What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
Good Morning All,
In terms of mattresses, I bought the "W" mattress after staying at one of their hotels for a few nights and having the best sleep of my life, and it's been a great mattress. I have had it for about 8 years now and love my bed. It's pretty firm though, and that's what I like, so I know it's not for everyone. Have you ever stayed at a hotel where you loved the bed? Most hotels will sell their mattresses, so that's an idea if it's something your into. I don't remember my mattress being crazy expensive either, I mean, its wasn't a screaming deal, but it was in line with what I was seeing at mattress stores.
In terms of best thing I ate, I've been in a total rut too (and my cupboards are bare as well) so I will be of no help in that department. Which sucks because I hate going grocery shopping without a solid plan in place, that's when chips/crackers/candy end up in my cart...eeek!
Time since surgery: 15 months tomorrow
B - 1/4 Denver Omlette
L - Leftover rotisserie chicken with bell peppers, cucumbers and tomato
S - String Cheese
D - TBD after shopping, I'll prob be lazy and get more pre made chicken slices
W/V - On track
E - Walk at lunch and weight lifting when I get home (mamata, I never got around to the booty video, I swear I'm going to start tonight though :) I'll keep you posted).
It's sunny and beautiful today in NC. Hope it gets nice there, too. I do have a sleep number bed that I am not in love with. I will tell you that I have had it several years and I just think they are not designed for obese people. When I make my side softer than my husband's, I feel like I am in a hole and then when I roll to his side, I feel like I am balancing on a beach ball! I have noticed though, that since I have started losing weight, it does sleep better... I think the problem has been me!! LOL
Best thing I ate last week was my 1st slice of cucumber since probably January. It was quite good! Focusing on protein, protein, protein has made me really miss vegetables.
My menu today:
B: Vanilla Premier Protein Shake with 1 oz. of dry SF FF pudding mix (chocolate) and ice. Was only able to get 1/2 down. Will save the rest for when I get home tonight after work.
L: 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1/2 banana (guess I am missing fruit, too)
D: Starkist tuna pouch (2.6 oz), 1/4 cucumbers and a little 3 cheese ranch dressing (if I can fit them after the tuna)
S: Apple Pie Quest Bar (1/2 mid day, 1/2 evening)
Totals: Calories: 641, Protein: 71, Carbs: 67 (still too high)
Everyone have a great day!!!

Good morning everyone. I am back from my long weekend in Seattle, and had a great time. They have an incredible Nordstrom Rack in downtown Seattle that I love. I bought a cute Tory Burch skirt and a Vince Camuto linen shirt for cheap. I also ate and drank way too much, but it was big fun. I logged everything in MFP to keep myself honest, but it is now back to the real world.
My mattress is really important to me, so I do not mind spending a lot for one that I really like. I like a super squishy mattress, so I have one with a huge pillow top. I can't remember the brand, but it is so comfortable. I never have any aches or pains from sleeping. It is 19" thick, so buying fitted sheets for it can be a challenge, but I love the darn thing.
The best thing I have eaten lately is some pate at a French restaurant in Seattle. It was country style, which means that it is made of ground meat instead on liver, butter and cream (although I love that too, but it is loaded with fat and calories). I ate it without the bread, and it was delicious!
Time Since Surgery: 5 months today!
B: Egg beater omelette with light mozzarella cheese and bacon bits
S: Light and Fit Greek Yogurt - Strawberry, 1/2 cup grapes
L: 1/2 Lean Cuisine Baked Chicken entree
S: Trader Joe's Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage Link
D: 3 oz grilled halibut, roasted asparagus
S: 1/2 cup ff cottage cheese
V/W: In process, but I need to kick up the water
E: I have my Dad tonight, so I will try to get in a walk at lunch.
TOTALS: Calories 649, Carbs 42, Protein 82, Sugar 22
I am a little low on calories, but after this weekend, I'm in need of a couple of low calorie days.
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Everybody,
