What's on your Friday Menu?
Good morning all and Happy Fri-yay,
We made it to the weekend! Finger pistols to the sky. Pew! Pew! Pew! Does that qualify as attempted imaginary assault with a figurative weapon?
I'm buried under to do's but I'm focusing on completing just a couple tasks today. A new aide is starting to help.
This weekend, I don't have anything important planned so everything is fluid.
QOTD- What is one healthy habit you can add to your routine next week to improve the successful weight management that you already practice.
An extra couple flights of stairs in the AM and PM. Taking my dog to the forest preserve instead of the dog park. Both things are easy and won't take up any noticable additional time.
Accountability- cinnamon roll. I cut it in half and really enjoyed it. Then I ate the other half and really enjoyed it more. That is before the amount of calories crossed my mind.
B: Coffee and Oikos triple zero cherry, peach.
L: Chicken shish kabob, grilled veggies.
D: 4 Buffalo Wings, blue cheese, jicama sticks tossed in buffalo sauce, salad
Pics- a really big tree and me; Burger for breakfast & hand cut fries; Pajun Pancake w Brussels, some sort of teriyaki oyster soy sauce, potatoes
HW: 371 SW(8/9/21): 324 CW: 208 lbs 0 lbs til goal of skin reduction surgery. I'm still looking for a new plastic surgeon.
"I wonder if pizza thinks about me, too."
Good morning, everybody!
The triathlon is on Sunday. It's just a beautiful location: swimming in Lake Michigan, cycling on Lake Shore Drive without any cars and running by the museum campus. I signed up for the Olympic distance this year: 1500 meters swim, 25 mile ride and 10k run.
Last year, I did the Sprint distance, which was 750 meter swim, 15 miles bike and 5k run. So almost double this year. I can't guarantee that I won't walk any of the 10k, but I'm pretty confident that I'm going to finish.
Compared to last year, I think I'm actually a little less conditioned but 1) an improved swimmer, 2) with a real bicycle 3) more experienced, and 4) it's going to be almost 20 degrees cooler according to the forecast.
Today, I will go for a short bike ride and then rest until Sunday.
We will stay in the city on Saturday night because it's an early start on Sunday morning.
QOTD: have oats instead of a Cliff Bar for morning snack.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: Italian sandwich
Dinner: Steak
Have a great day, all!

QOTD- Get my ass out of the house and walk at least 3 days next week. I can't guarantee today as it will be 101 by the time I'm done working and that is just too hot to walk in, even in the shade.
My roommate helped me to finally get my retractable clothesline mounted. Now I can dry more than 1 load at a time. But of course I don't have anything that needs washing right now. I think I'll wash my towels, just so I can use it.
My plan for this weekend is to get the light mounted in my dining room. A coworker reminded me that I shouldn't be on a ladder with no one here. She fell when she was trimming a tree and her husband didn't come out to see what happened, fortunately a neighbor heard her screaming and came to help. So this weekend it is, or today.
I've gotta get to work.
Have a great day everyone!
