What's on the menu today, RNYers?
You won't. I'm actually more afraid of falling off a treadmill. The elliptical is a beastly workout, but it's much more secure feeling to me because your feet never actually leave the pedals. Just be careful climbing on and off, and you'll do great!

I had to switch to the elliptical, the recumbent bike seat was hurting my butt! I may look like I have a lot of padding left, but it sure doesn't feel that way to me. My trainer had me doing some exercises on the floor last night, and all I could think about was how much my hip bones were hurting on the floor, even with a mat underneath me.
Thanks, Anny, for reminding me to think about the positive. I have come a long way, no matter how far I have yet to go!

Miralax and Benefiber - what WLSers dream about :) I was just discussing spaghetti squash the other day! I saw someone make it on the Food Network but I've never tried it. Do you like it? It's not a real substitute for pasta obviously but does it agree with your stomach and taste good?
Glad to have you posting here! Got me thinking about a new veggie :)

I have yet to try the spaghetti squash but I have thid cool gadget that allows me the "spiral" zucchini and squash like pasta. Too me, it's a great substitute for pasta. Love it!
Hello everyone! I am back from my wonderful vacation. It was alittle stressful at times with out-of-state family members but that's ok. My daughter had not seen them in 3.5 years and hubby had not seen them (his dad and sisters) in over 4 years. Man was is it crowder and by Sunday we were feeling the heat! I think Thursday-Sunday we got maybe 10 hours of sleep! But when you go to disneyland you have to do it right! Lol I am happy to repot that neither my hubby or I gained any weight! We did pretty good eating wise and I stuck to my one sweet a day rule, well almost.... It was my birthday after all! I loved the fact that a cast member teased me and wished me a happy sweet 16! We got home Monday and I took a day off on Tuesday to rest my feet, we ended up staying at disneyland a total of 22 hours on Friday so not the whole 24, next year!
My eats: (back to routine!)
breakfast: 1 scrambled egg with little bit of cheese and ham, small piece of french bread. Coffee and creamer (I missed my creamer! )
lunch: a huge salad with lots of veggies, turkey and cheese
dinner: taco Wednesday! Chicken ones
snacks: string cheese (maybe) protein shake with milk, a Greek yogurt as a treat
w: 24oz so far
v: I need to get back on this I am so bad when I go away
e: first day back! My group pt class
have a great day everyone! I have a lot of laundry to catch up on.......
Today was weird for me! I ate almost an entire days worth of my "usual stuff" by noon. Just rely like all I wanted to do was eat, eat, eat!
By the time noon arrived I ate/drank:
3 glasses of water and 3 cups of coffee, Atkins shake, Greek yogurt with a small amount of granola, a small amount of almonds, Light Baby Bel cheese (1) AND a ham/cheese roll up. Around 1:30, the hungry beast reared it's ugly head and I had a rare (for me) Quest bar. More water and coffee.
I'm now noshing on apple slices and cheese, however, that's it for the day. While the amount is what I normally eat (minus a real dinner), I still felt like a pig. Guess it was the short time frame that surprised me.
Vitamins and liquids on track. Too little exercise to bother mentioning.
