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

Good morning everyone!  Happy Thursday!! Again I have to thank you all for you love & well wishes of my pup Amy. Got her home from the Vet yesterday afternoon, she was very groggy and drugged up. She is such a trooper and the Vet said she did great. She has a big incision her back and the Vet said she found a "fatty lump" in her groin so she took that out too. So poor girl is not walking so great and lying down or squatting to pee is painful for her, right side groin incision & left side back incision. We get the results back early next week on the lump from her back. Thanks again everyone. Here's my girl:

QOTD: Did you have a favourite TV show growing up?  Was there a show that the family watched together in the evenings?  We only had one TV in my house growing up, pretty much my Dad ruled what we watched so I remember shows like "Sanford & Son and The Barney Miller show" on a lot as those were Dad's shows. But two shows I remember watching as a family in the evenings was "The Muppet Show" and "The Cosby Show." Awww the good old days.

Have a great day everyone!

So glad she is home and recovering! What a trooper. I hope you are getting some rest, too!

So, I have been insanely busy at work, lately. When I am here I don't even have a SECOND to breathe let alone come back on to read posts, so I am really behind on the OH gossip lately ;) I hope you all are doing well.

The busy schedule is also not great for my menu and routines. I weighed in at a whopping 119.1 this morning, which is 2lbs over my high comfort range in maintenance. I really need to focus and not allow this excuse of being busy and stressed to cloud my better judgement. I keep wishing maintenance was easier, but it just isn't. This is for life, people. For life!

Here is my attempt at a better day today:

B: egg & cheese in a tortilla and decaf coffee with whole milk

S: Triple Zero Greek Yogurt

L: insides of some stromboli (I cut the bread off the sides)

S: Sargento Balanced Break (almonds and cheddar)

D: not sure--going to the movies to see Fantastic Beasts! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN! I WILL NOT EAT POPCORN!

QOTD: Muppets was the hands-down favorite show when I was really little. I also loved Little House on the Prairie, Different Strokes, Wonder Years, Who's the Boss, Night Court...and then as a teenager nothing beat The Golden Girls!

Golden girls!! Still high on my list of best shows! One of the few whose jokes stand up well today!

What you said about maintenance- I'm there with you... fluctuations are going to be there sometimes for good reasons... and sometimes for no reason....

Grim do not be a bad influence- (assuming he is your escort  ) No Popcorn! No Popcorn! No Popcorn!

I'm having popcorn. I'll be glad to slap her hand if she tries to take some. The big problem is how to keep her from licking my fingers after.

I'm surprised to hear you find the finger licking problematic...

Only when the ushers ask us to leave.

I'm glad Amy is home! Still have my fingers crossed . . .

QOTD: I watched a lot of TV as a kid. The earliest shows I recall were already in reruns by then. Dick van Dyke, Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy seemed to always be on.

Ok Grim, what gives? How come we don't get the pleasure of seeing your menu sometimes? Us newbies (ok at least me!) could really benefit from it. Oh wait.....you're not eating pizza for every meal are ya? Just kidding!
