What's on the menu today, RNY-ers?
Thank you. It took me a good 2 years to get down to 160. The first 130 came off the first year. The second 30 come off the 2nd year. I have had to work hard after the first 100 pounds. I was and still am a slow loser. I lost another 10 then year, but it is harder and harder to maintain that which I why I am strict about what I eat and how much I exercise.
You will make it as long as you don't stop trying. I know I will never look like the 18 year olds I see at the gym, but I think I am doing pretty well for someone who was obese for 35 + years of her life.
That's awesome, and great to have that context! I don't think 130 in a year is slow...and look how you are kicking butt now :) I know what you mean - I see these very fit people at the gym and I know that a. I am not fit (yet) and b. even when I lose a bunch of weight I will be sagggggggggggy :( But I figure, I will be healthy and hey, that's what Spanx are for, right? :)
Hello and good afternoon. I did about 10 minutes of palities (sp?) yesterday and my abs are sore! I am going to sign myself up for next weeks class at my gym. I am really starting to like the gym. I have gone in two days and I am actually looking forward to it today! Tomorrow I meet with a trainer so I am looking forward to having someone showing me what to do. Anyways on to my eats.....
breakfast: coffee and creamer, chocolate protien with milk (most of the time I do half milk and half water but today was just milk and it was too heavy)
lunch: 2 1/2 turkey meatballs with some sauce and cheese and a salad
dinner: some chicken strips, rice and salad.
Snacks: Greek yogurt with mini chocolate chips, string cheese
947 cal 84 carb 88 protein not bad still higher in carbs than i want but most is from milk products
w: not much yet but working on it v: when I'm done e: when hubby gets home, 30 cardio and 30 on the weights
have a great day everyone.
You eat so well and are 7 years post-op! That's so awesome :) I hope you will LOVE your trainer. It is so awesome because a. they show you what to do and b. they push you harder than you will push yourself! I swear, there are times I think I am going to die and my trainer is like, "Ok, 10 more" LOL. I hope it goes well. I have never done pilates. Your menu is inspiring.
So glad they are finally going to be realistic with the information printed on labels. I think that people will make better choices when its right there in front of them. Kinda like at panera where everything is printed right on the board.
I totally did something to my shoulder during personal training, today is the first time that I wish I could have an NSAID!!

I had a sinusy kind of cold one day and was craving Aleve Cold and Sinus! I hope your shoulder heals quickly! I am totally addicted to my personal training sessions, like you! I have to go to Mexico for work next week and I am really sad to get off of my routine :( Your menu looks good - spicy Asian chicken - yes please!
Sitting here watching TV and I realized I haven't checked in since before we left for San Antonio. Good trip, saw my father in law for the first time in a long time, he was so surprised at my weight loss. Guess pictures on Facebook don't really do it justice. We helped him tear down a house, and I got to drive a bobcat!! I ate way too many Starburst jelly beans in the car. So there's that... now were back, and I spent way too much money at the store stocking up on Chicken and Veggies and Rice Cakes and healthiness.
Anyway here's what I've had today.
Breakfast: had coffee w/ creamer and then took a strawberry peanut butter protein shake to the dog park
Snack: had 3 baby pickles while I was making my Spring/Easter wreath...I get caught up in the craft
Lunch: Chicken Fajita (had leftovers from last night. Can't believe I actually ate it, I'm really bad with leftovers)
Snack: Mini Rice Cakes
Dinner: 4oz salmon with a **** ton of lemon and dill. Roasted green beans, maybe a pickled beat or 2
American Idol tonight, might have a raspberry dark chocolate WW Popsicle
ran 5 miles yesterday, got another 5 to do in the morning
Hi Annie - welcome back! Glad you had a great trip :) I saw a few people last night at an event who I haven't seen in months, and they were all like "You look so good!". Sometimes it's nice to see someone you don't see everyday, so you can hear that affirmation that your hard work is paying off! Dill and lemon salmon sounds good. I am not good at preparing salmon for some reason. It's not done, not done, not done, OVERDONE. Rather quickly :)
B: Protein Shake (chocolate)
S: Yogurt and granola
L: chicken salad on one piece of honey wheat bread
S: hummus and peas
D: stuffed zucchini (ham and cheese) and quinoa patties (broccoli and cheese). Both were amazing!
S: peach and maybe some coconut almonds
