What's on your Menu Today (Photo Friday) RNYers?

If you have a smartphone you can check the steps on your phone. It also tracks sleep and some models track your heart rate. I have. One linked to my fitness pal but I would never eat more just because of my exercise. 

Good Morning & Happy Friday!

No big plans this weekend, except going to my parents on Sunday to watch the Super Bowl. I need to get caught up on laundry and cleaning; we spent last weekend painting our bedroom and not much else got done.

I also have a Fitbit HR that I love! It can very motivating! The only downside is that it seems when I push the grocery cart or stroller it doesn't seem to capture those steps - which really stinks somewhere like the zoo where there is a ton of walking! I'm interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on the Apple Watch - worth it? I keep going back and forth on wanting one...

I too had a issue last night with snacking - it's so frustrating to go 4:30 A - 9:00 P on track, and just totally fall apart at the very end of the day. It surely is a struggle for me.

Dinner is up in the air - I'm going over to my parents house after work to pick up our youngest, he's spending the day with my Dad. All I know is there will be dinner :)

No photo for me today; I can't remember how to post from a phone and I have to get to a meeting. Look forward to reading all the posts later today!

B: leftover bacon & Spinach frittata
S: beef jerky & 2 cheese wedges
L: buffalo chicken salad & celery
S: deli corned beef & thin provolone
D: TBD
S: Gouda cheese

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I know! I forgot about this and was at Marshall's and Walmart yesterday- I was so disappointed that it didn't show in my steps. If you have one that is small enough to clip on to your shoe it will still measure those steps. Or if you can hook it to your waist or put it in your pocket. I just forgot last night. 

I hear you on the funky tracking...I was watching my fitbit total on the treadmill and noticed if I held on to the bars, it didn't track as well as with my arm to my side. I also noticed when I walk the dogs if I use that hand for the leashes it doesn't track as well either - BOO!

I love my Apple watch.  It tracks steps even if you are pushing a buggy or whatever.  My kids laugh at me because I only use mine for steps and to see my calories on MFP lol.

Good to know because I really want an apple watch!

No picture today as I'm hurrying to head to the laundromat to tackle the mountain of laundry.  Post op 4 years 5 months and weight at 117 today. Lily is still a bit groggy but doing quite well. Thanks for all the love and concern guys. No walk yet but I will walk around town while the washers and dryers are doing their thing. I don't have a fitbit but my youngest son does and he loves his. I'm quite proud of him as he's lost almost 70 pounds in the last year on his own. If only I'd been a better role model back then maybe both my boys wouldn't have had weight issues but at least now I can be a good example.to them. Food today B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter added L 31/2 oz meatballs 1/2 c asparagus D 1 c ham and beans S mission one chocolate brownie protein bar.  Made it through the day with no extra bites too. While waiting for Lily to be ready to come home I did housework and walked my 3.2 miles instead of the snacking that I wanted to do. Have a great day everyone and make some smart choices that move you one step closer to your goal! 

I hear you on the role model Karen! All 3 of my kids are overweight. My husband loves to eat junk food and always has it in the house. But he has a very physical job so he never gains weight. I am responsible for their portion distortion as that's always been my issue. It's hard to encourage them and not discourage. 

Hi yall

I think in yesterdays post I talked about plans for weekend. No plans Sunday except hang at home. Will make burgers, or chili or both- not sure. Sat will be a super busy shopping day.

QOTD: I have the fitbit flex. I do really like it. Bought DH the fitbit one because he doesn't care about all the gadgets and he just drops in his pocket and walks. No biggie for him. Not sure I care about heart rate extra bells and whistles either.

SCALE MOVED today!! For the first time in forever!! yes it was only 1 pounds but dang it I really worked for it!

Today internet people are coming to upgrade to a faster connection. Hopefully it is a good decision and doesn't cause me to get dropped like it did before when I 'upgraded' to a higher speed. We will see.

OH- got a clog in the septic line yesterday and the shower backed up with you know what and it was everywhere! Carpet had to be pulled, fans brought in and now need a plumber because we couldn't unstick the line with our snakes. So annoying. We even tried the air compressor buttlets and they didn't work.

Todays menu: eggs/spinach/broc/green beans/tuna/leftover chicken cajun dish/protein waffles/coffee/more coffee/tea/other warm beverages

Pic is of Zooey- she is our latest rescue from last Feb - actually this is like her birth month celebration! She is such a sweet pup and OUR BABY!!!

She is adorable! DH won't agree to a dog and at this point in our lives he would be the primary caregiver so I defer to him. However later on I've told him I'm definitely getting one. In the meantime I live vicariously through all my friends with dogs.
