What's on your Sunday menu, RNYers?

Hi Alan -

looks like you're from the Chicago area - maybe one of these days we upper Midwesterners can meet up, too (like the East coast contingent!)

Welcome!!

Good morning!  I love a Lazy Sunday... football and making more protein ice cream for me today.

QOTD:  Wuss here.  I do not do cold well.  Since surgery I am so cold. We have a heat pump, furnace, and propane fireplace, which will all be used when necessary, even in July. For my birthday, I got two sweaters and a nice warm long sleeved outfit... yay for warm and cozy!

B: premier protein canilla with coffee, omelette with avocado and cheese

L:  2/3 c cottage cheese with sf blackberry jam

D:  poached egg with cheese

S:  LEftover steak salad, Syntrax grapefruit, calcium chew x2

Totals: 578 calories, 60 protein 22 carbs 28 fat

Wow! Good for you that you can eat steak already! I tried ground beef last week and boy that was a mistake! Maybe next week I'll try again.

Ground beef is a no-go for me still, as is ground turkey, chicken.  Also regular chicken is almost impossible.  Only meat that is tolerable is a very lightly cooked skirt steak, and rare roast beef.  Have to be able to chew it up completely.  I tried steak at Chipotle and chewed for quite a while before I realized that it would not work ;).  But I have to say the rare skirt steak was so good.

It is a hit and miss game... i can't eat tuna fish, or scrambled eggs, or most fish really.  Recent hits are scallops and shrimp.  No clue as to the reasoning behind it!  We just have to try, try, try.  You'll get there!

It sure is a hit and miss game! Seems like most of what you can't eat I can! LOL! It's all part of our own individual journey's I guess.

Honestly ground beef or anything 'ground' for that matter tends to be drier and more rubbery when you cook it. Better to try a small piece of steak and cut it in to very small pieces and chew well. In the beginning I cut my steak the size of pencil erasers, and never had a problem.

I too am posting from my warm, snuggly bed, with the heat on! I have a pretty lazy Sunday planned. I will go visit my Dad this afternoon, and since that takes me past Sak's Off 5th Ave, well, you know... Shopping!

QOTD: I don't have any rules around the furnace, other then I don't like to be cold. So, if it's cold in August, the heat is coming on. I have a gas fireplace, and it is so efficient thT when I have it on, it keeps the furnace off.

Today's weight: 138

Time Since Surgery: 23 months

B: Egg Beaters, mozzarella and bacon omelette

S: Hard boiled egg mashed with a little canola mayo

L:  portobello mushroom pizza

S: 4 oz chicken thigh 

D: 4 oz rib eye

Totals: calories 796, carbs 16 (whoop!), protein 71

A pox on Halloween candy!  Mercifully, Halloween is tomorrow and then any leftovers go to work  

Good afternoon,  

QOTD I live in an apartment and I dont know if they turned the heat on yet. Its been 70 in my apartment but I would like it warmer so i put my fleece on to keep warm. The apartment will only go to 74 in the winter so I freeze all winter. Ive turned the heat on in my car.

B egg whites ham and cheese omelet and garlic and herb jack cheese bites

L tuna salad, baby carrots and red pepper

D thin crust supreme pizza

S Greek yogurt,  apple and turkey sausage snack sticks

Have a good day.

I'm in CT and only had my heat on twice so far. This weekend has been warmish and today it's even humid! Go figure!

B: 1 1/2 eggs with low fat cheese, a little bit of diced tomato and a few slices of mushroom. Yum!

L: 2 oz of roasted turkey breast, 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese

D: 2 1/2 oz lean turkey meatloaf, a few mushroom slices

Happy Halloween Everyone!
