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

You are like an exercise machine my Dear! Great job.

Thanks, but look who is talking?!?! You inspire me.

I have to give all the credit to Lily--that's why she gets pup cakes on her birthday. I'd be much less dedicated if she didn't love her walks so much!

Totally agree! Karen is amazing and an inspiration!

Good morning everyone! Things progress well and I'm slowly incorporating more exercise.

Accountability - I keep eating a handful of nuts and a few this and thats at night. I've got to stop that, but thankfully it is all within profile and no more than 100 or 150 calories. But I know I don't need it, so it must end ;)

QOTD - I'm up at 3:45 MWF to go swimming and the pool I workout at has giant windows, so yes I see the sunrise on those days. It is really beautiful. Though I don't always look outside to see the sunset, but I can see it through my shades.

B - 4oz Fage 0% plain; 2 tbs pumpkin seeds; high protein cereal 1/4 cup

S - Eggwhites from 2 hardboiled eggs

L - small salad with mustard for dressing; 3.3 oz grilled chicken

S - Syntrax Ice Tea shake

D - small salad with mustard dressing; Chicken pub burger

S - popsicle SF

the grazing is a slippery slope--- it does get worse if not kept in check

nasty habit I keep fighting too, that slide into grazing.

It gets harder the farther out you get too. I've found that in my case boredom =wanting to snack.

The nuts tend to creep in volume for me over time (I eat a small amount the first day, then more the next day and so on), so I've stopped having them in the house.

What a beautiful sunrise, has to make the commute a little bit easier. Personally I see more sunsets and sunrises. Love going to the beach to see them.

How am I? I am freed from my brace. So excited. The doctor totally Doc geeked out me describing how perfectly my surgery went. Which is always good to hear. On the first follow-up I saw the PA he was not nearly as excited. And the doctor also said all my pre-surgery working out like a beast - exercise and weight lifting including bringing resistance bands to France, because the exercise physiologist said 10 days off was too long and the surgeon concurred... was paying off because I was ahead of The curve in terms of recovery.

Took my maiden voyage trying to drive post six weeks of being in a brace. PT guy said I needed to be able to put my arms over the top of the steering wheel turning, which I was able to do but honestly wasn't easy. Ended up in the Walmart parking lot which was like playing a game of whack a mole, who is going to jump in front of the car or pull out of the space without looking. I survived but realize I need to take it slow because my arm just isn't used to moving in all directions. Sore today.

B: latte fairlife/mct oil/ miralax , eggbeaters bacon cheese

L: salad w/cottage cheese, apple, blue cheese dressing

D: steak w/mushrooms and onions, spinach

S: protein drink tbd, Carbquik mug cake w/yogurt, iced coffee with premier, pb on spoon w/pecans
