Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Tuesday, 7/10/2018

I'm putzing around waiting for Art to head off to work so that I don't need to juggle cars with him. Hopefully that'll happen soon so I can go to the gym!

QOTD: If you could choose to be from any country/state/region, where would you rather be from?

1: protein shake
2: leftover bonchon
3: roast beef hash + fried egg

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: running (50 min treadmill, 2:1 intervals), yoga (30 min intermediate stretches for runners)

How about you? What's going on in your world today?

Good morning, VSGers. Still no frig repair - over 3 weeks now. Home Depot is not my friend.

I'm in the office again today and since it's going to be in the 90s again, I don't mind so much, lol.
QOTD: I always think I'd rather be from California, specifically San Diego. To me, the weather seems perfect there. My company has an office there - hmmmmmmmmmm

B: 1/3 bagel, toasted with peanut butter

L: idk, salad yesterday was less than delicious from the caf - maybe a 1/2 sandwich today

D: leftover grilled chicken with salad (bought at a sub shop last night)

E: too hot - maybe some gardening after dinner

L/V: good so far

Good morning Gwen and VSGers! A friend of mine from our prior hometown is coming for the day to have lunch and go to the beach with me and another friend. BIL is taking DH to the beach, so everyone is accounted for. I need to make sure the guest bathroom is presentable.

QOTD: If you mean where would I like to live, probably New England. I used to think I'd like to live somewhere warmer and sunnier like California, but I have grown to appreciate the beauty and diversity of New England. Though I don't mind skipping the winters as I am now in retirement.

2 Years, 3 months post-op (maintaining at goal for 19 months)

Always lots of coffee...

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Out to lunch with friends (possibly Ahi Tuna appetizer if we go where I think we are going)

D: Salmon burger or chicken sausage ****ep swapping for something else)

S: yogurt

Unaccountable toad froth morning :( All dressed up, only to lay back down, lol. I usually have a women's group meeting on Tuesday, but laid down on the sofa with the dogs. They are being very empathetic, so I must be sending out feeling yukky vibes.

Getting ready for next weeks trip up to see my husband's mum, in Saratoga Springs. Always fun. Then up to an AirBnB in the Dunkirk NY area to see some of Jim's HS friends. Always a challenge to travel and eat healthy and successfully without it being a major chore/event for everyone.

QOTD: If you could choose to be from any country/state/region, where would you rather be from? I'm from Soap Lake, Washington (home of the Champagn Lady, Norma Zimmer, and the world's largest lava lamp). I think I would like to have grown up in Spain, along the Basque border.

1. Canadian bacon, 1/2 slice multigrain mountain sprout bread
2. Snack: 1 slice ham, 1 slice low fat mozarella
3. Lunch:???? Depends on my stomach today.

"Unaccountable toad froth morning" I have no idea what this is! I hope it's an autocorrect for something exciting :D Otherwise.. toad froth?!

So glad Gwen asked because I have no idea what that is???

Good morning everyone! Babysitting my cousins baby today but stepkids went with their mother so just my 3 plus the baby. 4 is so much easier than 7 lol. It's back to being a scorcher today at 98 with humidity ugh! Staying inside because the waterpark really exhausted me yesterday.

QOTD - Hmm an island somewhere! I love the beach and warm weather and love the Bahamas, Honduras, Belize, and Mexico. So any of those! We are trying to move to Florida but will probably wait until my oldest graduates high school in 3 years.

B - coffee and Chocolate Premier protein

L - leftover italian meatloaf and green beans

D - Crockpot ground beef and cheese pasta

S - protein bar

E - 30 min jog/walk, squats, leg lifts, bridges, lunges

Lots of water

I once again did a full 8oz. of my Protein Shake (with Dragon Red water) again this morning! It took some time, sipping SLOWLY! I may try some more protein powder in sf pudding today. I am feeling bit better today, except for my chest region, shoulders and upper back seems to hurt/ache when I try doing a few chores not sure what to do to fix it or if it will go away as I heal more?

QOTD: If you could choose to be from any country/state/region, where would you rather be from? Be from or live now? I would not change my past, born in CA, lived on OR coast and spent many adult years in N. MN near my grandmothers' tribal land, I live in Florida now and I'd go back to the West if I could, not liking Florida much. BUT if I could live anywhere I'd live in Denmark (or Ireland which is where 3 of my grandparents were from) but I think Denmark would be better with all the progress they have made for all their citizens and the environment.

Water, water, water! OK not enough water yet, but I am trying and using chipped ice is helping.

B - Vanilla Protein Powder, Dragon Frui****er (8 oz.)

L - Cream of Chicken Soup, Plain Greek Yogurt

D - Low Sodium homemade Split Pea Soup, maybe some creamy avocado or plain Greek yogurt.

S - SF Jell-O, PowerAde Zero, maybe pudding with protein powder and of course applesauce with my pills that can't be chewed.

QOTD: Initially I thought this would be an easy question, but then I got to thinking that if I was from somewhere else, I wouldn't be where I am/who I am today.. so that's not so cool, since I like who I am/where I am today! But.. if I could magically become Norwegian and speak the language and have Norwegian citizenship, that would be really awesome. But only if it meant that my mom was also magically Norwegian - since I won't leave the country without her.

QOTD: western Wyoming or jasper Alberta Canada. My favoritist places I've been

Breakfast: 1 egg and turkey sausage...oh and 1/8 cup shredded cheddarwith coffee later

lunch: riced cauliflower, 1.5 oz 93% ground beef, healthy request cheese sauce

Dinner: same as lunch

Snacks: string cheese, yogurt
