What's on your Menu Today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

Darn autocorrect again. It was supposed to be that good choices aren't always easy even at 4 plus years out. But I know you all know that.

I can relate to your post DM, I remember pre surgery when I was big there was no way in this world I could bend over and tie my shoes or lace up boots, I would end up cutting my circulation off and almost passing out, your post speaks to me on a very deep level!  Good for you for yoga pants & a long sweater! Why not!  Oddly I wore yoga pants all the time pre surgery, I am sure I looked horrible. Now I wear them less because I hate all my lose skin and flat saggy butt and figure I look horrible in them at this weight, I guess I can't win ha ha

Great pictures, Daizymom!  You look SO frozen in the top picture!

Love all the decorations!

That snowy cold thing you are living through...looks like you are on the surface of an alien planet. I think I would be dead. I am very thankful to live in Texas right now. You look super cute though!

Thanks! I made that hat so I'm quite proud of it - it's far from perfect, but you can't tell by looking at it.  I am known for my hate of winter, but I do live in Canada and we get winter for 4-6 months of the year- so I'm TRYING really hard to change my mindset about it. 

I think if getting bundled up wasn't such a chore (and it won't be post-op) I could learn to like it a bit more.

OMG girl we could be twins but reverse the colours, I have a purple coat and black hat and I was covered and I mean like actual inches of snow on my head and shoulders while shovelling last night, it was brutal right!  You know my parents & sister live in Bowmanville and I will text my Mom and say "we are getting a snowstorm" and she will text back "oh its sunny and mild here in Bowmanville", its so different being a few hours away, mind you she is super south and I am super North, so I guess it makes sense!

Wow your little village is so beautiful! And I love all your other holiday decorations!  Love that your kids made some, how wonderful!

Since you are seeing the surgeon on Tuesday would it not be amazing to get surgery the week of the 26th or 1st week of January. A lot of people don't want surgery during holidays, it could be here before you know it! I am so excited for you!  Stay warm my friend!  

Ok seriously- your parents are in the next town!!! My best friend is in Powassan- just south of North Bay and the difference in weather is crazy.  I always tell her that this is why I live in Southern Ontario.  Please let me know sometime when you're coming down!!! We'd love to have you and Arun over- or meet you guys somewhere. 

The Santas are really pretty. I have my tree up. I collect so many things. From all of the Christmas movies. I just didn't want to this year. And that is okay. 

We have three parties to go to this weekend. I don't mind I like to get out of the house. I did buy a really cool pair of shoes from a thrift shop that have never been worn before. They are all sparkling. So gaudy I love them. 

When I figure out to post them I will. 

Ran to the store to get two 24oz coffees. It is freaking cold out. But it is winter so I just need to deal with it. 

Low carb today. I was up like three pounds yesterday. I did low carb and I am back down. I am going to continue to do the low carb. I want to see how well it works for me. 

I know I should have been doing that all along. I usually do eat the protein first. But carbs have been slipping back in.

B:Hard boiled eggs

L:Tuna and some cheese

D:Burger bun

Vitamins are in. Water and coffee and lots of it. 

Those carbs taste so good they are always right there wanting back in here too,Susan!
