What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

hey yall

crazy week so far- stressed and it is causing my head hunger to rear it's ugly head, especially at night. Been drinking a lot of decaf tea to try to get it to not be a jerk. plus i haven't been exercising like I had been so that is probably not helping with the stress.

QOTD: I really like my tyra beauty contour and highlighter. I get more sculpted cheekbones and pretty highlights and it comes in a stick so it's easy to use. I do sell it but I'm not looking for sales, just a fan of the products.

I have free yoga tonight so will go to that. it will be good for me.

DH is passing a kidney stone so he spent all day in bed yesterday and all today so far. Hopefully he passes the darn thing so he will start to feel better.

Here is what I ate yesterday to be accountable:

B: 1/2 gnc pure edge bar/carbmaster milk, decaf

L: ham/broc/asparagus

D: ham bean soup/mushrooms

S:(spaced out for my day) carbmaster milk, shrimp. 2 egg whites, carbmaster yogurt, lite spiced cider, herbal tea

calories 707

protein 82

carbs:57

No makeup. No hair products. I wash everything with the same liquid soap or shampoo. Sometimes my lips do have a glossy shine, but that's from eating bacon or ribeye.

S'ok.  Sometimes I rub a little olive oil on my fingernails in lieu of polish.  LOL

Good morning and happy Friday eve! AV, I did see the Facebook post.  You should be so proud!!!  Tell him congrats from the west coast!!! I share your annoyance at the runny eyes.  I don't know if its because of the heat, but my eyes are like a drippy faucet.  Today I just gave up and didn't wear any eye makeup.  I'm tired of looking like a raccoon at the end of the day.  

KQOTD:  I LOVE products and can wander through a Sephora or Ulta for a long time without getting bored.  My favorite at the moment is Benefit They're Real Mascara.  I love the little spiky ball at the end of the brush to get the bottom and corner lashes.  It rocks!

I feel like a fat cow again today and, although I know it's wrong, I couldn't get on the scale.  I know it's all stress eating, but I'd worked so hard to deal with my emotional eating issues and thought I had a handle on it.  I'm so disappointed in myself.  I'm going to go into this surgery at the highest weight in more than a year and I'm really really really bummed and disappointed in myself.  Starting my pre op diet on Sunday doesn't help.  But, it is what it is and I just have to put my big girl panties on (and today, they are literally big girl panties) and get through it.  I'm making better choices and hope to reverse the trend.  Sorry for being such a Debbie Downer lately you guys.  Feel free to ignore my posts or tell me to knock it the hell off.  I need a good swift kick in the rear . . .sigh

Here's my plan:

B: 3.5 oz ground turkey, 1 oz cheddar cheese, 1 tbs pesto; skinny vanilla latte

L: 4 oz grilled chicken, steamed veggies (the other half of my chicken bowl)

D: Unknown at this time

S: 2 oz sliced chicken breast, 2 tbs Sabra greek yogurt, spinach and Parmesan dip; light and fit

Totals without dinner: Cal: 749; Protein: 95g; Fat: 24g; Carbs: 36g

OMG, I'm going to have so much mascara.  LOL

It is AWESOME!!

YOU HAVE GOT THIS!!  So you put on a couple of pounds pre-surgery.  YOU WILL LOSE IT!!  Remember, you are getting your insides rearranged.  You are going to rock this surgery and the recovery!  Next year, we TRI together!!  If I have to, I will fly to LA and intervene so hard!!  

Aww, I love this!  RNY Sistas 4-Life!

Keep your chin up!  You are going to get through this. We all struggle. You got this.

Sending hugs!!
