Good morning Jennifer and menu friends!
I'm back from swimming and starting to feel like I'm in holiday mode. I have a few things to do today: stay on my emails, CrossFit, clean up the dining room table and my car and pick DD up at the airport. But I definitely feel like the hard part is behind me.
Last weekend I did a pre-holiday weight in. I respect the people who weigh every day, but I don't feel like I'm up to dealing with the stress of the day to day vagaries. I was 206.4, we will see where I end up in January. I have an endocrinologist appointment on New Year's Eve, so I need to bear that in mind.
The holiday is going to be about 4 F's: family, food, football, fitness. Tomorrow is a 5k followed by a brief after race tailgate before heading back home for the day. Friday, swimming starts two hours late, so I can sleep in.
QOTD: Pretty traditional.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: sandwich
Dinner: Steak
Have a great day, all!

Woo Hoo it's Wednesday!!! I'm out of work at 10:30 and have a couple of quick errands to run then to get home and get things ready for tomorrow. Irvin's got the kitchen cleaned and some things already out in preparation of making the sides and the pie. Other than that nothing else going on today.
QOTD: Are you a traditional Christmas person or do you do something different? After years of Christmas trees and decorations and all that jazz I told Irvin I want to do something different this year. We will be celebrating Yuletide and making a Yule log. He even brought home the perfect birch log for us to decorate. I honestly haven't been this excited for the holiday season in a long time.
B: coffee and protein shake
Lunch and Dinner are up in the air today as I honestly don't have anything planned.
Have a great day everyone!!
Oh and don't forget to set your scale back 15lbs tonight. LOL

Hey gang. More getting ready for the holiday. I like the straightening up, but I dislike cleaning down low. Down low sucks.
QOTD: I've never traveled more than a short drive for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I know it's common, but I really don't know anyone who does. It doesn't seem like fun.

Good morning, everyone!
I am about halfway through my busy spot. Dinner was fine last night, I ordered an elk chop that was very good. My doctors appointment this morning was pretty uneventful. I have been having some ringing in my ear, so I'm going to have a hearing test.
Made it into the office for my call, I need to do one thing, lunch and I'm taking off after that. Hopefully back in the burbs for 2:30 CrossFit. Tomorrow I have swimming at 6:00 AM and then I will feel like I'm in holiday mode.
QOTD: We have spent Thanksgiving in Florida a couple of times, and gone to family in New England a couple of times.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: steak
Dinner: pasta
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning Jen and Meneurs.
Well, if you think your Meisha is a little diva, go ahead and get that English. I had a Lab in the past that would do everything to please you. He was amazing. He would get your shoes and get the paper. He would go out and do his bathroom breaks on his own. Nothing ever bothered him he truly was a great all-around dog. My English lives so that I do everything for him. To the point that when he comes in the house, he makes me wipe his bum. He will stare at me until I do what he wants. He has a low growl to let me know when I am not fulfilling his needs and the constant petting. We have to have 1/2-hour petting sessions. I will be watching a movie and not paying attention then all of a sudden, he will come flying off the floor and land in my lap with no warning, because I wasn't paying attention. I tell him he's a good boy but, in all reality, he is so f'n cute I let him get away with everything.
QOTD: No, I have always been in my hometown for the holiday.
Accountability: I had one small cookie
TSS: 6 years 11-months 15-days 168.2 Lowest (129.4)

MS: snack select, plain Greek yogurt I added Rasins cinnamon and nuts. clementines
CB: Coffee with SF ID Caramel Macchiato creamer
L: Chili and pork and sauerkraut
D: hotdogs

Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest blessings
Chrissy

We used to travel to Joe's family in West Virginia every other year for Thanksgiving. It was about 250 miles so a good part of the morning. I have a memory of driving back late at night on a very icy road next to the Ohio River. It was a very dark,curvy road, and terrifying. I love traveling on a dry road in the daytime. I had Thanksgiving at my house every year for a long time. I have family in North Carolina and they own a resturant. They will have a big Thanksgiving dinner. One year, I will go there for the holiday. But this year just across town to my sister's house.
I am a cat lover. I think Persian cats are cute with squashy faces. One cat I would love to have owned is the Bengal cat. They are half Asian wild cat and look like little leopards. I would only have one if I lived in a large house with a lot of room for it to play. They are very active and also can be very destructive, but so unusual.

Good mornin y'all!
two appointments today. Ugh. PT and my PCP. One right after the other so a total of at least three hours away from home, can you tell I'm a homebody? lol
Yesterday's appointment went better than I had hoped. Only an hour and a half but it was only the testing. One stick for the dye test! Woo! I go back next Monday and that'll be the one that will be a longer wait.
I found out SS is saying they overpaid me so I owe them almost 500 dollars over the past three years. They'll take almost a hundred dollars a month starting next year to pay it back. I had tried to earn a little extra money to pay off my dental bill debt. How dare I. Just perturbed.
QOTD: for most of my life, if not all, thanksgiving has been here in my hometown. Usually at this house which was my grandparents. I've never traveled more than 15 miles to attend thanksgiving dinner.
B: eggs, cheese and coffee.
L: ???
D: air fryer orange chicken thing we have had for a while in the freezer
hoping everyone has a wonderful day!
An older piece I designed. One of my favorite things to make is useless bobbles lol
