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

How awesome!

Thanks! I learn from the best, which is ALL OF YOU!!! SO thank YOU!!!

You are doing such a great job!!! I do miss seeing you on here, and now I'm trying to figure out how you're already 6mo post op!!??

I used to do a body pump class,,, I can't find it offered around here at a place I can afford! **Whine**

Morning everyone! A late post for me!

qotd: just being able to do more of everything! I've always been outgoing, but the last few years as my weight really climbed, I made my world smaller and smaller. Now, not only do I say yes to pretty much anything, I'm back to being more of an instigator of activities or events. Oh and travelling. I tried hard to avoid planes the last few years. I can't wait to head to Europe in the fall (to see family and hopefully do some side trips)!

Menu:

full disclosure: I've been struggling with cravings and head hunger ever since I started adding snacks to my day. It has me thinking about food way too much. I haven't gone off plan or anything, it's just something I need to deal with before I do. I think instead of yogurt or veggies and cheese, I'm going to cook more meat as snacks or mini meals and try that for a couple of days and see if that helps. The whole reason I was adding snacks is because a bit of hunger has started to return, and my bloodwork indicated my blood sugar was on the low side, and the dietician suggest I spread my food out a bit more...

any suggestions are Welcome!

B: premiere protein shake

S1: 1 ounce leftover kofta with 1/4 cup cauli rice as a tortilla

L: shrimp with peppers

S2: more shrimp

D: pork tenderloin with roast veg.

have a great day everyone!

Morning everyone!

Last night was the silent auction at our high school for a fundraising thing our community does every year. I ended up winning TWO baskets, one being in a bidding war with the Superintendent... at the end, I was winning, and he walked up and bid again... my mouth just opened all on it's own, and out came "OMG, really?! You're killing me!"... I had no idea it was the coveted Superintendent until he turned around to see who in the hell was yelling at him... Then he seemed a bit put off after we talked that I didn't know who he was prior... THEN... I turned around with 5 seconds left to bid, and outbid him!! I am now the proud owner of a TON of stuff, but the most important thing is the TWO... TWO new pair of Maui Jim Sunglasses!!!! Superintendent lost. Hmph. ($155.00 winning bid) I lost my mind last night folks... Does anyone need any small chores done around their house for a little extra cash??!

QOTD: I got hubs 2 tickets to the River rapids complex they built in downtown a couple of years ago. I would NEVER have gone down those rapids at 260 pounds... NOW, I'm ready to go do it all, including the ziplining across the river! I am planning to take the kids hiking one day next week during their Spring Break, doing the Rugged Maniac 5K Obstacle run in April, along with the 5K wine run 2 weeks prior to that... I'm much more active. My goal is to start having experiences as much as possible!

B: 2 decaf cups of coffee with powdered creamer and SF syrup

B2: 4oz of chili, no beans, just sweet, sweet meat and seasonings!

L: There are 2 more freezer suprises left. Either jambalaya or ricotta bake with meats

D: I forgot to take something out. I need to text Hubs and have him pull something. Protein forward!

I made it through yesterday with nothing crossing my mouth that wasn't protein forward! Yay!

Weight this morning 150.4

Exercise... been slacking on that, but should make it to the gym today at lunch

The silent auction battle sounds fun!

I was seriously wayyyyy too involved... I could feel my heart rate rise as the time ended

I am a veteran of many school auctions. I love that prowling around the tables. Congrats on your score.

lol at freezer surprises

i made gizzards with that buffalo chicken mix

OMG... I forgot all about trying that out!!! I'm getting gizzards next time I'm at the store!

How did they turn out with the buffalo sauce? I'm thinking since I mine breaded and fried, I'm going to just season them with the holy trinity in my kitchen... salt, pepper, and garlic If I like the consistency of them, maybe I'll get more inventive the next time!
