What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Keep up the great work Karen!  Are you noticing success with the scale?

Thank you, Ginny!  Yes, the scale is moving downward!  

Ok, I just learned an interesting fact about vanity plates and I'm excited that I get to share...haha! Turns out that people who get them are exponentially more likely to cheat on their taxes (something about the link to narcissism). So now the IRS intentionally targets people with vanity plates for audits. So enjoy reading them, but don't get them for yourself!

All snacks today...long commute, no fridge, no inclination to spend money on a real lunch...

B: Decaf coffee with skim (no food)

S: Mr. Cheese Os

S: Jack Links Teriyaki Beef Bites

S: Ranch Soy Crisps

D: Italian Sausage

LOVE THE GUINEA PIGS! I saw them last week. So much love for the talking animals :)

I don't have vanity plates either as I'm frugal like that. Starting to rain here in Illinois but Lily and I were up at 530 walking and got our 3.2 miles in before the storm started. Post op 4 years plus 2 weeks and weight at 118 today. Here's the food plan B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter added L 31/2 oz ground beef 142 c sweet potato D 31/2 c pulled pork 1/2 c green beans S mission one chocolate brownie protein bar.  Have a great day everyone and make some smart choices! 

Funny

I just saw a plate yesterday that said "GOIN 2 HELL"

I did not follow that truck. . .

Hey ya'll.

QOTD: I don't recall any good ones- I used to have a Georgia Southern univ alumni plate but it cost too much so I didn't keep it when it was time to renew.

Yesterday I made a turkey meatloaf muffin thingy for dinner last night as well as a taco salad turkey one (with wanton wrapper as taco part) they were soo good- can't wait to have more today! The meatloaf ended up being 80 cal and the taco one 110.

Did fairly well on food yesterday. Only a little over calories at 810, 88 prot, 40 carb

Will try for higher prot numbers today.

Today so far my plan is:

B: CM yogurt/1/2 tsp chia, 1/2 tsp flax, miralax/decaf/CM milk/ 1/4 scoop gnc wheybolic powder

S: ?

L: meatloaf muffin

D: taco muffin i think

S: seaweed snacks/more CM milk/decaf

Good morning everyone. I'm still having a hard time getting back on track since vacation- but I have packed my lunch 2 days in a row so that's a plus. This morning breakfast was a package of crackers and peanut butter- how bad is that??? i have to get better at doing breakfast as well as lunch. Lunch is left over nachos. And supper will be pork chops and veggies.  Possibly a potato.....

I think it's also the fact that the kids are back in school; After bible study last night we had to stop in at Walmart to get last minute supplies; the youngest didn't even mention anything that he needed until Monday night - after our 7 hour drive home from PA- where we did tons of shopping and would have had no trouble picking up what he needed.

QOTD- I would never pay for one.  One thing I've noticed up here is that a lot of nurses seem to have them. I've seen several RN_name plates and even a couple of nurses that I know personally have them. I've never thought to ask why.

AV I will check out the video later- I'm at work so no videos!

I was once audited by the IRS... when married to my Ex. Of course it wasn't my fault, it was his and the way he paid his child support and alimony together. I had never had a vanity tag. I DID have one with my last car. It was a tiny little Chevy Sonic Hatchback, 6 speed, turbo.  When my kids first got in it, they exclaimed "Oh wow! It's so fast!" I tole them it's not fast, it's just Zippy! Thus the creation of the little red car named Zippy. I got a vanity plate and had to send in 6 different choices because OK does stuff like it's the 1970's... LOL... so 3 months later I received in the mail my vanity plate Z1PEEE. I loved having it, and I spent the extra $25/year to have it. But now I've grown up (insert so much sarcasm and laughing) and have a Nissan Rogue. Her name is Olive (Long story), but I won't be getting a vanity plate for her... But, she does have a martini glass sticker on the back window... with an Olive in the bottom of the glass  

B: 2.5 oz of steak
