That is a rule I never heard, but it does make sense. I almost never sit down at a table to eat. It is in front of the TV or the computer. Back in the day we all had TV trays and ate off of those most of the time.

I use a fork for pizza because I usually only eat the sauce and toppings.

I hope you go to the rally and enjoy the experience. I just read this morning that one in five republicans are in favor of Donald seizing power by force if the election does not go his way.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I always carried snacks on road trips and also used to eat in the car a lot. Now I would only eat in the car in a true emergency. Even before surgery, I was careful to pack healthy snacks like cheese, fruit, and bite size vegetables. I would get food at drive throughs and eat as I drove. By the time I reached my destination there would be a bag full of food wrappers and napkins in the front seat. Embarrassing if I ended up with a passenger once I got there. I also would have the giant gulp size of Diet Coke in the car and remember it spilling at least one time.

Can't you hit the rally after class. Probably easier to get in after 1:30 than it would be at 10 when everyone else shows up. Enjoy whatever you decide.

So glad you're getting to go away with Em. I have never been to a big Theme part like that. The closest I had ever come was Cedar Point back in the 70's. Oh, I lied back in 200 before I met Ron and Pre surgery I went to Hershey but did not fit on most rides.

Good Morning Amy and Meneurs,
Sounds like you are having great days Amy. WTG on all the exercise. And I love your updated photo.
I hope that anyone who is not embracing the changes and have stop posting realize that being accountable is a very big part of what they signed up for when they had the surgery. If they are not being accountable here, I hope it is somewhere.
We have been having the most beautiful fall. The trees are very vibrant this year. I was surprised considering we are in a drought and the temps have in the low 70's. Today it looks like summer with highs in the 80's. I need to get to the store today. My mother refuses to go shopping so I am her personal shopper. I have now returned 4 pair of black pants.
QOTD: Very seldom do I eat in the car. If I do it is usually after being in Walmart or Aldi and Ron is driving and we share Rotelli or some fun snack we found at Aldi. Prior to WLS I never ate in the car unless it was a road trip.
Accountability: I found SF Chick O sticks (they are little nugget sized) at the local candy store. I ate 6 and it was easy because there are only 50 calories for 3.
TSS: 6 years 10-months 11-days 167.6 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
MS: snack select, protein puffs, and Chobani zero sugar blueberry Greek yogurt
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
L: Egg Roll in a bowl, berries and cucumbers
D; crockpot pizza
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 day my friends.
Brightest blessings
Chrissy

Good morning Tuesday! Quick post and then I am out the door for the gym. I don't want to go but I'm repeating the mantra "what's the point in making goals if you are not going to push for them" over and over in my head. No excuses. Or, at least that's the effort I'm trying to make.
Yesterday was successful on all counts. 452 move calories, 58 minutes of exercise, whi*****luded credit for 20 flights of stairs. 10,286 steps. I had my Dexa scan. I don't love all the data, but don't have much to compare it to. I've got 39 pounds of fat on this body. I need some of it, we all do. But I don't love where the majority is accumulated. I'm 35 percent under the average total body fat for women my age/height. I'm waiting for my trainer to review all the rest of the data and weigh in. It's confusing to read this report and then try to google it and see if I am doing well. So many opinions out there. Great choices in food and lots of water. Not a good nights sleep. Currently needing the sleep idol back in my hands.
QoTD: Very, very rarely now. And if I do, it's preplanned and brought with me. Pre surgery, some of our favorite words were "Road trip snacks!" There was cherry sours, Doritos, etc. Sitting on my ass for hours in a car seemed like the perfect excuse to eat crap.
Bites today
B: egg and bacon
L: leftover carne asada meat and veggies
D: Turkey and cheese burger minus any bread. A few oven baked fries
3 ish greek yogurt with mix ins
9 ish: 2-3 ounces carnitas meat or turkey
Peace!
