What's on your TUESDAY Menu, RNYers?

Something that may help when you want all the salt is to microwave turkey pepperoni into little crisps!

Oh, I will try that! Crispy pepperoni sounds delicious no matter what.

So sorry about the terrible day yesterday,JB. Praying for a much better one today. I agree with Em's comment--just not sure the stress of the job and problems with staff are worth it. I know you love the kids,but is this really the best place to make the difference you want to? A question only you can answer. Accountability stunk yesterday. Two pieces of fudge were eaten and Lily and I only got a minimal walk. Today will be better. Weight today is 126.4. QOTD we don't buy many presents but my mother in law is probably the hardest to buy for. Heres the food for today B 2/3 c earnest eats apple crush hot cereal L 4 oz tuna with mayo and relish 3 grape tomatoes D 4 oz chicken few bites broccoli S sm apple with 1 T peanut butter. Have a great day full of amazing choices everyone! Off to make some coffee!

Good Morning JB and Menu Peeps,

JB sorry to read about the stress of your job. It stinks that you are going through this right now but it's good that you were able to stick to your eating plan and not let the stress lead to stress eating!

We are still struggling with Chico. Some days I think he is getting better and then the next day I think he isn't. One step forward and two steps back... today he had an accident in the house and that is the first ever. I know I am being selfish and not wanting him to go. I am so sad.

QOTD: My husband is the most difficult to buy for. He doesn't like Christmas and all that it has become. He also is very aware of everything, so it is hard to surprise him with anything.

M1: inside of a ham and swiss quiche

M2: PP chocolate shake

M3: inside of a chicken fajita

M4: pear

M5: chicken chili (going to our friend's house who also had wls)

Easily getting in my water and vitamins. No exercise today but I did receive my medal for the snowman virtual race I completed last week. That is motivating!

Great job Karen the virtual race sounds fun!

Such a tough spot to be in with a furbaby. I hope today is better for Chico. Love the medal-virtual races are fun.

I'm sorry you are having some issue at work- that sucks. I'm feeling it also. It is a huge victory to not eat your feelings in times of turmoil, stress, happiness, sadness, boredom (big one for me)

Well the ice started to melt, we got power back on yesterday about 11:30- the freezer food did not spoil. and as the ice started melting yesterday afternoon, it started SNOWING!!! so I'm not sure if the roads are ok or not but DH has to leave here at 8:45 and I might just ride with him and drop him off and go into office. was super worried about the weather last night and almost packed and went to my mom's house but decided to stick it out.

QOTD:hmmmm not sure- i think it is hardest to buy for my nephew at this time. computer games are expensive and he is preteen so he doesn't like much else.

Food for today:

coffee

water

chicken curry and green beans

chicken sausage

coffee

more water

exercise will be the gym? if i make it out of the house!

Good morning JB and menu crew, sounds like you had an awful day JB, hope today is better. My day was good, working on a couple of interesting projects, not everything we develop makes it to market and it can be interesting, many products I thought were going to be well received were not, so we keep developing.

QOTD - My wife, she is particular about clothes and I consider myself a good shopper so it requires time and thought to get her gifts, not a bad thing though.

Today is protein shake day.

Nothing but shakes. Had a bad weekend of eating and made a quick bad choice last evening for dinner so I am back where I need to be. This weekend we are going to another Xmas party - ( 3 weekends in a row and I have decided I will NOT consume any alcohol and will be the DD)

Stay healthy my friends, Mike

It's funny that you say that about your wife because I am the same way only about absolutely everything! So I guess I'm the hardest person to buy for! I sent my husband a wish list of exactly what I wanted and I'm still worried!

What kind of projects/products do you develop??

Being the DD really helps with discipline!!
