Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Tuesday 10/24/17

Morning! It's wet and windy here this morning. I believe this is blowing in the cold front because I see a chance of the 's' word in our 10-day forecast and much cooler temps. I'm pretty sure today is one of those days that I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached. I have my 9-month bari center follow up at 8:30am, so I'll be out the door by 7am and it's messed up my whole morning!

QOTD: Do you like snow? I normally appreciate our first big storm of the year where we get a solid 12-18" of snow. I think this meme is fitting:

9 months post-op/Maintenance/134.5lbs

M1: Coffee, PP, Miralax, HC

M2: Fage Total w/ SF Pudding Mix & Pepitas

M3: Chicken Sausage & Black Beans

M4: Smoked Pork Chop

M5: Yogurt w/ Pecans

S: TBD, might not get a lot of time to snack today

E: Kettlebell class at 11am if I'm back from my appointment in time

Welcome to Tuesday! It is going to be rainy (and depressing) here the next couple of days. So hard to WFH in these last days (the final 2 work weeks after this one will be the pits).

QOTD: I like the way snow makes everything look so clean and pretty when it is falling. I don't like the shoveling, slipperiness, cold, or messiness after the first day. Hence our plan to winter in Florida!

1.5 years post-op (maintenance). 12 work days to retirement (11/13).

B: eggbeaters, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: vegetarian chili

D: pulled pork

S: almonds, Halo Top

Good morning. The cold I've been struggling with is now full fledged laryngitis. I called out of work (it's kind of hard to teach without a voice . . .). My stomach felt pretty wonky yesterday - extra gurgly and full for a couple of hours after meals, even though I didn't over eat. I think I'm going to stick to protein shakes, at least until dinner.

QOTD - I love snow, as long as I don't have to travel in it. I even enjoy shoveling.

B, L, S - latte, protein shake

D - steak if I'm up for it, another shake if I'm not

E - still resting

water and vitamins on track

QOTD: I have mixed feelings - I love being home for a big blizzard and love the look of snow - then I wonder why my grandparents decided to immigrate to Boston instead of someplace warm, like California, haha.

B: cheerios

L: hummus that I didn't eat yesterday with a yellow pepper

D: IDK, nothing defrosted

E: It's rainy - so doubtful. Have a lunchtime walk scheduled with a co-worker who I rarely see, but we'll see what the weather is doing.

Today is a day for doctors. I'm seeing my reconstructive surgeon and my bariatric surgeon today. Hopefully everything will go well with both. The first appointment is my last pre-op appointment so I get to give the surgeon all of my money. Woo!

I'm feeling better physically today. I think my only pain is my persistent plantar fasciitis pain in my left heel, so this is good.

QOTD: I like snow if I don't need to go anywhere. One good snow per winter. Anything other than that? No thank you.

1: protein shake
2: protein bar due to appointments and driving
3: butter poached tilapia and arugula, rice for the guy

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: hopefully a short walk when I get home

This morning I got tickets for the first showing of Star Wars for me and my parents!!! WOO HOO!!!!

more later!

QOTD: we get that stuff about once every four years, unless we wanna drive up the mountain to play in it. I can look out my kitchen window and look at it on the mountain while I have my morning coffee.

AM: Espresso w/white choc & almond rocha

B: toast with butter - 200 cal, but luscious

L: red grapefruit

THERAPY DAY

D: chicken breast, cottage cheese, hummus

hopefully my Jura will come back from being serviced (way too soon, a sensor went out) and I will have luscious fresh espresso again....

Good morning,

Qotd as I get older I hate it more and more. It is pretty coming down but do not like to get out in it.

I got released yesterday to do my exercise again as long it does not cause pain. Back to walking today and my exercises for my hip.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D making emiepie spaghetti squash casserole and coleslaw

Have a good day

Good morning!

We have had two beautiful days of sun and I have been taking full advantage of it. Had a great hike along the lake yesterday with my dog Emmy. Plan on doing another one today. Below is a picture from our hike.

QOTD-Erin, that meme is absolutely fitting for me as well! December is lovely, clean, white and crisp. The next 5 months are a cold, gray bucket of suck! Everything is dirty, icy and so horribly cold the snow from December just becomes a hard, crusty bottom layer.

B-plain Greek yogurt w/2tsp SF pistachio pudding mix and pumpkin seeds

L-Vanilla PP shake

S-Chai tea w/cream and Epic jerky(chicken)

D-Baked cod and 1/2 avocado

E-Hike with dog

Lovely picture Kristi T :)

Thank you Shirl, it was a beautiful day.
