What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Well I hope you figure out the blood pressure thing, hopefully it was just a fluke!?!?!

Doctor's offices....pains in the butt! ugh

Oh my! Take care of yourself! Meditate, yoga, get a massage. Or take a long bath ;)

Yikes, be careful!

Hoping your BP takes care of itself and that your doc situation gets sorted- * hugs *

To your health,

Hoping the BP was just because you were rushing around. Good luck!

Good morning everyone. I've been MIA for a while. I've also been stalled for about that amount of time. Coincidence? I think not. Accountability is powerful. I've also been struggling with reactive hypoglycemia. My primary physician said eat 6 times a day and make sure I get complex carbs. 1 serving=15grams x 6 = 90 carbs a day. I have no idea if this is really what I need. I'm doing lots of research. The struggle is, to keep calories low, portions are low. Too low for me to feel full most of the time. Anyway, that's my struggle for the moment. I am training for a 5K, and I think, ironically, it is contributing to the hypoglycemia in the short term. I think long term it will help. I hate not having the answers!

Anyway, this is today:

B: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, grape tomatoes, 1/2 cup fairlife skim in my coffee

S: 2 oz chicken, 1/2 slice muenster cheese, three small figs

L: turkey sausage, apple, and sweet potato casserole

S: cutie sections and 100 cal almonds

D: chickpea, tomato, cucumber, fresh mozzarella salad

S: grapes, cheddar cheese, roast beef slice

CAl:1104, protein: 91 , carbs: 94

Exercise: Core power class (30 min), walk 10 min, run 20 min.

Sorry you are dealing with the reactive hypoglycemia, no fun and sounds like a pain!

Good morning. I'm here to confess I ate like crap yesterday. I was completely hit by the sugar monster (which I'm usually good at avoiding). I ate pretzels covered in salted caramel and chocolate then went to a girls game night/birthday party and ate appetizers, a glass of wine, a full dinner and a piece of cake. I met my protein goals but my carb consumption was OUT OF CONTROL. Trying to reign it in today and get back on track. Also, the friend that I run with convinced me to run the Los Angeles Rock n Roll half marathon this weekend. We literally signed up 10 minutes before online registration closed. WHAT WAS I THINKING?? My training has been a bit derailed and I was actually thinking of pulling out of the RNR half marathon in Las Vegas that I'm supposed to be running on November 15. But no, instead of pulling out, I sign up for another one 3 weeks before. I think my brain was covered in sugar from my indulgences and my better judgment was clouded. stupid, stupid, stupid.

Here's my food plan for the day:

B: Turkey, spinach and cheese,

S: half a pear and somersaults

L: Chicken thigh meat, grapes

S: Dannon light and fit and Peanut butter

D: Tri Tip and salad

S: Outshine Bar

Exercise will probably be a short run since by signing up for another 1/2 my training schedule was blown to pieces.

Totals: Cal. 1,117; Protein: 92g; Fat: 45g; Carbs: 79g

Have a GREAT day, everyone!

YOU GOT THIS!! I'm so jealous of both of your RnR halfs!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence!
