go through that again, it was awful. Today I am road tripping to my conference. I need to shower, finish packing and hit the road. There is a meet and greet ****tail hour event this evening that should be fun for a bit.
QOTD - Pet round up! What fur balls live with you? I have a 17 y/o ginger kitty we call Bubs, who apparently has 10 lives and is doing very well right now. I really thought we were going to lose him a month or so ago. LOVE HIM!! And sweet Chloe our malti-poo little girl. She is 15ish and acts like a puppy. She is very affectionate and loves everyone.
Accountability - I was an angel with food yesterday, but the scale says 170.0 today, yuck! 6 hour drive today but will take a walk after I check in.
B= coffee, protein bar
l = in n out on the road
d - TBD
s- quest chips, cuties, edamame
Have a great day!

Good Morning!
Well, wasting an afternoon touring two ( horrible ! ) apartments taught me to be grateful for what I have lol.
Good thing cuz moving would have been a bear.
So like it or not I have to knuckle down and fight on several fronts to pay for this place ( and to force the landlord to finally make it livable ).
After seeing apartments I realized driving an hour plus then charging just bought hedge clipper-on-a stick would make it DARK so stayed home instead to enjoy a beautiful sunny afternoon reading and nibbling D on the daybed ( porch swing converts ).
My eyes ( as always ) were far bigger than my pouch ? ended up with 1/2 piece pizza , a small glass good wine , and a few bites of tabbouleh . Midnite snack later was pastry and tea ? no exercise to speak of 
Today need to find lawyer(s) and do about five other time sucking and frustrating but necessary things downtown, chiro in the afternoon, composting and planting ( early ) this morning and moving the car before 11:30.
And scanning and electronically uploading long answer to landlords motion ( Court Clerk wouldn?t take it in person citing a technicality)
If I can get it into the record w/o having to ask the Judge ( and him probably saying no ) it will be a huge WIN . ( we?ll see 
)
Honestly- could be worse.
B- leftover pizza , pre- made salads , contents of samosas and chile verde soup
L- white chicken chili or pret falafel lentil hot wrap contents
S- coffee latte
Exercise - hopefully a long walk home from Chiro.
D- Osso Bucco ! ( one of my favorites) salad n remaining red wine
Days R really getting shorter - can't believe it's nearly 7:30 and still half -dark and sunset is at 6:30 PM !
Have a great day !
Good morning! A quick post and we are off to be Softball grandparents. Cheering the team on. Girls softball is a trip. They are all screaming chants, laughing, tears and they get Walk Out music! My granddaughter's song is PINK!'s Fight Song.
Yesterday was really good except I did eat the last of the kettle corn. Yay. All water, all day. Made all our meals. Very protein forward. 58 minutes of exercise, 10,066 steps. Finished my book. Did a few house chores.
Today Roger is going to Ocktoberfest with friends. The guys all have Lederhosen to wear. Should be hysterical and pictures to follow. I'm not going. Loud noise, contained spaces, beer. All three are not high on my list of fun. Maybe I'll finally clean out the bathroom cabinet. I've been making good progress with sorting and cleaning drawers. Oh and I am wearing my first Halloween shirt of the year. Gotta get them in rotation before October is over!
QotD: I'm begging to be alone. Making all sorts of plans. Then when I am alone I am great for an hour or so. Then, I start to think I have no friends. Soon, I'm sure nobody loves me. Depression sets in. #Insecurity LOL.
bites today...
B: I have jerky and protein crackers packed
L: last of my pork chop
D: TJ's sous vide chicken thighs and something...
Peace
PS. I cannot believe it is already Sunday and I have to go to workout class in less than 24 hours!!! These weeks are screaming by.
