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

Hope you guys are all feeling better, soon! I have to say, I had been feeling really run down and tired since my move, which I attributed to the stress. But over the last two weeks, I decided to QUADRUPLE my vitamin intake and I am seeing a huge difference in my energy level. For the first time last week, there was a day that I didn't feel exhausted and it felt so nice! I had forgotten that is possible.

Work has been really busy/active this week. I am the one who puts out fires (sometimes literally--we had a student try to commit arson on Monday), and there has been a dizzying amount of challenging student behaviors across our schools, recently. Last night I dreamed that I was an administrator at Hogwarts and was so freaked out that now I had to contend with kids who use magic, too! Hahaha. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for an uneventful day, okay?

QOTD: Yes to everything everyone already said! I am finally comfortable knowing that people don't see me as a fat girl when they meet me for the first time, but I cannot wrap my head around the size I wear. Like many of you, I grab a size or two bigger because I just can't imagine... My mom bought me this super cute dress that was sized XS and I kept looking a the waist and thinking NO WAY. But it was perfect. Actually even a little big across the chest and shoulders. Huh? I was almost too scared to try it on. If I was the one choosing it off the rack, I would have picked a M, first, for sure. 

B: Fit Frappe Coffee and Sargento Balanced Break

S: Greek Yogurt

L: Chef's Salad with Ranch Dressing

S: Power Crunch Bar

D: MEAT!

NO.DRAMA.TODAY!!

I want to be at Hogwarts!  Once you become administrator can you please send an owl with application to teach Muggle Studies?  I'm highly qualified and motivated!!

You are my top choice :)

Yup. That dress was perfect.

I love your teaching at Hogwarts dream.  That is the best stress dream I've ever heard of.  And you look amazing in that dress!  Gorgeous!!

Good Morning Daisy and Menu Family!

I hope you and Arun get to feeling better really soon, Daisy!

QOTD:  When I was in high school I was anorexic and I thought I was fat at 120 lbs and wanted to get down to 115 lbs.  (5'9").  When I was MO I don't think I realized just how fat I really was until I would see a photo of myself and then it was like "OMG, is that really how I look!?"  Now I feel pretty good with the weight I have lost, but I still need to lose more to get to my goal and to feel my best.  Sometimes I forget that I'm smaller now, like when I walk between a small space between furniture and am surprised that I can fit between them.  

B:  grits w/ melted cheese

L:  chicken & wild rice soup

D:  chili cheese dog

S:  Light n Fit Greek yogurt

Exercise:  Exercise bike

Have a great day everyone!

I forgot about that! I do have a spatial disconnect with my size already. If I walk into a restaurant and realize the chairs have arms, or a booth where the table isn't movable  I have a mini melt down in my head. Then, I just sit and I'm fine hahaha.

What are grits Karen? I've heard of them on tv but don't know what they are.

Grits are a hot cereal made of ground corn, Lizz.  It is typically a Southern dish.  I love them with cheese on top.
