What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Good Morning all! Here's a funny: it's raining here so instead of rummaging in the back for my umbrella, I just grabbed my windbreaker. My windbreaker I haven't worn since last spring. It's ENORMOUS on me, like a circus tent. My husband was like, "you're not actually going to wear that in public, are you?". LOL Damn right, I am.
Today's menu is a mess. LOL I did go grocery shopping last night, but managed to leave behind the bag that had my yogurt, cottage cheese and pork rinds in it. I was so mad when I figured it out because I was in the middle of making my chicken salad that was supposed to be today's lunch. I called Walmart and they were like, "yeah, we have your bag". *sigh* Looks like I'll be making another trip there today to get mah stuff.
B: coffee and Fiber One chocolate cereal, dry. I think I'm off milk for a while seeing as the last time I drank it was bad bad bad.
S: Click Mocha. I like having this at work because I get to annoy the co-workers I hate by shaking my blender bottle incessantly.
L: 2 string cheeses, celery sticks with garlic and herb Laughing Cow and an apple. Sad desk lunch is sad.
D: Buffalo Chicken salad with pork rind crackers, dammit.

Have a great day guys!
It actually isn't raining her this morning, its a little chilly, but not bad. So I went for a nice walk this morning after dropping the kids off at daycare and before work!
The kids and I always eat at my parent's house on Wednesdays. My husband goes to see my step daughter on Wednesdays. Sooooo I don't know what I will have having for dinner. I'm sure my mother isn't making anything that I can eat, and I don't really expect her to. So I may grab something from my house before going up, yogurt or some more egg salad.

Hi there! Just posted today for the first time - we are surgery twins!

Good morning! It's cold and dreary here but that is an improvement over last night. When I was driving home from the gym it was a "wintery mix" or pure crap as I like to call it. It was warm enough that it wasn't slippery but just seeing a snow like substance makes me angry!! It's spring damnit! I want sunshine and flowers!
Anyway, I hate hate hate when I forget bags at the store. At least they still had them and hopefully put them somewhere cold! I made it to Target last night after my swim but managed to grab cotton candy oreos for the kids, and very little for me. I did pick up some Market Pantry Carb Conscious Tortillas which I really like because they are only 80 calories for a full size tortilla and have 6g of protein. I also picked up some k-cups for the Kuerig at work. Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee! I'm hoping they don't disappoint.
Time since surgery: 9 months
B: SF Latte and Dunkin' Donuts Egg White, Turkey Sausage and cheese wake up wrap
S: Coffee and string cheese
L: Pork buns (out with friend)
S: Kay's Cinnamon Toast Pretzels
D: Tuna on Carb Conscious Tortilla
Post workout: EAS Carb Contol Shake
S: Half a Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich

Have a great day all!
I'm actually one of those people that get to gloat about their weather for once. It dawned a beautiful morning here in suburban Philly and I happily went for a walk instead of hitting the gym for the boring walking on the track I had planned. The only down side to that was that I was going to spy a little on a particular spinning class this morning, but I can do that any time! This new job means that I need to figure out a new gym routine and I haven't quite got it down yet.
AV, that is SUCH a bummer about your grocery bag, such a pain. I've done that before and it is so disappointing!
But let's talk about pork rinds for a second. I bought some recently hoping to like them and I just didn't. But maybe I should try a different brand? Different flavor? What do you get?
Time since surgery: 13 months

V/W: started, but my liquids have been a real struggle at the new job, again, something I need to figure out a new normal and I just haven't. I think I need to get a self-filtering bottle...
E: walked for just about 40 minutes this morning - at 5,000 before 9am? I'll take it.

I usually get my pork rinds at Dollar Tree. LOL I think the ones I left behind last night were Baken-ets. Something like that. I'll tell you, I don't usually eat them by themselves. I use them as a vehicle for other things, like tuna or chicken salad. They do make flavored ones, though, like BBQ and Hot and Spicy. Those are pretty good straight outta the bag.
