The Menu
When I was contacted by Caroline from The Tampa Bay Lady Bloggers to blog about PDQ earlier this month, I was thrilled. My brother lives in North Carolina where they have a restaurant called Tenders. PDQ was started under the name
Tenders. We have eaten there many times.
PDQ is known for its fresh chicken tenders, made to order sandwiches, hand-spun milkshakes and fresh-cut daily fries. According to their web site, it was founded on the concept that high-quality food, memorable service and genuine hospitality were the cornerstones to a great restaurant. Well, let me be the first to tell you that they did that and then some!!! Not only did we LOVE our visit, but my son has decided that he is going to take his friends there for dinner on Friday for his birthday party! I will be blogging about that next week so that you can see what other 8 and 9 years old are saying!
As we walked in, the hospitality was overwhelming! There were so many smiling faces greeting us. Dorothy, from North Carolina and St. Pete's own, Kelsey from Canterbury were two people who wowed us with their kindness and genuine hospitality. It's obvious that PDQ is making great choices with the people they are hiring.
I had to take my picture with them because these two were so memorable! Stop in this week to see Kelsey on the left and Dorothy on the right.
Bryce got a table where he could see two TVs
My son, Bryce, was wowed by the big screen TVs. This kid hates missing a football game, so he was satisfied with that alone! They even gave him a PDQ t-shirt!
We were told right away about the menu and even heard about some of the "must-try" items. I knew that I need to try the grilled turkey sandwich! YUM! My mom had the crispy turkey sandwich. My dad and Bryce stuck with the Chicken Tenders. Believe me it was definitely a hard choice.
For side items we tried the fresh apple slices with toffee dip (oh my gosh! You have to have this! I cannot wait to go back for more.) We also had their freshly cut fries, and I do think I have a new favorite french fry!!! And my dad tried the fresh coleslaw with blueberries (who would have thought? And so delish!)
They also have a really cool soda machine that Bryce loved using. He thought it was really cool. At first he wanted sweet tea, but when he saw all of the soda choices, he couldn't resist using the cool machine. Grandma helped, but he made sure she knew he could do it by himself! I, on the other hand, had to go with the hand-spun strawberry milkshake... Yes I went off my diet, but there will real strawberries in it! It was to die for!
Another really cool thing was that one of my father's former football players, Jimmy, is the manager there. He is a great guy! Stop in and tell him you saw him and Coach on Mindy's Fitness Journey!
How amazing does this food look!!!!
And we look PDQ (Pretty Darn Q-ute)
if I don't say so myself!
Check out our in-restaurant Vlog It was loud in there, it's kind of hard to hear. Bryce did the videoing... you will see his fingers a few times! :) Oh and by the way, I am not dipping the apples in coffee, it's toffee!
So it's time to move on and make good choices. I am going to tell you my plans tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions for me? How can I get past this hump and stay focused?

How cute is this "Football Mom" t-shirt?? I asked Ruffles with Love to put Football Mom on this shirt. She created it with the cute red and white polka bow herself! I love it!

Pretty Muddy here I come!
Last night, I had an awesome opportunity to meet a few bloggers and the founder of Pretty Muddy Mud Run. This is a race that is for women only and will be taking place in Tampa on Nov. 10th. I am going to have a discount code soon.
As you all know, I love mud runs! There is really nothing more fun than playing in the mud with some of your best friends...
I will be sharing more about the Pretty Muddy mud run soon! If you want to find out more about them
I am also going to get myself right with my eating. This injury is not going to be my excuse to sabotage myself anymore!!! DONE! No More!! :) October Goal: Get back into being healthy, injury or not!
So, I didn't get the news I so desperately wanted to hear! I went to the doctor yesterday and I explain it all here in my vlog:
But it is going to be OK! I know this is going to make me stronger and it will make my story even better!
In Doggy News:
As for Adi, my dog. She has been diagnosed with diabetes. I have now given her two shots of insulin, and I realize now that we can handle this. I went back to my regular vet and everything seemed better once I got there. They really love my dog. Anyone who lives in the Tampa Bay area should check out Dr. Anthony at Forida Vet Clinic in St. Petersburg. Thank you to everyone who offered support!!
OK, she isn't a puppy, but I have to share that my sweet Adi-girl is sick. I am taking her to the vet today and hoping to find some way to treat her. It appears that she has diabetes :( Think happy thoughts for her! Think positive thoughts for me please!!
In my vlog below you may notice that my eyes are puffy! I had been crying. My sweet Adi is 13 years old, and she has to be healthy! I cannot imagine my life without her! She has an older brother who would just be lost without her!
Here is my vlog from yesterday. It is my response to TGI Friday's response to my vlog from Sunday!
