What's on your Monday Menu?

Morning all. I would say this meme feels accurate. I had a very nice weekend that was a combo of hanging with friends and teaching a cookie class yesterday. Both were great and I would love one more day before having to face the week. But thankfully I got a decent night's sleep and it's a WFH day, so I think I got this.
QOTD: Pick a fictional animal for a pet! Even though I am not typically a dog person, I think I'd pick Gromit from Wallace and Gromit. I'd eat lots of cheese, and Gromit will thwart evil plans and keep us safe -- I think we'd be a perfect duo.
Ok, if I see a wagon roll by today, it's time for me to hop on board and hold on for dear life. I had all decent excuses to have 100% takeout last week but those excuses are over. Plus last week when I was eating off plan, I had Wegovy to keep portions low and help metabolize, but I still haven't gotten the new prescription so I am on my own this week.

Good morning everyone. I think things may be back to normal here. I'm a big fan of normal. I'm hoping to get the rest of my shop back in order, and get back on track. I've got my yearly physical on Thursday, so I need to see which pair of shoes weighs the least.
QOTD: Hmmmm. Lassie? Lassie always seemed very smart. But I'm just not thinking of many fictional pets.

Good morning ~ An extra day would be nice! I was pure lazy bones Saturday, but pretty productive yesterday so I feel pretty good today. Kiddo came over yesterday and helped lift heavy stuff and carry big things. I fed him well. I am getting almost depressed with all the football and feeling tied to home. Why am I not making other plans? I got my room cleaned up. I had 7 heavy bags of donations and put together a small dresser for more storage so that will help tremendously. Now, my exercise area is clear! I just need to put more clothes away and vacuum and the room is done. Today I need to finalize a report and prep for the new month. I really have to get ahead this week because I have a conference next week.
QOTD - Pooh Bear my first love! Piglet and Tigger too - the whole gang for that matter.
Accountability - Whoppers, wine, 3 active minutes and 6,104 steps. I reach my stand goal everyday, so I have that going for me! Today I am 168.8 and I have 30 minutes done on the treadmill.

Good mornin everyone.
Not much planned today. Probably a trip to the bank and maybe petco. The party Saturday was nice. Randall loved my gift and declared it his favorite. He is getting into octopuses too. He asked for a huge crocheted octopus like one of mine a friend made. So I worked out a deal with said friend to make one. Will attach a photo of him with it at the end.
I am feeling a little rough around the edges.
QOTD: hmm...Smaug would be fun for a day. Before he gets killed and what not. Sitting in a cave and all that would be fun. In all actuality it'd be Garfield because...well it's self evident! LOL
food is unplanned. My stomach is just blah still. I had eggs but the rest is unknown.

Happy Monday. Had a pretty productive weekend. Put the new goat feeder in the barn and moved the other meat chicken coop into the big truck body for the Winter.
Then yesterday (while I'm a bit disappointed that my mom blew us off for a last-minute church music thing) my daughter and granddaughter went apple picking something the 4 of us had planned for over a month. The place was packed, but it didn't stop us from having a fun time. I ended up with 1/2 bushel of mixed apples for homemade ACV and whatever else I decide to make maybe even freeze dry some. My black garlic is almost done just a few more days.
QOTD: A dragon any dragon as long as it breaths fire.
I will say the vibration fitness platform seems to be working. I do it 10 mins a day and when I measured my thighs I've lost 1/2 inch off of both of them and I'm not doing any other type of exercise crazy.
B: Coffee and a handful of Hot Honey almonds
L: Ham and Swiss on Italian herb bread
D: Shrimp and broccoli
My little stinker.
