What's on your menu today Tuesday RNYers?

i should know for sure in the next month- they just posted them yesterday

So sorry for the job stress! I've been through that sort of thing several times and it can make you nuts.

Personally, I always struggle whether to skip working out when I feel exhausted mentally and physically or whether it is actually better for me to push through. Sometimes I feel better for having met the challenge and done something vigorous. On the other hand, sometimes I feel so out of it that I'm afraid that I'll hurt myself. Only you can decide which is the right thing to do. Take good care!

G'morning Daisy and menu peeps!

Daisy - so excited about a new home. Tell us about your new requirements and what you are looking for. Sorry about the migraines.

Another early morning for me. Yesterday I caught up with work (somewhat), did at least 6 loads of laundry and refilled the fridge. We are set to go and ready for the rest of the week. DD is here only till Fri and then goes back to DC, her classes start on Mon and she has to move in ALL of the stuff she's had in storage since last May. Between now and Fri we are trying to go to all of her favorite local spots/restaurants and cook all of her requested meals.

Accountability: great. I think my body is still confused about the time of the day so not hungry at meal times. And STILL retaining water. ARGH!

QOTD: A trip to DC before or during spring break with two gfs. A July trip back to Italy. And a summer trip to HI depending on kids schedule. I can't bieve that now we go by kids schedule and not ours!

B: coffee protein

L: TJ chili lime burger

S: my precious parm cheese ( I brought at least 4 lbs from Italy)

D: Turkey meat balls + TJ cauliflower fried rice

Have a great day, everyone!

Sheila, your menu looks delicious! Question - do you usually find deals for July flights to Italy? We want to take the kids to Italy in July but last time I checked, tickets from DC were a minimum of $1500 each (times five people!). Just curious if you have found a good time to fly!

Anything after May is considered high season. $1500 is not bad at all, although you are traveling from East Coast. If you guys are flexible about where you fly in and out you might be able to get cheaper prices. We did a European cultural tour (visited only museums and churches - the kids called that trip an educational tour and NOT a vacation) three summer ago. Flew into Madrid, and then used the cheap European airlines to move to Paris and Rome and when feasible used train. We flew back to US out of Frankfurt. Word of caution: cheap European airlines charge a lot for your bags, so we had only carry ons. 3 weeks in Europe and we each had a carry on. In every city the first thing I looked for was a laundromat!

Short answer, better deals can be found if flexible on days of the week and the airport. But being summer and high season I think you already got a good deal. I know the pain of buying so many tickets!

Let me know if other questions or places to go. I'm excited for you guys.

Only 4 lbs? LOL! I still picture you shoving a whole HUGE wheel of Parm in a suitcase!!

I know, right? It's all DD's fault with all of the clothes she had during her semester abroad. We all had to spread her things into our bags. Believe me, otherwise half of my allotted pounds would have been parmigiano!

If you have a chance, maybe we could have coffee when you come to DC.

I would LOVE that, Janet! I'll keep you posted on our plans.

Good morning, everybody.

Again I stayed up too late watching football and now I'm dragging and running late. Only a few more NFL and no college are games left in the season. Quick post and then off to try and catch the 8:30 train. Otherwise I'm driving.

QOTD: We are going on a cruise to Australia and New Zealand in late December. My daughter will graduate from college and her brother from High school in 2020 so its an early graduation celebration for both. In May we are going to the Kentucky Derby.

Breakfast: Boiled eggs and ham

Snack: Protein bar

Lunch: Pork

Snack: tuna creations

Dinner: Mahi Mahi burger

Have a great day everybody
