What's on your Thursday menu RNYers? AMAW/CAMAW Day 4

It's the nectar of the Gods, Amy Liz!

Coffee, coffee, coffee - oh how I love it! I mentioned that to someone recently and they went into a discussion of how they have recently detoxed from coffee/caffeine, as if I might want to as well. I told her that unless I'm having problems from it (I'm not), this is one craving I'm happy to have!

I hear you Liz! Coffee is the only thing I missed from my pre-op days. I'm so glad to be able to enjoy it again, albeit in limited amountsl

Hello Meaty Friends!

QOTD: I would either take a nap, play games on my ipad or read things on this page. I love down time and I never have enough. I love that time alone to just do whatever feels needed at the time. I used to look forward to what I could eat during that time and filling it with others can be a challenge but I'm slowly learning.

Accountability: All was good yesterday and I followed the plan well.

12.5 months out, 125.2lb today, CAMAW maintence diet

B: coffee with premier protein and sf torani

S: volpi roll and two babybel

L: Turkey and babybel

S: Prosciutto and mozz, protein hot chocolate

D: Sirloin Steak

calories 1001, protein 145, carbs 6, fat 41

Good morning! We have a little sun today and it's warming into the 60's, yea! I have an apt with my Nurse Practitioner today, we are going to discuss hormone options. As soon as I turned 51 the menopause symptom**** really hard. Instead of getting better, it's just gotten worse in the last 6 months. The hot flashes and the mood swings are a daily occurrence. I'm look forward to what she has to say.

QOTD-Catch up on some DVR'd shows, crochet or play solitaire on my tablet

Day 4 of CAMAW-100% accountability

B-Plain Greek yogurt w/2tsp SF lemon pudding mix

L-Scrambled eggs with jack cheese

S-Chai tea w/vanilla protein shake

D-Ground beef(from bottom of tater tot casserole) and more cottage cheese

W/V-on track

E-Walk the dog(taking a trail that is mostly up hill today)

Hope the NP was able to help you out.

Thank you Teena, I'm starting out on a low dose hormone tonight. I hope it helps too!

Hi guys,

Well, I'm out of CAMAW, but still eating pretty low carb. The challenge was bringing back too many pre op feelings of anxiety about dieting. So, I'm back to eating my raspberries, lol.

QOTD: I'd read or catch up on social media. I'm lucky that I have lots of free time :-).

Accountability: went off CAMAW but still ate healthy and kept carbs low (38 total carbs, or 22 net carbs).

Menu today:

Breakfast: water

Late lunch: pepperette with string cheese, after 3 PM (I have to get blood work down at 2:30 and have to fast until then).

Late Supper: burger patty with cheese

Snack: Greek yogurt with Raspberries and bran buds

Late snack: herbal tea with premier protein

Totals: 557 cal, 27 carbs, 11 fibre, 55 protein (protein and cals are low so may eat more protein if I can fit it in)

Good afternoon! Been a hectic morning, so just getting some time to check in.

qotd: my answer will change seasonally. Spring and summer I go checking around in the garden for surprise produce with my cat (mostly she's just interested in hunting grasshoppers), fall/winter it's blanket and a book or show...most likely a book, since I tend to want to binge a show and an hour wouldn't be adequate!

breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 oz pork chop, green onions and cheese, scrambled. Lots of coffee happening today.

Lunch: spinach salad with a HB egg, bleu cheese crumbles, and homemade vinaigrette

snack: Greek L&F

dinner: no idea! I'm generally on my own on thursdays since DH goes to play nerd games with his friends (Magic the Gathering). On these nights I'm most tempted to either pick up fast food or just not eat. Bad habit I'm working on
