What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Your Fez is very cute! Their little feline minds are something, aren't they?

Thanks for your comment re: taking in 700 calories. I haven't had that much yet but I have been taking in 650. Losing still, but slowly. I'll see how I do this month, and if necessary, I will do my best to cut back a bit. With 50 pounds still to lose, I really don't want to mess around or take any longer than I have to!

Good Morning Julia and Menu Family!

Wishing you lots of good mojo, Julia!

QOTD: What I do most days. Drink coffee and mess around on the computer, hang out with Saralisa and the pets, tend to my houseplants, take the dog(s) for a walk, read, just hang out. In the summertime I like to swim, but I don't feel comfortable in a swimming suit now days due to saggy skin.

G'morning all! JB, sending lots of good work news mojo your way.

I'm excited today for two reasons. 1) My surgeon's coordinator has asked me to talk at the seminar they hold for new patients. It's the same seminar I attended when I was getting ready for surgery and I remember the person who talked at ours. I kept looking at her and thinking there is no way I can lose weight the way she has. But here I am, not at goal but presentable enough that they asked me to speak. 2) DD is coming home from college, finally. I'll pick her up after my little presentation around 8:30 pm. So happy she'll be home all summer long. She hasn't been home since Xmas.

QOTD: because DD wasn't home for mother's day I decided to postpone my mother's day celebration so we are doing something fun next Sun with both kids. There's a goat farm up the coast where they let you pet/play with the goats. Then they have a store where you can buy everything goat related. I'm looking forward to the goat cheese. After that a nice walk to the light house and more walk on the beach. And then off to dinner. So that's my perfect day.

Accountability: hmmmm! There was an extra portion of curry cauliflower with peas! Saw it at TJ's and bought it on impulse. I should not buy on impulse!

B: protein shake

L: chicken fajita (last night's dinner because I ate above said curry cauliflower)

S: cheese

D: in-n-out protein style burger. DD wants to stop at in-n-out on our way home.

Happy Tue to everybody.

Congrats on your speaking engagement, I hope it goes well.

Thanks Kelly. Keeping fingers crossed!

How very affirming of your success and your resolve that you've been asked to speak today! That is really nice! The thing I miss possibly the most about CA is my surgeon/surgery center, they really were the best! Good luck today - I know you'll do great!

Thanks Cara!

Yay for all your good news :)

I am on the west coast so usually post later... today though my husband and I have dentist appointments to start the day. So here I am, bleary eyed and a little bit cranky.

Qotd: I am very lucky I don't have to work. What started as time off between jobs because of an awful employer became emotional time off because of the loss of my mom, then physical time off because of my migraines and bad lower back. Lately though my husband has said that I don't need to work because for now at least it makes taxes easier. Which is true given that I used to be a nanny. I pretty much stay home and quilt and before surgery I worked out. I call it my "possibly temporary early retirement".

Accountability: On point yesterday although water drinking came mostly later in the day.
