G'morning all!
So that's why I always get weird looks when I ask for fork & knife. I'm so used to not eat the shell or the tortillas (in a burrito) that I always have to ask for a fork.
QOTD: it depends on the length of the drive. If it's just running errands I make sure I have my water or coffee. But on longer drives I'll have my epic chicken, quest chips, jerky and if I know I'll be on the road during lunch a couple of hb eggs and a tuna pouch. Pre WLS it was mostly family size M&Ms or Oreo cookies.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- TJ kebabs + leftover corn/pinto beans side
- Protein icecream - white chocolate raspberry
- E: 6 miles wog
Happy Taco Tue!

Mornin' All!
Tim Walz and Barack Obama are in town today. I got the approval to attend the rally, but I've been going back and forth about it. I hate to miss my classes, it's a several-hour thing when you factor in they're opening the gates at 10:00 AM and the thing starts at 1:30, and there will be several speakers before Walz and Obama come out. It'll also screw up my eating (they do have food at the arena (I doubt outside food is allowed, but I'll try to sneak in a protein bar), but I'm sure whatever food they have at the concession stands is not what I'm supposed to be eating. Plus I'm getting sick of politics. But then - when do these chances come around? I did see Obama years ago when he first ran - and I saw Biden back in June - and it was great fun to be there and very motivating. I don't know - maybe I should just go. I might regret it later if I skip it.
QOTD: not unless I'm taking a long (as in several hour) road trip, which is pretty rare. I don't think I ever did pre-WLS - I'd just stop somewhere. If and when I do take stuff, it's usually protein bars and individual packs of nuts or trail mix.
coffee with half & half
skyr with fruit, Danish rye with butter and jam (this is if I go to the rally, because I want something to tie me over for a long time. Otherwise, just the skyr with fruit)
I don't know about the rest of the day. Hopefully a protein bar if I'm at the rally (if I can get it in through the door).
dinner - I'm going to make celeriac soup when I get home, regardless if I go to the rally or to class. So that and some kind of protein
have a great day, everyone!!

Have fun! I was all ready to recommend Emeril's, but of course you are going to the California Universal.

Good Morning! Those legendary pastries are yummy! Yesterday was one of the more decent payroll days and today it's a few meetings but I'm hoping for a low key day. Not sure if I mentioned it already but Em and I have added Universal Studios to our concert trip next month. We've never been to universal and the tickets were buy 1 day get 1 free so we'll get to go for two days. Looking forward to a getaway, the concert, universal and most of all the time away with Em.
QOTD: Not often, sometimes I will have to eat my snack on the way to an appt or something. Now pre surgery I'd eat in there all the time, fast food while driving.
TSS: 10 years 2 months

Good morning ~ I hope you get to eat some amazing tacos today! Last night for the first time since setting it up, my 6pm 'step check' reminder worked! Meaning I actually followed through and got to stepping until 10k. My foot pain wasn't bad since I was able to ice my foot quite a bit so I will keep at it. Today, I have a few back-to-back meetings in the morning and staff training in the afternoon so the day should fly. I'm on a ERP system demo team that starts tomorrow. It will be a super time suck over the next few weeks so I need to do a serious calendar check for deadlines.
This came up recently IRL:
QOTD: Do you eat in your car? What does that look like now compared to pre WLS? Post WLS - Yes, when I'm on a road trip. I'll bring protein snacks and I aways plan an In-n-Out burger stop. Otherwise, the occasional jerky or like the other day an impulse buy of cheddar jalapeno skinny pop I just had to try (tasty, but super dry) there are worse things. Pre WLS - all the time -bags of chips/pretzels and fast food were a regular thing in my car so that no one would see me.
Accountability - Excellent! 57 active minutes, 10,844 steps. Today I am 168.2, 30 minutes done on the treadmill, stretching and a 20-minute resistance workout after work.
B - coffee, legendary pasty
L - chicken and mini Caesar salad
D - tri tip tacos
s- hot quest chips w/greek yogurt
Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for the link!! I thought they stopped making it and you were making your own. I love the Quaker one, it's really good.

It's the Quaker one, I can only find it at savemart here. I've tried to cut back on the carbs for right now so I haven't had it recently.

I forgot about protein pancakes - I make those once in a while, too. I usually top mine with plain Greek yogurt and homemade fruit sauce (I cook down berries and add artificial sweetener and some vanilla for that - sometimes a little cinnamon, too).

I hear you on the hiding, that was no fun. Finally posting my number on here was liberating! Zero regrets.
