What's on your Menu today (Monday) RNYers?

It isn't something I 'fixed' and move on...it comes back over time and I need to get mindful again. Accepting compliments is really hard but the value of really receiving those words is worth the work.

Side thought....At my weekend conference I saw lots of folks I know well but only see once a year and the discussions of my body, how great I look, how I look sick and need a sandwich, asking me detailed personal crap about what I weigh, how much I lost, what I eat, what happens if I eat a cupcake, etc...was a bit much.  I rolled with it mostly but at various points I just wanted to punch the next person who felt my body was their conversation privilege.

Compliments are good...accept them but sometimes it feels weird because...well..it is weird.

Something i try to work on every singe day.  I'm trying to eliminate the phrase "thank you, but . . . " from my vocabulary

Your daughter is a stunner!  I love the pic of you two in the car.  The white blouse looks awesome on you!!

The pics are great so glad you had fun!  Keep up the great work!

You are looking great!

Good Morning! We had a decent weekend. I had my hair trimmed and color touched up on Saturday and that was pretty much it since Em woke up with a nasty cold. She was feeling better yesterday so after church we went to the mall (had to return some pants) and handled the rest of the errands but other than that nothing too exciting. 

QOTD: I am def. a morning person. Usually up before my alarm goes off and I crash by 8pm-no joke!  I did work a 3p-midnight job for a few years and did fine with that too...so I guess I just adapt.  I prefer to get up early and get my exercise done, at one point I tried going to the gym after work....NO WAY! Too many people there and too many reasons during the day to get in the way.

Friday's foods:

I used to LOVE Budding beef so I was excited to buy some after WLS and now I don't like it!!! 

You can always try again in a few months, I have noticed that our taste buds can change throughout this process.

Yummy looking menu Kelly!  Tuna and hot mustard... I am going to have to try that, I love hot mustard!

I hope Em feels better soon! Give her some love from me!

Love hot mustard, I also use it to dip my carrots in.  I find it at the market (or walmart) by the regular mustard.

Yeah, she has an ortho appt this afternoon so hopefully she is doing ok at school today.
