Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Thursday 11/16/17

Love your new picture!

Thank you so much Cecily!!

Good afternoon!

QOTD - I tried running a few years ago and managed to give myself plantar fasciitis. I would like to start but want to lose some more weight first. My hips are still often sore, and I don't want to aggravate it.

B - latte, cottage cheese

l - tuna salad

S - protein shake

D - salmon

S - hot milk before bed

E - leg day

water and vitamins on track

Morning all! I read every day, but sometimes I am not at my computer and I can't seem to post these from my phone without a ton of effort!

The great news is that after a 13 day stall the scale has moved! I am now at 203.5 (lost 1.5 since the stall ended). It's just so reassuring to know that I am doing this RIGHT! The rules and eating is SOOOO different from when I had my band placed in 2003. I was hoping to get below 200 by Thanksgiving, but I'm happy if not.

QOTD: I have never run for anything (good or bad). I'm not sure I ever will. Hiking and running are NOT my favorites, but maybe that will change. I do love Zumba and group classes.

B - Crustless eggbeaters quiche

S1 - 1/2 of protein shake

L - Buffalo flavored tuna (I love this If you guys haven't tried it) and 5 small green olives

S2 - Greek yogurt

D - TBD since hubs does all the cooking and failed to ask him what was for dinner

E - 2 mile walk this evening (still trying to get up the stamina)

Water and Vites are on track

Going to post even though I'm on a clear liquid diet today for surgery tomorrow. Leaving in about 3 hours for St Louis (2 hour drive) with my baby sister and BIL. We're staying overnight in a hotel, cuz I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am, surgery at 7:30am. I can't wait! LOL I'm probably the only woman in the world who can't wait for menopause and hormone replacement therapy! lol Ute yank tomorrow, bliss the day after!!

QOTD: Running...umm...no. Never have, never will. Like so many of the others say, if you see me running, you had better run, too! lmao

B, L, D: Hot tea, Lipton Diet Green Tea w/Mixed Berry, SF orange jello, beef broth

Water and vites on track

Exercise: Running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything done so I'm ready for post-op!

Good luck tomorrow and speedy, comfortable recovery.

Sending you plentiful good vibes for tomorrow, Cathy! Ute yank... ha!

Good luck!!!

ps I am looking forward to menopause too. Ready to be done with it.

Wishing you a speedy, peaceful and safe recovery Cathy!

I have to admit that I felt that menopause was a relief. I had very large fibroids and I would hemorrhage monthly in my late 30's and early 40's. So when menopause came early (mid-40's), I was very happy. I never did HRT due to heart issues in my family so the hot flashes were terrible but still better than the hemorrhaging. And they trailed off mostly.

I hope surgery goes well!

Sending you wishes, thoughts and prayers for the doctors and nurses skillful hands and for an easy surgery and a quick recovery.

Love the meme. Zombies, yup!

Catching up..
