What's on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?
Good morning Daisy! So glad it's Wednesday, only 2 more days until the weekend! I had my normal morning routine today, drank my tea, did 30 minutes of yoga and even washed my hair today and once everyone woke up was immediately in a bad mood. Like snippy and *****y kind of foul. Not PMS, guess I'm just having a ***** day, I dunno. Funny how I can go from "fine" to cranky though that quickly when truly nothing went wrong. It's like my family was breathing. Ugh. Just keep swimming.
QOTD: Not really, I guess I'm lucky in that way. My Grannie was a total food pusher but she died well before I had surgery. I would give anything to have her back and tell me to eat whatever it was she was pushing. LOL. The rest of my family understand how vital the surgery and its outcome is to me, so they don't push. I cannot say I have any co-workers who push either, and I'm glad--I don't know that I would be strong enough to resist constantly. Recently when I had a job interview the team interviewing me had brought donuts. One lady was pushing those, and I just said "no thank you, I'm on a low carb diet." But I could tell she didn't like that. Didn't get that job either haha.
B- greek light & fit yogurt with 1 T sliced almonds ; irish tea w/fairlife milk (Which I just discovered that Fair Oaks Farms where this is produced is in Indiana--might be a good day trip this summer!)
L- 1 c chili with cheddar cheese
D- 4 oz turkey burger scrambled, cheddar, pico, guac, shredded lettuce
S- 2 oz deli turkey
Totals- Cals- 745; Protein- 84; carbs- 45; fat- 33
**I'm down with a good before and after pic fest for Friday. I love my before and after shots, they make me feel motivated, even the ones in the early stages where there wasn't that much difference!

Good Morning Daisy and Menu Family!
QOTD: No, I don't have anyone who pushes food on me other than the still existent "fat girl" inside of me who sometimes says, "Oh you can have just a taste of that." Or "Go ahead, have that cookie!" I am my own worst enemy! My daughter eats cupcakes, Reeses peanut butter cups, cookies, etc. in front of me, but if I ever cheat and have something I shouldn't she says, "BAD MOM!" Sometimes I feel it's unfair that she can eat whatever she wants and I have to stick to this strict diet, but then I remember that eating sweets and pasta and such is what got me MO in the first place and I don't want to go back there.
B: 2 eggs, sunny side up, 3 strips bacon
L: chicken & wild rice soup
D: stuffed peppers
S: Light n Fit Greek yogurt
Exercise: Walking Blossom around the subdivision. (I took her for a walk yesterday and it felt so good to be out walking after several days of being cooped up in the house due to the snow and bitter cold weather).
Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday everyone!

I am definitely my own worst enemy too! When I make dinner I will make a carb such as rice for the family to go with a meat and veggies so when I pack my lunches I will do stupid thinks like put a spoon full of rice in the my container along with my food just so I can have a taste if I want to. I usually don't eat it because I will look at it and know it isn't worth it but it makes me feel better knowing it's there! It's so weird!!!

I have done that to Rachel, I have put a carb (such as rice) on my plate and then ate my protein & veggies first and then didn't have room for the carbs and feel guilty I wasted the food but then mad at myself or even taking it then realizing I put it on my plate because I need to feel "this is mine and no one will tell me how to eat!" Such friggin mind games I play with myself! #totallymyownworstenemy
Good Morning All. We are in the ice storm as well. But temps should go up today and melt the ice so once I make it to work rest of day should be fine.
QOTD: Yes I still have food pushers! Current co-workers (who have no clue of my wls or past weight issue's). So when they push sweets/food on me I don't get upset or take it personal. But when certain family members and friends do push food it does upset me. It's not just the pushing as much as the comments they make. I often hear, "you can eat whatever and how ever much you want because you had wls"!! No matter how many times I correct them and tell them it is still a struggle, they don't believe me I guess. And forget about ever giving me credit for eating healthy and making good food choices over sweets. Oh well, they will just never understand I guess.
B: coffee
L: left over beef stew
D: steaks!!! Not sure why but I'm really looking forward to them. Husband is going to cook them on the grill. Yes we are that couple who use our grill year round :)
