What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning!  You guys, it's so windy here today; my hair is a hot mess.  LOL  But this time last year it was snowing, so I think I'll take it.  And I must say, the dog looked freaking hilarious during morning walkies with his big ol' beagle ears a-flappin.  He looked like he was going to take flight at any moment.

I have two questions today!  Do you drink soda?  If so, what kind and how much?  And....do you have a nickname?  I'll start.  Yes, I still drink soda; don't judge me.  LMAO  I like Fresca and Diet Sierra Mist and I probably have it 4-5 days a week.  I used to drink a ****ton (actual measurement) of Diet Pepsi pre-op, but I don't like it anymore.  And I don't really have a nickname unless you count when my husband calls me "honey", which I don't.  LOL  I never liked to be called Kris or anything, so I'm just Kristen.  Funny story:  the first time I met my husband he called me Kris and I just looked at him and said "ten".  He was like "what?" and I said "My name is Kris. ten.  Not Kris."  HA!  I was a hardass from day one.

Good morning!

Soda...ah I was a total Diet Coke nut before my lapband surgery. I never thought I'd be able to give it up. Tried it exactly once after surgery--the bubbles were very uncomfortable and the taste was so chemically sweet, I hated it. Not planning on trying again!

Writing this on the go, so no totals from MFP yet but I'm eyeballing it and it looks about right...

B: decaf coffee with skim
S: chai protein drink (hot)
L: cottage cheese with everything bagel spice
S: 2 Swiss cheese and salami roll-ups
D: grilled chicken, melted cheese, salsa and Greek yogurt

Exercise
3 mile run on the treadmill and arms and abs circuit.

Good Morning!

I recently added back diet pop. Just one a day on work days. Sip alittle in the morning, alittle more at lunch, and fini**** up on the way home. 

My mom has always called me "Sha-sha". She is the only one that can get away with that. Dad called me when I was younger "Shell" because my middle name is Michelle. Other than that I'm plain ol' Sarah to everyone else.

B-scrambled egg with sausage and bacon---much better than yesterday!

S-skipping

L-?

S-banana with pb or sf pudding

D-?--grocery shopping day so probably one of the back up frozen meals.

I do not have a nickname. I never like diet soda pre-op, but I have tried drinking it a few times after I passed the six month mark. I'll drink a little diet coke now and then, but I never fini**** We'll see if I start drinking more further out. Sometimes, I just want something to drink other than water!

I can't do soda anymore.  The bubbles get me bad.  I was a Diet Coke **** before surgery and I'm so happy I'm off that train.  The funny thing is, I can still do sparkling wine and beer.  I'm guessing the carbonation isn't as aggressive because it doesn't upset me quite so much.  I have to run to a meeting so here is the skinny.

B: Coffee and fit frappe

S: Fit frappe :)

Yeah, I have to tap the glass on the table a few times to get a lot of the bubbles out.  Or mix it with vodka and ice.

Its a nice 40 degrees here!  I will absolutely take it!  Went for a nice brisk walk before work.

I don't drink soda.  I didnt drink much pre op either, maybe occassionally when going out to eat.  So I don't really miss it.  I go my Melissa.  There is only one old guy at work that calls me Missy...I let him get away with it.  But that is IT! haha

My parent's had a lovely nickname for me growing up, "Nagatha"....I guess I was annoying! LOL

WTF is a size 15??? Is it like juniors or something?  I bought a pair of nice Levi jeans at the Salvation Army a few weeks ago, they were a smidge tight but I bought them anyway.  I am wearing them today.....they fit nicely.  But they are a size 15???!!  I am so confused!  lol

Also, straight leg and skinny are TOTALLY different when it comes to wearing tall boots!  These jeans are straight leg and all I brought to wear are my tall boots.  I kind of tight rolled them to make it work!! HAHAHAH Brings me back to elementary school! Not that comfortable though inside the boots

Do you have knee high socks on?  If so, put them over your pants and ten put your boots on.  Works every time.

I dont *sigh*, but that is a good idea!  

Dont really drink soda only because it doesnt agree with my pouch.
