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

Hey Cynthia - glad you went to CAMAW and got results - I may do the same next week in advance of Thanksgiving!  I am so sorry that your neck has gotten worse.  Life won't give you anything you can't handle, I suppose.  I am encouraged that your niece and her daughters are on the mend.  Stay well!

Good for you for doing CAMAW! Glad to hear your nieces and grand nieces are healing well!

Yes on the thigh high boots and stripes, for sure those are stepping out of my comfort zone things!!

feel better soon and take care of yourself, you need to be better for the holidays coming up so you can look fabulous!! Get well soon!!! 

I've been on steroids and have a 9 lb gain.  May I ask what CAMAW is?

Good morning! I'm so looking forward to heels being comfortable again! TBH, I only wear flat shoes because the heels are so uncomfortable.  I have a pair of short heels for the holiday party next weekend and i'm happy with that.  

I love to dress up. I don't wear makeup other than a little mascara and a brow pencil occasionally, but dressing nicely is a big thing for me.  I love when we shop in the states because it's easier to get reasonably priced plus size clothing.  I can not wait to be skinny and be able to shop in the regular clothing section. I'm great at finding good deals. B****o my fellow Canadians- Reitman's has a 40% off everything flash sale from 11-2. 

I'm sticking to the diet so that the dress fits better. I tried it on last night and it's getting there.  Anyone up for an AMAW challenge next week? I'm going to be doing it anyway to lose as much weight as possible before the party next weekend.

Today, I'm not exactly sure what I'm eating.  I have a protein shake ready to go- somedays  I drink it and some I don't. I will be hitting up the salad bar at work and then I have to figure out dinner.  

Have a great day everyone.

I'll do AMAW with ya! I have my aunt's party next Saturday! If I could lose just a smidge more before then I'd be happy! I kind of have started on it already since my house guests are gone, but I haven't been 100%. Monday through Friday would work for me!

That works perfectly for me as well!

Good for you for being fabulous at any weight! I love that!! 

Shopping in the US is awesome!  It's probably good I don't live there cuz I am addicted to TARGET!!

Party next weekend will be awesome, can't wait to see pics!  

Good for you for doing AMAW/CAMAW, there is no doubt in my mind it works!!!!  Good luck, have fun with it and let us know how you do!!

QOTD:  Still on the journey, but clothes for sure.  So far I've just been shopping in my closet from previous weight losses, but as I get closer to goal I definitely see some major shopping in my future.  The other thing I noticed is that I don't run and hide when someone pulls out a camera.  I have very few pictures at my highest weights because I would always avoid the camera.  I would always offer to take the picture of a group so I didn't have to be in it.

B:  Decaf coffee w/scoop of vanilla protein powder

S:  Light N Fit Greek Yogurt

L:  Last of my Eggface Ricotta Bake

D:  Maybe 2 oz. pork chops and a few baked beans.  Last time pork didn't sit so well so we'll see.  

E:  8 miles on the stationary bike done

shopping in your closet is the best!  And you nailed it! I am a camera hog now and hubby thinks I take wayyyy too many selfies!  Pre surgery I refused to be in pics. Actually got in a fight once with a cousin because I would not let her take my pic, it was an ugly scene but I refused pics before, so good job you!!!

Good luck with the pork tonight. Use a sauce if you have to or take a bite of very very small pork chop with a bit of green bean at the same time, will help!!

good job on the 8 miles on the bike, must feel wonderful!!

thought I'd get on the tuna train, so last night I went to the store and bought some small cans of tuna and a couple of bottles of balsamic vinaigrette.  Can't wait to try it out!!

QOTD:  hmmm...I wear a much greater variety of clothes now, but that's mostly because they *fit* and not due to a change in confidence level.  Although like NYMom, I have a few striped things now, which I never in a million years would have worn pre-surgery.  Also, like others - cameras.  I always tried to stay out of photos pre-surgery.  Not anymore!!

17 months out

B:  plain Greek yogurt, blackberry sauce (fresh blackberries that I'd cooked down in a little SF Torani syrup)

S:  iced protein pumpkin latte, coffee with half & half

L:  1 C cottage cheese, baby carrots

D:  sirloin steak with mushroom sauce

probably another Greek yogurt or frozen protein pumpkin pop
