What's on your menu Wednesday, RNYers?
Good morning OH friends! It's back to work I go after a lovely snow day yesterday - sleeping in (a little), hair dying, nail polishing, knitting, (2!) movie watching, exercising, shopping, and book clubbing made the day so nice and relaxing. Though I can't say it prepared me for today when my afternoon calendar literally has 4 things happening at the same time every hour between 12 and 5 - we'll see how that all works out...
Today is day two of my 5-Day Super Low Carb Challenge and challenge really is the word for it. Back when I was eating 800 calories a day, staying at 50 carbs was pretty doable, now, eating at 1200 calories it is much more challenging. I made it happen yesterday, even though I had two crackers and two little cookies at book club. We'll see how things go today!

Good Morning! Still cold here; -12 according to the temp gauge in the Jeep. Although the forecast for tomorrow is 30. It's a heat wave! For the first time in a long time, I don't have any activities to attend after work. No basketball, no Scouts. Nothing. It feels glorious. And my own little NSV: yesterday I actually hit my water goals, took all of my vitamins AND ate what I planned. LOL

Good morning! It's hump day 
and although I keep willing it to be Thursday it just doesn't seem to be happening... I desperately need to get back on the exercise horse. Yet again I made excuses last night and didn't go. Tonight is the night!
Anny, your day sounds amazing! I need one of those right about now. Although I'm afraid it would consist of cleaning, mopping, laundry, and organizing. My house is such a disaster right now and my in-laws are coming to stay next week to take care of the kids while we are on vacation :) My mother-in-law is one of those neat freaks so I know what my weekend is going to be filled with. Anyone have any quick cleaning tips?
B: SF Latte and 1/2 ThinkThin Bar (never got to it yesterday)
S: Coffee with creamer
L: 1/2 Starbucks Protein Bistro Box (leftover)
D: Chicken sausage and cheese tortellini casserole
W/V: Started
E: MUST WORKOUT! Even if its just a few minutes!
Have a great day all!

My husband's aunt died so I'll be gone all evening to her visitation and tomorrow for the memorial service. A bit busy here indeed! Posting keeps me accountable though so here I am. On track with fluids and vitamins on hold til after surgery Friday.post op two days away from 29 months and weight at 120.2 today. Here's the food: B 1/2 c steel cut oats with nuts and half a banana with peanut butter L 31/2 oz salmon left from last night and 1/2 c Greek yogurt rest is in the air as we will be out of town for the visitation. Hubby is good about eating where there are things that are good choices for me so it will be fine. If needed I have some whole grain crackers with peanut butter in my purse to tide me over and that may be my snack. Have a great day everyone!

All of you snow dayers....It is so nice to have a hookey day...an unplanned day off of normal responsibilities! Yesterday I was so sore from yoga ( I am a lazy slouch!) that 6 hours of pottery was an effort...and I kept having to pee as you really need to drink drink drink when you pot as the clay dries out your skin....I got my exercise running up and down the stairs to go to the ladies
Anny I don't like this low carb stuff either...I don't know what to eat as the carbs kept lurking around every corner and I dont mean cake and cookies...damn stuff in is everything....I was going to add salsa with my breakfast and looked at the label ...2 carbs for 2 tbls...I would much prefer my cool whip and yogurt! I only managed 750 cals yesterday to keep the carbs low and that was with a hot chocolate at night and a cool whip no fat yogurt concoction! AND I GAINED A 1/2 LB......grrrr....
Today is a new one!
