What's on your menu today, RNYers?
Hi menu friends,
Huge milestone/NSV today for me! I ran for the first time last week you may recall (5 minutes walking then 5 minutes running, then 4 of each, 3 of each, 2 of each). Today at the gym I planned out 30 minutes on the treadmill before my session with my trainer and I started by walking for 5 minutes. Then the plan was to run for 5 minutes but when that 5 minutes was up, I wasn't gasping for breath so I kept going. I ran for 15 minutes!!! I know this is not a marathon by any means but damn it felt good. I swear I can't believe the person I am coming.
Another sort of NSV is that my new Naturalizer Johanna Wideshaft knee high boots arrived and they fit! I feel like they make my knees look fat (weird, I know) and it's sad to be in a size 10 pants and still need wide boots, but hey, it's not like I could wear knee-high boots last year so I guess it's kind of an NSV!
I am in our DC office today for meetings and lunch is totally TBD (not sure if we will run out for something or if I will head home momentarily and eat there) but here are my eats for the day:
Time Since Surgery: 10 months, 1.5 weeks (weight is holding and I am freaking 1 lb away from losing 200 lbs!)
B: Chike, coffee with french vanilla creamer
S: 2 oz of Boar's Head turkey and pepperjack cheese
L: TBD
D: Two Trader Joe's jalapeño chicken sausages
S2: TBD
E: 30 minutes treadmill, 30 minutes personal training
Totals are 700 calories, 69 g protein, 31 g carbs but it's all going to change when I add lunch and likely an evening snack after this happy hour I am attending.
Good Morning Everyone,

Have a great day everyone!
I am pretty sure that tiny Halloween candy bars are tools of the devil! Gloomy day here in Illinois too. Lily and I did 4 miles at the park this morning and sometime this afternoon I will do 20 minutes on the bike too. Had a big NSV yesterday with my 30 day shred DVD. I was able to do all of level on the advanced level for the first time ever! I never thought I would be able to do basic planks,much less advanced ones! Post op almost 26 months and weight at 120.2 today. On track with vitamins and fluids and here's the eats:B 1/2 c steel cut oats with nuts and half a banana with peanut butter L small lunch able(on the run) and 1/2 c Greek yogurt S whole grain crackers with peanut butter D 31/2 oz cod and 1/2 c butternut squash S Greek yogurt with nuts. Hope everyone has a great day!
I know I am late to the party, but this is still my favorite post on OH. It is my 3 month surgiversary and I am down a total of 74 pounds pre and post op. Woot!Woot! I was shooting for 75, but close enough. :) Went to the surgeon for follow up yesterday. I need to up my protein because my protein was on the low side and lower than last time. I also told him I have an uncomfortable feeling when I eat, esp. more solid foods. SO he told me to up the prilosec and to take tums during the day and come back in 2 weeks. See if that helps, if not he wants to do an endoscopy. We will see.
B: Fit Frappe made with milk
S; Kay's Naturals pretzels
L: Trader Joe's Mandarin Chicken, salad with pear vinegrette
S: Wasa cracker with Peanut butter and banana
D: 2 Trader Joe Chicken Sausage (found one with cranberry and apple I think) with peppers, onion and spinach
