Good Morning Jen and Menuers,
Thanks so much for starting us off with a positive vibes and motivation. I appreciate you taking the reins and digging in. If you need someone to step up on a one-off occasion let me know. I will be a little later than you but very happy to help out.

If you are not following this, you probably need too. I know going back to basics is the only way to recover from regain.
QOTD: I plan on getting to Cosa Rica and I am hoping I am motivated enough to run the 5K I do on the 4th of July. As soon as weather breaks I want to start training. I would like to medal since I am moving up an age class.

Morning gang. Happy birthday LG, and thanks for starting us off. And happy belated birthday to Julia S.
I'm really lucky that I don't drink any calories at all. Even the extras that folks add to coffee add up to a lot, and alcohol can be a big culprit. And they don't make us any less hungry. I'm glad it's one less thing I have to fight.
QOTD: We've got a couple of classes we're taking this year, but other than that we don't have any plans. This past year, especially the fall, was really busy. I'm sure we'll find plenty to keep us busy.

Good morning, everybody!
Happy birthday, Jennifer - you are a such youngster!
Julia, did you watch the FCS Championship last night? I wasn't planning on it, but what a great game. North Dakota State has won 10 Championships since 2011, that is a run up there with the Yankees, Celtics , Canadians or any recent dynasty in any sport.
We only got a dusting of snow, but it's cold here today. I took 2 weeks off from swimming, but go back tomorrow. Digging myself out of bed and out to the pool in this cold weather is going to be a challenge.
QOTD: Yesterday, I was counting the days until my next vacation and realized that I had only been back to work for 3 days, LOL. 2025 is my last full year of work. We are going to Palm Springs with Lisa and Roger during March and are going on a family cruise in June and a friends cruise in September. Hopefully, my oldest will be able to land a job during the next few months.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Roast Beef
Dinner: Hamburger
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning! Happy belated birthday! As expected, yesterday flew by but I was surprised by 2 bouquets of flowers for my birthday (one from John and Em and the other from Kobe and Em that they hand delivered). Today my team said we are going to go to lunch since we weren't able to yesterday.

Good Morning Menuers sorry I've been MIA. I had some unexpected family stuff come up during the holidays that I needed to take care of and then when I came back to work one of the boilers was off-line due to blown boiler tubes which turned into three days of down time and people not following protocol when a new year starts with contractors coming on site. Things are hopefully back to normal now.
I am going to do my best to commit to M-F starting of the menu thread until at least Spring gets here. I know many of us here look forward to it and with the new year here I know it helps to get us moving in the right direction.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. On 12/28 I celebrated my 50th birthday and my 15th work anniversary. Didn't really do anything because of things going on, but I plan on making up for it this Summer.
Last Saturday I went with my mom and two of my sisters to an Elvis birthday celebration at Indian Ranch in Webster, MA. My mom loves Elvis and the guy who was impersonating him did a great job we had a lot of fun.
QOTD: What are you plans for 2025? I have so many different things planned that I have to make a list and decide what to do first. One thing we did do is get rabbits for the farm. Took a ride to NH on Sunday to get Silver Fox and Creme D'Argent meat rabbits. They will be our breeding pairs.
B: 2 eggs with cheese and 3oz ham
L: 1/2 cup cottage cheese and bok choy soup
D: chicken thighs with bacon and kale
S: cucumbers and celery with hummus
30 minutes on the treadmill
On a side note both my husband and I agreed to not drink any type of alcohol (really only drink wine) as of January 1st. I have lost 7lbs since the 1st and his morning blood sugar has gone from 165 to 106. Absolutely crazy that not having a couple of glass of wine at night can make such a huge impact on weight loss and blood sugar.
I've also gotten back to really measuring out what I can for foods.
Have a great day!!!!

Happy Birthday. Hope you feel a lot better soon.

QOTD- I usually do a half a tuna sandwich on Dave's Killer Bread. I also discovered some tuna pouches lemon pepper, and deli tuna salad 90, & 80 calories with a ton of protein the lemon pepper I just eat out of the pouch, no bread required.
I hurt my back on Christmas eve and haven't truly worked since. I can barely walk, I tried to move a yard debris bin from the street back up to the side of the house. Uphill and the bin weighed more than I do, so I woke up in the morning in excruciating pain. Then when it was starting to feel better I fell on my butt, I was untangling the electric blanket cord from my recliner and lost my balance. So now it hurts even worse. Sitting at my desk is unbearable so I haven't worked much last week. I know it is just muscle pain so no need for the doctor.
The good news is that due to my lack of appetite and bouts of nausea I have lost 5 lbs. So now I'm only 10 from my goal.
Yesterday was my birthday and I got several calls. I was hoping my roommate would make me a cake, not that I need it but he makes a good cake.
Have a great day everyone!

Afternoon gang. Thanks for starting us Melody. It's a thankless job, and I'm glad you do it.
Regular routine here, just the way I like it.
I know a lot of you are getting snow and ice. It's just cold here. It might even be too cold to snow.
QOTD: More often than not I have a Quest bar for lunch. It's an easy go-to, and a controlled serving of calories. If we're out somewhere it's probably a burger.
