What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning all!  This is gonna be quick because meetings this morning.  So I'll leave you all with this question:  TP; over the roll or under?  Discuss.

Time since surgery:  Almost 19 months

B:  coffee, Friendship Fit to Go cottage cheese and 34 Degree crackers

S:  turkey pepperoni with a LC wedge

L:  corned beef spread (don't judge me) and pork rinds

D:  spinach feta chicken sausage with steamed mixed veggies

TOTALS:  Cals:  900  Protein:  87  Carbs:  26 (ooh, that's a good one!)  Fat:  51

I expect to see some lively debate when I check back in later.  Don't let me down, people!  

Over. Unquestionably. There is no debate.

Today's menu is WEAK. But I'm running from meeting to meeting all morning, then driving for a significant portion of the afternoon, so it's mostly just combos of nuts and cheese, that I can eat while I'm driving. Haven't done the mfp totals yet but I know this is a high fat low protein day just by looking...whoops.

...6.5 months post op...

B: Fit Frappe Espresso and 1/2 scoop Unjury chocolate with Decaf and one scrambled egg

S: almonds and babybel cheese

L: Sargento balanced break (more nuts and cheese!)

D: pulled pork and green beans

Over. Obviously. How is this even a question?!

Meetings. Me too. I want to institute walk meetings when it gets warmer.

Time since surgery: 23 months

B: coffee with creamer and a breakfast sammie

S: KIND bar (because meetings)

L: turkey sloppy joe scooped with 34 Degrees crackers

S: a Chobani Flips, which has so many carbs and I don't know how I've never noticed this before

D: Omelette

S: popcorn and Chobani Tube

TOTALS: Calories 1127, Protein 82, Carbs 117 (choices. I need to make better choices), Fat 49

V/W: started and on track

E: trying a yoga class at my gym tonight with the sister

love your lunch idea... I love sloppy joes and I love "scooping" things, great idea!  I don't know what a Chobani Flip is but if it has lots of carbs I am sure I would love it! LOL LOL

I think I am going to walk to my doc appt. It's not far at all and was thinking about it and your post just made me think "do it". LOL

What are 34 degree crackers?

They're a low cal/carb cracker brand - I'm not going to lie, they taste a little bit like cardboard when eaten on their own, but they're great for scooping egg/chicken/tuna salad or that type of thing when you're craving a crunch! They're a little pricey, but they seem to last a long time if you put them in an air tight container. Here they are on Amazon, there are a ton of flavors - I've tried rosemary and blackpepper, both good.

Time since surgery: 7 weeks

I would usually say over on the TP- but in our house, it stays on the top of the tank or on the cabinet next to the toilet. so it actually doesn't stay on the roll hanger.

Feeling blah and trying not to be down on myself about weight loss. I thought the weight was going to just melt off the first 8 months and seems like it is taking forever- I've been keeping carbs under 50 and calories under 700 and getting liquids in. My month 2 marker is on the 15th and I was expecting to be in onederland and I'm still not. Only lost 7 pounds in the past 3 weeks. I hope it is just my body being stubborn. :(

B: decaf with 1/2 scoop cinnamon bun protein

S: 1/2 quest bar

L:Tuna /hummus/ bbq pork rinds

S:open

D:open

S:open

cal: under 700

Carb: under 50

exercise- c25k week 3!

Keep strong and stay on your plan. You got this!

I think we may end friendships over this question, LOL. Under the roll.  But in a house with three males, I'll settle if the roll actually makes it in the bathroom.

Getting dressed this morning I had to give up on 2 pairs of pants, they are size 18W's and laughably big. I settled on the final 18W that I have, while big, I can make do with today.  The good fitting pants  I have left (2 pairs) are 16's [regular].  So its time to go shopping!!! I'll hit the thrift store to see if I can save $$, but I'm really hoping that I can get into a size 14 pants. The 16's I have are good fits to a little loose- so no sense packing the closets with more of those.  Its a holiday weekend so I'll check out Macy's, and may even branch out to someplace like Ann Taylor Loft-- never stepped foot in there before.  I also need to return a bra to VS, and I wanted to get a cute nightie for Valentines day, just because. Shopping...my favorite pass time!
