What's on Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

GREAT pic!!!

Great picture! You all look so happy and fit

Morning everyone.  Hoping AV is doing well.  The weekend was fun.  Went out and had a few drinks with a coworker and his wife. My hubby was the designated driver and as it turns out he was the designated "help her walk" person as well.  It is so weird how alcohol sneaks up on me since the bypass. Either way the headache in the morning only lasted a few hours and I was back to fighting form.  All is well. Sunday I got to go see a community theater show that my 15 yo son is stage managing for.  It was super cute and funny.  He did great. All the little old people who are the backbone of the community theater in our tiny town kept pulling me aside and telling me what a wonderful kid I have. That was awesome.

QOTD: High school reunion...no clue if they ever have had one.  I had 1600 students in my graduating class.  Needless to say, we were not a tight knit group. I did have dinner with the guy I was best friends with in high school a few years ago.  I was a **** to him and bossed him around and got him into all sorts of trouble. He was still grateful for my rebellious nature dragging him down the rabbit hole. LOL He said ever since high school he had been 'good' and was glad I got him to adventure back int he day. Go Class of 1989!

Menu:

B: Chobani Greek Simply 100 "Crunch", L 2 slices of pastrami and 1 cup of "Dewlicious" melon, S: Light & Fit Greek Yogurt, fresh mozzarella 'heart' snack D: Manwich meat (no bun) and a mozzarella thingy

Totals: Cal: 810, Protein 62, Carb 80, Fat 25

Carbs are a bit high but it is from the melon and that is just tasty tasty goodness. Nothing Salty/Crunchy (S/C) is my goal this week. I talked with the Guy about my 'problem' (ie addiction) to the S/C and we went to Costco on Friday and every time we saw S/C stuffs we made the sign of the cross and ran away.  He was a great support and has agreed that he doesn't need any in the house either. Wish me luck!

You sound like an awesome mom!!

Good morning!

It's been a long time since I've posted, life has been crazy! However, the Cidermill donuts and variety of carby junk I enjoyed this over the last week and into the weekend let me know I really need to get back in the habit!

I think I have found my "happy weight". I've been eating about 1200 calories a day, and I've stayed almost the exact same weight for a little while now. Now to work on toning and loose skin...last month I scheduled my panniculectomy w/ abdominoplasty for October 10th. I'm really looking forward to it!

QOTD: my husband and I went to different high schools, and as luck would have it our reunions were on the same night. We went to his, which I was fine with, we had a great time!

Time since surgery: 17 months

B: 3 strips of "ready bacon", taco cheese curd
S: Hardboiled egg, cheese stick
L: Buffalo chicken salad, green pepper
S: Sliced corned beef and thin provolone slices
D: Chicken & Broccoli pie, cottage cheese
S: Shrimp ****tail

E: already did my hour at the gym

Cal: 1182 Protein: 107 Carb: 20 Fat: 69

Hey stranger! Great to see you!

Good Morning from a very rainy and gloomy DC-suburb. At least the weekend was nice.

QOTD: I went to a very small religious high school with a graduating class of 17.  They don't have formal reunions, but if they did, I'd have no interest in going.  They have an annual "homecoming" basketball game where all the townies show up.  That's about it.

That being said, this question made me realize that I graduated High School 20 YEARS AGO.  Thanks for making me feel old, SS! (just kidding ).  Also, looks like we graduated the same year!  That's cool. 

The menu is a little high today, but I've been stupid hungry this morning... and all day yesterday... and much of the day before. TOM is coming, and I've been super cranky, so I'm sure it's related.  I've already consumed two major carb things and it's barely 11 am.  Oh boy, look out.

Overslept the alarm this morning so no gym time. Headed to the Dr after work for my iron infusion!! Yay! Only a one pound loss last week so my focus this week is protein and water!!

QOTD: I haven't been to a reunion yet. My 5th was on my sons first Bday, my tenth I was pregnant and due any second, I don't think they had a 15th and the 20th was last year right before surgery. I considered going but totally chickened out lol. I have a bit of social anxiety.

B: premier protein shake.

L: Carl budding chicken, 2 oz sharp cheddar cheese

D: del taco chicken taco no tortilla (maybe 2) I will track 2 just in case.

S: light and fit Greek yogurt, beef jerky, string cheese. 

I haven't totaled this yet so I may need to revise.

Morning Menu friends!  On today's menu will be epic amounts of coffee to try and stay awake, I am extra tired!

Weekend in Ithaca, NY was wonderful, way way too short. I highly recommend visiting there and we are thinking of going back sometime to see the Fall colours if we can find some money in our budget!

I feel blessed to have the chance to meet some of our menu posters in person, what an awesome group of people.  Hubby and I had an fantastic time and like I said above it was just way to short!

Pic is of our dinner, we went to an Italian place in downtown Ithaca, sat outside on the patio, it was really really amazing!!!

In this pic down the left side me in the blue jean jacket, mschwab, T is Hagalicious, down the right side is  NYMom222 in the white jean jacket, JuniperBerry, & Grim Traveller and my hubby is taking the picture.  One thing we chatted about this weekend is how looking at all of us would a stranger see people how had WLS or just a bunch of friends out having dinner together?  Other than some of us can't finish a plate of food you can't "tell" we had WLS, I think that is pretty awesome!

ETA: QOTD: No desire whatsoever to ever go to my highschool reunion, my HS was a bunch of snobby rich *****es and I could not wait to leave that place. The worst is now in our 40s they find my on FB and "friend me". I hit "delete" b/c *****es you never spoke to me when I was 18 you think I am going to give you the time of day now? NOPE!!!

My menu today is sad, we have no food in the house so I am going to be buying my lunch today!

B: Dannon L&F "Pumpkin Pie" yogurt (had a cooler with us so brought a few home from Ithaca!)

L: greek chicken skewer with garlic sauce and some greek salad

S: dry roasted peanuts

D: I think we have some Angus burgers in the freezer so a burger with a slice of cheese on it

S: cheese curds

Gotta get some groceries tonight and do some laundry and go to bed early! Have a great day everyone!

Great Pic Daisy, mschwab, T is Hagalicious, NY Mom , JB and Grim! Where was AV?

I just did a google Map and realized Ithaca is 5 + hours from me. I think that Boston is closer to Ithaca than I am!

Looks like a great group and I am glad you all were able to get together. someday I will join ya!
