What's on Your (photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?

I can't really complain - I love those girls like my life depended on it. Plus, without kids of my own (for now) I get to have my little one fix - so it's actually a purely selfish act.

omg you rock!!! my 3 year old has decided sleep is for sissies and now stays awake and plays in the dark till sometimes 3am!!!!!  he wakes the babies and his 2 year old sister and we are all bears in the morning.  i put him back in bed and he is up before i hit the stairs.  the good part is at least im getting all that extra exercise lol

My 2 year old was up half the night last night. He wasn't crying, so we just left him in b the bed and he finally went back to sleep.  

We really need to get that under control. He's still in his crib and hasn't climbed out yet, so he's not running around causing trouble. 

i wish id left him in a crib.  he climbed in and out at bedtime and morning but never ran around the room.  he has been in his toddler bed since november and only now reeking havoc but he is making up for lost time lol

Busy weekend here too. Tomorrow hubby and I are going to an all day training to help with disaster relief through the United Methodist church. He wants to do things to help others now that he is retired so that is the plan. I found a good man,didn't I! Gloomy day here but will do 3.2 miles with Lily in a few minutes and hopefully we stay dry. Last night at bedtime we got a bit wet! I possible we will do a mile before bed and I will bike for 30 minutes too. Probably little exercise tomorrow so I need to get it in today. Here's the eats B 1/2 c steel cut oats with added protein and peanut butter  L other half of the can of chili from yesterday D 31/2 Oz pork loin with 1/2 c Brussels sprouts S Greek yogurt. Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh and I am wearing skinny jeans size 1 and a bright green XS sweater. No black and khaki here!

Happy Friday everyone!!! im sorry that ive been m.i.a for a while.  i had my gall bladder out with some pancreatitus to go with it so i felt yuck and had a bout in the hospital, but thats over and im feeling great yay!!!! ive missed you guys.  this message string helps me so much.  it keeps me with ideas for what to eat, picks up my mood, motivates me.....etc etc.  i got in a terrible rut of living on hot tea with honey and brace yourself....hot tamales candy AGH!!!!  then i wondered why i only lost 2 lbs in the last month.  you guys got me back on track so thank u very much :)

as for the weekend hmmm i think im just staying home and gonna take down the tree.  the rest got put away this week, but my husband works 3rd shift and sleeps back where the tree is so i couldnt be clunking and banging around.  im looking forward to trying to get my house back in order its a mess.  6 kids with no mom for over a month.  picture the mess.  it looks just like that lol.

Good morning!  

So happy it's Friday, this working a full week after two weeks of 3 day work weeks is killing me.   I have no plans this weekend except for putting the rest of Christmas away and housework.   Also, I want to make cloud bread since I can't seem to live without some kind of bread.  Maybe I'll look up some new bariatric friendly recipes since I'm bored out of my mind with the same old foods. 

Time since surgery: 8+ months

B:  Decaf coffe w/cream, 1/2 DD's sesame bagel w/lite cream cheese.  I know, I know, but the struggle is real and I gave in today!  Heavenly!

L:  Baby spinach, chicken and hb egg

D:  Zucchini noodles and homemade meat sauce

S:  Muscle Milk 100 Protein Shake

Cals: 761  Carbs: 58  Protein: 81 Fat: 28

Was going to have a pear for another snack, but 26 grams of carbs is too much since I ate the stupid bagel!  So will probably have a yasso bar tonight, those things are addicting.
