Menus and Miles for Roz - Wednesday, April 23rd

Yea - it's Hump Day!  I have some contractors coming over this week to give me bids for putting on a front porch/deck and one in the back and am trying to keep myself sane with the scheduling.  I had to call one today and ask when he's coming over... ugh... It's tough when I only have a short time here in MI to try and get everything done -especially now the weather has turned nice and there's SO much to do outside!  Oh, and work keeps getting in the way - LOL... at least I work from home and have that flexibility. 

Roz is busy getting her work done before she leaves for vacation on Friday, so I'll get this going today.

I vowed I was back on track yesterday, but didn't do so well after 6pm... that's usually when I get into things I shouldn't.

Today's menu:

B - coffee

L - leftover low-carb cheeseburger soup - that turned out pretty good and one of those dishes that is even better the next day.  I should have put some mushrooms in it too that would have been great.  It called for bacon but I didn't have any..

S - a few peanuts here and a few cashews there

D - low carb cheeseburger soup again unless I get a better offer

Water:  still drinking coffee - need to get on it

Vits:  yes

Hi Jody. Sounds like you've got quite a home improvement project going. I need to get bit by that bug too.  We bought our house 2 years ago and still haven't finished the works. I'm fed up with living in a construction zone. Just need to win the lottery to get it done soon! 

B: coffe then protein yogurt-30g

S- lemon tea protein-23g

L- chili - 15g

S: lemon tea -23g

S: cashews - ugh

D: chicken with cabbage -20g

S: hot chocolate protein-23g

Water and vitamins good- no miles

Well yes... money is an issue and I'm spending more than I should, thus the numerous bids to get a real feel for what everything will cost. 

I lived in a construction zone when i first bought the place - I WON'T do that again.  There are so many folks that do jobs on the side, and I found out MY job isn't the priority.  It's #1 job first, family 2nd and any side work they have as 3rd... so only companies that do it full time. 

I don't think I'll ever be done!

Thanks Jody! 

I love our back porch!!  We spend a lot of time on it. I've been trying to find someone who will put railings on my small front porch and I guess it's too small a job because I'm not having any luck.  I think DH and I might try to do it ourselves. 

Breakfast:  Scrambled Eggbeater Whites and 1/4 cup diced ham

Lunch:        1/2 of a 6" steak sub

Snack:        Nature Valley Nut bar

Snack:        1 banana

Dinner:        Meatballs

Snack:        2 TBS plain popcorn popped in my Microwave Popper

Hi Roz!  It's funny how you hear people crying cause they need work, and when you need someone, no one is available? 

I've got 4 people coming out to give me bids.  So far the first 2 HAVE shown up - I feel something good there!

I have a screened porch in the back and love it.  I am putting a small deck out back to cover a dirt portion that is horrible and never gets any sun and will put my generator hut on it.

Your menu looks good.
