Daily Menu - 4/17

[kristent78]

Good morning - late start this morning! Yesterday after work I went to the gym as planned, and then met up with my friends for dinner. The new restaurant was good; the butter chicken had a thinner sauce, but it was very flavorful. I'm excited to go again & try a few other items on the menu including Momo, and a previous favorite vegetable korma. The garlic naan was fantastic!! It was also nice getting home at a decent time without the long drive following dinner. Cody was hanging out with a friend and she came inside to visit for a few minutes. She's super sweet and really pretty... as of now they are just friends but we'll see!

This morning, the cleaners are coming to my house so I was tidying up and Mr. Cody had some science projects in cups in his room gotta love teenage boys. I was later leaving the house because of it and then the base gate was alllllllll backed up, ugh!!!!!! At least I'll go home to a clean house. Tonight, Cody and I have tattoo appointments with my usual guy at 5pm and then Brandon is coming over later. Would you believe both of my boys want to get matching tattoos with me?? Their mom?? I can't turn that down. It's possible Brandon & I will run out of time to complete our set but if so I'll let him go first as I am more flexible with work. We'll see how it goes. This will be Cody's first of course and Brandon has several. I need to see who has more, him or me??!! I love tattoos. Anyhow, that will be my evening!

Have a nice Wednesday.

B: protein water, banana, Kind protein bar
L: salad w/ grilled chicken and diet soda
D: I'm going to make taco meat after work since I thawed ground beef and then Cody can eat that and I'll probably have some as well. Then maybe a later snack?
Exercise: none today

Another quiet night. I was disappointed to learn that our friends from Long Island will not be making the trip for the Charity Ball as she has a bad case of the flu. She hasn't missed one in probably 30+ years. I should run to Walmart after work but I'll see how the day pans out.

S - Usual coffee
B - English muffin with lite cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers, cucumber salad
L - Tuna on roasted red peppers with fig & olive crisps
D - Chuck steak w/sauteed mushrooms and onion, French green beans
E - Walking and stretching

Good morning! Busy start today. I had a doctor's appointment at 9:30 and a Zoom conference at 10:30 I had to hurry home for (I could have done it on my phone at a coffee shop on the way back if needed, but fortunately made it home in time.) I worked out before logging on this morning so at least have that out of the way. It's supposed to rain later but was nice out for the walk to the doctor this morning. I'll try to get outside at least once more early this afternoon before the rain starts.

Yesterday was gorgeous, and I drove to a park near my office at lunchtime to sit outside and read and then walked around the pond. Lots of others had the same idea but there is plenty of space and seating there so it was perfect. Cam grilled burgers, green beans, cauliflower and pineapple for dinner so that hit the spot, and it was great grilling weather. We need to get our back patio cleaned and set up again to start spending more time out there as the weather gets/stays nicer. It's going to cool off tomorrow but should be a decent weekend. No plans tonight.

A: Peloton.. 40 min cardio HIIT, 20 min upper body strength

B: fried egg and avocado on 2 slices light whole wheat toast
S: leftover cauliflower
L: leftover crockpot chicken enchilada orzo
S: banana
D: cauliflower pistachio and date salad.. kind of a random combo and will probably add a few other things in but sounded interesting!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Plans:

Cody picked out a pinky promise tattoo that has color behind it. He wants his on his forearm but unsure about my location. I already have a colorful heart on my wrist on my right arm.

Brandon and I picked a skeleton hand doing the "I love you" gesture with flowers at the bottom. Thinking our birth month flowers (poinsettia and poppy). This is fitting since we are both into spooky stuff and he's not big on mushy stuff!

We'll see how things turn out
