What's on Your (photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?

Hurry!

OMG, you guys.  I am so jealous of your meet-up.    LOL  I can't wait to hear all about it!!

Happy Friday everyone!  It's been such a week, with moving, work and my car has been on the fritz, so that's been fun.  I'm terrible about exercise (I'm usually pretty sedentary), but my FitBit has been going crazy, I think I shorted it out with all the movement.  Also, I have a confession, I've been playing Pokemon GO, catching critters and competing with colleagues and friends on our finds.  Feel free to laugh, but I've been walking everywhere I can trying to get a 10 kilometer egg to hatch.  Whatever makes me move.

No plans for the weekend except unpacking and walking at the park (for the eggs).

B: Turkey Salad

L: Last of the Turkey Salad

D: Going walking at an outdoor mall, I will probably grab a salad.  

Sounds like everyone has great weekend plans, be safe and make good choices.

I've been playing also- but have been lazy playing- like driving around to pokestops to get balls and eggs- im such a slacker lately

but i did get my steps in and go to yoge yesterday

Oh, I drive to a lot of the places too!  The outdoor mall is like, 15 Pokestops, so I've been walking that at night, otherwise I run out of balls...LOL.  That's what started the BJ's thing, they're a Pokestop, so I sit there, have a salad and stock up.

Good morning all.  There has been no hope of logging in and posting early in the day these past couple of weeks (super busy time for work, plus 3 days of work-related travel), but know that I read most of the posts late at night on the West Coast.  It is my therapy. LOL. Some posts make me chuckle, some make me cry, but mostly they make me feel like there are others who understand  and can relate to what I am going through (because let's be honest, most people don't want to hear us talk about our food and struggles).  I'm excited to see pictures of the Grims and Daisydoo meetup.  You guys will have so much fun.  I am excited (and a bit envious) of Cynthia's surgery.  It has been a busy year for you.  I will be thinking of you. 

I have nothing on my schedule this weekend except for a hair appointment tonight, but I will not be as daring as Deanna.  Although I have always had very short hair (finally trying to grow it out now) and I love the streak of color, I couldn't really do that at work.  It looks great on you.  I am always busy and I do like it that way, but the next two weekends are kind of free and the following two weekends are out of town trips for some fun stuff, so it will be good to putter about the house and catch up on life maintenance.

QOTD: Fortunately, there are so many protein options out there nowadays.  Grocery store-cheese or P3 pack; Fast food-Waba Grill and Rubios both sell fish/salmon.  I have bought just the fish before without all of the rice, etc.  I don't like pork rinds (wish I did, because I like crunchy things), but I do like beef jerky. It was literally life saving for me early on. Still handy to keep around, I always have a small bag in my purse and have several in both of my office locations at work.

I was gonna post a picture of the scale this morning because it said 155, which means I have lost 150 pounds. WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!  But then I put on underwear and held my phone and it said 155.1, so I didn't have time to readjust things because I was already running late.  Trust me when I tell you, it said it!  I had many goals along the way:  get to onederland, lose 100 pounds, become a normal BMI, lose 150 pounds.  I am so excited that I have met these goals.  It didn't really seem possible.  Next goal is to lose ½ my body weight (only 2.5 pounds away), then get to 150, which is lower than I have been since I hit my goal of 151 on Weigh****chers 28 years ago. I was there for about 1 minute before I started gaining, so I am very afraid of that phenomenon, but my mind is definitely in a different place now, so I am hoping for (and will be working toward) long-term success.  I only wish I had opted for surgery years ago.  But it may not have been the right time for me, so I am just trusting that now is.

Here is a picture from a wine tasting trip a couple of weekends ago.  I haven't worn dresses in years.  I wore one to dinner for father's day this year and wore this one for wine tasting. So, it's a big deal.  The upper part of my legs are cascading waterfalls of skin, but my calves loo****can't wait to hear about Cynthia's surgery), so dresses are working for me.  I need to buy more.  The other picture was a new outfit I bought that has been my go to outfit this summer (Note: I am a terrible selfie taker, as both of my daughters remind me constantly).  I normally wear a lot of black and white, so this was quite different.  Have a great weekend everyone.

Ah, you are beautiful!  I so so so happy to hear of your scale victory!  Yay for you!

Congrats on the scale victory! So awesome. Love the pics- you're doing fantastic

Thank you!  I got the shoes on buy one get one so I got a black pair too!  And, if you really want the dress, I was just at Express tonight exchanging something and they still had them in the store, so either get to a store ASAP or go online!
