What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Happy Hump Day all!  You guys, I'm super excited because I'm gettin' my hair did after work today.  LOL  It's the little things, amirite?  I'm also excited because Friday night I'm taking my son to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the Dome.  HA!  He really had no idea who they were, but since I'm old, I was all "let's go!!" and shoved his face into some youtube videos so now he's all pumped to go, too.  But not as much as me, natch.

So, as promised, today's the day when you guys tell us a little bit about yourselves!  I'll start.  ahem  My name is Kristen, I'm 45 (hence the Globetrotter love) and live in Syracuse NY.  I work in the patient accounting department of a hospital, which is just as exciting as it sounds.  My husband works for the state and is retired from the USMC.  We have a small but expanding beekeeping operation on our 10 acres and we recently started selling honey in a little stand up by the road, which has been pretty successful.  My son is 10 and is the best kid in the world.  We also have a fat beagle named Bagel who would shank you for a pizza flavored goldfish cracker.  I am a makeup ***** and shameless checkout lane impulse shopper.  WalMart is the best place for that because every lane has like a million little things, just waiting to jump in my cart.  I got me some cake batter flavored chapstick last night.  Heh.

What about you? 

Time since surgery:  18+ months

B:  coffee, Friendship Fit to GO cottage cheese and 16 gms of Special K protein cereal.  That's better than Lucky Charms, right?  LMAO

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

D:  Mediterranean tuna pouch melt thing.  LOL

Good morning!

I work for an educational nonprofit program that turns around failing schools. We operate 6 schools across the state so I do a lot of travel together to all of them throughout the week. It's hard to be in the car so much but once I'm there it's pretty active. The schools are huge and I do a lot of running around! Speaking of which I'm too busy at the moment to craft a good response about the rest of my life...

Menu is a carbon copy of yesterday, only today I will try to remember to actually eat some of it. Ha!

B: Fit Frappe Chai Protein (hot)
S: 1/4 c almonds and light babybel cheese
L: 1/4c cranberry chicken salad on 3 Finn Crisp crackers
S: 1 oz Mr. Cheese Os
D: 1/4 c ground beef and 1/4c veggie stir fry
S: 2 oz plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 scoop PB protein powder

Protein: 66 / Carb: 39 / Fat: 38

Ya! I have meetings a 8:30 and 9:15 that will last most of the morning so I am so glad the post is started and I can jump in quickly before hand. Plus, I love talking about myself, who doesn't? :-P

I'm Anny and I live in the western suburbs of Philly. I'm 33 years old and the Executive Director of a fairly large public library. We're in the midst of a $5million building project and it basically rules my life. I have a lovely fella, who I think might be "the one," but we're still figuring all that out. I'm very close with my family, my sister is one of my BFFs and her daughters are my most favorite people on the planet. I've got a knitting addiction that rivals my food and shopping addictions. Since losing weight I've come to love Aqua Zumba and BodyPump, though this morning I'm cursing the Pump instructor because I am SORE (also cursing my high heels - note to self, do not wear heels the day after doing 100+ squats). 

Time since surgery: nearing 2 years

B: overnight oats and coffee

S: cottage cheese

L: turkey meatballs (which I swear I'm going to actually eat today since this is the third day in a row I planned to eat them and then I didn't the first two)

S: Omega Trek Mix

D: omelette made with Eggbeaters, turkey sausage, and goat cheese

S: popcorn and Chobani tube

TOTALS: Calories 1054, Protein 89, Carbs 96, Fat 44

E: rest day - but there will be yoga later, I've been soooo tight and tense recently and trying to get back into a little at-home yoga/meditation to sooth myself...

Done! Just in time for my meeting! Can't wait to come back later on today and read everyone's introductions.

My hubby used to work for the Free Library of Philadelphia (the central branch)-- he know LOTS of librarians, etc. 

Woo make sure you have a pic on friday of your hair :)

My name is Julie, I'm 27, and I live in Havelock NC. I'm currently a stay at home mom, and I am married to a U.S. Marine. He's currently deployed, so life kinda sucks atm lol. BUT that also means when he gets home around my 1 year anniversary of my surgery he'll be in shock at how I look. I was like 260lbs when he left, so it'll be a pretty dramatic difference :D That will be fun at least.

Time since surgery: 9 months

B:  protein coffee

S:  yogurt, protein chips

L:  antipasto salad

D:  chili

TOTALS:  Cals: 587   Protein: 79  Carbs: 34  Fat: 9

A big thanks to you and your husband, julie! It has to be really hard for both of you. Just know that it is appreciated. He is going to be so amazed when he comes home to the new healthier skinnier you!

My husband deployed shortly after my son was born and while he was gone I managed to gain like 75 lbs.  LMAO

i gained like 50 lbs the last time he deployed lol. much different this time around, not eating my loneliness away :)

God Bless you and your Husband!  I don't know how you do it! 

Beagle named Bagel-- Cute!! My son would love to see the globetrotters- I need to look up when they will be in the area again. 

About me-- I'm 38, married with 2 sons. I'm an HR Manager for the Fire department, and I will tell ya, unless they are new cadets, firemen are not svelte and sexy-- they are aged, obese and depressed like the rest of America LOL. (And of course I'll toss in how much a dislike my boss). I'm by no means a pet lover-- but we have a dog, cat and 2 damn fish. "Damn fish" b/c since when did those dinky carnival prize fish ever live past one week?? Well these super fish have been going strong for 3 damn years! We want to relocate in the next few years to the south to be a bit closer to my parents. I'm partially bald, and embrace it. (NOT WLS surgery related). Today I'm sans wig-- I love the confusing looks I get from people, its that 'wait- yesterday you had hair-- today you don't" look. I ordered two new wigs and am anxiously awaiting my new looks to arrive. I LOVE make-up, people always ask me to do their but it skives me out to have to touch another person's face LOL. I'm not that motivated to do you tube videos. I'm a girly girl- love pink/purple, shopping and HATE sports.  

Time since surgery: 9 months tomorrow

M1: 1/2c egg beaters, 1 oz Virginia ham

M2: Greek yogurt/granola

M3: broiled chicken thigh (I'll probably go out and get a side salad to go with it
