What's on your Thursday Menu?

I learned on a stick and drove exclusively stic****il about 15 years ago. I had to get a new (to me, anyway) car, and DH doesn't know how to drive stick and was really stubborn about learning, so I got an automatic in case he ever needed to drive it. There are still days I miss driving stick - although they're getting hard to find these days!

I think we need a picture of your ears to confirm the elf status but you may be on to something!

QOTD - yes, I have done it but I have no issues calling AAA or letting someone else help if they stop. One morning I had a blow out on my way to work (still dark) pulled off the road and a truck with several guys pulled in right behind me and immediately started to change it...and then a lady pulled in behind them to make sure I was wasn't worried being on the side of the rode with several men. I wasn't worried a bit just very happy they were changing the tire but both were a sign of how good hearted people can be.

I am off today, I have my usual 6:30 pilates class and then I'm coming home, changing clothes and going to the art museum; I've had tickets to the Whistler to Cassat exhibition for today for some time so I'm excited. I wore my Yoda-Santa hat out and about yesterday and anywhere I stopped at least one person came up to tell me how much they loved it....and I saw some double takes from the other cars on the road too. Just doing my part to spread joy:-). I'm wearing it again today!

Menu today will be

coffee plus half and half X 3

Built bar

cheese and cashews

Olive bites

I'll probably treat myself to a SF hazelnut mocha on my way downtown too.

Have a fantastic Thursday everyone!

I've been meaning to ask if you read Matthew McConaughey yet? And from your pic's yesterday - have you read Vanderbilt?

I picked up the MM book on audible; my the prologue I was ready to quit; I finally bailed around chapter two. It was a red light for me!

i do have the Vanderbilt book but I haven't started it yet, I am looking forward to it!

MM- His parents fighting, OMG! I got through it, I'd say yellow light. It got better, but still.

Vanderbilt I thought was very interesting - the history of NYC is just incredible.

Oh the fighting, ugh. I think the last thing I heard before I called it was the peeing higher than a grown man to win a bet, lol

Hi all

QOTD: Theoretically I watched my dad show me but never had to actually do it. I also watched him change the oil and helped him change the brakes. Meaning i bled the brakes when it was time. I didn't actually really help. I know how to top off fluids and check oil and put air in a tire. My DH has a project truck that he basically has had everything done on it. So now we have invested so much we can never sell it. A lot of cars do not have a spare. at all...

food was essentially what I planned yesterday, i added a cheese stick and subbed out tuna for the zuchinni. and i ate a few dark chocolate almonds and a few praline pecans.

For today, hoping for early release but not expecting it.

Food plan today

b: coffee

protein pancakes

s: ?

l: zuchinni pasta whatever with some kind of meat

s:

d: unknown from the list

s: ?

Good morning all!

Today seems like it's going to be a pretty chill day. I have an appointment with my therapist where I'll bring up my fear of eating like junk again in the future. It's not an actualized fear but I food dream last night. Also, all all the holiday food temptation brought it front and center in my mind.

QOTD: I learned how to change a tire when I was young but never have changed one. While I could YouTube a refresher if I got a flat, I'd probably just call AAA.

B: Dannon light and fit blueberry yogurt, banana.

L: Chicken Salad and a few potato chips.

D: Chicken skewers and spinach

those food dreams could stay with you for awhile. I still occasionally dream that I'm smoking - and I gave up cigarettes 26 years ago! I think that's not uncommon when it comes to addictions - they're part of your self-identity, unfortunately...

Good Morning! Happy Friday-Eve! I think we are 1/2 day tomorrow so this week has gone pretty fast. We don't have a ton of things planned but it'll be enjoyable.

QOTD: I haven't.

TSS: 7 years 4 months

B: SF latte, orange, Quaker protein/fiber oatmeal and turkey sausage

L: Tuna packet, carrots, pudding, and a pear

S: Protein puffs, mixed nuts, an apple and yogurt

D: Turkey breast, broccoli/cauliflower au-gratin, sliced orange/banana, and 2 squares dark chocolate

ES: Greek yogurt

E: Elliptical and treadmill

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1437 Protein:132 Carbs:122 Fat:47

Have a great one!
