What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Love the Banana, like banana pudding, much better than Strawberry or vanilla

Can I join the weekend **** show? LOL.... Recovery, hormones, allergies and Carbs! OH my! Having total melt-downs all over hte place this weekend. I think I forgot I am only 2 weeks out from surgery today. All of thee above mentioned contributed....

Pink Grapefruit toothpaste??? Such a thing exists? Right now I am using the Optic White as well. My fav thing to keep my teeth and gums great though is my shower dental flosser...  I have used it for years and it really helps. Shower Dental Irrigator

I had steak for breakfast yesterday, I am going to do it again. Need to change things up.

B: steak

S: Protein shake -latte

L: Tuna

S: Greek Yogurt

D: zoodles chicken soup with extra chicken

S: Hot premier Protein

E: modified 21-day-fix (Lower body only)

Even though I am down 5lbs from surgery... 'the dress' I posted about a month ago for my niece's wedding this weekend is going to have to be altered....ugh....well that is if I want to breath and all that good stuff. Got it zipped up on Saturday but barely. SO I guess I am still swollen even in places I didn't have surgery...so off I go tomorrow

Good Morning, Gang!

Another gray, rainy day!  I swear this Spring is the rainiest ever!

QOTD:  Crest 3D White

Yesterday I ate:  a protein shake, chili, an Atkin's snack bar and several (I mean several) string cheese sticks - love those things and they're only 50 calories each!  Today will probably be similar.

Exercise:  Hoping to take the dogs for a walk if it quits raining, otherwise riding the exercise bike.

Have a fantastic day!

Good morning AV and gang! I am back to work today, so although I'm a little nervous about being tired, I feel ready. I was getting bored at home. And lazy.

I had a pretty chilled out weekend, with the exception that we found out my son's mother in Haiti passed yesterday. Hubby and I are planning to go down for the funeral, so that could be before the weekend I'm thinking.

B- premier chocolate shake

S- 1/2 c cottage cheese

L- 1/2 c cheesy potato soup

S-? either cottage cheese or hummus, not sure

D- 1/2 c chunky beef tip vegetable soup, pureed

Cals: under 700

**6 more pounds gone this week. (Mondays are my weigh day). This surgery is like a miracle. For reals.

Best wishes for your trip to Haiti. How sad! I hope your son is doing okay...

Sorry to hear of the passing of your son's mother, sending hugs. Hope your first day back to work goes really well-you might need a nap or crash early tonight :)

I'm so sorry about the loss to your family.  I can't begin to imagine what you must be dealing with.  My love and prayers for your whole family.

Isn't the loss amazing?  There is no way i would have ever been able to lose weight like this without surgery.

Crap, I forgot QOTD: aquafresh whitening. It's my fave, I don't know why.

Oh good lord, I hate Mondays!  This week is going to be terrible.  Two all day long meetings scheduled with more on the horizon.  On a plus note, my first Tri of the season is this weekend in St. Louis!  SQUEE!!  Yesterday I ran 12 miles and I am dying today.  Good thing I'll be sitting on my ass all day... LOL.

QOTD: I like the Colgate with the Scope in it.  My hubbie has horrendous breath most of the time and this stuff seems to help.

Time since surgery: 21+ months

B: Coffee with Cream and JD Breakfast Sammy

S: Coffee with cream and Kind bar

L: Rotisserie chicken or a Lean Cuisine from the freezer (depends if I feel like walking)

S: SF latte

D: Subway - 1/2 a meatball sub

W/V: Started

E: none, rest day, although I do have to teach swimming lessons :(

Have a great day all!
