What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Yay for tomorrow!  And just so we're clear I'm liking your pending surgery, not the bowel cleanse.  LMAO 

WHOO HOOO! Surgery day, so exciting. and Scary too right?  But we look forward to welcoming you onto the "losers bench!" 

Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow!   

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!!  Who doesn't like a good bowel cleanse??!!?! 

only a WLSer can truly appreciate a good bowel cleanse!!! LOL!!!

My surgery was on a Tuesday,  and I worked the Monday before.  I was a bundle of nerves,  but made it through okay.  

Tomorrow is it, you're going to do great.  Just remember to go slow and stick to plan.  

Saying a prayer for you.  

You'll do great!!

Hello hello ladies,

My weekend was good.  Very productive.  Got both trees up.  Yes, two.  We have a big (fake) one in the living room and I put a little 3 1/2 footer on a table top in the basement family room.  Got them both decorated, and I'm feeling quite Christmas-y despite the very warm (for the northeast) weather. Got s lot of cleaning and organizing done... the only thing left to do are my christmas cards.  I'm mostly done with my shopping as my stepchildren only want money.  I hate that as I love wrapping the gifts! So I still try to buy them something they wouldn't get for themselves.... I'm crazy right???  LOL

AV, Venison backstrap is the BOMB DIGGITY BOMB! Hubby didn't get a deer this year so we're out of backstrap meat until at least next year. So sad! 

Working at home today, which is nice but also a major temptation.  I've put myself into the basement family room to work today because it helps me avoid grazing... if I am in my office area on the main floor I find myself noshing (or thinking about noshing) most of the day.  I'm fine when I am out of sight so, downstairs is the way to go.  

Here's my gameplan for the day.

Breakfast:  
Unjury protein shake - Protein Shake, 1 scoop
Organic Valley - 1% Organic Milk, 1 cup

Lunch:
Sabra - fire roasted salsa (hot), 2 tbsp.
Giant - Oven Roasted Chicken, 2 oz
Cabot - Cheddar Cheese Sharp Light Snack, 1 bar

Dinner:
Pork loin - Pork Loin, 3 oz
Carrots, baby, roasted, 2 oz(s)

Snacks: 
Coffee with Cream - Half and half, 2 oz(s)
Dannon - Light & Fit (Peach), 1 container, 6 oz

Exercise:  60 mins circuit training (BooYah!)

W/V - started

Busy day today, work wise.  And then I have band practice tonight - always a blast but also pretty exhausting.  Have a great and rocking day everyone!!!

Better late then never, right?  It's 3 pm here, but I haven't had lunch so I guess this still counts as planning ahead. I have that giant work project this week so it's going to be a busy one.   This weekend I hit 100 lbs lost since I started working on losing the regain (and beyond). The total in my signature is my total overall since my original surgery, but for the past year and a half I've been "back on the wagon" as it were.  It's sort of a complicated benchmark, but I figure if anyone would understand it would be the folks here.  

Time Since Surgery: 12.9 years, 4.5 months from revision. 

B: Protein Coffee

S: Greek Yogurt & String Cheese (both eaten while running to meetings)

L: Maybe a greek salad with falafel. Not much is still open.

S: P3 protein pack (this might just become lunch instead)

D: A dish my husband makes that I lovingly call stewy meat.  It's tomatoes, eggplant and usually lamb all stewed together.  It's delicious comfort food.

S: Tea and french twists

Totals (if I eat the whole salad, or even still get it for that matter): Cals 1112, Protein 78, Carbs 89, Fat 54
