What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

We must be the same age!  And my real name is Cory.  We must be soul sisters. Haha.

Doing well on AMAW, not as exciting as the first time but I think that is because of lack of preparation. I am plugging away though. 

QOTD the chipmunks!!!  I bought it at Target and loved it til it fell apart. 

Yesterday I had a 2 shakes,   beef stick, burger with no bun. 

 

Today I am working on a shake so far.

Well, I failed AMAW-C yesterday, I ate off plan.   We went to Outback, and I had good intentions, I promise.   I couldn't even make it past the bread, I went in hungry.   Then 2 bites of sweet potato, then 3 coconut shrimp.   So I am disqualified from the contest,, boo!   I am going to try to at least keep posting here though, it keeps me accountable.   I am going back to my regular foods now though.

Well, this is going to date me, bwahaha! I bought two cassette tapes for my 14th birthday. One was Tiffany. I don't remember the album name...might have been "Tiffany". And the second was Def Leopard, "Hysteria".

Foooouuurrrr days till surgery! I'm really feeling better on my pre-op. Yesterday and today my energy has been better. I guess I'll survive after all.

Lunch- vanilla triple zero Greek yogurt. Chicken broth.

Snack- Celebrate deep chocolate shake w/1% milk. Maybe decaf coffee.

Good luck with your surgery.  Make sure you sip and walk when they allow.

 

Good afternoon everyone!  I'm late because I was home all morning waiting for the Cable Guy.  Finally made it to work with internet about an hour ago.  I've been having fun reading everyone's 1st albums - what a great question.

First of all - AMAW-C is yet another huge success for me.  I haven't slipped up at all.  Not even one bite of all the things I'm missing:  crackers, cookies, FRUIT!, tomatoes... etc.  Since I started on Sunday night at 5pm, I only have about 27 hours left - I SO GOT THIS!!

My favorite part is that I'm not doing it to lose weight, but more to kick the carb cravings - but I've lost 5.8 pounds as of this morning.  It's okay - I'm 135.4 today... still within normal BMI limits.  And that means I have a 6-8 pound buffer for Mom's big birthday blowout all weekend (Italian Food Friday, and Chinese Sunday - plus all those yummy nectarines and peaches in my fridge are still good - yaaay!

QOTD:  Elton John:  Yellow Brick Road.  It released in 1973 - I was 11 years old.  Learned every word to every song and knew them all by heart.  #2 was Elton John:  Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy (same as G2GAWAY).

PS:  I'M LOVING MY NEW GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL - How did I ever live without it???

I have Elton John songs galore on my iPod. It is amazing how many you can sing all the words to even when you haven't heard them in a while.

Our stats are even so similar. I definitely have watched your transformation along the way. My starting weight was 305, goal weight 155 (even though I am a bit shorter-only 5'7").  I've been sort of stable at this weight for a month or so and hovering right at 153-155, but want to lose more and aspire to get closer to where you are. For now, I am continuing to work out with a trainer and focusing on protein.
