What's on your Saturday menu, RNYers?
on 4/23/16 6:30 am
Good Saturday morning, menu friends! I had a nice time at the Seder last night and ate really yummy food. I had matzoh ball soup, roasted root veggies, broccoli, and Brisket. Mmmmmm. Oh and a glass of wine. The wine went straight to me, since I had to drink before eating. I had 4 sips and whispered to Grim that I was drunk. And I was! But it wore off as quickly as it came on, so no ill effects. I was completely full before dessert and was able skip it without feeling bad at all.
Today's menu is up to the Grim today. I'm in his capable hands, and assume there is meaty goodness involved? I've already had 2 cups of hot Fit Frappe Mocha coffee. God I love that stuff!
QOTD: What is the coolest outfit you ever owned? One where you knew you looked amazing and were the envy of everyone else? I have to reach back to the 5th grade (1984) when I had a pair of white jeans with fluorescent splattered paint all over them, a matching florescent pink top and sunglasses that also had the paint splatter. I was doing my best to emulate my inner Madonna and I still think that was the highlight of my fashion career.
Make good choices everyone!

Hi Everyone!
QOTD: I'd have to say my Wedding gown. My marriage didn't last, but I had the wedding of my dreams and felt like a princess in my wedding gown. It had a very full skirt and a very long train and a long veil and lots of lace. I felt beautiful in it.
My menu is more "critter" food: Protein shake, egg, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, string cheese sticks, chicken, etc. Exercise is a walk with our two doggies.
Have a great Saturday, everyone!

Good morning JB! Alcohol hits me the same way- makes me a giggly drunk but I sober up quick.
Ive been to the gym and am at weigh****chers. I like their scale better than mine today lol. Kids have activities today, there is an arts festival we may drop in on if the weather improves.
QOTD: interesting timing of it. Since yesterday I was wearing a matching bra and panty set and I felt totally sexy all day... I didn't want to take it off. Otherwise... Hmmm-- I love business suits, always makes me feel put together, confident professional etc. I haven't bought any since losing weight since I want my weight to stabilize before investing in more suits.
Time since surgey: 11.5 months
m1 protein shake
m2 roast bbq chicken, seeeet potato (left overs)
m3 ?? No idea
i have a banana on standby as needed

I love a good business suit, too. But I always think I look like a little kid playing dress up when I wear them, not so much a powerful adult... ;)

Morning everyone. Another glorious day. Dinner last night was great. Brisket melted in my mouth. I also ate a green thing! A little bite of parsley. I can't wait to see my nutritionist.
I was extra hungry this morning and scarfed down 2 Quest bars. Lunch is at Bertucci's -- chicken wings. I'm thinking ribeye on the grill for dinner.
I hope everyone else is having a great weekend!

Ugh. Boyfriend was up all night playing computer games (nerd). I woke up at 3am, went back to sleep at 6am and here I am just waking up. My weight loss is still stalled, for 3 weeks now. I saw my psychiatrist last night and had a nervous breakdown because I was convinced it's because of my psych meds. I told him I wanted to get off of everything and burst into tears, I'm sure I added a ton of weight to my argument...lol. I feel better today, I'm just going to keep going and doing all of the right things and hope this ends soon. 51 pounds in 10 weeks is still a lot of weight to lose.
QOTD: This is hard, I've always been such a cow I can't think of anything I wore I felt beautiful in. I've always been ashamed of the way I looked and definitely not the envy of anyone.
B: a scrambled egg with ham
L: iMetabolic protein shake
S: Light & Fit Vanilla Greek yogurt
D: unsure, going out
