what's on your menu today (Tuesday) RNYers?

I am so sorry to hear this. Hugs, prayers & positive thoughts your way!

That's just wrong JB! Thoughts and prayers going out to everyone.

So heartbreaking and a sad statement how gun violence seems commonplace. Prayers to this child and his family...

This is heartbreaking.

Morning!

yeah the shift in weather has been jarring!

I've been on my own since Thursday, and the Mr. comes home today. I'm really looking forward to it. I was due for some alone time, but the novelty has worn off, and I feel like Kevin McAllister, being a kid, but acting all adulty. House is clean, groceries done, meal prep done.... whereas I thought I'd just hang out in my underwear watching terrible TV...

all the grocery store talk yesterday, and I forgot to mention, we just signed up for a few amazon subscriptions, so I'm interested to see how that goes. Things like vitamins, decaf coffee, restorlax etc. well, I guess by we, I mean me. Not much for hubby in that list, lol.

im liking the accountability idea. Here's yesterday's stats:

Calories: 681, protein 93 and carbs 19

the only change in the plan was I had a 1/2 vanilla premiere protein blended with 1/2 cup of strawberries In the evening.

menu:

B: premiere protein

L: 2.5oz taco beef with chopped tomato and green onion

D: 3oz of chicken sate with a tablespoon of peanut sauce

S: 75g of skyr with a few strawberries

S2: prob the other half of that shake with berries again

have a good one!

Good morning all!! Hazy, Hot and Humid with air quality alerts. :(

Accountability, I like it!! Right now i'm fresh off my meat week revelation of BLT during family meal prep, so I stuck to plan. I decided to chew gum while preparing so my mouth would be "busy". Yesterday's totals Cal: 753 Prot: 117 Carb: 17

9+ months post-op

B: coffee w/ Vanilla PP , Pepperoni w/ Low fat cheese

L: tuna w/ low fat mayo

D:"taco" seasoned ground beef, Low fat sharp cheddar, salsa, No fat greek yogurt

S: no fat greek yogurt, sf hazelnut syrup

Cal:738 Prot: 95 Carb: 18

Chewing gum during meal prep is a great idea! Thanks for the idea! I might try!

Good morning menu folks. It's very hot and humid here in MD and I don't plan to do an outdoors walk today. I do plan to do a couple of short indoor walks and tonight is deep water aerobics, so I'll still get in some exercise.

Breakfast: hard boiled egg, turkey bacon

Snack: Ice Tea protein shakd

Lunch: TJ's Balsamic chicken

Snack: TJ's chicken salad, string cheese

Dinner: turkey breast

Ugh night snacking used to be the death of me. Now it hasn't been a real issue at all and even I'm impressed by how long my box of high protein Special K has been sitting on the top of the fridge. But, I'm practically a RNY newborn so I need to be mindful of the degree of difficulty there and heed the words of "my elders" Even just an extra 100 calories a day adds up to 10 lbs a year. Adding 400 after dinner (something I did all the time) is playing Russian Roulette with a loaded pistol. Thanks for sharing this.

This is very hard for me 16 months out. It gets worse the longer out you are... At least in my experience.
