What's on your Menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

Sugarless gum really helps me as well... I use it all the time when I think I need something, when in fact, I'm bored and my mouth just wants something to chew on!

Yep, sugarless gum can be a lifesaver!

I love to watch the sun and moon rise and set. I worked nights in a tall building. You can see the sunrise with the Cascade mountains on one side and it sets over the Olympic mountains. I drive down to the beach a lot to watch the sunset. I either go with my wife or my dog.

No hamburger like I thought. We had pressure cooker vegetables and sausage. Also some sous vide egg bites from Starbucks.

My goal this week is increasing fluid intake.

Morning friends.... Guess it is going to be a hot one today here as well. Already got the air conditioning running at the office but by noon I will be freezing my office mate likes it to be a meat locker. Oh well that is why I dress in layers.

QOTD: Unfortunately I see the sunrise more than I want to I often wake up and my mind will not shut off so I get up and start my day. However, I like in a wooded area so the sun rising and setting is not a real picture perfect thing.

Accountability: Yesterday I stayed on plan except for lunch I forgot yesterday was meeting day so we ordered out for lunch so I had roast beef instead of egg salad.

My food for the day:

B: Bacon, 10 grapes 1/4 banana

L: egg salad, slice of wheat bread and cottage cheese

S: yogurt

D: chicken

S: SF Popsicle

Have a great day my friends...

BACON!!!!!!!!! YUM!!!! :)

hey yall

quick one for me today. went to see gastro (not the specialized one, that is on the 31st). Basically my biliary duct where it connects is messed up and that is why I'm having the attacks. He even said he doesn't think it has anything to do with food it is just not functioning properly which is why the liver numbers were so high when I was having the attacks. basically no one can 'scope' to fix it because of where it is (and our revised anatomy) and otherwise surgery if no one can go through the scope which is why I need to see that specialist.

So, have to see surgeon tomm and will call today to ensure he is up to speed on what is being discussed, then the other dude on 31st. Either way, still on liquids which makes me a not happy person.

QOTD: the dogs wake us up once the sun is up and sometimes int he evening we sit outside and hang out with the chickens while the sun goes down.

Accountability: hmmm, well liquids. I did have a tiny bit of steak yesterday because I was about to go nuts and did have 2 health warrior bars for 100 calories each. The rest of the time liquids/yogurts.

I'm glad you're at least getting some answers!

I've never had a pet wake me up in the morning. We had a cat that WANTED to do this but after we started putting him out at night and leaving him out, he seemed to catch on. I'm planning on getting a puppy this fall and I'm hoping hoping hoping he'll grow into the opportunistic sleeper that my other dogs all became (as in, let's sleep until we have to get up!)

The breed I selected is known for being chill, so I'm hoping that will work to my advantage. They are also around 35lbs so their bladder should be able to hold on a little longer in the morning. Yes, I actually take all of these things into account LOL! Mostly because I work days and want a dog that doesn't HAVE to be let out during the day. That said I'm planning on doggy day care to fill in on the days I'll be gone the most, and obviously all day care until he's old enough to hold it longer :)

Yeah... I'm seriously missing having a dog. My sister and her family were cruel enough to take their dog, Porter, to the lake this summer so I only see him on the occasional weekend!

My cat wakes me up PROMPTLY at 6:15 every morning to demand morning worship and tribute. She does this by trying to smother me with her fur body across my face. If I ignore her, she bites my nose. Very dramatic.

our chihuahua will come over and paw our faces until we get up to take him. the other chihuahua slithers her way up to us like a snake and licks our faces till we wake up.

I'm not a cat person but I have to say, That is awesome!!
