Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Friday 1/19/18

Morning! It's Friday again! This week has actually gone by pretty fast for me. I'm looking forward to only a few plans this weekend. We want to replace the silicone in our tub because it's way past needing to be done and I want to get together all mine and the girl's clothes that can be donated. Our school does a free clothing drive as part of winter fest (which is next weekend). I also am doing a paint and sip class (hold the sip in my case). I am not an artist, but this one is the northern lights and benefits Autism Speaks. Because my daughter's name is Aurora it's fitting.

QOTD: What is one word that people have used to describe you, that was surprising to you? Several times now my husband and my doctors have described as athletic. It always stops me in my tracks because I got the nickname 'wallflower' in gym class in high school because I couldn't force myself to participate!

12 months post-op/Maintenance/132.7lbs

M1: Premier Protein, Miralax, Coffee, HC

M2: Egg, Sausage, Cheese

M3: Salmon & Brussel Sprouts

M4: Chicken Sausage

M5: Yogurt w/ PB

E: 15 minutes of Yoga, we're on day 18 of a 21 day challenge. I ran 4.2 miles yesterday so I'll take a rest today from that.

M1: Chicken

M2: Oatmeal with PP

M3: Tuna and 3 Ritz crackers

M4: Have no idea! Maybe left overs?

M5: Cheddar cheese stick dipped in PB (I know, it's kind of weird, but I like it!)

E: I have physical therapy today....UGH!!!

QOTD: The word that surprised me the most was warmhearted. I thought everyone was kidding when they told me that it is not something you find in everyone.

B sauteed peppers onions mushrooms spinach potatoes and eggs with refried beans

L premier protein with coffee

D baja chicken with spinach and mozzarella

S popcorn

E -none it's too cold to walk.

QOTD - I've been described as skinny. I look around to see who they are talking about. I still think of myself as the fat one. A coworker was griping about being fat while eating cheetos from the snack machine. Another coworker said "Do what Amy does. She gets the cheetos, takes a bite or two and throws the rest in the trash then she walks on her breaks. She's skinny."

I think our "snow" days are finally behind us and the kids are back to school with their normal schedule. It will be a relief to get back into our routine after the holidays and then the weather throwing things off.

QOTD: no surprising descriptors yet!

B - coffee & PP

L - roast beef

D - Mahi Mahi with zucchini

s - a few almonds if needed

E - Super sore from Yoga the past two days, so I am thinking a nice walk.

Good morning,

Qotd when I get called skinny Minnie, I kind of laugh and my picture of a skinny Minnie is different from their version. I know I'm smaller but far from skinny.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D crack chicken and riced cauliflower

Have a good day

Happy Friday! It was 38 this morning when I went out walking, but it is supposed to get to 68 today thank goodness.

QOTD: Tiny. Really weird.

1 year, 10 months post-op

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Tuna salad, pickles and cottage chees

D: Crab cakes and smashed cauliflower (Rachel Ray recipe - really tasty) - not eaten yesterday because I had Thai food for lunch and finished it for dinner

S: Halo Top ice cream

Good morning, the sun is out today...thank goodness! The snow is so heavy that it pulled down the fence that keeps my dog in the yard. Had to go shovel it out and put it back up yesterday, can barely walk today! That's okay, a few years ago I would have had to call my neighbor to help me:-)

QOTD-Mine is the same as Yvonne's, "skinny Minnie."

B-Yogurt w/pumpkin, SF vanilla syrup and walnuts

L-PP shake

S-Chai tea w/cream & stevia, 1/2 apple and string cheese

D-Toppings off of supreme pizza, dinner salad

E-Walk with Emmy

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

QOTD; skinny. I wouldn't consider myself skinny but I'm smaller than most so I get their perception.

I've been out all day - fitness classes this morning and then lunch with my bereavement group friends. Now it's a quick visit to OH before I hunker down with my school work. Whee!

QOTD: Healthy always amazes me. I look around and wonder who the person is talking to because it's clearly not me!

1: protein shake
2: crispy shredded beef (and leftovers for DAYS)
3: lentil and spinach soup (it's not really soup, it's more like a dal curry)

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: zenga class, tai chi class, pilates class

So today, we cleaned out the master bedroom. It has been an uninhabitable room since Irma. I'm really hoping our adjuster gets our settlement done soon so I can begin the re-construction.

QOTD: Healthy. A grocery store clerk that we always chat with told my husband that I was looking very healthy. Hmmm... weird.

M1: Coffee, PP vanilla, miralax

M2: Egg, ribeye

M3: Beef snack stick

M4: Nothing (was too busy)

M5: Chinese chicken stick and one rib, insides of a shrimp egg roll (still haven't made that lasagna!)

S: Jerky or other protein forward snack if needed before bed

E: Nothing formal. Cleaning...

Water/Vits: on track
