Black Friday

B egg/beans
L 3 oz (approx) turkey 3/4 C green bean casserole, green salad w/ Ken's asian
S 1/2 C ww stuffing yogurt
D Baked sweet potato w icbnb , 3 oz burger on ww mini bagel
S turkey 'scraps' dried apricots



short walk
finished most of my "take home" leftovers

I made turkey broth, from turkey carcass..........
I did my shop local Friday.... (I plan to make this a monthly event)............in a great hardware store that has been around for 60 years that I know about, and a little local pet store .......
also found a darling 'antique' chair in recently opened resale warehouse in the neighborhood ......run by 3 college age kids who created jobs for themselves.... buying leftovers from estate sales, garage sales and auctions. Restoring this will make a nice little winter project, and a much needed "extra' chair for family dinners.
I was actually looking for a gravy boat to replace the one I gave to my DIL, I did find the perfect one.

Hey there Lakegran!

Nice find on the chair! I am envious of your talents to fix things up. My daughter and her husband are going to fix up a VERY old sewing machine (wooden) and I'm fascinated with how something all weather worn can turn into a thing of such beauty. You should take before and after pics!

By the way, your menu sounds pretty lean. (Light!) Are you losing a lot?

[lakegran2]

Sunday
mornin' Ky
I should be clearer about portion sizes.The soup was a brimming 2 cup bowl of hearty turkey broth, with lots of turkey, veggies and rice noodles. I was so yummy! cereal is 8 oz. milk
But......you are right Saturday was pretty light
and.......I am not getting enough veggies in.
I guess this seems better to me than going back to a Phase one ( where I CAN gain lbs. )
Yes I have high hopes for this chair.........I live alone so I can throw down a tarp in the middle of my "great' room and take my time.
I will require a lot of hand sanding ( paint drips) but I listen to books on tape an have at it.....

B spinach omelet ( whites and 1 whole egg
L 2 salmon lettuce wraps
D small baked potato with turkey in gravy ( the absolute last ) 1/2 C spinach, 3/4 C butternut squash w/icbinb
S Cereal w/ blackberries

water good but totally sedentary.

Shooting for 160 by Christmas will give me some wiggle room.

Water good

It's kind of funny lake, my girlfriend has lived in florida her whole life and has never seen snow, so she wants to go somewhere for her birthday to see some. Whereas a lot of times up north i remember dreading the snow coming. Being active is a huge step in the right direction even if its not dedicated running or jogging ect. Take care and good work!

Hey Lake!! We had snow here in Colorado, too! My neighbor beat me to the shoveling, though. They say that's a GREAT workout!! Your menus sound so good!

[ladybugmom]

No!! No snow!! Just don't share with your neighbors here in Kansas okay? Have a good weekend!

[Kyan]

What the heck? How could WE get snow in Colorado and you not get any in Kansas? You are right next door!

[*Kuki*]

My son-in-law is from Garden City Kansas. I've been there once. Very nice town

I know what you mean about the snow. We used to live near Amarillo and when it snowed, I swear these people did not know how to drive in it. I enjoyed the snow as long as I stayed off the roads.

Your menus do sound good. Gives me some ideas so I don't get into a rut.
