What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Mornin'!

well, it was supposed to be a nice week weather-wise, but now they're calling for snow - AGAIN! I am so damn sick of this!! It's not supposed to start until late tonight, so today should be fine - I'll try to get all my errands, gym time, etc in. Luckily I don't have anything critical Tuesday or Wednesday so I'm OK if we get dumped on. By Thursday, things should be OK again. And hopefully this will be the end of it!!

Accountability was fabulous yesterday. It will be today and tomorrow, too, because my weigh-in is Wednesday. Only one "bad" day this past week (Saturday), but I did a ton of Zumba that day, so I more than likely worked off the excess calories (although I typically do NOT deduct exercise calories...). I'm hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised, since this is just week one of my new "diet" (and I know the first week you usually have a decent drop because of water weight). If I can lose 0.5-1 lb a week after this, I'll be happy - esp since I don't have all that much to lose (and as we know, it is really hard when you're within 10 or so lbs of your goal!!)

QOTD: I've left some but not many. I think most have been on GNC or Vitamin Shoppe - but I remember leaving one on the site where I got the rug for our porch last year. I usually just do it when I'm wildly positive about something.

4 years 8 months out:

B: protein pancakes, 1/2 C plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 C cranberry/cherry compote, coffee with half & half

MS: protein shake

L: plant-based "sausage" in a Flat Out FoldIt wrap with sauerkraut

AS: Light & Fit yogurt and/or raw veggies with hummus

D: 2 Costco chicken skewers with ranch/garlic Greek yogurt dip, salad with light dressing

ex: weights this morning, Aqua Zumba this evening (gotta double up in case I'm homebound the next day or two!!)

have a great day, everyone!

I'll take some of the snow! The is the most snowless winter I can remember in my 60ish years! this is New England ! Sleigh Rides, Log Cabins with fireplaces, snowmobiles...you know all the stuff!!

I'm stealthily typing in a meeting lol- we will see if I can typey type secretly. so by the time we got back from daddy's and moms house and working at Starbucks yesterday that I decided to drive back to TN early this morning. so I was up at 4:45. I'm sure I will be dead later... and I look like I live in my car cause there is stuff everywhere.

my mind is a bit scattered today- feeling discombobulated so need to streamline my thoughts and get things in order. I wont have dogs all week and DH- will be so so sad.

food will be piecemeal today-

breakfast- 1/2 lavash wrap, 4 egg whites, and spinach and mushrooms

lunch will probably be the rest (except 2 whites) and some ground chicken on it

QOTD: I leave yelp reviews for food places. not as much product reviews.

Good morning, Happy Monday!

QOTD - I leave reviews for local places that provide great service. I don't leave bad reviews ever, it's just not my thing. I simply don't go back.

Breakfast - None, but enjoying a hot Americano since I am still fasting

Lunch - Up in the air, having lunch with a friend from work - something vegan.

Snack - Fruit smoothie, (frui****er, chia seeds, oat milk)

Dinner - Something veggies, something pasta, that's all I know so far!

Snack - Hemp protein shake (oatmeal, hemp protein powder, 1/2 banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp dark cocoa powder)

Have a wonderful day y'all!

Another QOTD that speaks to me.

Several months ago I had had it with my primary care doc. His condescending and cavalier attitude had me at my witts end. He was continually pushing diet pills to which I wanted no part of and had made my opinon clear. When I got home I went online and gave an opionion of this doc and office in general, supposedly anonymous. Hahaha. Now after every visit I am emailed an evaluation of the visit, and the doc. His attitude seems to have been adjusted.....hmmmm

I have an appt wit a new pcp 5/24/2021

If it takes more than a year to get in, that may not be the the best doctor for a PCP!

Good Morning!

Well im definately Dora Dora!

Breakfast: OMEPRAZOLE coffee and premier shake

Lunch: Chili and Cheese

Snack: Greek Yogurt

Dinner: Salmon

64 oz of water minimum and all my vitamins

Have a great day Juniper!

Well hello old friends!

I just discovered this morning that since I got my promotion they no longer block my web access on the firewalls LOL...
Yes, I have had this job for 3 months now but I actually never had a free moment to even think about checking this website during work hours up until this week so here I am!
I will likely still be sporadic in my posting because my job is pretty nuts but I am here today and I wanted to say HELLO :)

I had a rough month or so in the beginning of the year as far as sticking to my eating plan, but I have since reigned it in and I am back on track.
I hit my 2 year surgiversary on 2/12 and the surgeon's office weighed me in at the exact same weight I was at my 18 month appointment, which was actually about 6 lbs heavier than my lowest weight, but like I said, I wasn't doing great and had a small regain.
I freaked out a little when my weight was getting dangerously close to 155...I stopped tracking/weighing and measuring and I knew I wasn't making good choices. I was feeling bloated and uncomfortable so I started back on MFP about 2 weeks ago and already lost 5 of the lbs again so I am hoping to keep going and see what happens.
I am actually pretty sure I could probably lose another 10 if I work hard enough, which might be good for a nice cushion.

In other news, my DH just had gallbladder removal surgery on 2/11. He's recovering well but his job gives him 3 weeks off paid, so he is still home with Story for another week off work, and he just found out his work schedule is going to be moving him to 3rd shift.
This is good for the monetary bonus he's getting and the fact that we won't need to pay for Child care anymore during the day, but it's going to be rough for a few months before Story starts full time kindergarten in the fall (then he can go back to sleep during the day while she's in school)...he will literally only be able to sleep for about 2-3 hours before he has to get up and get her ready for preschool. He can then go home and nap for a little but but will have to go pick her up about 2 hours later. He says he will be fine, but I am sure it will be a struggle for a while to adjust.

QOTD: I usually just leave reviews for things if I feel strongly about them one way or another. Mostly just on Amazon.

Anyway, Down to the food.

B: 1/2C cottage cheese, 1 HB egg and 2oz black forest ham w/dill and EBB seasoning
MS: Apple
L: Cheesy ham and veggie soup
AS: L&F greek yogurt
D: leftover salmon & snap peas
ES: turkey meat stick, string cheese & 1oz chili lime cashews

I can't wait for spring and sunshine...I really want to get outside and start running again. I am so unmotivated to work out in my cold dark basement.
