What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

I think I'm going to be even lazier and ROAST the veggies! But that's perfect I think - thanks for the inspiration.

Sautee some peppers, mushrooms and onions in a little bit of olive oil, with a little garlic and salt to go with the sausage. 

If the TJ chicken sausage is anything like Sam's, I say yes!  Theirs are so good!  Add a roll for him and make a nice salad... and you have a great meal! What wine goes with sausage... I personally like Moscato, period, with everything, whether it goes or not!  

Hi Kristin and all,

I love love love shopping now that I can go into any store, and I find Marshalls and Macys and Nordstrom Rack are the best options for me!  Also, Express (which totally has vanity sizing and I am sometimes a Small which is ridiculous but I will take it).  I still wear wide calf boots sadly - even as a size 8 the normal boots are just slightly too tight on me.  We have warm and muggy and rainy weather here in DC but tomorrow the high is 59!  WHAT?  I am also a leggings or jeans and sweater girl.  With boots.  Never thought I would see the day.

I am two weeks from my arm lift and I have two goal shirts for after.  Both are so cute but RIDICULOUSLY tight on my arms.  Every time I am in the gym in a tank top I am looking at my arms and dreaming of how they will look post brachioplasty.

Time Since Surgery: Almost 22 months

B: Coffee with half and half, crab cake (weird for breakfast, but delicious)

L: Leftover ground turkey meat, avocado, shredded cheese, a few multigrain chips

S: Cucumbers, blueberries

D: Same as lunch

S2: TBD - may want something after the gym

E: Strength training class tonight for 50 minutes, then Bollywood dance for 50 minutes

Totals: 1,200 calories, 70 protein, 70 carbs

Have a great day, all!

Arm surgery!  I dream of arm surgery and tummy tucks and lower body lifts and MAJOR leg sculpting... when I am to your point!

Remember, you will can't wear sleeveless tops in DC in the middle of winter... lol!  Except at the gym!

My lower body lift and breast lift are the greatest things in my life, period!  I swear, I still marvel everyday at my new body and it's been six months!  I am excited about the arm lift, but not excited about the scars. My surgeon says I will be pleasantly surprised however.  It's a mixed bag - now when I am at a baseball game (for example) and wave my arms in the air, I notice how they flap.  After surgery will I be as self-conscious about waving my arms and having scars?  We will see.  At least when they are down by my side they will look normal LOL.  And yes, I opted to do arms in Fall/Winter since you have to really be diligent about being out of the sun and I will be wearing sleeves for the next few months :)  

No leg sculpting for me - again, all about the visibility of an inner thigh scar (when in a bathing suit).  I will deal with the hanging skin there since the thighs are covered by my clothes at all times.  Nothing will help my saggy calves, I am afraid.

I will post a pic on Friday - since I have started this new workout regimen I am seeing changes in my body and all I can say is, make sure your lower body lift includes buttock augmentation!  It's the best ever LOL.

I am going to have to get my legs done regardless of scars... I even have fatty skin hanging off of my knees!

I don't know if you remember the movie, Mystery Alaska, but there was a scene of one of the guys describing the noise of having sex with a chubbier girl...thwap, thwap, thwap. This is the noise my legs make now when I walk around with just a night shirt on. And, it is only going to get worse!   

I honestly don't worry about scarring... probably should... but, they will be my battle scars!!

Yes, I also have fat knees so I know what you mean lol.  But my surgeon told me a thigh lift doesn't really do anything for below the knees...the long scars go from the groin down towards the knees in the inner thighs.  I will deal with that saggy skin I have decided.

You can see I have major leg hanging skin in this pic:

If you go into my photos, click on this pic to make it bigger and WOWZA the skin ain't cute lol!

Maybe we can get a BOGO deal together. I am in the same boat, using my inner thighs and batwings as sails.

Happy Wednesday! 

I love fall and am so excited it is here!! :)  We went on vacation, and came home 2 weeks later to a changed place. The weather cooled down, the pumpkins were out and some leaves are starting to change. YAY!! 

However, I HATE socks and shoes... so I am holding off as long as possible to moving over to that portion. I also am looking forward to a little shopping, as my sizes keep changing and I will need a few cooler weather clothing. Small NSV - I packed for vacation 2 weeks before leaving, with new shorts that I sewed the waists a little smaller. When I arrived almost all of my shorts were too big and falling off :)  It was a pain to have clothes falling off constantly, but nice that I was still loosing so much only a couple weeks made a difference!
