What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

I went to Tim Hortons for breakfast this morning, it was near the hotel I stayed at... Only the second time I've been in one ever. They were having a 2/$4 breakfast sandwich special... I asked for the sausage, egg, cheese, no bread and to put the cheese between the egg and sausage. It was good... Don't know why I order 2 because I'm sick and they were 2 for $4... if it's a sale you gotta buy the sale, right? Only took like one bite of the second one and threw it out.

Their turkey sausage is yummy,  and they have an egg white patty that is good.  

But what I really love is their coffee. Though I think they put crack in their cream,  it's so addictive.  

Morning!  Gotta love random energetic days and I love Matt's epic grocery scores for you!  I am dragging my butt today, at the end of my day yesterday it turned into a nightmare of epic portions (issues at work and got some personal bad news) and had a very crappy long long day yesterday, got to bed really late and woke up at 3am with the worlds worst left leg cramp in my left calf.  I actually jumped out of bed and was holding my cramped calf muscle hopping around in the dark saying "**** **** **** ****"!!! Poor hubby, I think he thought we were being robbed or something cuz it set the dogs off as well and they started barking. Once it stopped I went back to sleep only to be woken up maybe 10-15 mins later with the exact same thing.  My left calf is literally sore today like I got kicked really hard and I am actually limping.  Gee whiz!! I am pretty sure its cuz of my long day yesterday and I think I am dehydrated and low on food.  I stepped on the scale this morning and lost 3 lbs from yesterday, yup no food and no water will do that I guess. So today's mission is eat proper, drink proper!!! Smarten up Daisy!!!

QOTD: shrimp & ****tail sauce, sometimes I just grab 3 or 4 shrimp and that is a perfect snack.  Kielbasa is another go to. And my new fav Mission 1 Protien bars the chocolate brownie, I can only eat 1/2 at time so its great for an AM snack and PM snack.  I love cheese sticks but I have to have them cold, so I won't take them in my purse or anything like that.  KIND bars work in a pinch too.

Menu is the exact same as yesterday.... totally boring but it works.  B & L is tuna with balsamic AM snack & afternoon snack is 1/2 protein bar, D is turkey burger & cranberry goat cheese, evening snack is kielbasa on the bbq 

Totals: 923 calories, 135 protein, 32 carbs, 36 fat

V/W: vits are done, calcium on alarms, HAVE to UP THE WATER today so coffee/tea & MORE water with splash of SF cranberry juice

E: going for a walk on lunch with my BFF, when I get home from work will hike the dogs

Be awesome today my friends we are almost at the weekend!

KIELBASA!  I haven't had that in ages and now it's on my grocery list.  Woo!

Damn, girl, I'm sorry about the leg cramps.  They super suck.  I think it was Cyndy who mentioned that the low sodium V8 has crazy good potassium levels and that when she gets cramps she'll a drink one of those for a few days.  That may help...

I am half Polish (on Dad's side) Kielbasa is in my blood I think, it was a staple in our house growing up.

My fav thing now is I take the piece of kielbasa and cut off four slices, turn the bbq on, put the slices on the bbq for a minute or two per side on med-high heat and its crispy and delicious and filing.  

I am not really a big fan of V8 juice, that's too bad cuz I need some help with the leg cramp thing.  I just went to stretch my legs out under my desk and my left calf gave me a twinge, its not happy.   I am going to email the NP from my WLS centre she what she says.

Girl you need some potassium quick.  I know they are high in sugar, but maybe a banana would help. 

If you can find the Kayem brand Kielbasa I urge you to try it.  Most delicious kielbasa I have ever eaten.

You know I'm sending lotsa love

Hi Daisy, sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday and the leg cramp too!! Is your potassium maybe a little low? When I get cramps like that I try and add a banana here and there, and often times they are worse when it gets closer to shark week. Hope your day is better today.

QOTD my go to snack is Ostrich beef sticks. 80 calories with 14 grams of protein. I buy them by the box at GNC

Finally, finally someone listened to me!!! I went to my bariatric psych yesterday and was crying because I am in so much pain. I can't get anyone to listen to me. Everyone keeps saying they can't help me and pushing me off on someone else. Last night I had to sleep with a freezer pack on my back and a pillow between my knees. By the time I left I had a referral to a bariatric internist and a nutritionist so I am hoping we can work it out. 

I have no idea what I will eat today, definitely a shake.... After that??? We are going out tonight at work and I get steamed chicken
