What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Good Tuesday morning, my friends!  So yesterday's doc appointment went well.  Can I just say that I love my PCP?  She's the sweetest and I never feel like I'm being rushed or ignored.  She's scheduling me for a sleep study and suggested melatonin until then to see if that helps.  She didn't want to prescribe any meds for now (although she did ask me how I felt about them) so we're taking a "wait and see" approach until after the study.  Has anyone done a sleep study?  Matt did an 'at home' one, but she wants me to do a proper clinic version.  Oh!  And doncha know I bought the melatonin and effing forgot to take it last night?  LMAO  Typical Kristen.

QOTD!  Ereiam posted about her dislike of water in another thread, so I want to know:  what's your beverage?  You guys know I love my iced coffee (and vodka, LOL) but my go-to cold bevvy is a half-strength Wyler's Half Iced Tea/Half Lemonade.  I put one of the drink sticks in a one liter bottle and I am good to go.  Also?  The word half looks fake.  half half half half.  LOLOL  And the Wegman's house brand version of Fresca is the bomb.  It's called Wedge and I love it so.

Time since surgery:  2+ years

B:  coffee!  And a slice of 40 cal whole grain toast with 2 sting cheeses

S:  Light & Fit Greek Crunch caramel salted pretzel

L: 2 ham and American Ready Snack Go wraps and cucumber slices with vinegar

D:  cheese omelet with 2 slices turkey bacon and sautéed summer squash.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love my spiralizer?  It's totally basic, but it gets the job done:  Spiralife

Have an awesome day, guys! 

Good morning AV & friends! It's so funny how much this is a part of my daily routine now. I get started at work, but don't feel like my day is really going good until I get my menu up and posted here. A sleep study seems like a good idea--hopefully it's an easy fix.

QOTD: I mostly drink water. It starts out ice water, but is usually just cool by the time I finish my tervis tumbler full around early afternoon. (This is after my 2 cups of tea in the morning). Sometimes I drink lifewater zero-lemonaid. I love it...but mainly water. And when I'm out I always order unsweet tea. Oh sugar--how I miss thee. But unsweet is still good.

B- irish tea w/SF creamer; 3 oz ground turkey with taco seasoning, slice of cheddar, salsa & greek yogurt

L- 2 oz baked cod, squash

D- chicken thigh

S- protein shake

S- triple zero yogurt

Totals: Cals- 696; protein- 95; carbs- 27; fat- 24

Everyone have a super-fantastic day!

Good morning! Nope, thankfully I've never needed a sleep study. I can't imagine that if I had problems sleeping at home that I would EVER sleep in front of strangers in a strange place. I never understood how that could work.

QOTD: I am ok with water, but I feel very strongly about the temperature of my beverages throughout the day!

Morning = HOT. Mid-day = COLD ****d). Evening = ROOM TEMP.

So a typical day starts with hot decaf, then I move on to iced water (sometimes with Mio drops, sometimes plain) or a large iced decaf, and then in the evening, I usually drink a Powerade, Sobe or G2 at room temperature. I drink well during the weekdays because I am on a schedule, but I am terrible about remembering to drink on weekends. 

How is the Light & Fit Caramel Salted Pretzel? It sounds yummy.

Holding at steady at 117lb (high end of my comfort range in maintenance)

5am - Decaf Coffee

8am - Leftover Steak Quesadilla

11am - Spicy Tuna (no mayo) on Mary's Gone Crackers

2pm - Almonds & Colby Jack Cubes

6pm - Parmesan Crusted Cod

8pm - Ranch Flavored Soy Crisps

You know, I'm looking at it right now and it's actually called caramel fudge pretzel.  Derp.  It's really good, no matter what it's called.  LOL

Never apologize for fudge.

Ummmmm.....

I agree about the weekend drinking. . . I'm severely lacking.  For some reason I forget to drink.  Like you, I'm on a schedule at work (I don't eat lunch until I have at least 30oz in' no snac****il another 30 oz; then 30 more before I go home) but the weekends . . . I totally forget about fluid.  As a result (I don't know if the causal link I'm making is actually there) I never show a weight loss on Monday

Good Morning AV, I hope your sleep study comes up with something useful!  I have never had one, so I cant give you any idea of what it will be like.

QOTD: Uuummmm I drink water, and Crystal Light.  That is it.  For real.  About a gallon of water every day, and about 32 oz of Crystal Light.  I do enjoy chocolate milk for a treat!  HAHAHAHA What am I, 5 years old???
