What's on your Photo Friday Menu?

Good morning after the big Northeast storm. It didn't amount to much on Cape Cod, but did set records in Boston. Unbelievably our 11:15 am flight is on-time and at the gate!

QOTD: To me success is completely around long-term maintenance. I lost many times over my lifetime only to regain more than I lost every time. I was always either gaining weight or on a diet (usually the former). The last 13 months of maintaining in my range is the first time in my life that I have been able to do so.

1 year, 9 months post-op

B: eggbeaters, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Protein bar

D: ????

S: Broad beans

Picture is of the pretty downtown of the town we live in on Cape Cod:

I really want to see Cape Cod sometime - that picture is breathtaking.

Glad you aren't delayed getting home. Love that pic-beautiful.

OMG, that is such a beautiful picture! You live in a Hallmark town, lol.

What a beautiful festive picture,Liz! Have a safe and fun trip too.

So glad that you didn't have problems with your flight. Also really relieved that you are safe and sound in MA.

Hi guys,

It's super cold here, -27 C, with a wind chill of -37 C (which is -34.6 F for my US friends). So stupid cold, and dangerously cold, with the wind. I can't leave the house when it's this bad as it triggers my asthma right away, so I'll either ride my exercise bike or play some active Kinect games today.

QOTD: I haven't read the post yet, but I define my success as a number of things, watching the scale go down, getting to wear smaller sizes, feeling more comfortable with myself, and lack of pain while walking, etc. I love how I can ride my bike without needing my asthma meds, and really miss my bike. Winters are too long here in Northern Ontario, Canada.

Accountability: Terrible! My family had yet another unplanned party last night and the house was full of chips, cheesies, pizza, cookies, cake, pie, Italian pastries, etc. I was pretty good until I sat at the couch talking to my cousin. Without thinking I ate some chocolate and OMG, I felt awful after. I didn't eat a lot, but it wasn't planned or wanted, I just ate it unthinkingly...no idea why as I wasn't even craving it.

Breakfast: decaf with premier protein, cheese string, clementine

Lunch: chicken

Supper: garlic shrimp

Snack: pepperette, cheese string, clementine

*if urge to eat some of the zillions of left over party treats arises, I will have either a Quest peanut butter cup, quest chips, or sugar free gummies (0 carb, high fibre). I am so sick of having foods I can't have in the house!

Photos: Me at Christmas, snowy walk the other day when it was warm enough to go out and still breathe (-11).

I hear you on the mindless eating- we've all been there. Being aware is the key though. I've noticed my youngest eats mindlessly- he can sit and eat while doing something else and not even realize how much he's eating. I have to help him with it as he's already struggling with weight.

Thanks, Teena. Yeah, mindless for sure. If I would have been thinking at all, I wouldn't have eaten that.I know I can't have chocolate. I didn't even realize what I had done until it was in my mouth already.

Great pics!
