What's on you Tuesday menu RNYer's?
I had one of us in the cruise ship pool that was kind of cool, but after much careful thought and consideration, decided that Marilyn wouldn't want me to post it on the internet.

That masters swimming sounds like a great workout. But for me I hate the whole having to shower dry my hair do the full make up just to exercise. So, I am with you. I would want to jump out of bed get in pool then start my routine. I need to get my treadmill done in the mornings moving forward so I have not excuse to. I love the pictures. Can't wait to hear the Stories.

Jim, I saw something about a school lockdown at the airport yesterday, "AU" but people were not sure if it was Auburn or Alabama, I think your youngest is at one of them, I hope it was whichever wasn't having the situation!

Great pic's! What do you mean you've had muscle and strength loss from Ozempic? I didn't know that was thing! Why does that happen?

From what I have read, traditional weight loss is about 30% muscle and 70% fat. With Semiglutide drugs, it's more like 50/50. I don't think that they know why. If I could Deadlift 300 pounds two years ago, it's more like 235 now. So, i'm not worried about being frail, but there is definitely a difference.

Good morning! I'm up and ready for the gym. Dressed for success. Amy, I don't look forward to my days with weights, but I am LOVING the changes in my arms and shoulders. It makes is sort of addictive.
Accountability for yesterday. No actual exercise. I filled my day with errands and chores and cleaned out closets and got all the Goodwill stuff packed in my trunk. I did nail 113 grams of protein. But only 266 move calories, 5 minutes of exercise and 6377 steps clocked. I can and will do better today. Food was great. All water, all day. I'm hate I've already used my rest day for the week and it's only Tuesday morning. LOL.
I must say that my partner and I picked 14 out of 14 games right for the football pool this week and even nailed the total points exactly for Monday Night Football. I should go buy a lottery ticket.
QoTD: This question is fraught with emotions for me and I could go on and on. But I won't. My birthday, 2005 was the most perfect time in my life. My weight was reasonable, but also, my home life was time of peace and contentment I won't ever experience again. That said, I am loving my 60's. Truly embracing all the things and working on being the best me I can be. Emotionally, physically, spiritually, as a friend, as a Mom as an MP. Life is very good for me and I am grateful for it and to be able to see it.
Bites today:
B: cottage cheese and rotisserie chicken
L: leftover cod with lime butter and sauteed leeks. 1 zero carb tortilla
3 pm Greek yogurt with jello pudding mix or beef jerky and Quest cheese crackers
D: pork chop and winter hash made with sweet potatoes
9 ish what ever I don't pick at 3 and only if I need it.
All water, all day.
Peace!

I want all the muscles! I had a muscular build my whole life and was always unusually strong until after WLS. I know there was significant muscle wasting. I want to feel strong again and nice arms would not hurt my feelings!!
