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

Yay for Meatfest!

Good morning! Hope everyone is well rested and ready to face another day. I had to drug myself with benedryl last night so I could get to sleep. For some reason I can't get my brain to shut off at night and it's been making it hard to fall asleep lately. I think I'll start doing my guided meditations again before sleeping.

accountabilit: stayed the course all day but I did go over my calorie limit last night because I just had to have an extra snack. There are a lot of worse things than Greek yogurt and freeze dried raspberries though so I don't feel terrible about it but I need to stay inside my 600 limit so I can get the scale to move.

QOTD: I really need to - stop and smell the roses. I feel like I've been so stressed and overwhelmed by the random facets of life that I am worked up about all of the what if's and the coulds, shoulds and woulds. I need to just take a step back and BREATHE. It's so hard to do that though. So much to do and so little time hahaha.

b- chocolate pp

l- ground turkey with ranch seasoning

d- chicken bacon pineapple sausage

s- light and fit Greek yogurt (Zach found the pumpkin pie one!!!!!!), maybe pickles or maybe some laughing cow wedges

v- patches

e- dog walking with Zach if I get home in time

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Glad you found the pumpkin pie yogurt! I might experiment with adding pumpkin pie spice to plain yogurt too :)

last year I mixed plain Greek yogurt with canned pumpkin (I think it was about a 2:1 ratio - as in twice as much yogurt as canned pumpkin), and then added in the pumpkin pie spice. I may have added some artificial sweetener as well. It was pretty good!

Ohhh...I might try that and use butternut squash. I grow the stuff and I'm about to be buried in it. It tastes so similar to pumpkin, it just may work

should work - just roast it and puree it. Now that I think about it, I think I added a brown sugar/Splenda blend as a sweetener (I would have added an artificial sweetener that tasted like brown sugar, but I couldn't find one - I just found the blends). At the end of last fall I picked up some maple syrup flavoring or extract. This year I'll put some of that in in addition to Splenda or stevia - then I might not need the brown sugar flavor, and thus, I can punt the blend (and make it lower calorie/less sugar)

I do actually have some Splenda brown sugar. Ooohhh I'm going to add pecans.

This is getting gourmet.

oh yea - pecans would be great in there!

once or twice I put some oats in mine and stuck it in the fridge overnight. Oo la la. The calories started getting pretty high, though. But wow...

Good morning,
