What's on your Menu today (Thursday) RNYers?

THANKS!

Good morning. We made a lot of progress yesterday- my mom came over and I was amazed how much we got done. Sad too that she couldn't stay longer. We get keys tomorrow!! I'm very excited and overwhelmed at the same time. Started the day off with an argument over something dumb with hubby and haven't been too productive as yet. As soon as I'm done this post I'm getting right back st it. I'm also doing mom chauffeur duty today because the 2 older kids have exams.

Did well yesterday with eating. Was under my calorie goal but still managed to get all my protein in. Today I'm feeling "meh" about food. I'm bored with my food choices so after THE MOVE I will have to start getting more creative.

As far as the QOTD goes, it's always been potato chips or chip truck fries or pouring for me but I haven't had anything off plan since surgery so not sure what it will be going forward. Maybe I won't ever find out lol. I'd like to assume I will dump if I eat anything not good for me. Daisy, there are few sweets that appeal to me but buttercream vanilla birthday cake (any flavour except chocolate really) would be one, and almost anything lemon. Even now, any lemon desserts can really test my will power.

Hope you and Amy are feeling better soon!!

menu:

B: protein shake

L: Capocollo and cheese

D: BBQ chicken

E: packing, packing and more packing

Finally down a lb today but not down to my lowest weight yet. 208.2- lowest weight was last week 207.1- I am now lower than I was when I got married- 21 years and 3 pregnancies ago

Have a great day everyone.

Hello everyone!!!

Feels like a lifetime since I posted, yet I know it's only been less than a week! We arrived back from Playa Del Carmen yesterday, and had a long day of travel. We all had a great time there, even if we only got ONE day of sunshine (thank you (NOT) Tropical Storm Cindy)... but we played in the rain, and made it on our excursion of snorkeling, zip lining, and repelling, as well as a quick tour in Tulum of the Maya Ruins (I would have loved more time there, but neither the weather, nor the tour guide cooperated with that. Hmph.

So I weighed in last Friday at 137.something... and this morning I was 138.8. A bit of a gain, but not too disappointed as I know I didn't eat on plan, drank too many mojitos, and not enough water. Hopefully that weight won't get higher in the days to come (it seems it takes my body several days to catch up with whatever I do).

Back on plan today, even if there is NO food in my house! Will get to shopping sooner than later I hope. We also arrived home to a house guest who is staying with us until Friday... Sigh.

Weight this morning... 138.8. 13 months out from surgery...

B: 3 ounce cheeseburger plus 24 ounces of decaf with half and half

L: 3.7 ounces of ground beef/black beans/roasted corn stuff I made last night quickly after we got home, it is good!

S: Nothing here with me... sigh (may go get some jerky at lunch to have)

D: Going out to this new BACON restaurant with our house guest... I plan on making it protein/bacon heavy! LOL

S: Maybe I'll get my beloved latte in tonight - oh how I have missed thee (I was able to have several on vacation, but not like home)

Did you ever get on that wooden horse?

My son got up with the help of my daughter (who was the one that reallllly wanted up there!)... I had no intentions of ever getting up there though! That thing was probably 8' off the ground! LOLOL

Did u wear your bikini?

I did! And I felt just fine in it too! I posted a pic over on the FB OH board... I'll post some pics here when I get a chance to breath at work... which could be a while... sigh.

Good for you! Where is the "FB OH Board"?

That's a fluctuation not to gain go you! Glad you had a great time

Ugh, my post was eaten!!! Second verse, same as the first... Good morning! Daisy, I hope you both feel better soon :(. I'm feeling pretty good, I have energy, I'm working out and I'm sleeping well but I'm exhausted emotionally. Hoping things settle down more in the weeks to come.

Accountability - I had a couple little handfuls of walnuts while lamenting to BF about life...I didn't even realize what I was doing... I need to throw them away. I am the only one who likes them anyway and they are dangerous. I will be sure to cover them in dish soap first, yeah, I said that. I'm sure you know why.

QOTD - yay! I've missed this! My favorite dessert without question is Ben and Jerry's ice cream. My slippery slope item would be tortilla chips - plain, w/salsa, guacamole, queso, beans...as a scoop for anything really. I can't stop until I am sick - they are that dangerous for me. I like the fresh chips best and would always heat them up in the oven first. I will be dreaming about this all day!
