Whatcha Eating Today, VSGers? Saturday, 08/04/18

Nutrition has been hit and miss; I have MDD which has finally resolved (much longer than usual duration) but so grateful.

QOTD: What is your current obsession? BBC television; crocheting

Food: Haven't got a clue but weight is static and I'm hitting protein goals.

Good morning. Size 8, yeah! I wish I wasn't driven to eat all my planned food...

The wedding shower was fun last night and I was back on Cape Cod with DD by 9:30 am this morning. There was a 2 mile backup at the bridge but since I know how to navigate the backup optimally it only cost us 5 minutes (maybe less). For those not familiar, Cape Cod is separated from the "mainland" by the Cape Cod Canal over which there are 2 4-lane bridges. At peak times, the traffic can back up as much as 5 miles. The challenge is that the road is 3 lanes then merges to 2 at the bridge and the speed drops dramatically. The trick is to stay in the right lane until forced to merge, then once merged immediately go into the left lane which moves faster over the bridge and into the rotary after the bridge. It is faster this way because most people are afraid of the merge (or don't know where it is) so they go to the left right away when the traffic starts, but it is easy to do the merge last minute because cars let you in at that point. Also, most people think they want to go into the rotary on the right off the bridge but both lanes over the bridge go into the rotary.

QOTD: Obsession - Probably going to the beach as much as possible!

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

Hi All

Seeing what you and others have done Mersh is really a driving force to not give up, so thank you for sharing!

QOTD: What is your current obsession? I am not really obsessed with anything at the moment, maybe VSG youtubes trying to see what others face at my stage of the game, this is basically the researcher in me, and no I never expect to be "just like" someone else.
