What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning all!  10 shopping days until Christmas, for anyone who's counting.  I'm going to come clean and say I haven't purchased a single gift.  Well, that's not true.  We're doing a Secret Santa gift exchange on another message board I belong to and I bought her a gift, but even that I haven't wrapped/shipped.  I guess I better get on that.  LOL 

And if anyone has an opinion, should I go xBox 360 or xBox One?  My son wants yet another gaming system.  I said 'no way' but my husband is relenting because he is much more benevolent than I.  LOL

Time since surgery:  2 days shy of 17 months

B:  coffee, baked banana oatmeal

S:  Activia Light strawberry Greek yogurt

L:  Buffalo chicken salad, pork rinds and a cheese stick

D:  chicken piccata, spring mix w/Italian dressing and some rice

TOTALS:  Cals:  828  Protein:  85  Carbs:  6128  Fat: 

It's Tuesday.  Be careful out there.  LOL 

I'd say Xbox one, because that what we got for my son lol. We have the 360, he wanted to upgrade. I hear some of the 360 games are playable on the Xbox one. We got the 1TB xbox1 (vs. the 500gb one), because I hear certain games use up a lot of memory quickly. I was not thrilled about getting my son 'only' a video games system/games, so I ordered him some books to create a semblance of balance :-)

I still need to buy for my husband, but with all this house moving crap going on, I dont know when I will have time.  I know what I want to get him, just need to go do it!  ugh

8 1/2 months since surgery

B: 3/4c Fairlife skim milk, 1 scoop Syntrax milk chocolate

L: 4oz tuna, 1 tbsp mayo, a few little chunks of raw celery

D: Kayem pineapple & uncured bacon sausage, 1/4c riced cauliflower with a sprinkle of fresh parm cheese

S: (throughout the day) 2 Baybel light cheese, dannon L&F Greek yogurt

Totals: Cals: 667  Protein: 89  Carbs: 22  Fat: 24

I may have another snack in there somewhere if I need it.  I am going to try REALLY REALLY hard today to not let the stress carb head hunger get to me.  SO MUCH STRESS with this stupid house selling stuff?!?!?!?!  NEVER have we had so many problems with one stupid move/sale.  ugh 

Only have my hubby to shop for. Today is the office Christmas party pot-luck lunch so I may try and make a cameo appearance then come back to my office to browse online without interruption :-)

I'm not the least bit worried about today's lunch--why?? Because I feel frigging FABULOUS in my XL top, size 16 pants and *heels*-- nothing I eat today will compare to how I feel. I made a cheesecake (and learned cheesecake is a no-go for me-- so I hope they will enjoy it!) I'm sure there will be some protein options for me to eat.

So my menu today is sort of unknown, but I started off light-- just in case:

Time since surgery: ~8 months 

M1: 1c. Fairlife Milk w/ PB2 & Vanilla extract added

M2 & M3: Holiday luncheon goodies 

M4: Left over oxtail I made on Sunday

There's nothing like feeling fierce in your outfit, amiright?  Go on, girl! 

Keep on rock'in it today girl!

I'm 99.9% done Christmas shopping. That is a problem, because I have a shopping addiction. If I finish too soon, then I end up buying more. Like I was already done for my mom, and then I saw something in an email last night that she told me she wanted, and so I ordered it. Now I've got 3 gifts for her, lol! But I think I'll switch one of the gifts and give it to my SIL, to kinda even them out a little. It's just a nice handthrown coffee mug I got from a makers mart last weekend.

I'm not feeling well today. I don't know if it's physical, or if my 2 year old just sucked the life out of me this morning. I think he's teething molars, because he has been seriously unhappy for the last few days. He had a mild temp of 100 last night, and is totally bipolar. He was totally fine, playing happily, and then out of the blue he's melting down. I don't remember this with my oldest, though it was 14 years ago so maybe I just blocked it out. I have a lot more patience now, so we'll see how I deal with the terrible twos. Uuuggh, not looking forward to this.

Food was good last night, I did add half a cup of sugar free pudding made with fairlife milk, but I logged it and my numbers were still good.

Here's what I got for today:

B: Light and Fit Caramel Apple Pie, coffee with SF peppermint mocha

L: 5oz shrimp with ****tail sauce, a small bit of salad with skinny girl raspberry vinegarette. This dressing has 5 calories per serving.

D: TJ's chicken sausage and steamed cauliflower. I'll make carbmaster pasta for the boys, but I won't have any.

S: P3 ham, cheese and nuts. Leaving room for an evening snack if I get the hankering.

Totals:

Cal 638 Protein 64 (Meh) Carb 41 Fat 23

I think I found I job I'm interested in applying for. I'm going to sit down and redo my resume, since I haven't needed one in 10 years. it would be a small paycut for this other job, but I think that the change of scenery would really be worth it for me.

That L&F Carmel Apple Pie is the bomb, no?  I just love it.

I could eat it all day long. So good.

Ha, I totally made some SF pudding with Fairlife over the weekend!
