What's on your (Photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?

Wow.  The transformation is jaw dropping.  Congratulations!  You have done so amazingly well.

Good Morning Everyone!

QOTD:  Being able to talk my dogs for walks without panting and getting out of breath is a major NSV for me.  Also, a little NSV - the other day I noticed that my hands don't look as pudgy and fat as they used to and the ring I inherited from my mother when she died, (that she inherited from her mother), isn't as tight now!

Yesterday I ate:  a Protein shake (with water YUK), a protein bar, cottage cheese, chicken breast w/ mashed potatoes & gravy, string cheese sticks, an Atkin's snack bar and another protein bar.  I went over on calories but it was one of those days when I just felt hungry all day long.  I will try to do better today.

Have a great Friday everyone!!!

That's a beautiful ring.

Thank you!

Gorgeous ring!  How lovely to have it handed down, I assume you will give it to your daughter too when the time comes.

And oh my as I gardener and flower lover your Peony's are stunning!!!

For sure walking the dogs is also one of my NSVs too!!!!!!!!!!! My dogs get so much exercise now that I am pretty sure at the dog park they are bragging to the other dogs about how much they get to go out LOL LOL

Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Daisy!  Yes, it will get passed on down to Saralisa once I'm gone.  She will be the 4th generation to own it.  Yep, love walking those doggies! 

Ha!  When I first read your answer to the QOTD, I read it as "being able to take your dog for walks without pants."  Um, not sure that is a NSV.  So glad to discover that you do wear pants when walking your dog.  

Ha Ha Ha!  Too funny!  No, I haven't walked the dogs in the nude yet!  LOL!  I think my neighbors might object! 

Deanna,

I think it's great that you are supporting your husband this way. We all know how hard it is to make a change, and we had surgery and still struggle!

My biggest NSV so far is my often-times mouthy and self-centered 15 year old son telling me that he could tell I had really lost a lot of weight, and actually looking proud of me when he said it. I was honestly surprised he had noticed!

I forgot my protein shake this morning running out the door, so my menu today is weirdish, but I think I will still make it!

B- triple zero oikos chocolate yogurt

L- 1/3 c refried beans with salsa, cheddar

D- lemon/pepper tuna packet

S1- 1/2 c cottage cheese

S2- beef jerky

Totals: cals-522/  protein-57  /carbs-38  /fat-15

*I reserve the right to throw something else in there if I'm hungry, really trying to push water though. I felt really dry the night before last when I went to bed. The scale still isn't budging. For the love!
