What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Love both of the ideas... aquarium or museum!

Good morning. Headaches suck. I used to get them all of the time. Only once in a while knock on wood. I am going to try the pumpkin Quest bar. I hope it is good. 

B:Eggs and scrapple free coffee from Wawa I pass by three of them on the way to work I only will have one. Maybe?

L:Quest bar. I have go visit my uncle in the hospital so I will be on the run today. 

D:Salad with steak and blue cheese

S:Cheese stick.

Water is going down and vitamins are in for the morning. 

Enjoy the day

So much free coffee!!!

PS. How did I miss before your dinner? Salad with steak and blue cheese sounds like a dreeeeeeam! Yum!

Sorry you're under the weather, maybe chicken soup should be on the menu in the near future!

Repairs are finally under way on our water line, with any luck we'll have water by tonight. Makes me nervous sitting in here while the work is done, they'll be shooting a "missel" under ground to penetrate the concrete basement wall.... Seems like so much could go wrong. 

Time since surgery: 5 months

Breakfast: Oikos vanilla yogurt and 1 kashi pumpkin spice flax granola bar. (The bars are packed in twos)

Snack: cashews and cheese stick

Lunch: stew peas

Dinner: ?? First day home in a few days, I have no idea what's on hand.

Peach, I see you're from Philly, too (ok, I live in the suburbs now, but I still FEEL like I'm from Philly, does that county?). Where'd you have your surgery? I did the Temple program, but did info sessions at Jeff, Penn, and Einstein too.

Sure it counts! Some days I wish I could move to the' burbs (can't do to work).

I had my surgery at chestnut hill hospital. My surgeon (Dr. Meilahn) was at temple for years before he moved over to chestnut hill last year. 

I didn't have a supervised diet requirement, and since I attended an orientation years ago, they didn't make me do it again. I loved being at a smaller community hospital, temple and Jefferson I'm sure are good, but just because of the amount of folks the big name hospitals attract, I think they add more hoops to jump through. From consult to surgery I was less than 8 weeks.

Wow! That's awesome. One of my best friends had her surgery with Meilahn at Temple and loved him! I had my surgery with Dr. Clarke, who worked under Meilahn. 

Pumpkin Quest Bars? OMG, yum! Where do I find them???

Exercise

Already did an hour on the elliptical and plan to go for an epic hike with my neice and nephew this afternoon!

Hope you feel better soon, AV! 

So, yesterday I veered from my plan, and I had:

16 oz decaf coffee

18 oz protein shake (400 cals, 73.5 g protein)

16 oz shake from gym (149 cals, 12 g protein)

Vegan quinoa salad from gym (240 cals, 8 g protein, 44 g carbs!!!!!! )

Sugar free pudding (50 cals)

One Babybel cheese (70 cals, 5 g protein)

Cals: 909 (grumbles)  Prot: 98.5 g  H20: 50 oz

……………………………………………………………….

While I did go over my hoped-for cal intake, I did have a really intense workout at the pool with the trainer.  The kind where I'd have to stop a quarter of the way down the lane just to regain breath. I swallowed a lot of water. 

Today's plan:

I skipped breakfast without meaning to, so that blows. 

18 oz of protein shake throughout the day

L: Tomato Soup

S: Brie cheese and turkey

D: Protein shake from gym

V/W: Started

E: One hour swimming at pool

Cals: 850  Prot: 73.5 g  H2O: at least 48 oz, as I'll be drinking all day.

My goodness,
