What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Good Monday morning!  It is pouring down rain here in CNY.  We certainly need it, but of course I couldn't find a single one of our eleventy billion umbrellas when I left the house so my hair is a hot mess.  LOL  Guys, I'm out early today to see my doc about my terrible sleep.  It's really awful lately.  Last night I woke up at 1am and didn't fall back to sleep until 5am.  And then I didn't hear my alarm so I was late for work.  This **** cannot continue!

QOTD!  Favorite dessert!  LOL  I know, I know...but tell me.  This (former) fat girl loves allllll kinds of sweets, but my most favorite restaurant type dessert is a brownie sundae.  Awww yeah...warm brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge.

Very cloudy with rain anticipated here in Illinois too. I got my 3.2 miles in early already. Lily was being stubborn today so did half with me then sat in the car with Windows cracked and a bowl of water. Now she's pouting but maybe we'll learn to come when called. Not even touching the QOTD because my mind does not need to go There! I will also walk another 2 miles tonight after dinner if it's not raining.

Give me something with peanut butter and I'll be your friend for life. Peanut butter pie? Yes, please. Cake with peanut butter icing? OMG, yeeees. Some sort of peanut butter mousse? Yaaas. 

Peanut butter.

AV, I'm glad to hear you're talking to the doc about your sleep issues - good sleep has so much to do with overall wellness AND weight loss/control, so it will be interesting to hear what is said.

Hey yall

We had a busy weekend and didn't get in until 4 yesterday- then had to get the 4 pups at the dog sitters house and grocery shop, not in that order of course. I ate pretty darn well this weekend being out- took tons of snacks with me and only ended up eating a few. Weight did not change so that is good.

QOTD; I would have to say donuts or a brownies. I used to love donuts more than cupcakes and other cakes. I also like caramel apples with chocolate and pecans on it. Oh and I LOVE marshmallows. hahaha- so much for picking 1- that is why I was 300 pounds...

DH went by a place called sublime donuts yesterday with amazing reviews. I was a good girl. I did only have a tiny crumb of one of them. DH ordered 6, ate 2, then ordered 2 more 'for the neighbors'. on the way home he said, man those were so good, I don't think they will be getting them now. The one that smells the best is a smore one with toasted marshmallow in the hole part. He was being sweet and hid them when we got home, but I was like- Dude, at least let me smell them if I can't eat them. so I will walk by and smell them sometimes since I know I cannot eat them.

Getting back on track this week with exercising. Been a slacker and that has to stop. We are leaving for vacation on sunday so this week will be crazy getting ready.

Yesterday I ate:

B: mission 1 bar/decaf/tiny crumb of a donut

L: taco bell chicken cantina bowl, no rice, beans or sour cream)

D: tilapia/broccoli

S: jennie o turkey breast stick/ww ice cream mini/csarbmaster yogurt
