What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Hey guys, sorry for the late start.  I decided when I woke up this morning that I didn't feel like working, so I'm taking a swim in Lake Me today!  I've already been to WalMart (didn't forget anything this time!) and now I'm doing some laundry.  When that's all done, Imma mani-pedi myself in preparation for when the temperature goes up.  It's 40 right now.  40.  Maybe that's why I couldn't face a day at work.

How was everyone's weekend?  My son's baseball game was a close one but they lost.  He did get the game ball, though, from his coach.  This coach designates a player after every game to be the MVP and my Scoobs was the first one.  *proudmomtear*  Other than that and some bee box painting, I did as close to nothing as humanly possible.  Ahhhh...that was nice.

Time since surgery:  9 months and a week-ish

B:  Special K flatbread sandwich; ham egg and pepper jack cheese.  This was pretty good, although I did add an extra slice of cheese since most of the pepper jack melted off in the microwave.

S:  string cheese

L:  Chicken salad and pork rind crackers

D:  venison backstrap with sautéed cabbage and a lil bit of stuffing

TOTALS:  Cals:  862  Protein:  85  Carbs:  55  Fat:  34

Venison has crazy protein numbers; I need to cook it more often.

NEXT!

Morning AV and everyone else! I basically was stalking OH for the post to go up this morning as I'm getting a bit of a slow start at work today. I have a super busy afternoon, but this morning isn't quiet. I put in a really (REALLY!) hard work out at the gym this morning, so I just downed my morning snack. I have a feeling this is going to be a bottomless pit kind of day, so I'm going to need to be vigilant.

Had a really fun weekend whi*****luded a visit from DC Girl and her boy! We had dinner together on Saturday and then got to hang out MORE yesterday with a walk around the Italian Market and lunch - so fun. Em, post that cute picture of the two of us!!!

Time since surgery: 13+ months

B: coffee with cream, omelet made with eggbeaters, turkey sausage ,and goat cheese

S: L&F with sliced almonds, more coffee with cream

L: cottage cheese double, string cheese, granola thin

S: almonds and a Babybel

D: protein bar between meetings

S: Somersaults and a Yasso froyo bar

Sometime I'll probably end up eating a PowerCrunch - two protein bars in a day isn't the best idea, but I am in need of easily transportable and easy in the car and no refrigeration needed...what options fit those bills? Help!

TOTALS: Calories 1375, Protein 102, Carbs 104, Fat 64

V/W: started, still struggling with the water...anyone have a self filtering bottle they like?

E: Total Body class at the gym this AM

Jerky!  Krave Black Cherry BBQ pork jerky is my new favorite thing.  Also, those smoked turkey sticks are good for on the go w/o a fridge.

And I saw you guys on FB.  Adorbs, all of you! 

Sounds like you had fun! Just bought somersaults... haven't tried them. I thought they would be a good snack for the car for an upcoming road trip... gotta have your snacks right?

I REALLY like the Somersaults (my favorite flavor is the Cinnamon Crunch but I seem to have a hard time finding those, so Dutch Cocoa all the way), but they're easy to eat more than the 14 per serving - highly recommend counting them out into little snack bags/containers right away!

I have used the bobble in the past and liked it. but I kept forgetting to buy the filters when I would run out. I loved the shape of the bottles too. I think Kohls, Macys and Best buy sell them pretty regularly. 

I had the same problem with the filters. 

I just read a bunch of reviews on Amazon and went with a Brita bottle and put the filters on subscription! Hopefully that will help keep me in line.

Filters on subscription sounds like a great idea.

This weekend wasn't too crazy.  Baby shower for my brother and his girlfriend on Saturday, then got the almost 4 year old new shows and sandals.

I had my first "NEWB" problem this morning.  The kids had dentist appointments, and the littles ones slept later then normal.  So I was rushing a little.  So I decided to have my sausage links on the go.  Yeah...NOT a good idea.  I didn't chew enough or ate to fast.  A bit got stuck...OMG that was NOT a pleasant feeling!  I was praying I didnt need to pull over on the highway and throw up!!  UGH  I have learned my lesson for sure!!

Good Morning! Good for getting out and getting the shopping done early. 

Congrats to your son-that's so cool. Nothing much with my weekend, we did get rain most of Saturday morning so that's good news. I tried a new recipe this weekend-carrot cake pancakes-they were sooo good! I finally bought some PB2 and ooohh it's some tasty stuff. I tried it with a handful of things and it did not disappoint.
