RNY 8/11/14 with Dr. Kelvin Higa PS Lipectomy 4/12/17 with Dr. John Burnett HW291.4/CW165/GW150
Don't get me started on the school bus. We live 9 minutes away from the school, but its just over the mileage to allow for school busing. We got notice of the pick up time for school: 5:47 am-- WTF?!?!? School start at 8:20. I have a 6th an 8th grader- they make the 8th grader use public transit; so I asked instead of the ungodly pick-up hour that makes no sense- can I just put them both on public transit. Nope-- they won't pay for my 6th grader b/c they already pay for the school bus for him. So we drop them off in the morning and my 8th graders get a free bus pass- but I have to buy token for my 6th grader.
QOTD: I'm wearing my "S" initial pendant on a 'gold' chain; oblong gold earrings that everyone tell me looks like paperclips, my apple watch with the cool iridescent colored mesh bracelet band and my wedding rings. I have a hot lunch date with hubby today so I'm feeling extra cute.
Time since surgery: 16 months
Weight today:201.1
M1: Protein shake
M2: Lunch @ Chima- Brazilian Steakhouse (drool)
M3-4:?? I can't rely on the kids to take out something for dinner now that they are back in school. I gotta start pulling things out the night before. Oh how there education inconveniences me LOL

Good Morning Everyone!
QOTD: I am wearing my grandmother's diamond ring. She passed it down to my mother and I inherited it when my mom died. I will pass it down to my daughter. I had it sized to wear on my middle finger so it doesn't look like an engagement ring.
I stuck to my menu pretty well yesterday and NO protein bars!
My menu for today is:
Breakfast: 1 egg, scrambled, 3 strips bacon
Lunch: Taco salad
Dinner: Hamburger patty (no bun) w/ swiss cheese
Snack: Moon cheese
Snack: Watermelon
Snack: Oiko's Zero greek yogurt
Snack: Sugar-free pudding w/ cool whip
I probably won't eat all the snacks, but I listed several so I have a choice.
Exercise: Walking the dogs.
Have a fantastic day everyone!
