What's on your Wednesday Menu?
Good Wednesday Morning Gang. The clean sweep went well, but I still have some painting touchups that need to be done. I've gotten everything set and ready to go but wanted to pop in to get the thread started.
We are supposed to have a crazy Nor'Easter tomorrow with heavy rain and winds around 40mph. I'm glad I've waited to plant most of my veggies. The few things that are out are in big pots and should be fine.
QOTD: Do you like DIY projects like painting, or tiling? I'm not the best painter, but I am having fun painting here at work. Once we are done I'll post some before and after pictures.
B: coffee and breakfast wrap
L: leftovers from yesterday's catering
D: Salad with egg salad on top
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!
Good morning, everybody!
I was remiss, because I forgot to tell everybody that Bai Water is on sale for $13.99 a case at GFS, if you have a location in your neighborhood.
I skipped swimming this morning, because I am still getting back in the swing of things after being on vacation last week. Hopefully, I will make it back on Friday morning. I did go to CrossFit and will go again today.
QOTD: in general, yes. I'm not super talented at any of it, but I can do some things.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: hamburger
Dinner: Pasta
Have a great day, all!

Hi All!
I really do need to start coming back here regularly. My weight is up a bit, and I need to get a handle on it before it spirals out of control.
Greg is retiring at the end of May, and I've got to turn my Medicare stuff into the state's personnel office since I go on Medicare in August. With both of these situations, our health care will be changing (the payment for Greg's, who's a few years younger than me, will be coming from a different source starting in June - and it'll change again in August since Medicare will become my primary payee, which will lower our premiums, but complicate things a bit - at least on our end - but I think this will work out fine).
QOTD: I don't mind painting. I used to like doing minor electrical things (like hanging new fixtures and replacing outlets), but after sparks flew out of the wall when I was trying to switch out a bathroom fixture once a few years ago, Greg forbade me to undertake any more electrical projects, even minor ones.
here's what I had today:
B: plain skyr with homemade blackberry compote (cooked down with lime and artificial sweetener), thin slice of homemade wheat toast with about 2 t of mixed nut butter
L: protein muffin with whipped cream cheese
AS: Skinny Pop popcorn (6 cups of it - whoops)
D: thinking about a salmon fillet and broccoli. (I'm already drinking a glass of wine, which unfortunately is something I think about every day, but I'm forcing myself to just have one about 2-3x a week and not every day. I've got an addictive personality, so I need to NOT get too used to this!!)
hope everyone had a great day!!
P.S. forgot to add that I attended a cardio/strength class at my gym - but virtually (it's cold and rainy out!). Twenty minutes of low-impact cardio and 25 minutes of strength training. I do enough cardio on my own, but not strength training - so this will be a good way to get back into it, since it's pretty light. They have this class 3x a week..
