What's on your menu today, RNYers?

No inspiration from me, I'm afraid. I'm totally stuck in a food rut at this point, which isn't altogether a bad thing I guess. Nothing appeals, is all, so it's easy to not eat things I shouldn't. I'm eating an Atkins bar for lunch just because chocolate + crunch = delicious, but other than that I'm really not interested in eating anything.

My plans for yesterday got blown away by my husbeast deciding he wanted Five Guys burgers for dinner. So I went along, and had a bacon cheeseburger which I peeled the bun off of. I figured I'd gain today or at least not lose because of the burger and the salt content of it all, but down one pound instead. I'll take it!

I'm also starting to scope out gyms in my area, and getting pretty discouraged. From what I can find online they're either old, decrepit and dirty, or the staff sucks, or they're super expensive, or they're mostly for swole bros. Is it so hard to find a reasonably priced place with decent equipment, staff and amenities? Apparently it is!

Anyway, here's my menu for the day:

Have a great weekend, all! My plans are to finally get around to making those Easter cookies I've been putting off, and I'm going to try my hand at making homemade ricotta and cottage cheese. I'll let you know how they turn out. 

I was scoping out gyms today, how funny is that.  DCgirl must be rubbing off on us lol

I found one that has a 2 lane lap pool, located between my DHs work and my new employer.  I have SI joint pins, so I thought the pool may make me not hurt much.  I will give it a try, they have a trial.  I looked at 4 total and they all offer a trial, so I can go to each gym free and then decide what one I like best :)  I don't like weight training much, but the pool and classes (zumba and yoga) interest me.

Homemade ricotta and cottage cheese?!?? You're so gourmet! Seriously that would never occur to me! Let us know how it turns out!

I hear you on the gyms. I opted for expensive. I knew I wouldn't want to go if it was dirty or grimy or filled with sweaty bulked up dudes. And now my gym is my haven. I figure I don't drink or eat so why not splurge on the gym lol ;)

Keep up the search - I am convinced I'm doing well partly from exercise. I feel strong :)

Have an awesome weekend :)

Hello! I have not yet posted my daily menu on this thread because I am on full liquids/pureed but today I thought what the heck. So here it is. Some amounts are off such as the sargento cheese. There is not a choice for a few sprinkles of cheese! Also, I often do not finish the whole portion but I like my fitness pal just so I can see somewhat where I stand.

Kim, you're doing great for just a couple of weeks out. By all means, please share your menu! Other people in the FL or puree stage may just be inspired by what you're eating.

Thanks! I do appreciate someone eyeballing the food intake. I forgot to post V: no problem W: no problem E: taking a break. I walked total of 8.5 miles this week which is a lot for me and jacked up my right knee. Old injury, just aggravated it. Bummer because I was going to ride my bike this weekend. Starting to really enjoy exercise.
