What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning everyone.  My early morning meeting was cancelled, so I am posting earlier than usual.  My day started off on a happy note with The Rolling Stones announcing their North American tour dates.  The closet they will come to me is San Diego, and I am thinking of going if I can score tickets.  I am a HUGE Stones fan and have seen them live 11 times (yes, I said 11) in various cities in the West.  People always ask me how many more times I am going to see them, and I always say "One more time then I already have."

When I eat out, I try to find things that I know I won't have a problem with.  Usually a salad with protein and/or soup.  Grilled fish is also a good choice for me.  I had a great salad the other day and recreated it for my Dad last night.  It was a Crab Citrus salad with butter lettuce, crab, avocado, sliced olives and grapefruit sections.  I used a lemon vinaigrette to fini**** off.  Delicious!  I'm thinking a little shaved fresh fennel would be good on it too.

Time Since Surgery: 4 months + 1 week

B:  1/2 cup steel cut oats, 1 tsp honey and dried cherries

S:  Light and Fit Greek Yogurt - Cherry

L:  1/2 Smart Ones Tuna Gratin (left over from lunch yesterday)

S:  Portobello pizza

D:  2 oz. beef tenderloin, 2 oz. roasted green beans

S:  1/2 cup ff cottage cheese

TOTALS:  Calories 647, Carbs 73, Fat 16, Protein 61, Sugar 30

W/V:  Vitamins started, need to step up the water

E:  Zumba!

I am a little low on calories and protein, so I may add a little cheese or something along the way.  Have a great day and be well. 

Wow, that crab citrus salad has all of my favorite things!

It was great and super fresh tasting, and so easy to throw together after work.  It would be equally delicious with shrimp.

Good Morning All,

I am with Anny, Chipotle is my favorite as well.  I think I love it for multiple reasons: 1. It's got pretty decent #'s for "fast food", 2. There are a ton of them around 3. It's 3 meals (which is like a mini NSV b/c I could eat a whole bowl, plus chips and guac pre-op and then be ready for another meal a few hours later...now I'm one of those girls who looks at the bowl and think "what am I going to do with all that food?" and I get a cheap thrill, lol) and 4. Most people like it so it's an easy sell when I'm with others.  Also, I eat a ton of tuna tartar out at restaurants.  In fact I had it last night.  At least out in So Cal, it's always on the app menu and it usually comes with wonton chips.  I'll not have any chips (or 1 or 2 at most) and eat all of the tuna (which also typically comes with avocado, another favorite of mine).  That's my standard going out to eat dinner and I haven't been sick of it yet :)  Plus, b/c it's an app, it's usually portion controlled and you get a cup max of it (usually less), so I can eat the whole plate if I'm hungry and not feel guilty.

Time since surgery: 14.25 months

B - Lean Cuisine breakfast sandwich (I was going to swear these off, but I realized I was a lot less hungry leading up to lunch when I was eating these, so I thought I'd try it again)

L - TJ's just grilled chicken strips and a yoplait greek yogurt (haven't tried yoplait brand yet, but I grabbed this instead of my trusty L&F last night on accident)

S - String Cheese

D - TBD (I'm thinking Italian Turkey Meatloaf from TJ's)

S - Yasso salted carmel bar (holy hell, how did I just discover these after seeing you all post about them?!?!  I saw them last night at the store (the last box) decided to try them ate one and almost fainted at how good it was....this is my new favorite thing I think)

W/V - On track

E - Weight lifting tonight and maybe something horrible like burpees or jump rope to try and get a little cardio in...but we'll see how up for torture I am :)

Have a great day everyone!

Those salted caramel bars...I know right!  The last time I bought a box I had to ask a very tall gentleman to grab the box for me because it was on the top shelf, all the way in the back, and I couldn't reach it.  LOL  I was not leaving Wegmans without them!

Seriously, I've never been so glad to be a dumper when I eat too much sugar b/c I easily could have had a second or third bar last night.  OMG those things are good...do they come in other flavors that are equally delicious?  I may start stalking local stores for them....I'm worried for myself, lol :)

The mint chocolate chip is also delicious.  A friend told me.

haha...OMG, I LOVE mint choc chip.  Let the super market stalking officially begin :)
