What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Optimum nutrition has mocha cappacino protein powder that's like a mocha frappe from Walmart . 

 Suck it, GERD

The first thing I'm going to do when cleared is have an actual cup of coffee.  I want to try starbucks cold brew . . . I know I should stick to my decaf, but what's the point of investing in a new and improved stomach if I can't have caffeine????

Did you see that Starbuck has Vanilla Cold Brew now???

Yes, and it looks delish!  I can't have caffeine now, so I'm trying to ignore its existence.  Although . . . how much damage could one cup of coffee with caffeine do . . . hmmmmmm . . . .

NO!  I didn't mean to tempt you like that!  Wait a couple of months and then partake.  No hurting yourself now!!  Damn acid!  One month!

You didn't tempt me. . . I blame it on the 'Bucks.  Vanilla cream???  ugh!

QOTD: I'm pretty sure I am part fish, I don't remember a time that I didnt know how to swim!  My family (Uncle) owns a camp on a lake and we were there a LOT growing up, so swimming was second nature!  Funny story: when I was an infant, my Dad saw on TV you could blow in a baby's face and they will hold their breath.  So he tried it, blew in my face and held my under the water out at camp.  My mother "caught" him and thought he was trying to murder me!    It must have worked, I mean I am alive, and not brain dead...well mostly.

My menu is the same as yesterday, and I am ok with that

Good morning!  I love the skirt!  Paisley is one of my favs!  If you want to track me down on Facebook I'm Nikki Brown Huss.  Warning:  All my posts are triathlon or child related.  I'm pretty lame.

I don't think it's fair that I don't get to answer the QOTD   But, if there is anyone out there who cannot swim and wants lessons I am a certified instructor.  I work for dense protein (and possibly travel expenses) 

Today is already behind schedule.  I was going to run this morning but I couldn't get my butt out of bed.  So I brought my stuff to run at lunch.  Hopefully that happens.  Tonight I'm having a girlfriend over for drinks and dinner.  I'm looking forward to some girl time.

Also, new blog post as of yesterday!

Good luck on the race this weekend!  I know you're going to kill it, and I believe that any race helps get you prepared for the year end.  And, you were going to swim, bike, run anyway . . . so you might as well get some race bling!

 I'm kind of sad I don't have any raced planned before surgery.  I've already registered for my first post surgery race . . . Dodger Foundation 10k on October 2.  I think my half marathons are done for the year unless I bounce back remarkably quickly.  If so, I'm considering either rock and roll LA or RNR Vegas

I think we should have an OH run at R&R next year!!  I am going for a friend's 40th Birthday.  We should get a monster group together and ROCK IT!  They have a 5k, 10k, 1/2 and full.  Something for everyone!  What do you say all??
