What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?
Good morning and a belated Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! I hope your children and husbands treated you well. I actually scored my filtered water bottle AND the chaise lounge I wanted. A life of leisure indeed! But, of course it rained yesterday so I didn't get to use my lounge chair as much as I wanted. My son made me breakfast, too. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich. LOL I shared it with my husband and it was the best PBJ I've ever had. And then we went out for brunch and my food choices went downhill from there. Whatevs, I had a good day.
What did you do yesterday? Take your mom out for lunch? Lie on the couch and binge watch movies?

AV, you are one spoiled mama! I too over ate on Mother's Day. We went to the Avengers movie in the morning, had frozen pizza for lunch, I took a nap and then my husband and daughter made me banana bread which I proceeded to eat far to much of. My calories we only over by a couple hundred but I don't think I managed to get in 1/2 of my protein. Oh well, today is a new day!!
OK, strange question, but has anyone ever burnt their tongue so bad it blistered? On Saturday I took a drink of coffee I had warmed up in the microwave and seriously killed my mouth. By late Saturday it looked like my taste buds were swelling, by Sunday morning it looked like small round blisters on my tongue. They have slightly decreased in size today but they still hurt and I can't taste much :( Anyone done something similar or know what might heal it faster?? Ugh...

Ouch! I've totally had that happen, but I have no words of wisdom for helping it heal, sorry!

Yikes! Exactly how hot was this coffee? Lava temp? LOL
Sorry. *ahem* I would say maybe something cold, like popsicles, to numb it. I also read that you can open a vitamin E capsule on your tongue to help new tissue growth.
Oh man, you cleaned up on Mother's Day! Good work. Did you get the Brita bottle I recommended? I hope you actually like it!
I had a fun Mother's Day with my fam. My parents came down to my sister's place and I took brunch (two different quiches, berries - and whipped cream for those who wanted to indulge -, and this amazing sour dough raisin bread) and we ate on the patio. It was so lovely, though I actually ate bread, which I pretty much never do, and it didn't sit super well...
Time since surgery: 1 year +
B: coffee with cream, breakfast sandwich
S: deli ham and Thin Addictives with Laughing Cow (this is like the go-to snack on the post lately LOL)
L: feeling uninspired so a Chobani Flips and some Somersaults (very gymnastics themed lunch)
S: turkey sticks and a Babybel
D: Quest Bar and Trek mix (damned meeting at 6:30!)
S: 100 calories bag of popcorn and a Yasso bar

V/W: started
E: cardio at the gym on my own - 15 minutes on the Arc Trainer, 10 minutes rowing, 20 minutes on the elliptical
When I got to the gym this morning I realized I had forgotten to put my Fitbit on my sports bra which is perhaps the most annoying thing EVER. Seriously, EV-ER! I mean we all know the exercise doesn't count if your Fitbit isn't tracking it...

I did get the Brita bottle and I love it! I'm not usually a straw person, but I'm finding that I can drink much more water this way. Weird, right?
I always forget my FitBit. I'm a terrible exerciser anyway, but on the days I actually get some activity in I'm like "Man, I wish I had my FitBit on". LOL
Ya! I'm glad you like it. I've also noticed that with this particular bottle I can really suck it down quickly!
