What's on your Menu today (Monday) RNYers?
QOTD: I am definitely more of a night person. I worked nights for 11 years before I switched to the job I currently have. I have been working at my job now for 4 years and it is rotating shifts. I work a two week schedule, but it constantly rotates.
Week 1: I work Monday and Tueday (nights 7 PM - 7 AM) then I work Friday, Saturday and Sunday (days 7 AM - 7 PM).
Week 2: I work only Wednesday and Thursday (nights 7 PM - 7 AM)
The next week would then be Monday and Tuesday but would be days etc.. So after every time I get days off, I switch shifts. Crazy shift...but it pays well. I like working days better, but I don't like mornings...lol. I have to get up by 3:30 and leave my house by 4:30. I carpool with a friend who works the same schedule but her hours are 6 to 6 and it takes about an hour to get to work.
Today's menu:
Breakfast - Turkey stick and string cheese
Lunch - protein shake w/ fair life fat free milk
Snack - Greek yogurt
Dinner - last of my Mock Spanish Rice
Snack- Turkey and string cheese
Calories - 768, Protein - 96, Carbs - 42, Fat - 23

Good day, Menu Family! It was a super crazy weekend for us! I'm sorry I didn't get to post on Thursday or Friday for AMAW/CAMAW, but I did a fantastic job not eating anything that wasn't on plan. I started the week at 209 and was at 205 by Thursday morning. I've kinda stayed there since, but most of that is water weight, thanks to Aunt Flo! Ugh! Stock show went really well, and DD got her little pig into the premium sale. The sale is just a donation, and you get to keep your animal, but you get the $ too. It really helps when it's time to buy new pigs. We put the $ into a savings account, and draw out what we need when it's time to go shopping for new animals for the next show season.
QOTD: I'm both. I do alright getting up around 5 or 5:30 every morning, and I am usually up until 11 or so if I sit down to watch TV. I wish I could go to be earlier, but it's just not in my nature. I don't really talk a whole lot during the mornings, though, which drives DH crazy. He's a go-getter, bright eyed, bushy tailed, and that drives me nuts! LOL
Time since RNY: 8 weeks!
Weight this morning: 205 lbs.
B: Cottage Cheese, 4 pork rinds
S: Zero Cal Pink Lemonade
L: Hard Salami Panino
S: Lemonade (I ran out the door this morning because the kids reported that we had a pig that wasn't eating...so, I just threw some stuff in my lunch bag and ran to the barn as soon as I was all ready for work....poor girl, she's a little stressed, but I think she's doing alright.)
D: Steak, A.1.
L/V: on track
E: I haven't had a day off of exercise in five days, so just regular barn chores, then rest. I am one sore Mama.
S: Jerky, String Cheese
Have a great week, folks!
ETA this** While at our stock show this weekend, I spotted my dad across the show barn. I was waving at him as to say, "hey, Dad! Here we are!" I finally had to walk across the barn to talk to him....little while later, my mother divulged this little tidbit: Your dad made a comment about how much you have lost: "It's pretty bad when you don't even recognize your own damn kid! I sure was wondering why that crazy lady was waving so big at me!" LOLOL Love him to pieces. Made my heart happy to hear this on the day that I reached 80 pounds down!

Hi Daisy and menu friends, it's 3 in the afternoon and I'm just posting now. I've been avoiding it cause I'm totally ashamed of my eating this weekend. The thing is I knew exactly what I was doing and I was so sneaky about it. The only person I was hurting was myself. And I was really hurting in pain and did it a few times. Like what the heck is wrong with my head. I was so happy with myself on Friday, felt like was back on track. So far today I've stayed focused and on plan but sneaky thoughts are creeping in my head. So I'm plugging away and thought even though it's late coming here would give me some accountability.
QOTD : I've been off work for a few years due to health reasons, before that I've always worked midnights. I've always preferred it and managed very well. I'm hoping to go back to work soon, it will be interesting trying to get turned around again.

Good Evening!
Late again. I really hate having to earn my pay. LOL
Today was a super busy but good day. Just home from the gym-managed to get 2 classes in. Feels good to be getting back in control!
QOTD: I'm a night person. 100%. I am the same as you Daisy. I do my best housework in the evening. I'm just better in the night. Hmm...that sounds a little dirty in my head. hehehe. I'm only a morning person for work. Oh to win the lotto and retire!! :)
My menu today was a little over the place. Basically I hauled things out of the freezer and ate that. BUT I'm cooking up a storm here now for the rest of the week.
Breakfast: 2 protein bites (homemade) Tea with Restoralax
Snack: Half a protein shake
Lunch: 1 cup of homemade chili
Snack: Budwig deli meat pack. Turkey
Supper: Currently making pork lion, so will have some for lunch tomorrow as well.
Working again tomorrow night-so trying to plan something for supper. I'm really trying to stick to CAMAW. I loved how I felt and I need to keep the weight loss going!
Hope everyone had a great day!
