What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
No rain here finally! Sorry you got soaked, that is not a fun way to start the work day.
I tend to wear solid dress pants and a solid shirt to work. Lately I have been adding in more patterns and brighter colors. I don't feel like the Kool-Aid man anymore when I wear something bright.
So just to pat myself on the back some....As of this morning I am at my lowest weight in 15 years!! And I weigh two pounds less than my husband.
3 1/2 months since surgery
B-premier chocolate shake (my last two days were alittle off the rails so went back to basics)
S-pear
L-chicken chunks with Hollandaise sauce
S-jello temptation
D-grocery shopping tonight so I have an Atkins frozen meal to try before we go. I cannot smell the bakery on an empty stomach
Nice! People keep telling me I look good at the weight I am, but in my mind I am like "What? I am a woman I need to be below 200" Nice to be less than your husband. Plus they are used to seeing me so big, this looks 'skinny' to them. LOL.

I really think after a while you just have to do what you know needs to be done, and ignore the comments. I think people mean well, its just difficult to see us looking so different. I don't even talk about the weight ive left to lose to people anymore, I just keep on doing what im doing and watch those lbs slipping off one at a time (although its slowing way down now), as long as they continue down, im happy!
I love your uniform. I add three new Black T-shirts to my collection this week and one white. I was at a vets charity event this weekend and got an event T-shirt and a Marines T-shirt both black, then I had ordered 2 T-shirts (which I forgot until they arrived so it was like Christmas) from a small webstore that I like the sayings on, One says "choose gratitude" the other says "choose joy" .... I ordered larges wish I got mediums.
My summer uniform whenever possible is a bathing suit with some kind of flowy dress thrown over it. I love summer. Having a pot luck dinner/pool Party/ladies meeting with the women from church at my house tonight. We do it every year, we call it the "Salad and Swim" We also usually have a church BBQ and baptism in my backyard every year...but the Pastor hasn't said anything and while I enjoy it, it is a lot of work. I may let it slide... last year I did it a couple of weeks after my surgery....had about 100 people in my backyard... it was crazy.
B: Tea, Strawberry White Chocolate cheesecake protein smoothie (Vanilla protein powder, almond milk, 1/4 cup ricotta or cottage cheese, 2 TBSP SF White chocolate syrup, a few frozen strawberries)
L: Chicken Salad, stir fry veggies
D: Potluck - making guac and salsa...with chips and maybe cuke slices so I have an alternative to chips, and going to make a gluten free, SF tart with fresh blueberries and peaches.
Skipping snacks, because I am sure there will be some snacking/grazing at the pot luck and healthy dessert.
E: Swim - my back is bothering me so no self-defense classes for nowVitamins: yes

Morning all! I work in a office where the dress code is casual. It drives me insane sometimes! When I first started I noticed the lady that was above me would wear jeans, tshirts and flip-flops. I despised that. Most of the time I wear dresses, but today I have finally joined the crowd and am sporting a t-shirt, jeans and flip-flops. I figured it was payday and plus I didnt want to have to shave my legs this am. LOL
B: Premier Protein Shake
S: Plain Greek Yogurt with squirt of davinci syrup
L: Ham and Beans (YUMMMM!!)
S: Jack Links Hot and Spicy Beef Jerky
D: Ham slice and grilled zuchinni and squash
Heres to a great day! Any other mothers out there counting down the days til school starts? 21 days, YAY!!
