What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Break out the Wii Zumba! I have it--it's fun!

I owned Beach Body 21-day-fix for at least 4 years before I ever did it... now I love it. Who would have thought. Also had my rebounder trampoline for 4ish years as well and never did more than 5 minutes at a time before I had surgery. The trampoline got me through my first winter.... so we all have good intentions...

Good morning.  Hope you all are having a good day.  AV sorry about the bus driver.  That stinks!  I have no bus driver issues because I have kid issues related to getting to school instead.  As many of you know my son is transgender and for some reason the school district here segregates the bus riders to the "boys side" and the "girls side" of the bus.  A friend of my son was yelled at by the bus driver and forced to sit with the 'girls' even though he is also transgender and clearly is a guy.  It was traumatic for him and ever since my son refuses to ride the bus for fear that his bus driver will some day find out that he is trans and make a scene. It is so stupid. Why make even sitting on the bus such a gender related issue. Grrr. So.... I drive him to school every morning and pick him up. It is just one more hassle that seems unfair but I can say I enjoy seeing him in the morning and the afternoon for the ten minute drive.  Finding time with teenagers is a challenge so I will take it.

QOTD: I am wearing my wedding ring, engagement ring, and anniversary band on one hand; a white gold diamond 'knot' ring on the other; and a silver Tiffany lock necklace that symbolizes my relationship with my Guy. I always wear these same things. I don't own any other jewelry.

Menu:

It is a mess.  I never got to the grocery store yesterday.  I added some granola to my morning yogurt and ended up sick as a dog all day. I actually had to leave work early because I couldn't stop running to the restroom. Was miserable. I ended up laying in bed all afternoon and evening and eating Goldfish crackers (like...no clue how many/much/cup fulls) because I was hungry but there was nothing in the house.  To make matters worse, when the Guy called and told me he was headed home he said he was stopping at the grocery store for coffee and asked if I needed anything. I, obviously, needed him to find some sort of sugar free ice cream. LOL Why ice cream?  No clue.  I haven't eaten anything like that since surgery so I have no idea what the heck i was thinking. Bless his heart he found one that was low fat, low cal, low sugar. I ate 1/2 a cup of it as my 'dinner'. It was frickin delicious by the by. Terrible for me I am sure but oooohhhh so good. The scale had my back this morning (high five to the scale) and I was still 139 so it is all water under the bridge now. 

So...today I have a Greek yogurt for breakfast and one for lunch and a cheese stick for snack.  Dinner will be what I pick up from the grocery store. I am thinking about making a meatloaf. We shall see. Organization really needs to get better from me. 

that sucks about the bus- I remember seeing this in india when i was there about 3 years ago. Men have to sit on one side only- women can sit wherever they want but preferable on right.

I'm trying a meatloaf with ground turkey flavored with taco seasoning tonight I believe. will maybe crush up pork rinds for the 'breading' in it. saw it on someone's website- i think it was eggface. OR i might do the wanton cups with the ground turkey and coleslaw mix stuff

not sure

That's some bull**** right there about the bus.  But on the flip side, you get to spend extra quality time with your kid.  I call that a win! 

I am always stunned at people's level of ignorance when it comes to transgender issues.  And even if they don't understand, why would any decent person embarrass and shame a child like that?  What an idiot! 

That is a new one for me... never heard of gender segregation on the bus.... Is it just this driver? or school-wide?

Weird right?  It is district wide in this area.

hey yall

I'm on countdown- GB surgery is monday afternoon! they have me scheduled at 3 PM- and fasting- yikes. will be so happy to have it out because I have not been sleeping well lately due to it I believe. work is stressing me out a bit now trying to get all this done before I'm out.

QOTD: I have not been wearing my wedding rings during the day unless I'm going out. Mostly because they are sOOOO big and annoy me jangling around my finger. I will have them sized down once I reach goal. On my right hand I wear the latest ring I made on vacation. It is a sterling hammered band with a set CZ in the center. It reminds me of the 17th century rustic rings. When I'm going out, I usually wear a milky baltic amber pendant with a long chain, sometimes with my green baltic amber ring.
