What's on your Menu (Monday) today RNYers?

Good Morning Daisy and Gang!

I had a nice quiet weekend.  Went on walks with the dogs.  It is Summery here in Nebraska as well.  I like it.  I am not ready for Winter to come.

QOTD:  I have days when I am fine and other days when I feel like I am hungry ALL the time!  I have to watch the clock to see if enough time has passed and I can eat something again.  And yes, it's usually evenings when this happens the worst.

My menu for today:

B:  crepe w/ peach, cream cheese, cool whip

L:  Lettuce, spinach, chicken, tomato, cheese, cranberries, low cal dressing

D:  chili cheese dog

S:  Light & Fit strawberry cheesecake yogurt

S:  prosciutto & mozzarella sticks

Exercise:  Walking the dogs

Have a FANTASTIC day everyone!

Kakesie, in your salad at lunch you put cranberries, are those cranraisin's or regular cranberries?  I love cranberries and I would add them to a salad but I would think regular cranberries to be very bitter>

Hi TTFan,

They are dried cranberries, shriveled up, like raisins.   

Chili cheese dog yum

Glad you had a good weekend Karen with the pups! Your menu looks great, I love the idea of a chili dog and prosciutto & mozzarella sticks, fantastic!

We are the opposite in the fact that I can't wait for winter, I love snow and winter is great!

I have days where I feel like I am so hungry and want to eat all day long, its quite distressing actually.  A large part of this surgery is (in my opinion) what happens in our minds.  Its seems so black and white ie. you eat xx at this time, then drink, then you eat xx at this time and then drink. But no one told us that LIFE and stress and "things" were still going to derail us and have us returning to old habits. 

I am glad you come here daily and post your menu and get support because it will continue to get harder my dear!

Keep up the great work!!

Thanks, Daisy!  I guess it's good that you love Winter since you live in Canada!  LOL!  Nebraska can have some pretty fierce blizzards and nasty ice storms, but at least I know Spring is coming eventually!  HUGS to you & Arun and to Oliver & Amy!

My weekend was pretty low key. I went through my closet and dug out some stuff that fits again. Most of it is cooler weather stuff too so I moved it all to the front. I can wait to lose enough to where I can go buy a few cute things! I'm tired of wearing stuff just because it fits .

QOTD - I'm still new for bad habits but the struggle will be with night time snaking. My husband and children do it. It was like a family thing. My husband (the chef) always has ideas. I already had to watch them all eat fried doughnut bites w/powdered sugar. I quit buying them popcorn because that is something I cannot resist!!!

B - Boiled egg and 2 pcs of bacon

L - Baked pork chops & collard greens if any room

S - Protein shake

D - Pesto chicken thighs

S - sf popcicle 

Liq - on track

Exercise - getting my 10k steps

Go check out the thrift shops around you... maybe you can find something you LOVE right now to reward yourself with. And you won't feel bad if it's cheap either!

You are so right! I really need to do that.

Glad you had a good weekend "shopping" in your own closet, that's a win win!  And since it didn't cost you anything I think you deserve to go and get a new outfit or two, GoodWill here you come!  My Mom is pretty hip and down to earth and shops at some of the stores I shop at and she was also a lot smaller than me when I had surgery. So when I started to drop sizes she went through her closet and gave me a lot of really great clothes that helped me as I went down in sizes. Not sure if you have a sister/best friend/co worker/Mom who is smaller and would be willing to go through their closest and give you some "in between sizes" clothes, just an idea.

I have to say, way to be strong with having a husband who is a Chef and you in a sense be eating yummy stuff all day long!  Oh my little white powdered donuts were a HUGE WEAKNESS of mine pre surgery. I was known to eat a whole box of those myself, until I got sick.  Good luck with resisting, it seriously gets harder, but you got this.

Great menu, keep up the great work!
