What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
Hot and muggy today but Lily and I got our three miles done early anyway! On track so far with vitamins and fluids and getting ready to make a cup of pumpkin spice coffee. Post op 3 years and weight at 117.6 today. Tomorrow is my three year appointment with my surgeons PA. It is so nice to go to a doctor and not worry about the numbers on the scale. I'm going to take my before picture to remind them of what I looked like at the start of this amazing journey! I am SO grateful every day for the chance to have my surgery! Here's the food for today: B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein powder and 5 blackberries from my garden L 31/2 oz salmon left over from dinner out and 1/2 c roasted cauliflower also leftovers S string cheese D 31/2 oz ground beef with 1/2 c sauteed zuchini S Greek yogurt with nuts. Have a great day full of smart choices everyone!
Coming here in the mornings really does help me feel a) accountable and b) accepted. *nods* Yesterday, for example, I was surprise-attacked by a bowl of Italian wedding soup at lunch. I only ate half of it, but it did put me over the calorie limit I'd set for the day. All that said, I didn't go over 800, so yay!
Today I'm going to the gym for the first time in my life. (I'm not counting the times my mother drug me with her as a child.) I don't have my swimsuit, etc. yet, but I am going to take a shower there, just to start getting acclimated. (Am I the only one terrified of gyms and working out in front of others? LOL )

Showering is an exercise, right?,
