What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
Good Morning! Ugh, I must confess I went off the rails last night with snacking. I'm usually pretty good in the evenings and don't typically eat anything after dinner. Last night I was a crazy person; if anyone saw me I probably looked like a walker. LOL And for the love of God, I need to get that popcorn out of my house. I should've given the rest of the box to Matt to take to work.
So, I'm dusting myself off this morning and reporting a NSV to get me motivated. Today, I am wearing a size medium shirt and a size small pants. That's right: small. To be honest, they are drawstring beachcomber-type pants, but still...that tag says SM dammit! LOL
Here's my question of the day: what is your most recent NSV? Let's celebrate the good stuff!
Time since surgery: 10+ months
B: coffee and a Click mocha
S: P3 pack that I didn't eat yesterday
L: ham/Greek yogurt cream cheese/pickle rollups and a cheese stick
D: grilled burger w/slice of velveeta and some tzatziki on the side
TOTALS: Cals: 797 Protein: 76 Carbs: 34 Fat: 39
Have a great day!!
Good morning all! It's like you read my mind AV, I was going to post my new NSV this morning too ;) Yesterday, I typed in my BMI information and I am NORMAL WEIGHT!!! WTF? How can that be? Granted I am a 24.9 but still! I never in a million years would consider myself "normal" but still it made me so excited. Also, it does not matter what type of pants they are you can rock a size SMALL!! Way to go!
Also, I went to my surgical support group for the first time in ages last night. It made me realize I need to go more. Not only does it keep me in check but I am now a valuable resource for those awaiting surgery. One vet (about 8 yrs out) told everyone that if you eat more than 6g of sugar "YOU WILL BE SICK for hours." I don't dump and I made sure to tell everyone not to depend on dumping. Willpower is still required for many post-op. It made me feel like I had given back (at least a bit). LOL.
Time since surgery: 11 months
B: SF Latte and Oat Fit Oatmeal
S: Pork Jerky
L: TJ's chicken strips, shredded cheese and a Carb Conscious Tortilla
S: Iced coffee with cream
D: Omelet with turkey bacon
Post workout: EAS Carb Control Shake
W/V: Started
E: 15 mile bike ride
Totals: Calories 844, Protein 94, Carbs 57, Fat 29
Have a great day all!
Most recent NSV? This probably won't come as a shock to anyone, but the further I get from surgery the harder it is for me to focus on those NSVs and I'm glad you asked this question today - I needed a reminder of all I've accomplished - SVs and NSVs a like. Recently I've bought size SMALL shirts and skirts and I did squat jumps without stopping.
But I think I'll go back to some of my old posts and look at my NSVs to grab some motivation today - I need it!
Time since surgery: 15 months
B: yogurt tube, breakfast sandwich, coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
S: I was supposed to have L&F with almonds but I forgot the yogurt in the fridge so I grabbed a cottage cheese double at Wawa when I stopped for coffee - a swap that is perfectly acceptable, glad I realized early I forgot the yogurt!
L: in an effort to eat more dense protein instead of yogurt and cottage cheese ALL THE TIME I'm having turkey sloppy job, a string cheese, and a granola thin
S: turkey sticks and a babybel light
D: either tacos (insides only) at my sister's if I decide to stop being mad at her, or TJ's turkey meatballs that I didn't eat last night because my meeting ran late and I had to have my emergency protein bar from my purse!
S: popcorn and froyo bar
TOTALS: Calories 1179, Protein 91, Carbs 114, Fat 45
V/W: started
E: either Aqua Zumba or BodyPump tonight, can't decide which!

Good morning all! I had a little issue last night with snackpea crisps (by issue I mean I ate a whole serving). Sometimes when everyone else is snacking, I feel my old out of control self in there fighting to come out. I am thinking it is a back to basics day today. Protein and veggies! I have been trying a little too much lately.
My NSV is trying golf for the first time. My husband and I are taking lessons and we are going to try to take up golf together instead of our old going out to eat together habit. I am really excited to try!
Time since surgery: 8 mos
B: 2 eggs scrambled
L: 2.5 - 3 oz turkey, spinach, cheese stick
S: Light & Fit yogurt
D: 4 turkey meatballs, broccoli
TOTALS: Cals: 749 Protein: 70 Carbs: 21
E: 1/2 hour elliptical, 1/2 hour bike, weight lifting
Vitamins: started
Water: started
High: 295 Pre-surgery: 267 Current: 142 RNY: 10/7/14
Congrats on the size small... woo hoo!! I am racking my brain for a NSV; I have been pretty stoked by the scale going down but haven't had anything off the scale lately. I do have an accomplishment of sorts: while I was doing my menu in MFP, I was trying to figure out a way to work in the Wendy's chili that I bought on the way home last night (I ate one small chili last night instead of my talapia and got another one for today). So, as I am doing my menu, I add the chili and I think, what the hey, I will add 1/2 sour cream and chives baked potato that I also bought for my husband and he didn't eat. So, I add it.... my eyes bugged out when I saw the carb count. And, I thought to myself, "whaddya doing??", so I redid my menu, took off the chili and potato and will eat moderately well... that is an accomplishment for me!!! Before surgery, if I wanted it, I ate it. Now, not so much... it is not worth it. So, yes, I count this as a NSV.
My menu:
B1: Tea with SugarLeaf
B2: Apple Pie greek yogurt... 100 calories.
L: homemade meatballs with a little spaghetti sauce
D: more meatballs with sauce, roasted zucchini with a drizzle of evo
S: protein hot chocolate
Totals: Calories - 805, Protein - 75, Carbs - 50 (still not great), Sugar - 25, Fat - 38
Have a great day!!!!
