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

protein rolled oats would be an issue for me. I wouldn't be able to stop eating

I did a pre-measured amount in a small bowl and did fine with it - but this morning I tried some that had been made 'overnight oats' style and they were bland and icky, I couldn't finish them (partly because I was nauseated from )....this protein/fiber/miralax dance is INTENSE

Try a single prune at bedtime every other night...

I added prunes to my shopping list for tomorrow!

Last year after several visits in a row to the urgent care clinic, this old lady doctor gave me a lecture about how I was entering the "maintenance phase" of my life, and how I needed to find a more permanent doctor to manage my "upkeep". I felt like an old car. bwahaha! (but I did find a doctor!)

I'm sorry for your bad day. It's hard to get a diagnosis like that.

Giving your self shots is pretty easy and is usually way cheaper.

I'm fortunate that our insurance will cover the infusions 100%, they called me yesterday to tell me. I did ask the doctor today about which he would recommend for me. He prefers the infusions because each dose is based on my current weight, taken that day - whereas the injections are a static amount. Both should help my problem, so I'll go the infusion route for now and see how I handle it.

Morning menu folks.

Im meeting an old friend today for happy hour so I'm going to do my best to act like a mature RNYer and not like an extra in the movie Animal House.

I've been very carb conscious lately and we'll see how that pays off at my next weigh-in which I'll do in a few days. I'm going to have some shrimp ceviche today and I may have some oysters tonight. I've also been cooking up my own bunless cheeseburgers and they're delicious. Too delicious actually.

I finally found a strawberry Premiere Protein shake and lord it makes me think I'm drinking Pepto Bismol. Not good.

QOTD: Many New Yorkers have zero visible sky from their apartments but I'm lucky to have an excellent view of the western sky from my bedroom. I try and catch as many sunsets as possible. Sometimes I'll go out on my "terrace" (fire escape) and just take it all in. I find it very relaxing. Only place I'll see a sunrise is on the elevated subway platform and that means I'm headed to work early so it's not quite the same level of peacefulness but I do enjoy the dawn light.

I think sitting out on a fire escape watching the sunset in New York sounds extremely cool!

Can you tell I've been in the country too long??!

The grass is always greener.... Trust me for every fire escape sunset there's 100 other nasty moments.
