What's on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

Yes! You nailed it. Totally his fault...absolutely Hehehehe Him and his being out of town. :) It is true though.  When he is there I am more conscientious. Not sure if that is it this time though because I have been tell him all the crazy stuff I am eating and doing. I know I am not 'sneaking' in the proper sense but I still do it. Maybe I should start Face-timing him when I am eating LOL That seems awkward and daunting. Might work

Hugs back to ya! 

I actually feel better just talking about it here with you guys because I know that there really is accountability. You are all going to know if I fail and I want no part of that misery so I feel confident I will find a way to be successful. Vulnerable and flawed...but dammit I will succeed!

It is amazing how you can be cruising along and the bam...the struggle jumps in and is too real. While the choices start in our mind- there is a physical component too like when we let too many carbs slip in or the choice of carbs. I got up late night recently and ate and I was like WTF? I didn't do this before surgery.

Funny I've done that with MFP as well after a bad day and seen in the end the numbers weren't as bad as I thought... but again it is the mindset that goes with the numbers.

Remember each day is a new beginning... I also remind myself sometimes of things I am telling other people on here... Oh yeah, I need to do that :)

I do feel like it has been a 'carb begets carb' kind of cycle.  I did get the last of the salty crunchy carbs out of the house and I did make better choices in the things I ate so that is good. No more Triskets are in the house.  No multi-grain bread to make PB&J out of.  No pretzels or anything snacky like that. I will have to be really careful to keep that stuff away for sure. 

I have been making many things in the Instant Pot that are kind of carb risky (rice or pasta or potatoes in them or served with them).  I am going to rework my meal plan for tonight and go with a true low carb meal.  Hopefully that will help.

Thank you for being one of my cheerleaders!

I'm sorry that your feeling like this, sending you hugs. 

Good morning,

I didn't want to get up this morning. So my schedule is off. At least it isn't raining today.

Absolutely late post again today! Wrapping up a job is so busy!

QOTD: Depends on the people. My immediate family wont push things on me because they're very supportive. Actually some are a little micromanaging, lol. However, people who arent that close to me dont understand the plan/rules so they often suggest some things that I can't/shouldn't have.

Good morning!! A little sunshine right now before the rain starts, again.... Feeling back to normal and was able to eat yesterday!

QOTD - YES!! My honey and my son still haven't quite grasped that I cannot have sugar or other carbs. They are still always pushing food I can't have and I tell them no I can't have them they say not even a bite??? I tell them over and over that no it will make me sick! When I eat dinner with my honey, he always looks at my plate and whatever I have leftover that I couldn't finish and says 'oh sweetie, I'm sorry...' he feels sorry that I eat so little. I tell him I'm fine and I'm full. He doesn't get it, he thinks I am deprived.

Good morning everyone. It's my sisters birthday today so we will be going out for dinner, my first since surgery. I'm looking forward to it because I'm feeling like I'm in a good place at the moment and I've checked out the menu online so I know I have a couple options. I've been sticking with my exercise plan and it's making me feel stronger already even if only mentally. 

QOTD I don't have any food pushers per say but my family isn't fully tuned into my diet just yet. They don't question if I say yes or no to something but they just haven't quite got it yet. In their minds I should be eating more traditional type diet foods; salads etc so I've had to explain myself several times. I don't mind because they are trying to be supportive they just don't understand because it's not their journey. My sister did stop my mom from putting a water glass at my place for Christmas dinner which made me smile and thank her for remembering. They'll get there. 

B - decaf w/ SF hazelnut

L - turkey, laughing cow

D - likely chicken breast with a side of guacamole in case it's too dry

S - protein drink, turkey bite

Totals 440 cal, 72g protein, 5g carbs

Have a great Wednesday!!

Good morning DD2 and gang!

QOTD:  My work is very good about not pushing food on me.  They do not usually invite me to the breakfast birthdays... kind of awkward but I am grateful.  My boss was very against my surgery plans - she had lost 100 pounds with hard work and wondered (worried) why I could not try that again.  But everyone was encouraging and now that I am down quite a bit and look very different they are all excited for me.  I also nanny in the afternoons, and the kids are ALWAYS excited to see my new clothes and ask about how much I lost the previous week.  Very cute.

B:  Premier Protein chocolate with coffee

L:  Yoplait Protein mixed berry, hard boiled egg, red pepper strips

D:  Chicken parmesan

S:  babybel, cottage cheese

Totals:   639 calories 82 protein 32 carbs 18 fat

Patches ON!  I love these patches.

Good morning my friends. I hope you all slept well.

QOTD My husband sometimes can be a food pusher, but for the most part he is very sensitive to my journey.

I am also a sugar addict and It's very difficult for me to stay away from it.

I love cookies, candy, cake basically all of the above. Lol

Time since surgery 2 years

B coffee, chicken

L coffee chili

D chili

You all will be proud of me. Yesterday I walked in the horrible rain storm we had and I got drenched. If you can walk in the snow I can do this. Felt way better and less cranky. Love to you all.

E walk, V great,
