What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning! I hope everyone had a nice weekend, and nice Easter, if you celebrated. It is Patriot's Day in Massachusetts, so no work today :) It is also Boston Marathon Monday, which has always been my favorite once a year sporting event. I watched it live a bunch of times when used to live 2 blocks from the finish line, and now I have a tradition of running on the treadmill while I watch it, to see how far I can go in the same of time as the elites take to cross the finish line. **Hint--not 26 miles. LOL.

QOTD: What do you do when you can't sleep? I used to like listening to very quiet podcasts, but now that my phone is also my alarm clock, I can't turn the volume that low. So I turn Netflix on my computer near my bed and put on a show on that will hopefully lull me back to sleep. Last night was a big fail, though, and I ended up watching tv all night. I have never taken pills or anything artificial unless I am very sick, but sometimes I think melatonin would be a good idea. Any other tips and tricks?

What a beautiful day yesterday was!! I sat out in the sun for awhile, washed and waxed my car, helped my daughter with hers, just nice to be out in the sun!!!

I am a horrible sleeper so I haven't found any tricks to getting back to sleep! I sleep a couple of hours then I am up for a couple of hours back and forth all night. It has been that way for 30 years! Yuck...lol

What recipe are you using for the cottage cheese pancakes? I haven't had any success with those, yet...

Good morning all. Posting before work today for a change. Hope e everyone had a great weekend. I just have to get through one more day and then I get one off.

QOTD: I'm lucky with the not being able to sleep issue, I don't seem to ever really have that issue. I do sleep with a fan near my bed year round and have the tv on low while I sleep. The tv is on both for noise for me, and for my fur babies. If they hear any noises they bark, so having the tv on keeps them from hearing stuff.

Menu:

B- Protein shake

L- Ricotta Bake

D- 3 oz Salmon

S - Herb and garlic tuna pouch

S- Triple Zero Greek yogurt

Have a great Monday everyone!!!

Morning!

Ok, so the scale gods are messing with me. I've been at my lowest weight since Friday am, and the scale hasn't budged since. Up or down. I'm usually pretty cool about weigh ins, but I am getting a little Happy Gilmore about it. "Go to your home" scale!

i have another new hire starting today, I'm excited and exhausted thinking about it already!

Qotd: I do a couple of things. I will pull up a really boring Wikipedia page and read it. It can't be anything slightly interesting. Also, I'm not religious, but I will recite prayers in my head repeatedly, like a meditation mantra. The repetitive nature of it makes me sleepy. I also do the podcast thing. If it's because I have something on my mind that's keeping me up, I might need the podcast plus reading to get myself out of my head long enough to fall asleep.

Menu:

B: protein shake

L: ill have to buy something today, we got a little too lazy yesterday after our visitors left...

D: I think I'll make taco meat, and lettuce cups.

S: skyr with bran buds

have a good one!

The scale gods can go to hell, right? Why do they mess with us like that?!?!? Hope you get to see the magic happy number tomorrow!

Good morning everyone!

Didn't give myself too much time this morning but I want to make this a pre work habit so quick is better than nothing.

QOTD I've had struggles with sleep at various times in my life and wish I had a solution for you. I've gone through phases where it seems like my body is attempting to become completely nocturnal and I haven't found anything that works too well for me. Not that I've tried much because I was hesitant of it becoming a need but disrupted sleep is tough to power through.

4+ months post op

B- coffee w/ 1/2 premier protein

L- I've packed a bunch of stuff and I have no idea what to expect today

Good morning JB and everyone!

A nice quiet Easter here. Took a little walk with my DH. Was a beautiful day out.

QOTD: I very rarely have any trouble sleeping but I have to take medicine for my restless leg syndrome with makes me drowsy anyway. I used to have issues ever night sleeping because of the RLS until my doctor diagnosed me. I do sleep with a fan on low too.

Menu:

Breakfast: egg, ham and cheese scramble.

Lunch: Sliced turkey and cheese rollups

Dinner: baked ham and maybe some baked beans

I had RLS as well but it went away immediately after my revision from lap. Band to RNY.

Do you get enough protein in with just 3 meals? I can't do it!
