What's on your Thursday Menu?

Happy Friday-eve gang. It has finally cooled down some and we are getting some needed rain showers after all the heat the last few days. Tomorrow starts my vacation and I'm not sure what we will be doing, but I do know Irvin wants to go to a restaurant he found in Tiverton, RI. He was watching some food challenges, and this lady did the cookie monster challenge which consisted of a 2-pound fresh baked chocolate chip cookie topped with 15 scoops of ice cream. While the challenge is for 2 people, she did it herself in under 8 minutes and won $200. Ice cream is his weakness, and I know he could do that challenge himself in under 10 minutes, but I told him I would rather just go and get a sandwich or something. I also want to go clamming if the weather is good enough.

QOTD: For those of you who eat eggs how do you like them prepared? My go to way is scrambled, but like hard boiled or in an omelet. Yesterday Irvin made 4 soft boiled eggs and what a difference between hard boiled. I think I might just start having them more often.

B: coffee and 2 soft boiled eggs

L: salad with cottage cheese

D: grilled chicken thighs

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin y'all.

my appointment yesterday was ok. He upped my antidepressant again. I really don't care for him...at all. I think after the next appointment I will switch to the female provider. I just come out of these appointments feeling like such a failure. He makes me feel like **** just because I struggle with pain and treatment resistant depression.

today is my PCP at noon. I look forward to this one a lot more. I'm hoping to get the mounjaro upped. I also think I might have an ear infection. Will get him to check it just in case.

we'll be going to Sam's this morning. We get Frankie's special treats there. I also want to get some roasted seaweed.

someone has been trying to get me go to a carnivore diet to see if it'll help with my pain. I know i've been lacking in protein but I love veggies. We'll see. I may see if the library has something about it.

QOTD: hard boiled and just pan fried. I wish I could have bacon grease everytime! I might buy some. It's funny I don't like bacon much but love cooking eggs in the fat.

B: breakfast burrito and coffee

L: might get atkins bowl.

D: if Thai leftovers. If not maybe some baked fish.

Riley the other day with Mona. They love each other so much!

Mel I've been thinking about the carnivore diet with maybe a jumpstart with the egg diet since I have so many fresh eggs. Take a look at this You Tube video. These doctors get really in-depth about the carnivore diet in a positive way.

Thank you for the link! Will watch it later this morning!

my issue is I am a veggie lover. I need to get over it!

I do not eat eggs and only use them in baking.

Mel: that diet sounds crazy to me. But I love fruit and vegetables. I did a high protein diet years ago that included salad. It left me craving bread and potatoes and I gained back the ten pounds when I got my first taste of bread.

Do you remember years ago the AMAW challenges we would do here?

I kind of want to do one of those again. It was fun.

It sounds crazy to me too but I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,

Enjoy the vacation, Jennifer. I just booked a place in Ocean City Maryland for the end of August. I'll be looking forward to being at the beach. Also, when I am there, I run the boardwalk every morning. It is a flat 4-mile run. I am always amazed how fast my time drops in just one week of running.

QOTD: I could not do scrambled eggs the first 2 years out of surgery, I always had over easy and put cheese and ham on top. Now, I can eat them anyway. My favorite way is deviled.

Accountability: I ate a piece of Pizza

TSS: 7 years 6-months 15-days 168.8 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

MS: Premier Protein Root beer Float and berries

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

L: Baked Italian chicken thighs

D: Eggroll in a bowl

Exercise: dog walking

Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.

Have a great weekend my friends.

Brightest Blessings

Chrissy

Good Morning, let's get this Friday-Eve going. I hope you enjoy your time off! I am out early today for a dr appt and then I might ask for 1/2 day off tomorrow. It would be nice to get a few things done that I would normally get done over the weekend but I want to keep my schedule mostly clear so I can help Em with whatever she might need for her move.

QOTD: I like a good omelet at a diner but I also like boiled and scrambled as well.

I haven't decided on dinner yet but the rest of my menu is the same as usual for during the week. Exercise done (1/2 hour elliptical and just over two miles ran on the treadmill is my current routine most days). Water and vits on track so far.

I hope everyone has a great day.
