What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Good morning,
UGH, been here since 6:50 a.m. because we all had to take part in a video shoot for our company website. I will be a celebrity amongst facilities directors lol.
There is so much crap food here it isn't funny, our customers send in all kinds of stuff, it is very difficult to avoid. Luckily someone sent in clementines and pears so there are some things I can actually have.
Time since surgery almost 8 months.
B: Premier Protein Shake
L: Chicken
D: ? Whatever hubby makes tonight
S: Pear, babybel
No totals since I have no idea what I will be having for dinner. No workout this morning either. Will have to make up for that tonight.

I'm late to post because I've also been at our office holiday party. NO FOOD! This is a very young, thin, fit office and I've noticed that they are good about doing celebration without food.
I am really having a tough go of it this week. Over the weekend I experimented with chocolate covered popcorn (it was delivered to my house in a pretty bow with my name on it, people--what would you have done?!?!), so I dumped. Yuck, gross, 'nuff said.
Then I got dehydrated and had lots of nasty bad symptoms from that...
Yesterday was 100% clean eating and lots of water, so I should have been fine. But I ate a piece of leftover chicken for dinner and proceeded to get seriously stuck. I threw up acid from 7pm until 1am. My poor body needs a BREAK!
I am going to post a soft menu here but honestly, I just want to drink tea. Not sure how much of this is going to get into my body today.
B: chai protein drink with extra unflavored protein
S: babybell cheese
L: chicken noodle soup (probably just the broth)
S: laughing cow wedge
D: unjury chocolate protein mixed into plain Greek yogurt
Exercise
Nothing at all. Didn't feel well enough this morning, will have a sedentary day of meetings, then I'm going to support out tonight (Lord knows I need it!). So all in all I will leave the house at 5:40am and get home at 8:30pm. Not going to happen!!
Oh Yuck. You should just do liquids until you feel better. am tempted to go all liquids for a few days, since it shouldn't be difficult. I swear, before surgery I thought not eating would be the end of the world, and now sometimes it seems like it would be so much easier to just do all liquids for a few days to get back on track.
Good morning. Well, my ingestion of junk food continues and I can't seem to make it stop. I can't throw everything out of my house, since it's not fair to the rest of my family, although I'm sorely tempted. My willpower hasn't been tested like this since I had my surgery and I can't figure out what's triggering my behavior. Work is crazy busy so I can't make an appointment with my therapist, which I think I need badly. Maybe she'll do a phone appt?? Our work holiday party is friday. It's at a steakhouse so I'm sure there will be plenty of WLS friendly choices. Too many choices . . . this firm goes all out and I know the party starts with a seafood tower . . . but if I eat that I won't have any room for steak. Oh, the problems facing a post surgery person.
I'm going to do everything I can to stay away from the crap today. Ugh. Don't know why I'm finding it SO HARD . . .
B: Left over tri tip (3.5oz)
L: Chicken and mixed veggies
D: Ham steak and asian slaw
S: Somersaults, Light and Fit and Peanut Butter
Totals: Cal: 847 (low so I'm sure I'll be adding something. Maybe a coffee with milk) Protein: 96g; Fat 27g; Carbs 51g
Have a good day everyone!
OK, so instead of my regular lunch, I just had some kielbasa with kraut and dill and three pieces of ****tail rye with spinach dip. No regrets.
Also, I amended my menu in MFP and aside from a protein drop (which I may rectify by fiddling with dinner), I'm still good to go.

AV, you have cursed me forever, I just know it. I had never heard that damn song before, the stupid exes bumping into eachother. So this morning I was sitting in the office at my son's High School, and what comes on the radio? A certain song by Dan Fogleberg, stupid Dan Fogleberg (I know I'm screwing that name up, oh well.)
My oldest is having issues in school. He has dyslexia, and has always struggled. He's extremely bright, but has memory issues, is totally disorganized, and has issues with reading comprehension, though is reading nearly at grade level. He's failing American Literature, and has D's in Geometry, chemistry, and History. He's got an A in gym, and a C in Spanish II. We're going to have to crack down over the school break, and get him back on track. All of his grades were a C or better in the first quarter, and have slowly been dropping off. Today was his annual IEP (Individualized Education Plan) and I met with a few of his teachers. They all say the same thing, that he is an incredibly bright, likeable, polite student, but he has major focus and organization issues. Issues with focus at his age are not uncommon, but add that to his learning disability and it's a recipe for disaster. problem is that this kid is so laid back and pleasant, it's really difficult to drop the hammer on him when it comes to this stuff. I hate making him cry.
Anyway, as I posted in a comment, I am so close to ONEderland that I can taste it. if fully expect to wake up tomorrow and see 199 on my scale. I will be running through the house waking the baby, i just know it. Our Christmas luncheon is next Tuesday and they are having it catered, so I fully expect there to be a turkey or ham dinner. This is a good thing, since I love roast turkey with gravy and I will fill up on that. I just gotta stay away from the junk. I snuck a little caramel corn yesterday afternoon and had a bit of mild dumping from it. I got the sweats and the body aches and felt generally nasty for about 4 hours.
here's my plan for the day:
4.5 months out
B: light and fit greek cherry, coffee with cream and splenda
L: tuna salad with just a few crackers (half a serving) and a small salad with romaine, feta and tomatoes
D: pork chops and steamed cauliflower
S: beef jerky and cocoa dusted almonds
I started using the vitamin patches, so that's set. Also, I started doing yoga last night, and loved it. I'll be doing at least 30 minutes of yoga a night. I honestly thought that it would be a light workout, but by the time I was done with the 30 minute beginner video, my muscles were shaking and twitching and I was sweating. It felt awesome to stretch too. I just don't have a yoga mat, so my knees and elbows are a little sore. I'll be picking one up soon.

I may skip the almonds if I'm not starving so that will bring my numbers down significantly.

Not so much the holidays but ready for the roller coaster of life to have little less of the hills that make you scream the entire way down. I am glad that I nipped my food stupidity in the bud last week and hopped back on. Shows me I am making the necessary changes, before it would have been a downward spiral that just wouldnt have ended well. Plus, When I was eating something last week I realized my fat ledge was gone so there is really no where to put junk food...kind of threw off the process and the ritual a bit. Weird.
I miss being at home and having complete control of all the food around me, but I suppose this is how my life is going to be and I need to learn how to adjust to it. my 4'11 90lb inlaws all eat donuts every day for breakfast. I ate a donut hole last night :/ It didn't hurt me carb or calories wise, but it hurt my pride. I didn't dump, maybe one donut hole isnt enough? Maybe i'm not a dumper I dunno. I hope I never test it.
