What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYer?
13 days post-op. The lunch stuff is a pureed eggplant curry I made with some plain fat free greek yogurt plopped on the side. soo goood.
My calories are SUPER low-today. I usually do 600-800. I'm wondering if I should just leave it? Add a protein shake? The dietician wanted me down to 1 protein shake a day...maybe I should add some yogurt instead. Not sure what to do.

I totally enjoy reading this thread at the end of the day, even though most everyone who posts here is already snug in their beds. It provides motivation, inspiration, and some chuckles. So many things to respond to (and since I am on my laptop, I can actually post a reply without accidentally deleting everything before I post).
- I agree with Life Mirrors Art--- AV's QOTD are truly inspired. I think she should write a book, something like a journaling prompt book.
- Although I did not have a girl scout encounter, I too had a weekend with a few bad choices that might have involved the Ghirardelli shop in San Francisco. Fortunately, the good outweighed the bad.
- Collections-They say you spend the first 40 years of your life collecting things, and the next 40 (if you are lucky) getting rid of them. I have many collections (Lizzie High, Laura's Attic, Hummels, David Winter cottages, Amish Heritage quilters, Boyd's Bears Swarovski crystal figurines, and other tchotchkes, and way too many CDs, DVDs, and books). Slowly but surely, I have been eliminating them from my life, with no guilt. I am much more interested in travel, experiences, and memories, and these things just require my time and energy to maintain them. I think the one collection I will keep and possibly expand is my globe collection. I recently bought a purple one (my favorite color) and I love it.
- Apparently, I missed the boat and should be collecting yarn.
