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

Hello Friend!  I know you have been busy and I have been thinking about you!!!  So happy to see you back!

So what does Nikki do now that you are not IM training?  Do you take the winter off and just do "regular" workouts or what's on the horizon? 

I like that you have taco's on your menu twice, I LOVE TACOS!!!

Have an awesome day and don't be a stranger girl! 

QOTD: Good for you!!  I grew up with a mother who has ALWAYS been thin, and always made/makes hurtful comments about my weight and always commented on what I was eating.  IT SUCKED!!!  I am not a person who likes confrontation, but you bet your ass I will stick up for anyone being fat shamed!!  You know, except myself, cause why would I do that??? HAHA

19 Months since surgery

4 protein shake throughout the day

Dinner: (2) ham & egg cups with 1tsp zesty honey mustard (must be quick dinner tonight, we have to go vote after work)

Totals: Cals: 835  Protein: 139  Carbs: 29  Fat: 20

I will probably have an evening snack, just dont know what yet.  Last night was 2 light string cheese, tried a different brand and they weren't all that great.

You Mom gets a big old  poo poo!  That is so not nice!!!  You should stand up more for yourself Melissa you are a beautiful successful woman with an gorgeous family, shove that in your skinny Mom's pie hole! LOL LOL

It legit is hard to confront a parent or family member, a strange well who cares they are a stranger but family UGH been there.

Yummy dinner, I am coming over after I go to Pat R's for the venison pastrami, JBs for the sausage & peppers LOL LOL

Lately I have been having 2 babybels before bed, they are super filling for me, just an idea!

Have a good one!

Morning everyone!

happy Election Day! (Happy for it to end day hahah)

I discovered a new perk of Rny. Went out for lunch with a girl friend yesterday, I ordered this amazing chopped salad with grilled chicken. Ate my little portion, got a to go box. Then for dinner, made fish tacos for two, used the salad for some of the toppings, and I'll still have some left for dinner tonight. Wild! I was a little worried about the cost of eating vs the value for me post surgery, but it's like the opposite is true haha

qotd: not really no. And I'm one of the blessed who never had friends of family or strangers do it to me either. But my husband, who is big and quite tall does get a lot of "hey big guy" comments or strangers joking about how they wouldn't want to get on his bad side etc 

Drives.me.bazonkers. They would never dream of saying anything like that to a woman. 

Menu:

B :protein shake

L: tbd I'm in mtl with my dad again, so I'm not sure 

D: also tbd but will include some chopped salad!

have a great day everyone!

I have to ditto your "new perk."  Recently hubby and I got Greek Chicken platters as take out from our local Diner, I literally think it lasted me 8 meals... 8!!! Its pretty awesome to have leftovers.  I always break things down my price as well. So for example when we went to the Keg my steak dinner was $32 but I got 3 meals out  it so it was only $10.67 a meal and any person could easily eat $11 worth at McDonalds for just one meal, know what I mean!

Glad you don't get the comments but I hear you on your hubby getting "big guy" and you are 100% no ever would say that to a woman, EVER!!

Enjoy Montreal with your Dad!!!!   Have a great one!

Good morning, Daisy and Menu Crew!  It's a chilly morning here, and I haven't had the best day so far, but things got a little better.  I work in an office that has a pretty casual dress code (jeans and t-shirts, tennis shoes, etc.).  Well, I put on my jeans, threw on a thermal and realized that my tennis shoes are muddy for all of the muck around the barn this weekend.  I threw them in the washer and was reaching for my go-to super comfy black shoes, but could only find one of them.  I'm looking all over the closet and throwing stuff out so I can find it, and I come across my fav. pair of boots that haven't fit in about a year.  I'm talking real boots, handmade boots, "cowboy boots" that my daddy made for me.  Was about to put them on, and I prayed. Well, they went on like butter, so I took a picture and sent it to my daddy.  Immediately got a phone call from him, crying tears of happiness.  Best NSV I will probably ever have.

QOTD: My whole family has been obese, except for my brother, but he could get that way if he wasn't so diligent. My grandmother, however, is not.  She has always been slim and small.  A few years ago, at Thanksgiving, Grandma made a comment to my mother along the lines of "You have some big girls!" Mind you, both of my sisters have had RNY, one is at target, one is overweight, and here I was obese at the time.  Hurt me, but not as much as it did my oldest sister.  My mom snapped back with "Yes, they're pretty tall!" but we all knew what she meant.  So, neither of my sisters really care for my grandmother very much.  I do love her, but she is one of my biggest supporters in this journey to health.

Time until RNY: 20 days

B: tuna and balsamic again (loved this!)

L: pan seared catfish, hot sauce

S: jerky

D: shrimp fried cauliflower rice

S: yogurt if needed

V: choked down again (it's getting better!)

L: two coffees down, iced tea in front of me, then water with lemon

E: ran another mile this morning, plan on a walk with the husband after I get home from work

Have a great day, folks!

Best NSV!!!

You tell us about these HANDMADE boots your dad MADE you, and you don't attach a picture??!

Congratulations!!!! I bet you feel great today!!!

Ok, Pam.  So here they are.  I had searched all over the place for a pair of boots that I liked that would actually fit me (I have large feet).  I was complaining to my dad...a leatherman by hobby...and he told me to find the ones I wanted and he would make them for me.  So, after showing him a picture of what I wanted, we got online and ordered all of the leather that he would need.  The end result is better than I could have asked for.  They are much more stylish than the picture I showed him.  

Yeah!  He has talent! 

I LOVE Them!!! Great design, and I bet they are twice as comfy as any store bought pair you could have found!!!
