Daisy! Good to "see" you. I'm sorry for your and your DH's loss, hope the drive is easy and the day is as good as can be expected.

QOTD - I do travel a lot and keep a protein powder single, usually a meat stick and cheese with me. I'm usually flying vs driving so I treacle with an empty thermal to go cup so I can feed my coffee addiction! I do try to hit the local grocery as well for deli meat and L&F greek whenever possible.

accountability was good yesterday!

menu

coffee + half and half

b - L&F greek

l - 4 oz deli black pepper turkey, .8 oz cheddar

d - 4 oz pepperoni and cheese bites

ex - Pilates (and maybe snow shoveling depending on how much sticks)

have a terrific Tuesday!

And the white stuff begins to fall

Happy Monday everyone!

I had a spectacular weekend - although I would not recommend the Tolkein movie; I didn't like it much but the 4 people I was with really liked it (even made the guys teary-eyed). Loved Wicked, froze at Trevor Noah but loved that too and had a fun day out getting glammed up with my bestie. Really a stellar weekend.

Got up early this weekend and watched the Game of Thrones finale -- I would love to see Jon Snow's fitbit stats for yesterday's episode.

QOTD - Part 1 - NSV would be just how easy it is to be in the world at a smaller size; Part 2 - try everything! You never know what you will like...and be prepared for what you like to change.

Accountability - even with all the activities, I was very protein forward but I did have an irish coffee saturday night after the show (we had to walk back in the cold rain and I was frozen). It was just preparation for today and tomorrows "winter storm warning".

Menu today

coffee with half and half

B - 4 oz deli turkey and .8 oz cheese slice

L - Buffalo Jalapeno Sausage

D - not sure

S - frozen L&F

Ex - pilates class

Have a magnificent monday!

Welcome back Julia! Glad for the cancer free report and hope that now that this is behind you, you'll be able to focus on getting out of that crazy place you work at! You are right about life being too short.

If you hear about a woman being arrested at RR on Sunday...it might be because I tried:-)

such a cutie!

My all time favorite is Avenue Q...but Wicked is #2. I was actually telling my bestie "I don't think I can justify seeing Wicked again...but I really want to"..and she said she'd never seen Wicked so that's how I justified it, lol.

Good morning Daisy! Glad to see you out here but so sorry you are still fighting with the migraines; hoping the better weather comes your way and that helps.

QOTD - I have a queen, i ordered it online from a company called Saatva....I love it but I did not do a good job measuring the mattress and box springs combined height...and now I use a step stool to climb into bed, lol.

Busy weekend for me here - meeting friends to see the Tolkein bio pic tonight and have dinner; tomorrow my bestie and I have a girls day planned including staying downtown at a chi-chi hotel and seeing Wicked with brunch and some book storing on Sunday before she heads home and I head to see Trevor Noah at Red Rocks. I'll be exhausted on monday but so worth it.

For the other Skinny Syrup peeps - I just found a bottle of lemon elderflower which I think is going to go nicely in some iced tea or jazz up plain water over the summer!

Menu today

Coffee and more coffee and then water/tea

B - cin raisin cottage cheese (Daisy, I am so sad you can't get this up there)

L - 3 oz black pepper deli turkey and .8 oz cheddar

D - will be out but thinking Berry-Aspargus salad with grilled chicken

S - will take a power crunch bar to the movies just in case I get the urge to snack; it's not even a full two hour movie though so should be ok.

Have a fantastic Friday and great weekend all.

*edited to add photo friday -- in honor of Sunday's Game of Thrones finale, here are some of my pictures of "kings landing" (Dubrovnik, Croatia). The bell tower played a pivotal role in last week's episode; the photo looking down is the "map room" and then those are the steps up to the Red Keep. (Dubrovnik is an amazing city, even without Game of Thrones).

are the enlightened bars as good as a frozen L&F? I noticed on some of them the nuitutional info is similar but wasn't sure about the taste.

Good morning!! Happy to be home and realizing what a busy stretch I have coming up, I suspect that is what had me up and going at 1:50 this morning.

qotd - Ice cold watermelon salad (watermelon, feta, basil and lime). I didn't try any last summer but might have a few bites this year!

menu

B - cin raisin cottage cheese

l - 4 oz black pepper deli turkey, .8 oz cheddar

s - L&F greek

d - tbd as I have a new bookclub tonight. I do have a cheese stick and a meat stick for dinner I'd there are no good options

have a terrific thursday

You have been having a physically tough couple of weeks! Hope it gets better!

Some days (and some places) are easier than others to stay on plan during travel, that's for sure!

the brisket was chopped and scrambled in the eggs, like ham sometimes is. It was not to my taste but the brisket last night at dinner was divine! Tender, smoky and delish.
