Good mornin everyone.

I am feeling rather miserable this morning. My eye is hurting and the tape is really irritating my face. I've gotten very little sleep and i'm pretty grumpy...or salty...LOL

I have an appointment at 8:30 to get the bandage off and see how things went. Not sure if I'll see the doctor or a NP. Either way they put tape over parts of my eyebrow...I'm hoping it doesn't pull the hair out. I hate medical tape...it eats away at my skin. At least this is just an over night thing. I will have to wear a shield at night but I'm going to use a different kind of tape. Should only have to do that for a week. I also have drops I have to use every day for a while. There is a gas bubble in my eye so I have to continue sleeping on an incline for a while.

My mom is wanting to get a coffee maker that's on sale at Sams today so after my appointment off we'll go. I may stay in the car depending on how my face/eye looks.

QOTD: what's your favorite breakfast food?

I'd have to say breakfast sausage..I'm going to be trying my hand at making my own chicken and apple sausage. I like applegate's chicken and maple sausage but it's kind of pricey and higher in fat.

b: oatmeal and coffee

l: tostada with vegan cheese, chicken breast and salsa

d: not sure on this one...might make jalapeño poppers with some of the chicken

s: maybe raspberries if they look good at sams...gf toast and maybe some popcorn

Mornin' Weekenders!

I'm having brunch today with two friends. They've never met - but they remind me so much of each other that I've been wanting them to meet. One moved up here from North Carolina about two years ago - and the other moved up here, also from NC, in early April. And according to Facebook, they have four mutual friends in NC (they're about the same age, so I'm guessing one knew someone from high school, and the other knew the same person in college, and vice versa). We've had a heck of a time finding a time that worked for all three of us, so I'm so happy it worked out to do it today. The issue is, one of them will only eat outdoors (we're all fully vaccinated), and it's going to be 49 degrees F at the time we meet, so this could be uncomfortable - but I guess it might be tolerable if I wear layers. So...that's what I'll do...

I was thinking about biking later this afternoon, but I think it might be too cold for me - so I may do a virtual Zumba class before brunch this morning. Not sure what else I'll do today, but it'd be nice to get out. It looks so sunny and beautiful from my window.

QOTD: I was never a traditional breakfast food lover and pre-surgery I made fruit smoothies and took them to work with me, but now I usually eat Greek yogurt with fruit. I love that. When I go out with people I try to find places that have things like Greek yogurt parfaits on the menu - or I try to go late enough in the morning that they have brunch/lunch foods available like sandwiches - although a breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito will usually work for me, too.

B: Coconut or vanilla skyr with 1/2 diced mango, coffee with half & half

MS: protein shake

L: (actually brunch) - I'm thinking I'll order the chicken/bacon/avocado wrap and eat half of it

AS: protein muffin

D: the other half of my chicken/bacon/avocado wrap, 1/2 C gomae

have a great day, everyone!

good morning! A weekend with very few plans lies at my feet today. What shall I do? I need to run to Target for shampoo and Michael's for some vinyl, so I'll get that out of the way. And pop into the grocery store to figure out dinner for tomorrow.

I did not do great eating yesterday. Was hungry all day long. I did ok during the day, but added a glass of wine before dinner and 2 pieces of mini chocolates in the evening. Sticking with mostly chicken stuff today to try and get full, and then we have reservations at our little local Italian place for dinner. The hubs loves their pizza and he's been craving it.

QoTD: Probably eggs. Though in pre WLS years there is a place here that makes a savory baby dutch pancake filled with roasted veggies and gruyere cheese. You have to stand in line for it, and I would have no problem with doing so to get one.

Menu:

B: chicken breast bites and 1/4 C cottage cheese

L: probably turkey roll ups with a little cheese. Maybe some Quest protein chips

D: don't know. Last time I had meatballs and they were terrible. Very unusual for this place. Maybe some Caprese Salad and a bowl of minestrone soup. That's not enough protein for me and that's going to cause a problem. I think I'll probably just call an audible after reviewing the menu.

S: hopefully none!

Peace Everyone!
