What's on your menu today (Monday) RNYers

I know I feel better than I did when I was 25 so 50 did bother me. I did pull out the picture of myself from back then.

You are amazing Em. You helped me so much when I was started out. You showed me you can eat food and not be afraid. I was terrified to eat in the beginning. Now not so much.

Here is the picture of when I was 25. I don't know what I was thinking at the time on the clothing end of it.

I know a bit photo whorish but I have to see pictures sometimes of what life was like before WLS.

Your outfit AND your friend's outfit, are classic! And look at you then and now! You are so full of life in all of your current pictures - between the awesome beach one you recently posted and now your elephant tattoo...you're kicking ass!

Happy Belated Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy belated Birthday, Susan!

Good Morning Daisy and Menu Family,

Have a wonderful time on vacation, Daisy & Arun and with Julia & John!

QOTD: I get occasional migraines. I get the vision symptoms (black spots in front of my eyes) first and if I take my prescription migraine medicine, (Amerge), right away when the visual symptoms start I can sometimes derail the migraine before it starts. I also get daily tension headaches for which I take Tylenol. I think they are a little better since surgery. I used to take aspirin daily to ward them off and I think I had rebound headaches before surgery.

Accountability: Protein - 66, Calories - 1,025, Carb - 127.

Today:

B: prosciutto & mozzarella sticks

L: Birdseye Voila cheesy chicken

D: lettuce, chicken, 1/2 avocado, low cal dressing

S: light & fit Greek yogurt

E: Walking Blossom around the subdivision

Have a FANTASTIC day everyone!

Welcome to the next week of your life! What will it hold? What adventures await? We shall see. It was a good weekend. Helped at a fund raiser garage sale all day Saturday in the 100 degree heat. Sunday was chill out and nap day. All good.

Accountability: I ate a bunch of extra fruit but still was 125 this morning so I guess I worked the fruit off.

QOTD: I rarely get migraines. When I do I know they are starting because I lose part of my vision for about 30 minutes right before they start. The first time it happened I went to the ER because I promise you when you lose part of your vision you are pretty freaked out. Now I know what is happening and I don't get too freaked out.

Menu: Trying Grape Nuts in my homemade Greek yogurt with some strawberries this morning. Tasted pretty good but not sure if it will settle well. L: Left over thin crust pizza; D: Not sure. Need to go to the store at home and tonight is D&D game so it is usually potluck pickings.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Good Morning, DAISY, and Fellow Menu Peeps!

Do I look any different?!? I turned 60, at 1:42, this morning. I think I look and feel exactly the same...Maybe because I fell apart at 40...

QOTD: Oh.My. Have been a member of the Migraine Club for >25 yrs. Currently sorta kinda controlled. Take mega dose daily Topamax and bedtime Pamelor. Neuro has tried to jack with Topamax, over the years, but we (well, ME) have decided to just leave it BE

Weekend went real eating wise, all things considered! Weight stayed the same, as last Monday

B: Coffee/2 over medium eggs

L: Summer sausage/tomatoes

D: DH taking me out for birthday - I'm picking steak house

S: won't be needed!

W: Gallon

E: Doing lots of stretches today--am very sore from overdoing some wt lifting

Happy Happy Birthday, Beautiful!!!

Enjoy your steak dinner!!!

Happy Birthday! We are almost Birthday Twins.... Mine is tomorrow... Now I am even more impressed by all your energy with the little peeps, You are only one year older than me and I can't imagine doing what you do. :)

A T-shirt for sale came across my FB feed about a month ago. It said "Queens are born in July" I think we need that!
