What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?
Morning AV and gang. I have weekends where I forget all kinds of things, but lately I have been really staying on top of my schedule.
I had a long weekend. I called off of work on Friday for a much needed sick day. Then Friday night I went out dancing with a couple of old friends and had a blast. We didn't get home until after 2 (my hubby went with me). I haven't danced like that is 20 years, it felt really good. Thank goodness my friend lives 4 hours away and this will not be a regular occurance. I love her, but I've grown out of the lifestyle that she lives, so it was nice to see her and all but I can wait at least another year before we go out together again.
I AM going out again next Saturday night. This time to a local club with my friends who have had WLS. My husband is excited to go, and it's my night to be the designated driver, so I'll refrain from drinking. Honestly, my husband and I haven't had a social life like this in years, and it feels good to be out doing things as adults. We'll have our teenager watch the baby.
NSV alert. Last Friday I was getting ready to go out, and on a whim I tried on a top that my friend had given me. It FIT and it was a Medium Michael Kors top. The cut is a big generous, but I don't care, I wore a size MEDIUM!
Also, MelissaSue will be so proud of me, I started knitting a sweater yesterday and even though it's a simple pattern, I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of it. This first sweater is for me, and if it goes well everyone will be getting sweaters for Christmas next year! It will really all depend on how much of the yarn it uses and how fast I can get it done. It goes a hell of a lot faster than I thought it would. It will also depend on how dedicated I can be to it, I tend to craft in cycles. Right now I'm all gung ho, but this may fade. I am still working on the afghan, but I put that aside for now because I needed something fresh to work on.
As for my superpower, I would make it teleportation. This power would include the ability to teleport others with me at my choosing. I could quit my job and become a courier. I would also be able to take my family with me anywhere I wanted. I know it sounds silly, but I'm kinda practical like that.

This does not include an evening snack. I will likely have something this evening, but I couldn't figure out what. I'll make sure to go with something protein forward and low carb. My hubby just made the first batch of turkey jerky yesterday and I'll probably have 1 oz of that, but I don't know how to log it yet. I'll have to build the recipe in MFP later after work.

Good morning all! It's back to reality after my fantabulous trip to Florida last week. We had an amazing time but I didn't eat all that well (WAY TOO MANY CARBS) and too much booze (oops). The back of my legs are fried. I didn't put sunscreen on and fell asleep on a pool chair. Luckily I had a towel over my shoulders or I'd be in real pain.
QOTD: Absolutely without doubt I would want the ability to change make people see things through the eyes and experiences of other. I think it would solve so many problems in this world. I try very hard not to judge others because I have no idea what they've been through and I wish others would make the effort as well (primarly my own family and Donald Trump, lol).

I think you have something there with your superpower. If we could all see where people come from and what they've experienced,I know there would be a lot less hate going on. I am so OVER the political candidates now. I'm tired of the judgmental ism and the barbs they throw at each other. What does this all accomplish? Absolutely nothing!! End of rant.
Thought I ws going back to work today after my surgery last Wednesday but decided to stwthe whole week home. My husband is out of town and he was worried it would be too much without support and so I am just hanging at home.
My super power would be quick travel. I work love to be anywhere I want in a blink.
I am in a bit of a funk. Feeling like I will never make my goal. In reality, I think I am doing well but there is little feedback from my doctor's office good or bad so I never know.

You are doing just fine cheapskate. It sthinks that your doctor does not really support or guide you much. I think mine is much the same way. He thought I had lost plenty by 6 months out when I was still overweight. His nurse told me they don't expect people to get to a normal bmi. Like you though,I knew I didn't have surgery to still be overweight so I kept following my plan and kept losing til I got down below my goal to where my body wanted to be. They didn't think I would meet my modified goal of 145 but I got as low as 118 which was a bit too skinny. Now I have been at 120 to 123 for the last 2 plus years. Just keep following the plan and the results will amaze you.
