What's on your menu today (Tuesday) RNYers?

I can't imagine how shocked your dad must have been. I hope you have fun unpacking and getting settled in, when do the movers anticipate they will arrive?

"but please don't call for global warming to come back just because it's cold outside."

I see what you did here!!

Seriously, Daze?! That IS such a nightmare! Even a daily one hour commute sounds horrible, but FIVE hours....wow. I'm glad you made it home safely, even with your crazy wiper situation! We're supposed to get rain/snow here and I'm sure the moment the first staffer walks in the door they'll start asking me if we're going to close early.

QOTD: My "sport" was dance. By the time I was in high school, I was dancing 3 or 4 nights a week. The studio I went to was not like a ballet training school, there was no expectation anyone leaving there would be classically trained and heading to the Julliard. But I took ballet, pointe, jazz, occasionally modern and Irish Step, and was a "leader" for little kids classes - which I adored. Oh Mrs. Treon was such an important influence in my life, how I adored her!

Time since surgery: 4 years, 11 months

B: coffee with half and half, egg cups

S: Siggi's

L: rotisserie chicken with BBQ sauce, string cheese

S: turkey sticks

D: leftover Cuban pork with sweet potato

S: PB pretzels for the win

This week I'm really focusing on getting back in the habit of hydrating! I realized that for months there would be days that I would drink my morning coffee and have NOTHING throughout the day. In the new library we have fancy filtered bottle fillers built into the water fountains, so I treated myself to a new water bottle and am going to town. I clearly need ANOTHER water bottle like I need a hole in the head, but if a $7 Homegoods buy is what it takes to get me back in the habit - so be it!

Also guys, this popped up in my FB memories today and it basically felt like an out of body experience! I barely recognize myself in that girl (especially with straight hair, but that's another thing entirely).

It took me a few moments to find you!

Right?! This was freshman year of college, so I was 18 - 17 years ago!

WOW! Such transformation! That's crazy!

Daisy that's terrible!! I know the routine though, in college I drove a car that didn't have heat/defrost (I couldn't afford to fix it) so I either had to stop along my route to scrape my windows periodically, or drive with my head out the window too. I hope you're able to get the wiper replaced soon!

I got ahead of my migraine yesterday so didn't get a full-blown ordeal, but I do have a weird post-migraine groggy head this morning and I feel like I didn't even sleep. I hope coffee will help.

qotd: I played softball and volleyball through middle school and high school, and intermural softball my first year of college

breakfast: Greek L&F, then coffee with Premier at work

lunch: I didn't check the menu yesterday, so if it's not a good protein choice, I'll do a salad with diced chicken breast

dinner: on my own tonight and I'll see how I feel, but I might just be looking at a tuna packet and maybe cottage cheese.

Good Morning Daisy and Menu Family!

Wow Daisy, what an ordeal! I'm so sorry.

QOTD: I was not athletic, but I rode my horse a lot and did take gymnastics and diving although I didn't go very far in either of those.

Accountability: Yesterday: Protein - 95, Calories 1,268, Carbs - 190.

Today I have to drive 3 hours to my 3-year check up with my gastric bypass surgeon. I can't believe it's been (almost) 3 years already. I dread that long drive for a 10 minute appointment and then the 3 hour drive back home and especially driving in the big city. But after this appointment I only have to go once a year.

B: prosciutto & mozzarella sticks, light & fit Greek yogurt, banana

L: 160 calorie meal, light & fit Greek yogurt

D: microwave meal

S: light & fit Greek yogurt, prosciutto & mozzarella sticks

Have a wonderful day everyone!
