What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?
Three day work week-- ME, ME, ME!!! I'm not going anywhere for Thanksgiving-- that'a my self preservation strategy for the holiday. Being around family I would be [more] tempted to eat crap. Staying home means I control what I cook and [hopefully] what I eat. My lack of control around family was proven yesterday- I went to my nieces birthday party. Had a cupcake, cookie and then split another cupcake with my sister. I was planning on one cupcake-- the other stuff was impulsive since I saw my sister/niece/cousin indulging lots (they are also WLS peeps.) Though they tasted yummy, digestion was not fun-- they were all very rich and fatty foods/oils don't agree with me.
I have the 5k to run Thanksgiving morning. Race starts at 9am and an email said awards wold start at 9:30AM. I'm a bit discouraged-- I know I won't be getting an award... but geez--I'm now I'm wondering if I'll be the last/only one left running. I'm estimating it'll take me about 40-45 minutes to finish. Ugg!! I'll cook and head out to shop later in the evening and all day Friday :-)
M1: Sriracha Chicken breast/ham & cheese stick, Yogurt & granola
M2: BBQ Chicken wings/salad
M3: Split chicken breast are in the fridge-- not sure how I'll make them or what I'll make them with
No meal 4 today (technically I combined meal 1&2 into just meal 1)
I'm so happy my shows are on a winter break till February-- I can get more gym time in during the week now :-)

Thanksgiving, not my favorite holiday, too much food and family. I am also not a fan of Christmas. I guess I'm just a Grinch..
We go to my in-laws in Northern Wisconsin. These are the family members *****sent me for having WLS. All of them are morbidly obese but choose not to do anything about it but ***** Not one of them has ever congratulated me or commented on my weight loss. I am truly an elephant in the room (albeit a small one now ) I will eat Turkey and snuggle with my kiddos most of the day. Not so bad in the grand scheme of things.
I also work on Friday. I would rather not take the vacation day for an uber slow day. I can get some organizing and filing done without being interrupted. I DO NOT have to teach swim lessons this weekend. WHOO HOO! Finally a real weekend off! I love teaching but it means I work 7 days a week. I will not be doing that next session. I am so happy to have the weekend to relax.
