What is on your menu today (Photo Friday) RNYers?
Quick post before I head out to an appointment. I have lots of errands to run today as we are getting ready to head to the distribution center near Springfield tomorrow. We start work Monday forva month but want to get there before the expected snow so we'll head out sometime tomorrow. Lily and I will fit in our 4 miles this afternoon as a break from packing and we'll do more right after supper. QOTD I have 2 huge pillows,flannel sheets 2 quilts and a heavy wool blanket. I also have a heated mattress cover that I love. Hubby can turn his side off and I can set mine to high. Accountability good except liquids. Barely hit 80 ounces. Goal today is at least 100. Heres the food plan B1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L2/3 c cheesy broccoli soup D 4 oz baked tilapia 1/2 c green beans S serving of pork rinds with 1 T salsa. Have a great day everyone and make your best choices! Time to find some coffee now!
Fri-YAY! I am seriously in need of the weekend! Woke up to more snow than predicted, so DH and I jumped out of bed and shoveled quickly. Luckily it was fairly light - but that's going to be my exercise for the day!
Yummmm.....raclette. I am jealous, Daisy.
Zero plans (other than a clinic visit for monitoring) and I'm feeling amazing about that. I'm sure by noon tomorrow I'll be bored and wishing for something to do, but right now it feels glorious to have no plans.
Apparently Wednesday was the 1 year anniversary of us closing on our house! I adore our sweet little home and am looking forward to many more years in it (and maybe one day being able to afford adding central air LOL).
TSS: it's surgiversary month - it'll be 5 years on March 18
B: coffee with cream, egg cups
S: cottage cheese
L: Ever Roast chicken and a string cheese
S: apple and almond
D: last night of balsamic pork
S: pb pretzels and thin mints, what else?
Have a great day, friends!

Good morning Daisy and Menu folks. Happy Friyay! Another Crazy weekend for us, tonight I will go to the gym after work, Pick Joddie up after her shift in the ER and we are going to watch a Friends daughter play Basketball, she is being scouted by a few D 1 Basketball programs, none of the biggies, but she is an amazing player. Tomorrow we have a surprise birthday party for a friend and Sunday I am hoping nothing.
QOTD - This time of year we use cuddleduds flannel sheets and we have a dual zone control electric blanket, love it.....and Bamboo pillows.
