What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Ok, I seriously need to make a stop at my Walmart and see if they stock these things. Every time I read this on y'alls menu it sounds SO. GOOD.

I could not find them anywhere :(  I finally sucked it up and ordered them from Amazon.

I now have found them in 3 different Walmart stores-so maybe you'll be lucky in your area too!

Hello all! Happy Thursday! 

Well it's too soon to tell what my shape will end up as, but I tried on a few clothing pieces that actually fit me and cried at the sight of a re-emerging waist.  And I see a hint of collarbone too. LOL  seriously, I tried on my Gwynnie Bee shipment and was shocked at the sight of me in a dress. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I also found a few more things in my closets that I can still wear to work - mostly knit tops and items that were too tight before, loose now (and look a lot better).  My closet and drawers are mostly empty at the moment but that's ok. I have enough to get by, and I know clothes won't fit me for long at this early stage in weight loss so, I'm holding back.  As I said yesterday, I may hit a thrift store or two (or use ThreadUp) to fill in on casual items. I also sing in a classic rock band - we perform every 3-4 weeks - and finding clothes for performing will be a trick! Thankfully we don't perform until Memorial Day weekend so I have time. Boy I'm looking forward to hitting the stage with so much more energy!  

Ok, so here's my plan:

time since surgery - 3 1/2 weeks

B - scrambled egg with 2% cheddar stick (grated)

too full for a snack so I will have it later...

L - 1/4 c fat free refried beans, 2% cheddar stick, hot sauce

S - unjury Chicken Soup 

D - 2oz pot roast (the eggface recipe), puréed 

S - 1/4 c ricotta, squirt vanilla SF Torani syrup

totals: 69 G protein, 25 g fat, 14 g carb, 582 cals

E - 1 mile walk, 15 minute beginner yoga workout 

w/v - underway

Off to dry cleanses, and then to donate the bulk of my fall/winter wardrobe to charity! 

Cheers,

Christine

I STILL dont feel hungry or full yet!!  The hunger can STAY AWAY, but the not feeling full is strange.  Although I try not to push my portion sizes also...

It took me awhile to get used to what the new "full" felt like...also I was about 5 months out before I actually felt hunger (god bless those days!)  I loved having to struggle to get calories in, that was the first time in my life that was ever a problem, lol.  Feeling full was a whole different bag of worms for me, it really takes some patience and listening to your body to figure out what the new full feels like.  I'd say I got there around month 6 or so, but we're all different.  Good luck!

Collarbones are THE. BEST. I still find myself stroking mine sometimes. Like a maniac....

I'm a fan of the dainty wrists I apparently have.  LOL  I need some bracelets!

Try the Alex and Ani ones. Got my first one (A's) and LOVE it!

I've found the same with clothes.. Tight in the waist band and baggy in the legs/butt.

Favorite thing to grill would definitely be chicken breast marinated in Italian dressing then made into kebabs with onions and green/red peppers. The asparagus sounds delicious.

Breakfast: Coffee w/ SF vanilla creamer; Coconut mocha protein shake

Snack: L&F strawberry cheesecake w/ 1tbsp chia seeds & 1tbsp fiber one original cereal; almonds; cashews

Lunch: Deli ham rolled with slice of cheese; light string cheese

Dinner: TBD; hopefully grilled chicken w/ veggies

Totals without dinner: Calories: 810  Carbs: 63  Protein: 78

I hope everyone has a great day!
