Good morning! Everyone ready for the week? I am! It's going to be busy busy and I'm sure by the end of the week, I'll be exhausted but I'm ready.

QJB, I spent 3 12+ hour days over the weekend in one of our warehouse facilities and was so happy that I made smart shoe choices. Definitely felt my age with all the bending, twisting and concrete walking but I'm also very happy with how quickly I recovered after each day...I tend to think that fitness is not getting fatigued, sore, when you are doing something but I'm trying to remind myself that quick recovery after exertion is also a test of fitness....but I will say, by the time I walked onto the plane yesterday, I was feeling all my years, lol. Then add in some hilarious conversations with one of my younger colleagues about Nirvana and Milli Vanilli and really I felt my age emotionally too.

Today I have to cram in most of my work day to the morning and then I get my hair done this afternoon; when I had to reschedule because of this work trip, my choices were monday mid-day or March...not waiting to March here.

I will also need to hit the grocery store today and get some food for the week so my menu plan is week for today. I also need to get a quick rowing session in this morning, with so much travel I have to stay on point to get my 50 miles for Feb. Now, would I be able to row in any of the hotel gyms? Chances are high but it wouldn't track them on my iFit dashboard and just like steps don't count if you don't have your pedometer, apparently rowing doesn't count if it doesn't hit the YTD dashboard, lol.

Coffee plus half and half X 3

PB English muffin

yogurt

tbd on everything else

Have a wonderful monday everyone!!

oh, forgot the QOTD - I hold my breath or I ignore them; thinking about them makes them worse but distraction works!

Good morning QJB and menuers,

That meme is my brain every night! And just as I was drifting off again half an hour ago, the coyotes got started. Boo.my brain is also telling me that I forgot to pay for surgery and it's going to be canceled. Something I need to call about today.

Comfy shoes are great unless you have to pay for them later.

QOTD- Either measured breathing or holding breath. Most often the first, though I don't get hiccups much these days.

Got to head in to the office today. I'll be masking this week since I'm not sure if my hospital still tests for covid prior to surgery. They did in July. It's probably a moot point, though, since I'm getting braces Wednesday.

Today feels like I need a vacation to recover from going back to work...and I haven't even gone back yet!

Accountability- Detoxing from carbs. No more beignets and all. Ugh.

Exercise- Walking at lunch at the office.

Menu - Ratio yogurt, chicken tenderloins with parmesan and a small serving of risotto, probably not much else. Small diet cuts leading into Friday even though this is nothing like WLS prep.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

Glad you were able to get home! And that you're finding foods in your progression. I'm a salty over sweet, too. I think you weighed in months ago because I had a hard time with all the sweet shakes and such. You're doing great!

Sounds like you had a fun night!

I always wonder about how people can show so much skin in the sun but then, I pretty much glow in the dark. I wear long sleeves and long pants almost all the time. And mostly high necked shirts. Anytime I feel sun on my skin it literally feels like I start baking. All of that to say, it makes me cringe to see people with almost nothing on because I assume they bake, too!

Good luck with the Shamalan movie. That guy's plot twists...don't make a lot of sense.
