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

Wow.  Salt and salt shakers AND meat sticks.  Generous honey.

I need to "de-Christmas" too, just procrastinating...

I get the SAME thing when hubby and I go to his cousins place, they cycle through the drink options like 5 times, "what can I get you Daisy, wine, beer, juice, pop?" I say "water" and they say "you can't have jus****er"  and then they start to list the types of pop & juice they have "how about coke, gingerale, sprite, rootbeer, No? Okay how about "orange juice, apple juice, mango juice?"  I just roll my eyes a few hundred times until they get the hint and go and get my own water! LOL LOL

Love your LOTR ref, good one!!!

Did you post the recipe for your shepherds pie and I missed it?  If not can you post it for us?

Glad you are in for photo Friday!!

Are bran buds the same as bran flakes?

UGH - ICE!  Temp was above freezing so thank goodness DH warned me that our steps and driveway were a sheet of ice.  Otherwise I'm sure I would have flown out the door and went straight down on my butt.  It's supposed to be almost 60 by tomorrow.  Crazy weather!

QOTD:  No food pushers so far.  Everyone has been very supportive.  Sister-in-law came close but she was well meaning.  She had us over for dinner the other night and was so concerned she would have something for me to eat.  She had shrimp, rice and salad.  Shrimp & a bit of salad was great, but she had a hard time believing I had enough food.  They had ice cream for dessert and she was sweet enough to offer me Greek yogurt, but I honestly didn't have room or want it.

B:  Decaf coffee w/GNC vanilla cream protein 

L:  can of tuna w/SF relish and 2T mayo

S:  Premier Protein Carmel

D:  Either steak of pork chops.  DH usually starts dinner so I'll see what he chooses.

E:  60+ minutes on the stationary bike.  I was up early so I rode until What Not to Wear was over.  The timer on my machine shuts off at 60 minutes :).

Pouring rain and in the mid 40's here today!  Heat wave!!!

No real food pushers here, thank god!

ttfan, I really like the lite & fit yogurt too but I noticed that they don't have acidophilus in the ingredients list which helps with digestion. I can use all the help I can get in that area. I'm really trying not to take any stool softeners or laxatives if possible. I do miss all of their good flavors though. I see they now have chocolate cherry! Maybe I'll switch on and off.    

Girl you need a coffee IV drip and so do I!!!!

OK today so far, been stressed out at work and not having enough time to do my work has not been fun. I've been working in spurts, then taking stretching breaks throughout the day to help with calming my mind. Been trying this new app on phone called focus@will what I got free for 3 months on amazon. It's pretty cool, you set a timer and choose the type of music and pace and it forces you to concentrate for that period of time. It actually works and also helps with people that have ADHD.

Scale still stuck at 125.6 today.

QOTD: Yes, after my surgery my boss sent me cookies in the mail as a get well, then another time soups with crackers in them. It is like sending a package of crack to a crackhead. This christmas was not much better, cheryl's sugar cookies and a subway gift card. At least subway has mean in all that damn bread. I gave the soups (too many carbs) and crackers to my neighbor and cookies the DH cookie monster ate them.

Stats yesterday were about 850 calories/85 prot/63 carbs (this was due to the yasso bar I ate and 1/2 quest bar made into cookies last night because I wanted chocolate brownies and ice cream and this was a fairly legit substitute) Did about 30 min of yoga though didn't do a video just made up my own.

Today is: decaf/miralax/coconut milk/CM milk

something really good for breakfast but I don't quite know what - maybe no oat oatmeal might be nice

L: leftover chicken veg soup or turkey sloppy joes from last night

S: chicken pot pit (just the pot not the pie- lol)

E: yoga series startup - haven't decided which yet, might focus on my weak poses to improve.

That is what I got at Christmas an assortment of Cheryl's cookies.... ugh...

mine were the crappy sugar cookies with frosting on top- not my fav- if it was choc chip, i might have had to eat some

They looked good, but I have never had a Cheryl's cookie, and plan on keeping it that way, did not even break open one of those babies...
