What's on your menu today(Wednesday) RNYers?

Hi Friends! How are you all? Things are good here! Its supposed to get Sunny and warm up here this week, high 30s to low 40s, hey its not warm but its not minus and crazy windchill's.

Accountability: ate exactly what I planned. I indulged at the Pot Luck and it was great. Back on plan today

QOTD: Do you bundle your mobile phone/internet/cable to one provider and if you do are you happy with them? Here in Ontario there is NOT a huge selection of providers, nothing like you guys in the US. But the provider we are with is called "Rogers," we have been with them for over 20 years. I consider them pretty expensive and the service is excellent. For the last month we have been having internet issues with them and we are not too happy and we keep hoping they will resolve it soon.

Up early doing laundry before we start our workday here at camp. Hubby and I are at Uskichitto Retreat Center in LaBlanc,Louisiana. There is sort of internet so hope I can get this posted. Accountability has been great and weight is down to 118.4 today. We've been cutting and dragging brush and small trees for the last two days then we come back to the camper and eat supper and then Lily and I walk for an hour. That's the last thing I want to do after a hard day but she is my buddy and needs her exercise too. The camp is beautiful and there are tons of places for us to walk.Its a miracle to me that I'm able to do this--it would have been impossible 6 years ago before surgery. This surgery has changed my life in so many incredible ways! I'm thankful every single day. Food for today B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 4 oz deli ham and cheese with mustard 3 dill pickles D 31/2 oz ribeye 1/2 c green beans S 5 oz cottage cheese with 1 T no sugar added strawberry jam. Have a great day all and make some smart and conscious choices that head you closer towards your goals! Pics to follow of camp and one of three piles of brush we've cleared. There are three other retired couples and a single retired widow. Hubby and I are next to the youngest at 58. The youngest are a couple from North Carolina who are 56.

So happy that you and Lily are able to get out and walk! Take care and have fun!

Yay!! I have been missing you. I am glad you're getting to do this. You are amazing.

Beautiful pictures, Karen!

Glad you are enjoying yourself. Have fun

We have a couple of families at our church who si missions work like this. One group belongs to Campers on Mission, I think that's the name and the other family helps build new churches. They go in when the bldg is dried in and fini**** up. Seems like rewarding work.

Good morning menu folks!

I have a confession to make...I've had a fling with some doughnuts. It's been lonely and I've been bored here at home recovering from surgery. I've been good about eating plenty of protein, but I've also been walking to the Dunkin Donuts and getting a doughnut and coffee alot of days. It is a nice walk and it feels like such a nice treat to myself. I've decided though that it is time to break it off. I need to get back on plan and kick the doughnuts to the curb. As of today, no more doughnuts.

I'm also struggling with feeling really tired. I have a couple of days that I feel good and feel like doing things. For instance yesterday it was sunny and not too cold (windy though) and after I signed out of telework, I went outside and picked up branches from our yard that have blown down in all of the wind. I just worked for half any hour, but it was alot of bending up and down that wore out my recovering abdomen. No bleeding, but lots of aching and I am really tired today. I am also doing about 6-7 hours of telework a day and the sitting up is amazingly tiring. I have to make myself lay down and rest every couple of hours. Sigh! I'm ready to feel all better!
