What's on your Saturday menu RNYers?

Good morning! 

QOTD: We decorate big inside and out! We have small kids, so we try to capture the magic of Christmas!  However, I have a strict rule of not decorating until after Thanksgiving. One holiday at a time around here, and all decorations have to come down by January 1! There are no exceptions to this rule!!!

B: boiled eggs

L: Cajun turkey, pork rinds

d: Italian meatballs, meaty marinara, shredded provolone

S: Cheese if I need it. 

NINE DAYS UNTIL RNY!!!

With the outdoor lights-it is a big job, and grab the good weather when you can- Just don't turn them on until after Thanksgiving!

I always pick the day around Thanksgiving with the nicest weather, and put outside lights up then. But I NEVER turn them on until after Thanksgiving.

Oh...Yay for Christmas lights and all that fun stuff! I love putting up Christmas lights, but without anyone here to help me I've kinda given up in recent years.... If my son is here for Thanksgiving I try to gt him to do it with me, and he always rolls his eyes at me....Where did I go wrong in his upbringing?

My Christmas craziness is all those stuffed animal things that are animated and play songs.... That is my winter wonderland of friends. It started when my son was young, First there was snoring santa in a bed, and then I bought a Moose that played 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer'... that he was supposed to give to his Dad (my ex) as a Christmas gift...but I fell in love with it and kept it.... The rest is history as they say. It is so fun when kids come to the house- or now my grandson and they run around and have to play them all.... Again still get eye-rolls from my son...Where did I go wrong???? 

I am in a good place in maintenance 166. Learning a new level of mental clarity....I had learned how not to stress the fluctuations during weight loss...now I am learning not to do it in maintenance. I was 162 for quite a few days last week- but that is on the abnormal low side- but my WLS/fat brain says - Yay! That is where you should stay! Maybe you should go lower! ----Did I eat 10,000+ calories extra now that I am 166 today? No. Our bodies are weird and wrapping my head around it all in a new way....  My Mantra- +/-165 is all good.....+/-165 is all good.....+/-165 is all good.....

BTW was disappointed in Costco's sample offerings yesterday- very carb heavy because I guess it is all about pre-Holiday indulgence ..... That didn't stop me of course from sampling the adorably miniature Red Lobster cheddar Bay Biscuits they were making...

B: Coffee Latte Fairlife/Miralax  Protein Smoothie TBD

L: Chicken with or without soup

D: Steak

Snacks: Syntrax fuzzy navel, hard boiled eggs, babybel cheese, pb on a spoon. (as needed)

ex: 21-day-fix in and modified as needed... Now have series of exercises from PT too.... 3x a day.

OMG! I wouldn't be able to turn down a Red Lobster biscuit either. That's like when I make homemade yeast rolls for Christmas I just plan to eat 1/2 one. The bread and sweets are definitely my downfall!

I didn't think anything was your downfall... you are so steady in everything, your food, your weight, your walks with Lily... glad you are human and not an alien:)

I still feel like I am all over the place, did you feel like that in the beginning of maintenance?

Yes I was at first and it made me paranoid too. I still have lots of head hunger especially in the winter but I drink coffee and hot tea instead of eating. It is definitely a daily struggle. I wish they could fix our heads like they do our stomachs!

I've gotten into drinking hot tea when I'm hungry, too - esp at work.  I love it!

Morning peeps-

ive been in my run and am at bowling. 

qotd: I decorate inside more than outside. I have lighted candy cane path markers for outside, and the wreath for my door-- that's about it. I kind of don't want a traditional tree this year-- we have a small living room-- gonna explore options. 

18 months out, 194.9 today

M1: Greek yogurt, berrries granola; egg

M2-4: no idea. I've been through all the left overs-- guess it's time to dig in the freezer and cook. I have shrimp and left over crabmeat I need to make use of today too...

Hi menu gang,

We have snowflakes today. Yuck! At least its still to warm to stick. They're having santa parade downtown this morning so I guess it's appropriate. 

QOTD I live in an apartment so I don't decorate outside.

B egg whites ham and cheese omelet and string cheese 

L cheeseburger

D chicken breast and peas

S Greek yogurt,  turkey sausage snack sticks and apple

Have a good day
