Good Morning gang. The start of another week. I got my garlic planted Saturday 240 cloves in the ground. Made wedding soup and beef brisket yesterday. The Fall outage on boiler 2 started yesterday and so far, it's off to a good start. You never know what's going to happen when we take one of the boilers down for maintenance. Hopefully it goes well and stays quiet.
QOTD: Do you worry about how much fat is in foods? I don't but I do make sure to keep the carbs low. I find full fat foods seem to fill me up more like protein does.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: brisket and soup
D: French onion chicken breast
Hitting the Y and then watching Monday Night Football
Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Huge coincidence I got a great job offer ! Not much munny but its on a cruise ship so tot fun! 
Morning ~ teach a water aerobics class w great music ..
midday teach ballroom dancing
again later another ballroom dancing class
then Zumba!
i can tell Im gonna b SO TIRED! And Im supposed 2 partner(jes dance in their "clubs") w the single ol men at nite ..:
Eatings clearly not on th menu ... but shoot .. that hott lil body is tot worth it .
I cant believe how my body n skin springs back ... despite all th insults Ive done 2 her over th years .
Shes a pretty lil creature ... and Im ridiculously lucky 2 wear her .
I am drinking ff milk n eatin vitamins so clearly not starving.
Feeling like a really boring useless person .
Finally moved in ... and literally slept 4 three days straight .
Now I know what this " adventuring " took out of m .
No furniture as yet ... food is sketchy too . Have so much of it but can barely get anything down - weird. I detest cold food so thats probably (hopefully ) th reason.
Apartment looks lite n brite n gorgeous - hints of cobalt green on living room walls - cobalt violet n rose madder in my bedroom and BRIGHT cobalt blue w ultra pure white gloss trim n ceilings in the hall n gloss white in the bathrooms . Renters will have white n off white in their studios .
Already moved in th orchids :)
Im very excited about learning from my DA UA and BDA meetings tomorrow ! Theres a TON 2 learn and experience jes walkin thru it .
Yep ... part of m is terrified ... im so unused 2 standing up 4 myself ... I was raised 2 b a " good grrl " - helpful , sweet accommodating to everyone else and poor as a churchmouse .. self sacrificing even .
Gosh Im mad I swallowed this total nonsense!! 
Honestly jes 2 give myself a fair chance .. I grew up in a misogynistic tot financially unfair CULT ! n now gotta break ALL th rules 2 get fair treatment.
Im ok w eating a super long time ago . Honestly my sexy lil muscular tummy thang means more .,,,
jes photograph m so I can go eat!!! lol
Wow in amazed this is my life ... shoot i think it could happen 4 a lot of us ... lil ol hotties posing n gettin paid !
Go****s great 2 C U Grrrl!!
Its been way too long !
Ajj ... well looks like were mostly happy and supportive of each other except when were not.
Tot luv hearing from my sweet adorable guys n grrlz !! 
Yeah I suppose its a mixed bag but ALWAYS interesting . The coolest peeple post on here 
Good to see you back. Sorry you had to deal with that surgery hopefully you heal quickly. The group is small now, but we do our best to keep the menu thread going and support each other.

Was the Dubai Chocolate good? It looks hairy to me, and I try to avoid hairy foods. Haha. Easier said than done with three Alaskan Malamutes in the house.

Good mornin folks.
Feeling rather rough physically but somewhat better mentally. I'll take any improvements in that area no matter how small. At least I am able to let go of anger easier these days. It does me no good to be angry at someone who couldn't care less if I was mad at them(that applies to anyone not just my mom). My stomach has been temperamental. A big part of the rough feeling.
Today we're doing the thrift store and we need to get the dog biscuits or the dogs might die. They have to have certain ones and we forgot them Wednesday at Walmart. I also need to get to the post office to get some boxes.
QOTD: usually always. Now if I pay attention or not is another thing.
food is terribly unplanned. I had a piece of Dubai chocolate and it spiked my BS's already so I'm going to try and take it easier for the rest of the day.
B: breakfast burrito and chocolate.
things made in the last month and some memes splashed in there.
It?s been a suuuuuuuper long time since I posted here.
I?m fresh out of a hiatal hernia repair and pouch resection. I had my surgery Monday. I needed to pretty much start over in terms of eating.
Per my surgeon, I can be on puréed foods, but that didn?t go so hot yesterday.
I figured as long as I?m a newbie 2.0, I?d start posting here to keep myself accountable.
Re:QOTD-I check labels like it?s my job. Pre-new surgery, I may have ignored the macros on those labels, but I always read them! 
I?m 12 years out from RNY, and it?s become habit to read labels.
My food plan for today:
M1-Isopure Zero Carb Creamy Vanilla, 4 oz, 1 oz at a time. I?ve found my old shot glass that I used the first time around.
M2-Plain probiotic yogurt with some of the protein powder mixed in.
M3-Lime jello-zero sugar
M4-Protein shake, repeat amounts as earlier
Water and Gatorade zero as I can. May try to drink a tiny amount of decaf coffee. I?ve got Nescafé Gold in decaf. I LOVE the blonde Nescafé Gold. Yum.
I?m still in the sip,sip,sip-walk,walk,walk stage here so?.sipping and walking what I can manage.
