What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

yogurt with chocolate and raspberries?   Wow!  I am so making that tonight for my evening snack!!

Good morning and happy Wednesday!! It's sunny out today which is a good thing here in CA. The devastation from the rains and clean up is unreal. Driving to work is an adventure.

JB - sorry you have to work with people like that. I'm glad you don't let those energy and time sucks get to you. 

I bought an inexpensive espresso machine and can't wait to use it! As much as I love coffee and lattes it will be better to make my own using Fairlife milk at home.  The directions seem a little complicated so I'm going to break it in this weekend. I'm sure after I run through it, I'll be fine even on busy weekday mornings. Ummm coffee :)

Today I see the Dr. for my 3 month check up. My appt. is at 3:30. Ugh, why did I do that? So much for early morning empty stomach weigh in! Then again, I'm not sure I care too much. I go by my scale anyway.

QOTD - This time of year I wear boots daily, today I have on my black suede booties. I haven't been able to wear heels for years! I thought it was my age or my ankles, but from what I've read on OH it's probably my weight (that honestly never occurred to me). I just may give them another chance down the road.

3 months since surgery

b-coffee w/heavy cream and splenda + Venti triple shot latte w/splenda from SB's (it was that kind of morning)

L-maybe LF salami and LF cheese - the SB latte fills me up for hours

D-Turkey Meatballs, SF marinara, parmesan cheese

v/l -great! almost back to all water, all day. This has made me very happy!

e-depending on weather, walking the pups or treadmill

Have a great day!!

Good morning, JB and Menu Family!  

JB-I'm sorry you have to deal with those kinds of people!  It makes a good day go sour very quickly.

QOTD: Warm today in the mid-80's (I love Texas!).  So, flip flops!!!  Please excuse my ugly feet! 

The scale is still in the downward move, so that's great!  Bad thing is....I don't want the protein today.  I want fruit and veggies, so I'm trying to incorporate some of that into the plan.

L: Hard salami, cheese stick, green grapes

Planning on doing a little running this evening, but not in these flip flops.  I wear Under Armour running shoes.

**ETA: Didn't realize how badly I need a tan!!!! 

I love our warm Texas winters and year around flip flops!! 

Good morning JB and crew!  My, my.

I have to hurry after work to a seminar - so having liquid for supper.  I may need to eat 1/2 of a protein bar during the seminar??

Good afternoon menu peeps! Busy busy busy work day for me. Uhg.

QOTD: Boots!  Still loving that I can wear knee high boots.  Such a NSV. Here is a picture... please notice that the top of the calf is too big. When I first started wearing boots I only could squeeze into the wide calf cut...now the regular cut is too wide. So weird.

Accountability: Smoking quit is going really well.  It is rough but I am feeling strong.  No smoking since the one I had yesterday morning.  On the full dose of the Chantix now and the dreaming is still vivid but not scary.  Overall, I am diggin it. Feeling good to breathe clean. Weighed in at 123.0 this morning. All good there. 

FYI...this is a new flavor Chobani I found. Holy batman!  So delicious!!

Have a great day everyone!

~E

Yes, that is one of the best Chobani flavors--like yummy candy! 

SO PROUD that you are cold turkey today!!!! You have come this far--it only gets easier!

You are doing so great!  Julia is right - it gets better and better.  I quit about 4 years ago (quit before RNY) and I can't even imagine smoking now - and TRUST ME, I loved it when I was a smoker.  I didn't think I would ever get this far.  You are going to feel so healthy and accomplished!

BTW, I never had scary dreams with Chantix, so it's not a given :)

Way to go!!!

Great news on the smoking!  I'm so proud of you!!!!  I'm also glad to hear that the dreams are just vivid and not terrorizing.  I needed to hear that today!  Here we go, girl!  We've so got this!!!!
