What's on your Friday Eve (Thursday) Menu RNYers?

Good morning and welcome to Thursday of the never ending week (like the Neverending Story but with less Atreyu)!

Yesterday was good, long but the work dinner was fun and I ate all the chicken out of my pasty and everyone raves about the restaurant. One of my coworkers from Spain said she had never had apple pie so we ordered an apple pie pasty for her and the other one from Spain got the Thanksgiving dinner themed pasty called the pilgrim - it was so cute.

today one more round of workshop, plus a final 2018 visit with my program psychologist and bookclub. I'm glad I'm working from home tomorrow, I am beat!

QOTD - what's your number one trick of getting an energy burst to finish out the week?

the eats today

coffee & tea

b - fage plain greek

l - Chocolate PP

d - either the inside of 2 tacos or a ham and cheese omelette depending on where the bookclub ladies want to meet

have a terrific (and let it feel short) Thursday!

Good morning menu friends! It has felt like a long week here too. We've been counting and doing inventory in a huge distribution center so I am tired of counting and numbers for sure. Do you know 30,000 pink erasers look like? Well,I do! Accountability was good yesterday. Food was good and Lily and I got 2 miles in before it was too dark to walk on our busy road. Today is more counting and busyness here. Weight today was 126.2. Heres the food B 1/2 c oats with protein and peanut butter L 2 slices turkey 1 slice cheese D 4 oz strip steak few bites green beans. Lily and I will get a walk in as far as we can go til it gets dark but at least 2 miles. QOTD I've got nothing! Have a great day everyone and make your very best choices.

Morning all and thanks Jen for getting us started.

Yesterday's elf outfit was a real hit! People on the train wanted to take pictures, lots of snaps at work even from people I didn't know and one of my colleagues had her 3 yo granddaughter with her, who spent the morning peeking around the corner of my cubicle and waving and giggling! That was really fun!

The rest of the day was frankly annoying. Lots of very drunk people, including the division chief who staggered around my desk a little after 3:00. I ended up grabbing a plate of steamed shrimp and baby carrots and a thin slice of sweet potato pie, and then going back to my desk and putting my earbuds in. I just don't deal well with loud, rowdy drunks.

Today will be another long busy day finished off with an hour in the gym with my trainer doing heavy weights. I really like working with him but this week has really worn me out physically, mentally and emotionally. Thankfully I am teleworking tomorrow and will enjoy having a more relaxed day.

Menu:

B: DD turkey sausage wake-up wrap, Americano

S: Chomps

L: soup of some sort

S: Chomps, apple

D: Whatever I can grab very late

E: walk at lunch and an hour in the gym

I didn't get to post yesterday, but your costume was fantastic.

I'm quite shocked that at your Federal Gov't job - on site, during working hours that you are allowed to drink at all - party or no party - that would never be allowed where I live!! It screams liability....

Your outfit was darling!!

Good morning PPA and Menu crew! I had a great day yesterday, I decided at 9 am that I was leaving for the day and went home and took care of a to do list and then brought Joddie lunch at work did some christmas shopping, I met Alex at Sams and got him some groceries for his apartment, got my oil changed in my truck and went through the car wash, went to the gym and did 60 minutes of cardio, came home and cooked supper and then went to pick my folks vehicle up from the storage facility as they are coming home tomorrow. Busy Day!

QOTD - I am fortunate that most times I have energy, speak to me in February and march though when it is so cold and dark all the time and my energy seems to slip.

B - Protein bar

S - Protein Shake

L - what to do, work luncheon is being catered at work, I can see Proni and cheese, Meatballs and wings as my only options, everything else is full of carbs, pasta, pizza....or do I skip it and go home for lunch?

AS - protein shake

D - Baked Cod - as I did not have it last night.

Down another pound this morning - 16 pounds to goal.

Stay Healthy my friends, Mike
