What's on your Friday menu?
Happy Friday!!!! Not sure if I'll be going strawberry picking since it seems like all the places are closed today for ripening. So I'll have to figure something else out to do with my daughter and granddaughter. What a difference in the weather compared to yesterday. It is cool and windy, but I think it is supposed to get into the 80's later on.
The rain held off last night and Irvin was able to go watch the grandkids race. They had a blast and are really into it.
Not sure of a QOTD so if someone has one please feel free to post it.
B: coffee and two eggs over easy with a slice of cheese and avocado
L: not sure depends on what we do today
D: grilled swordfish and salad
30 minutes on the treadmill
have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!

Revision from Lap Band to Bypass on 2/4/2015 by Dr. Pohl
Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
Was that another week that just blew buy? Only 14 days till the 4th of July. I cannot believe how fast life is going. I am officially not doing the 5K on the 4th. I was not motivated to train, and the last month of torrential down pouring rain did not help. The heat wave starts Sunday, and it looks like pool weather all weekend. I have gym booked both Saturday and Sunday. I will do Mom duty, and I am having a small picnic with friends tomorrow. I am making a Baked Italian Chicken Tthighs on Sunday I am excited about. I probably need to get my tomatoes steaked as well.
QOTD: What is one thing you know longer do only because you had bariatric surgery? Mine is Smoke. I smoked from 17 to the age of 52. I have not had once since. Sometimes I crave it, but I know the consequences and also the cost, so I am easily deterred.
Accountability: I ended up eating 3 tacos and Elote cup for dinner last night.
TSS: 7 years 6-months 9-days 168.6 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
MS: Premier Protein Root beer Float
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: Eggbites
D: grilled meatloaf (still sitting in the fridge maybe tonight)
Exercise: dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great weekend my friends.
Brightest Blessings
Chrissy
My cheat last night
Rudy wanted to say Hi!!
HW 299 SW 290 CW 139 GW 140 2/08/2019 OPERATION: Surgical Hernia with excision of total surface area of 55 x 29 cm of abdominal skin.
Chrissy, have you ever tried off-brand versions of Miralax? Dr. wants me to switch to that instead of Benefiber and supposedly she wrote a script for it but I highly doubt the military has it in it's formulary. They haven't provided bariatric vitamins for years, cheapskates. haha
Thank you for the link to the recipe, it sounds delicious. Enjoy your pup and the pool this weekend.
Gordon Ramsey is here making a Tv show at a restaurant in Cortland Ohio about 10 miles from me. I will be excited to eat there and watch his show. It used to have wonderful food but has gone downhill lately.
It was a beautiful summer day. My sister and her family are at Hilton Head SC and today they saw a shark close to the beach. Everyone had to leave beach. scary.
I hope to do a beach trip in August when kids go back to school and not so crowded.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
How nice that you got to watch the grandkids race. They grow up too dang fast.
QOTD: Chew gum. The dr's head nurse led our support group back in the day and she harped on that one over and over. She said dr. has had to go back to too many of his patients for emergency surgery to remove stuck gum. I'm slightly suspicious of that but I still haven't had any gum in nearly 19 years.
PT went much better today and I can tell there is good progress being made so they gave me more homework to do. I was even able to kneel on a cushion on top of a padded table for around 4 minutes!
B- my usual choc. protein/collagen shake.
L-nothing
D-1 oz steak, 1 cup asparagus
That's only 322 calories and 56 g protein. Looks like I can afford some Ants on a Log for a snack tonight!
Have a wonderful weekend! We started a cooldown today and will stay around the 60's for a few days, I'm going to take advantage and get some carrots planted.
That is funny!!! The come chewing. I followed the rules for the first couple years, but I chew gum now. I never had a problem but never was prone to swallowing gum in the first place.

Super late post from me.
it was a busy-ish day. I'm exhausted but can't sleep. Nothing new there.
We took a load to the thrift store. Had my PT appointment. We did some things around the house. Feeling kind of blah.
QOTD: I can't eat pasta or rice. I may get two fork/spoon fulls but then it's a huge no.
food was decent! Had only once slice of the supreme pizza my mom got.
