What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

what is a shreddie?

Likely a Canadian thing, I'm not 100% on that though. It's a type of breakfast cereal, little squares of wheat, essentially like Chex cereal I guess. On rare occasion, I'll add a tablespoon or two of them or maybe some high fibre bran flakes to some yogurt to put some sort of texture in without breaking the bank carb-wise.

It's shredded wheat... carbs.

Good morning!

QOTD: I don't have a favorite, maybe I need to read comics more often. Edit: Wait, I forgot Gary Larsen. I love his wry/dry sense of humor.

Menu:

B-Premier protein shake

L-Poor planning and sleeping in means I am drinking a premier protein shake and eating 1/4 cup pistachios. Thank goodness I keep these items stashed at work.

D-not sure yet, probably chicken sausage

Good morning gang! No driving today for you JB, yay!!

I had an awesome thing happen yesterday. I was sharing a swim lane with another lady who was in great shape, swam beautifully and of course much faster than me. She got out of the pool about 20 minutes before me and when I got to the locker room she said "Wow, you did great! How do you swim so for so long? I get so worn out!" I was a shocked! I may be a slow swimmer, but apparently I have great endurance. I floated out of the gym on a cloud...

QOTD - I can't remember the last time I read the comics. When I was a kid, my favorite comic was Family Circus. I loved Dolly.

5 1/2 month post op

b-coffee w/heavy cream and splenda

b2-bacon

l-pulled pork

d-eggs

v/l - on track

e-pilates class

Have a great day all!

Morning everyone!

Busy at work this morning, TRYING... T.R.Y.I.N.G. to stay focused on reading/updating our Safety Manual and it's killing me!!!

I did good yesterday, but what I'm noticing is a lot more anxiety... A LOT more. I DO have a ton of things going on to bring on added stress... company was recently bought out and they are merging us with 2 other fracing companies they already own... we are all worried about our jobs. Hubs job is also in a shaky place in about a year, and he has an upcoming surgery that will put him in Austin for a month during recovery... I'll only be able to be there for a week of that. Add in teenagers, pets, and life... and Wham... Anxiety.... which clearly wants to come out in EATING...

I'm considering therapy... just dread trying to find someone that will understand not only my WLS, overeating/stress eating, but also be VERY LGBT (with an emphasis on the T) understanding, as obviously that's also a must. That was nicely boxed into a great excuse not to try, wasn't it? SMH (We have a great LGBT counselor, but she doesn't do eating disorders too)

BUT, I persevered and had a very clean day, and am really trying to buckle down and have decided to get 10-15 more pounds off before it's too late. I'll brag later once I actually feel over the hump and see the scale cooperate.

QOTD: Garfield!

Weight this morning 146.6 almost 1 year out

B: 20 ounces of decaf with half and half and Splenda

B2: 3.5 ounces of ricotta bake with ground beef and italian sausage added

D: Leftover ricotta bake or buffalo chicken dip
