What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Of all the places you interviewed... where do you want to work the most? Make a list of that, because that will help you in deciding when the offers come in.
In the meantime, if you get an offer that's say #10 on the list, just thank them and tell them you need to talk it over with your family and you'll get back to them the next day... and then try to hold out for #1 on your list.

I would tell them you have multiple interviews scheduled and will be making a decision in the next day or so. It doesn't hurt for them to see you as a prize to be snatched out of someone else's hands. People LOVE winning.

Goodmorning. I am SOOOO tired this week, I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe the weather change? Or maybe going 90 mph from point A to point B, dunno. I went to bed at 9:30pm last night and don't think I moved until 5am when the alarm went off. Come on weekend!
QOTD: I started last November on a 1200 calories/day diet, lowish carbs. I tried to stop drinking with meals, etc also. By May I had lost 35 pounds, which was good for me. I also think coming here and posting faithfully even when I hadn't had surgery really helped create a healthy habit. I logged all my food in MFP although I didn't really measure much at that point.
B- irish tea w/SF creamer, 3 oz deli ham (I thought of you this morning when I stopped it exactly at the 3 Grim--because it's shaved ham--it IS possible! Ha!)
L- I didn't pack anything so I'm thinking probably 1/2 of a qdoba bowl with chicken, pico, guac, cilantro, salsa
D- shrimp with ****tail sauce
S- other half of qdoba bowl
Totals- Cals- 658; protein- 78; carbs- 22; sugar- 2; fat- 31

Good morning all! You guys! I went to the Y that is close to my new house last night and they DON'T HAVE TVs ON THEIR CARDIO EQUIPMENT! Life is bad, bad, bad. #FirstWorldProblems. My old Y was brand new and super luxurious, this one is fine, but I'm used to the Rolls Royce of YMCAs, damnit! PLUUUS this one takes me a full 15 minutes to get to, where as I used to be at the gym in 5 minutes or less.
Changes
QOTD: Last time I lied? Most likely it was a little lie to the niece, "No honey, there aren't anymore episodes of Calliou, he's gone FOREVER!" Or something along those lines.
Time since surgery: 2+ years
B: coffee and a breakfast sandwich
S: more coffee (have a coffee meeting), Siggi's Skyr
L: chicken salad
S: Balanced Break pack
D: TJ's turkey meatballs (my sister and nieces are coming for dinner and to see the house now that I'm all moved in - they all get noodles in addition to their meatballs LOL)
S: Suzie's Thins with PB and a frozen Chobani tube
TOTALS: Calories 1194, Protein 75, Carbs 111 (again, too high, what am I DOING?!), Fat 54
V/W: started
E: running around with nieces?
I'm less than a week into this Living With a (Future) Husband thing and I already don't know how to cook for two of us! Well, the cooking is ok, but I'm used to cooking a recipe, portioning it out and figuring out the stats - it's much harder to do that now, damnit. How do you guys do it?
