What's on your Menu today (Photo Friday) RNYers?

Friday, yay, yay, yay! So looking forward to this weekend. I don't have any specific plans just a few errands, Costco, that kind of thing and I love it. What are you all up to? We had a brutal storm last night, thunder, lightening, teeming rain, it was epic. I don't mind storms while I am sleeping thank you very much!

Accountability: Got a last minute appt with the Vet so dinner was 2 baby bel and a generous handful of trail mix in the car on the way to take my dog to the Vet (Vet is "stumped" by the way as to why Amy is vomiting, did a full blood work panel on her & I call today to get results and get this, they gave her Omeprazole in case she has acid reflux, I literally LOL'd when the Vet said that.) So I didn't eat my deli roll ups for dinner and had babybel and trail mix & an extra vanilla PP in decaf in the evening (ummm trail mix is too easy to just eat & eat & eat!). So stats was 910 calories, 117 protein, 35 carbs and ended up being 1124 calories, 132 protein, 56 carbs.

QOTD: Who did you bring with you on your day of surgery and what is the last thing you remember before you went under anesthesia? I had my husband with me, I had an early morning surgery at 8am and there is this long ass hallway that is painted gross puke green that I had to walk down with the RN to get to the OR, it was cold & creepy, and I felt like I was walking the "Green Mile." I remember the last thing I said to the Anesthetist was something to the effect of "If I wake up puking I am going to hunt you down." I get VERY sick from anesthesia and was determined to not wake up puking my newly operated on guts out as I have from every other surgery I have had in the past! And then next thing I knew I was being shaken awake in POCU by a lovely RN! And here I am almost 4 years later!

PHOTO FRIDAY - post a pic of your fav thing you did last summer! Last summer hubby and I met JB & Grim and had the best time ever, Red Sox game, shopping, visiting Mansions in Newport RI, it was amazing. Here is a collage of some of our outings. JB & Grim are as amazing in real life as they are on OH!

Hey you stole all the pics I was going to post! Having you guys here last summer was definitely the highlight! Can't wait to do it again :) Here are some of those pics, along with our awesome trip to Martha's Vineyard and a fancy Polo Match :)

23 months post op / 119lbs today (BOO!) / maintenance diet

QOTD: My mom and BFF were there when I was wheeled in, but no one was there when I woke up. It was a super busy work deadline for my friend, and my mom was hosting some important guests from out of town, so I ended up on my own. I think my mom drive me home, but I was definitely on my own for the week to care for myself. Turned out to be okay.

Accountability: Yay! Good day. I was too busy and hot to eat most of what I brought so I decided to run with my small pouch day and not eat much.

B: Fit Frappe & Iced Coffee & Chili Lime Chicken Burger

S: Babybel Cheese

L: Shredded Chicken Breast & Everything Bagel Spice

D: Meatballs and Small Salad

Vitamins: Patches on

Exercise: GASP... I packed a gym bag! No running yet, but I am going to test the waters and see how a walk on the treadmill feels.

Great pictures, Julia! You and John are SO cute together and so are you and Daisy!

Don't you just love a small pouch day? You definitely got a run with them when they come. Because we all know they do not last LOL.

My favorite pic is the one of the two of you in the hat set up just love that

Great pics! So much happy.

I love those white hats!!

Great pics Daisy!

Good morning menu folks! It's rainy here so it looks like it will be a gym day rather than a walk day. I don't mind that, but it would be nice to get out on the trails today.

Accountability: my total calories were up a bit because I had salmon rather than swai for dinner last night. Still within reason and the scales was down .6 pounds.

QOTD: On surgery day, I had my wife and a good friend who went through the surgery several months ahead of me. They were both there when I went under and soon after I woke up. It was nice to have my support team right there for me.

Breakfast: ham

Snack: Fuzzy Navel protein shake

Lunch: TJ's Lemon grilled chicken

Snack: turkey breast

Dinner: shrimp, broccoli

Exercise: 45 minutes on the treadmill or bike at the gym

Hey DD2! That's so funny about the doggie gerd. Not funny for Amy, but weird. I hope she's better.

QOTD: All I brought to surgery was my phone and charger, and the clothes on my back. I had no need for anything else, and just wouldn't have used it. And the last thing I said to my surgeon before they put me under was asking him to make all the little incisions look like bullet holes. And add a couple in the back. You know, for through-and-throughs. Chicks would have really loved the bullet scars, right. He wouldn't go for it though.

Here's a pic from a local ballgame last week. It's JB and her dad for Father's Day. If you didn't already guess, it was Princess and Pirates night.

Didn't I tell you I needed to photoshop my hair!?!? Yikes! The internet did not need to see that...sorry everyone!
