What's on the Menu today (Thursday) RNYers?
Thanks! I totally know what an orange Julius is! I have a fuzzy navel sample I'll try soon. The kiwi strawberry was also a sample and tastes a bit like a virgin strawberry daquari. I'm trying to find some non-milkshakey protien alternatives. Isopure is great but expensive.

Morning folks!!
QOTD: No there isn't anything I fear wearing. Honestly I never understood women (of any size) who said they refuse to wear sleeveless tops, or skirts etc for whatever reason. I always wore skirts, sleeveless top, dresses even belts. Actually I think my appearance looked neater with a belt when I was SMO, than w/o. The belt gave me confidence to tuck in shirts in too. One thin I'll more frequently wear outside of my house are leggings-- that used to be my lazy day around the house attire. Now I'll wear them out. The only thing I HATE wearing/refuse to wear are things like spanx/girdles, "foundation" garments. Too many bad memories of my mother stuffing me into them as a kid telling me I need to lose weight. I'd literally rather have it ALL hang out.

I applaud you for your confidence to wear anything at any size. That was not me at all, and I am very PRO Spanx, I wore them when I was MO and I still wear them now. We are so opposite Peach, but good for you for having the "have it all hang out" attitude, that takes some serious guts girl!!!

Oh I totally forgot about jeans! I NEVER even owned a pair of jeans when I was MO, not one pair. I know hard to believe but I refused to wear pants that huge in denim. Now I own several pairs, several! Its so wonderful!
Great menu Yvonne!
Good morning all!
Quite a cool down, left windows open over nite and awoke to a freezing house!!(no heat on yet!!)
QOTD: I have long standing "issues" when it comes to fashion. One of my greatest joys was wearing scrubs instead of a white uniform dress with white pantyhose. Even in my days before becoming obese I despised panty hose!!! I'm with all who can't do tucked in, horizontal stripes or button down shirts!!

It really has started to cool down here too, heard on the radio driving home that in our Northern part of the Province they are getting snow this weekend! And I have done that before too forgot to close the windows when we went to bed and woke up to an ice cold house. LOL

My younger son is the hunter, usually gets a bear and a deer every year. He just came back from New Brunswick but no bear this year :(
My husband Jim is a butcher; he "processes" wild game animals as a 2nd job during hunting season.
Peach tea is how I'm able to get all those liquids in!!! Hated venison as a kid but love it now. Maybe it was the way it was cooked!! Sorry Mom!!! LOL
