It is entertainment to me so I don't care if it is history or not. I love Dylan's voice and music.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I looked at one of those "what did they get right ?" Articles and it's about 50 percent accurate, 25 percent poetic license and 25 percent made up.

I will wait for it to be on TV but I am looking forward to the Dylan movie.

Good morning, everyone!
Kelly, I hope you had a Happy Birthday and some good family time.
We had a good weekend, everyone liked the Bob Dylan movie, and Marilyn and I watched plenty of football as well.
I did my official post-holiday weigh-in and was 208.8. I was 206.2 before Thanksgiving, so up 2.6 pounds. I don't think that I will make any special plans for the 2.6, but using the continuous blood sugar monitor for the two week cycles will likely help me eat better. Between that and Spring weather, I suspect it will drop back.
QOTD: I like to get a sandwich at Jersey Mikes when I am home. I believe that they also make bowls with no bread, which some on this site eat. A lot of days at work, lunch is brought in.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Sausage
Have a great day, all!

Lunch for me is usually whatever is left over from supper the night before. Most meals last me for two or three servings. I try to make a pot of chicken or vegetable soup once a week and portion that out for lunches. It is the easiest way for me to have a meal and I use a lot of meat in my soups so they are high in protein.
We are in for a few weeks of very cold weather and snow. Most of the time in the 20's. The last few years we had little winter weather so this feels strange. I have been experimenting with making bread lately. This weekend I made one with bisquick and beer. It was too sweet and I threw most of it away. Today I am making a whole wheat and oatmeal bread with honey. Whole wheat takes a long time to rise so I will be playing with it most of the day.
My cat has learned fetch and brings me his ball for me to throw it. He wakes me up at night with the ball in his mouth and looks so cute that I have to play with him.
The diet that Teenie posted yesterday has some recipes that look great and I will be making some of those recipes in the next weeks. I am no longer trying to gain weight so will concentrate on getting in protein and lots of good vegetables.
Have a great day everyone.

Sorry to have offended someone by starting and missing previous posts. Don't worry...I won't start again.
QOTD: when it comes to a healthy lunch what?s your go to? Do you lean in on protein first or something else?
I am struggling with lunch. I have been extremely lazy about it and it shows, I?ll have some protein pancakes or something out of the freezer( chicken bites or a pancake on a stick). Sometimes it?s a couple of boiled eggs with cheese.
Thanks. I am going to try that.
