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

Very good luck on your job interview today, Mike!!!  

Mike you are going to kick butt and if the interview already happened then please tell us how it went. 

I too am a commuter to and from work and hour + each way.  I have been doing this for close to 20 years and like you I am tired. I personally won't leave this job/work place but some days I just want a 5 minute commute like some people, but I guess its all a trade off, I am super excited for your new opportunity!

I agree with you, there is some quote out there that I cant' remember exactly right now but something about how you act and speak to other people is just a reflection of your own fears/anxieties and insecurities like you said.   I LOVE that you are a "stand up and take no crap" kind of guy for yourself and for others, I knew I liked you from the start! 

Your garlic cheese sticks sounds yummy, I am going to have to look for those!

Be well Mike and please let me know how the interview went, but you got this! 

Yes, update us on the interview when you have a chance!!!!! 

Mike, I am sure you will do/or did do great! Best of luck and of course keep us updated.

Good luck sir!

Hi Daisy and menu peeps,

I think I can speak for most Americans that this election cycle has been revolting!  No matter what candidate you support, thank god these disgusting attack ads will be off the air as of tomorrow!

I am with you, Daisy...it was pitch black leaving the gym at 6 pm and that was depressing.  But I was wide awake at 6:30 when the sun was already up!

I am sorry to hear about the issue with your MIL and SIL.  That's great that you stuck up for her.  I haven't been overtly fat-shamed, but covertly, absolutely.  Living in DC, I used to take the bus downtown to work, and I could see people looking at me coming down the aisle, surely hoping I didn't sit next to them and spill over the seat :(  Ugh, I see old pics of myself and I can't believe I didn't see myself as I was...looking at old pics I wonder how my skin didn't explode from being stretched so much.

I joked to my bf that we are like Catholics during Lent today...fish fish fish (I need to go to the grocery store)

Time Since Surgery: 2 years, 11 months

B: Egg salad

L: Tuna salad, chicken noodle soup (this is a total comfort meal from my childhood)

D: Salmon patties

While watching election coverage (after College Football Rankings, of course!) we will enjoy a slice of homemade apple pie I made for the kids on Sunday, with some vanilla ice cream.  Not WLS-friendly, but I'm being honest in saying I am having it :)

E: An hour at the gym (must boost the elliptical resistance to help counteract the pie lol)

Have a great day, everyone!  Off to the polls I go!

Em, pass on a big Good Luck and Congratulations to Anny for us. So exciting!

It's dark when I leave work now and it gives me anxiety! I feel like NOOOOOO I still have so much to do today! Sunday evening my husband was ready for bed at 6:30! It felt like 11pm!

QOTD: I've seen quite a bit of fat shaming. My grandmother fat shames my brother all the time. She's 92 so we just let it go. My husbands Aunt (whos had WLS) calls her daughter a heifer. It bothers all of us. She's always talking about peoples sizes. I think it makes her feel better about herself because she's gained back quite a bit. One time me, my husband and the kids were walking along the Galveston sea wall to go eat dinner. It was night time. When a car was passing someone yelled something at me "look at that sexy thang" sarcastically. I was mortified and wanted to cry but I was more mortified for my family. I already felt like I let my husband down because I was not overweight when we got married. He pretended he didn't hear the guy so I did too. I died a little bit inside that night.  

My menu is boring but I made some beef and turkey jerky. I can't wait to try it out!
