Whatcha eating today VSGers? Thursday, 9/21/2017

I'm channeling Erin this morning I guess. I woke up in the middle of the night and then couldn't get back to sleep due to obsessing over Art's office furniture since he wants to buy himself a guitar rack and UGH where will it go?! So I got out of bed and measured a lot of stuff...

QOTD: Aside from Game of Thrones, no one ever talks/posts about TV shows anymore. Probably because we're no longer all forced to watch the same episodes on the same days. What are you all watching? What's in your queue to watch in the future? (I'll answer in a comment.)

Today will be a busy day, especially due to lack of sleep. I've got school and meeting up with my bereavement group for lunch.

1: protein shake
2: going to a new place, it's a diner. Supposedly their burgers are awesome, so I might go that route.
3: breakfast for dinner - fried egg, hash browns for the guys, asparagus, mushrooms, bacon

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: nope, but I'm planning on tai chi tomorrow!

How about you? What's going on for your Thursday?

QOTD answer:

With Art: just finished up The Strain last night and not sure what we'll watch next

With Lance: just finished Preacher and Westworld, watching Carnivale, Fear the Walking Dead, and Halt and Catch Fire

With both: watching Dark Matter

By myself: The Magicians

On DVR: The Expanse, Humans, Grimm, Project Runway, Into the Badlands, American Horror Story (newest season), Channel Zero (newest season)

The never ending on demand list that we'll get to someday: Longmire, all the Marvel things on Netflix, Handmaid's Tale, Twin Peaks, American Gods.....

There is way more good TV now than when I was a kid.

Morning! It's always a treat to get here and figure out that the witty brain work has been done for me! I slept until 4:10am before I woke up and was actually able to briefly doze again after my bathroom break. We really need a new mattress. My back isn't loving ours. Plus, I'm quite sore from Kettlebells on Tuesday (which should make today's class uber fun!).

QOTD: I'm TV constipated right now. I can't seem to find and get into any TV show. I've been all over Netflix since I finished Army Wives for the 3rd run through and haven't found anything I super love. I just remembered that I have Hulu though and that there was a new season of Casual, so I've been knocking that out. There's a couple on Hulu that Jon mentioned he had seen won Emmy's (Not This is Us, I've watched that one and will stay up on it when it starts again). So maybe I'll find one of those I love.

Good grief, you two (Gwen and Erin)! How can you get up in the middle of the night!! Lol. I'm off to bed in a minute but I do have my menu planned for the day!

QOTD: Binge watching The Closer right now. Two more seasons then will start with Major Crimes. Also trying to catch up on the last several seasons of CSI. No****ching much right now cuz school has me pretty occupied.

B: Boiled eggs w/butter and real bacon bits, coffee w/H&H and xylitol

Water and vites will be on track

E: Shopping trip to Hellmart and the "H" word

I LOVE The Closer and Major Crimes too!

I hadn't intended to get up in the night :/ But I woke up to pee and then my brain wouldn't stop.

Good morning! I noticed that some people post on both the RNY and VSG forums. I started on RNY but thought I'd join here too!

QOTD: I watch a lot of dramas, mostly crime related. However the show I am most looking forward to starting up again is 'This Is Us'.

Almost 1.5 years post-op (maintenance). 36 work days to retirement.

B: eggbeaters, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Either meat from Indian food DS bought yesterday or Taco meat on salad

S: yogurt, maybe a protein bar

I am excited. I slept til 6:15 today (no commute, working at home)- yesterday I was awake at 4! Struggled last night to stay up until 9:30 - so I wouldn't be up at 4 again today. I loved the Closer and Major Crimes. A local channel played old episodes of the Closer and then took it off the air 5 episodes before the end of the series. I was outraged and sent them tweets and emails, lol - my daughter thought it was hysterical - 1st world problems. I ended up paying for the last 5 episodes. Right now we just started watching The Deuce on HBO, love This is Us, I still love Big Bang and could watch it endlessly, Big Little Lies, we watch all the NCISs - my husband love all the cop dramas.

B: cheerios

L: made roasted cauliflower last night - with cheese so probably that

D: hoping to be out camping for the weekend so takeout for the first night... maybe chicken or a steak tip salad

E: will walk for sure

L/V: good expectations

Oh yeah: Big Bang is hilarious, especially for any of us who have had geek tendencies (or their partners).

QOTD: I watch an embarrassing amount of reality tv. It's truly my guilty pleasure. I've very excited about This Is Us coming back on next week! Can't wait!

Breakfast: Protein shake

Lunch: Cabbage roll and green beans

Snack: Skinny latte

Dinner: Will have to grab something while I'm out and about this evening. Not sure what though.
