What's on your Menu today (Photo Friday) RNYers?

Good morning, Daisy and Menu Crew!  Happy Veteran's Day to all who have served and continue to serve for this great nation.

Here's my picture: my brother, left, the day he was promoted to Lt. Colonel in the US Army.  He was on a civil deployment, building ebola hospitals in Liberia when he got his promotion.  He is now the commander of a batallion and a career officer.  He is not the only one in my family who has served.  I have two grandfathers (Navy and Air Force), an uncle (Air Force), three cousins (Army, Air Force, Air Force), my brother (Army), and many friends (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, National Guard) whom have all served in different branches.  Thank you to all of them!

Time until RNY: 17 days, y'all! (Going today to get stocked up on broth, SF Jell-O, protein powders, and chewable vitamins after I hit the feed store and stock up on feed for all of the animals...next payday is black Friday, and I don't want to have to deal with people, so we're getting enough to last a month.)

Weight this morning: 252.5 (Met that "lose 30 before surgery" goal!)

B:  huevas mexicanas with green sauce

L:  TBD...didn't pack anything today, because I am getting off work at noon (Praise the Lord for half work days!)

D:  Steak?  I don't know yet, but def. protein forward

S:  SF Fudge Pop

V:  Went down easy this morning

L:  One coffee so far, and a huge glass of iced tea on my desk

E: Ran a mile and a half, and plenty of walking throughout the day, I'm sure

Have a great weekend, folks!

Good for you on the 30 lb goal! I don't have anything as lofty as that. :) Maybe once I have an actual surgery date, I will be more focused.  I have lost 11 so far, and I'm hoping for surgery sometime before April.

Thank you!  I saw that your meeting with the surgeon got postponed, and I'm sorry.  I know the waiting game sucks.  Before you know it, you'll be on the countdown!

Congrats on meeting your precious surgery weight loss goals. Keep up the good work!

I HAVE autocorrect when it changes words on me!

And yes yet again. I hate autocorrect . 

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all the men and women who have served!

Thanks for sharing your Grandfathers story Daisy. It brought tears to my eyes. My Grandfather served but he was an accountant and never went to war so he never wanted anybody to acknowledge that he served hahaha. The pics are of my husband. He did an extended tour in Iraq,

about 18 months. He was Infantry.

 

That second picture is so freaking awesome 

Hi no pics for me today. both my grandfathers and my dad were veterans.

your chicken sounds yummy! I made curry spiced pumpkin seeds last night. Not sure if DH will eat them or not. Also- one of the chickens we are sitting for was dead last night :( we had to scoop it up and bury it. and one got out through no fault of ours. so not looking good.

plans for this weekend- tomorrow we are going to the botanical garden with neighbors and then to lunch. im making a cookie brownie to take and no I'm not planning on eating it. any of it.

Sunday i have free yoga at this spa- haven't been in over a week and miss it :(

Calories yesterday were at 800

Ate all my fish yay and had roast and squash for dinner.

today i will have more roast, egg whites and not sure what else.

What botanical garden are you going To? My youngest works at Smith Gilbert Gardens in Kennesaw. It's a beautiful Place! We are coming down to see him on the 20th and will have some free time probably on Saturday the 26th while he's at work.
