What's on your Sunday menu, RNYers?

Good morning! Glad you are so close to being able to get the house in the market. Great job on sticking to your plan and that it's working so well for you!!

QOTD: As a kid my sister and I were able to open one gift on Christmas Eve (usually our annual ornament) and we usually let Em open one present. There is always cookies and milk for Santa and a snack for the reindeers.

Menu: B: latte, boiled egg, chicken/maple sausage and an orange L: Sweet and spicy tuna pack, Marys gone crackers and carrots S: latte, Fitjoy gingerbread bar (so good) and yogurt D: grilled chicken and cottage cheese 

6 miles done. water and vits on track.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Christmas party at the doctors' house was nice last night - although I had way too much in the way of desserts (which I normally would never eat).  I ended up having a total of 1500 kcal yesterday, instead of my usual 1200.  My weight was up 1.5 lbs this morning, but I'm sure that had to be sodium.  So I feel like a bloated stuffed sausage today.  It's a horrible, uncomfortable feeling, but on the bright side, I don't feel like eating when I have days like this, so it should be pretty easy to stay a bit below 1200 today (maybe 1000?) to make up for last night.

QOTD:  when we were children, we'd spend Christmas Eve at my grandmother's with our aunts, uncles, and cousins.  We'd have a big dinner and open presents afterward.  On Christmas morning, we'd have our own little family Christmas at our own house.   Now, my husband and I and my mom go over to my sister's house on Christmas Eve.  We just have various appetizers/finger foods for dinner - and then we pull them out again during the day on Christmas Day to snack on.  Christmas Day we spend at my mom's.  We open presents, which nowadays is mostly gift cards since we don't have little kids in our family anymore, and no one wants more "stuff".  Then we have a big dinner that night.  This year, they want me to make lasagna.    We've done that a couple of years in the past because you can make it a day or two ahead of time (so you're not stuck cooking all day on Christmas Day), it feeds a crowd, and everyone likes it.  I think in light of my surgery, though, I'll make one traditional one and a second one using eggplant or zucchini instead of noodles, and ground turkey instead of ground beef or sausage.  My mom was afraid that would be way too much food - which it is - but it freezes well - and I won't have to cook again all week!

Happy Sunday!! (I wi**** was not Sunday  although my daughter comes home from college Tuesday so that is a positive)

QQTD:  Christmas Eve we used to do the big family thing and now we just hang out with my husband and our daughter.  When she was younger (she is 21 now) she opened one present.  We order Chinese food and watch Christmas Vacation, Elf, and Charlie Brown Christmas.  Before she goes to bed she leaves Santa cookies and a beer yes I said beer my husband had her convinced at a young age by the time Santa got to our house he was sick of Milk and needed to mix things up so beer is has always been.  That was always fun to explain to teachers when she was in grade school
