What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning all!  How was everyone's weekend?  Mine was awful and wonderful and everything in between.  Here's a little piece from the Buffalo News about my dear friend.  He really was a great man and I still can't believe he's gone.    Mark

OK, moving forward...  QOTD!  As suggested by Pokemom, what's your favorite children's book?  Like, a book that you loved when you were a kid.  I have so many.  SO MANY.  LOL  However, the one that stands out the most is actually a single volume of a children's encyclopedia printed in the 1950s called Childcraft.  It used to belong to my mother and this particular volume (2, I think) had folk tales and poems and the illustrations were so beautiful.  I can still recite a few of the poems to this day.  I wonder if my Dad still has the book.  Probably.  He doesn't get rid of anything.  HA!

Obvs, my food/drink intake these last few days has been sub-par at best.  I've not necessarily been eating crap, just not eating enough.  And drinking too much.  So, for as bare as my cupboard is, I begin anew today with an OK menu.  I need to grocery shop.  LOL

Time since surgery:  20+ months

B:  FF ricotta with SF triple berry preserves and 6 cinnamon raisin bagel chips

TOTALS:  Cals:  925  Protein:  91  Carbs:  62  Fat:  37

Have a great day!

Good morning everyone. Grim and I decided to hijack this thread a little today and make an announcement! As I am sure you can all figure out from reading his posts, Grim is a pretty great guy--smart, funny, kind and generous. And somehow I am lucky enough to be dating him in real life! Here are a few pics from our recent adventures together.

Also, an added benefit from dating Grim...? I am dropping weight like it's my job. I'm 2 pounds away from the low goal that my surgeon told me it would take another year to reach. So if you are in a stall, I suggest dropping your current SO and start dating a fellow Bypasser ;) #datingaham

B: Fit Frappe Espresso

S: almonds and cheese stick

L: leftover ½ cheeseburger

S: hb egg

D: ??
