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

Good Tuesday morning people! How is everyone? Its going to be hot & humid & sunny today here, a good day to stay in the A/C at work!

Accountability: I didn't eat lunch, got crazy busy at work so I had two extra cheese strings and and extra serving of raspberries on my way home the gym, I was hungry! But other than that I stayed on plan.

QOTD: Do you drink sports drinks or things like Vitamin Water? Last night in my rush to get out to the gym I forgot my water bottle so I ran into a convenience store and grabbed a Vitamin water (strawberry kiwi). I avoid Gatorade as it gives me headaches. I was hoping that this was different, nope! I have a brutal headache today that I am going to try and drown it out with decaf coffee today LOL mmmmm coffee

3.8 yrs post op RNY - maintenance

B: a few decaf with 1 vanilla PP used as creamer then tuna/peppers/balsamic

L: Greek chicken skewer (take out from work) with tzatziki

S: 2 cheese strings

D: 5oz of bbq'd chicken breast + A1 sauce

S: 1 deviled egg (made them last night!)

TOTALS: 934 calories, 116 protein, 22 carbs

V: patches are on

L: lots of decaf & water with diet cranberry

E: 2nd night of torture... 60 mins step class then 60 mins of muscle pump!!! Walk the dogs later in the evening if it cools down enough

Have an awesome day everyone, be fabulous! Photo Friday is "before & afters"

Morning!

qotd: nope, never really liked them, so I've always avoided. I was looking for flavoured water once at gas station and looked at vitamin water. I couldn't get past the calories, at least at this stage for me.

accountability: busy day yesterday, so I didn't eat my lunch, just the yogurt and fruit. Dinner was a sad bowl of ground beef.

menu:

B: premiere protein

L: Can of Thai tuna with 1/2 oz of cream cheese

S: skyr with berries

D: chicken breast dome somehow.

have a good one!

Good morning! It is supposed to be humid here too (chance of showers). I'm WFH, so the AC here may need to go on.

QOTD: I'll drink low or no-cal vitamin waters in a pinch because I don't like plain water much. However my preference is crystal light lemonade. I usually use the full- size packets (not the 16 oz bottle size) to flavor bottles of water (over time I just sort of know how much to pour).

Accountability: Good, but I'm up 1.5 pounds. I hate when my weight is up but I stayed on plan. Maybe a delayed reaction to weekend eating or water retention?

15.5 months post-op, in maintenance:

B: eggbeaters and cottage cheese

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: lamb kabobs or shrimp (depends on weather and energy)

S: cheese sticks, yogurt

I seem to be a delayed reaction kinda gal... I can be not so good for days before it shows up on the scale... and it the same way, it takes upwards of a week for the scale to catch up to me being 'perfect' as well...

I really hate that.

Yes really! The nerve of that scale!

Good Tuesday morning menu folks! It's another hot and humid day here too, so no outdoor walking for me today. I plan to head to the gym over lunch and ride the bike for a while. I also hope to get in some pool time this evening. I don't particularly like the hot and humid days, but I am determined to get in my exercise anyway.

QOTD: I drink PowerAde Zero after I exercise hard. Other than that I'm not a sports drink fan.

Breakfast: hard boiled egg, 2 pieces turkey bacon

Snack: Ice Tea protein shake

Lunch: TJ's Vera Cruz swai

Snack: 2 oz turkey breast

Dinner: Turkey

Exercise: short walk, 45 minutes in the gym

Today I made a bowl of tuna fish with eggs greek yogurt,and pickles I had that for 3 meals.

Also had cold brew with milk and the dangerous to me Trader Joe's baked cheese. I'm not buying them anymore.

I don't drink plain water. I have no caloric choices that I cycle through. Presently it's wea****d tea with a bit of spends and tons of ice.

Baked cheese sounds fabulous...it's probably a REAL good thing there's no Trader Joe's down here, in my hood

The TJ baked cheese? A bag is a singleserving I don't care what they say. So if I open that bag I know I'm eating the whole thing. End of story.

I can make the TJs cheese crisp things last 2 servings at most. Those crunchy little suckers are addicting. There's a bag in my desk drawer right now.
