What's on your menu today (Thursday) RNYers?
Hi,
I live in Roswell which is north of ATL. The ATL aquarium is one of the best in the US. If you want to meet a fellow OH person, I would be happy to give you the night tour of historic Roswell, the galleries, mills, shopping and restaurants. This would depend on how long you are staying post wedding. :) This would require a meetup and I could drive you back to your hotel. There are also great walking paths like the Chattahoochie River Nature Center.

Good morning menu folks! It is another sunny day here, hot and humid.
QOTD: I am surprised at how well I am doing without carbs (other than green veggies). I expected that it would be more difficult and I anticipate that thing will change in maintenance and that I will struggle more. I do struggle to get in all of my vitamins, particularly the calcium. It just hasn't become natural yet to take it several times a day.
Breakfast: scrambled eggs, 2 pieces turkey bacon
Snack: Lemonade protein shake
Lunch: TJ's Balsamic chicken, 8 grape tomatoes, cucumbers
Snack:2 oz turkey breast
Dinner: TJ's salmon burger, cauliflower
Exercise: short walk, deep water aerobics
HW: 248+, SW (RNY: 2/28/17): 244, GW (10/17): 125; LW: 115; 45# regain (19-20); CW: 135.6; new goal: 135; Plastics: Ext mastopexy, Ext abdominoplasty-5/18/2018; diagnosed w/ gastroparesis 11/20.
Good morning everyone.
QOTD: Drinking (water and zero or very low cal beverages, i.e. diet iced tea, flavored water) and daily weighing. Not everyone can handle the daily weigh-in, but I need it to keep me accountable.
Accountability: Doing good this week - have gotten rid of the (probable) water weight I gained over the weekend. No one gains 5 lbs. in 2 days, right? I was off-plan over the weekend, but not to that degree.
B: Protein Coffee
L: small tossed salad topped with tuna creations ranch
S: Greek LnF yogurt crunch (probably not the best choice, but it was free)
D: Not sure - going to a co-workers retirement picnic - will make wise choices
E: 60+ minutes on the stationary bike

I used to keep an Excel sheet with my weight-ins I entered the weight every day (or it would carry over from the previous) and it placed a large bold number in a big cell that gave me my three day average and a trend (down or up arrow). This way the five pounds here or there never was as extreme so I wasn't as reactive either way. I mean I KNEW the number on the scale in the morning, but I learned to only react to the three day average and the trend. Even then, most trend UPs were due to water or uhm... that other biproduct of food.
Now I weigh in at work twice a week as part of our wellness program. I weigh in and check my blood pressure. I also use the scale I keep at my Apt back in Akron for weekend weigh-ins, that scale has a hand held bar that gives a good guesstimate (that was actually in my spell check - how funny!) of my body fat% and muscle% so I can see trends there. Generally when I'm in a "stall" it shows lower body fat% and or increased muscle% which makes those two week stalls far more tolerable!

QotD: like you, I've gotten really used to logging everything in MFP. Being obsessed with maintaining my streak helps! Ha! I still struggle with dragging my butt to the gym after work.
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with PB2
lunch: tuna packet, dill pickle spear
snack: cottage cheese, 5 salami slices
dinner: grilled chicken breast, spinach salad
been struggling with water, so goal is 100oz.
Back home from the state park again. Beautiful summer weather here in central Illinois. Lily and I did 3.7 miles already this morning and will do at least another mile after supper. Post op 4 years 11 months and weight at 118 today. Did good staying on plan yesterday. QOTD I do good with most healthy habits but I've had 5 years to practice. By this point it's all routine but I'm sure is key to my success just like posting here daily when able. Here's the food plan for maintenance today B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter added L 4 oz crab salad 3 bites of broccoli if room D 31/2 oz salmon 1/2 c green beans S sm apple with 1 T peanut butter. Have a great day everyone and make some smart and conscious choices that move you one step closer to your goals! Practice those healthy habits too!
