What's on your Thursday Menu RNYers?
Good morning and happy Friday Eve! I'm working from home today. Last week I purchased some fleece lined leggings and merino wool socks. So I'm feeling quite cozy. If you are in cooler areas I highly recommended manned the merino socks!! I bought mine at Costco- 4 pairs for $17. I asked my daughter for another pack for Christmas. Oh and some fuzzy slippers with candy canes on them. Sears Canada is going out of business and I got a good deal there on the slippers and leggings. A lot of stuff is still priced high though.
QOTD: yesterday a lot of you mentioned online shopping. What are your favourite online stores? I have a prime membership with Amazon and recently started using subscribe and save for mio drops lol. It gave me the best price. I like shopping online for clothes from Old Navy because I'm really familiar with their sizing and it's so much easier to use than their store. I think as I get more used to other retailers regular sizes I will probably do more online shopping.
Accountability was awesome yesterday.
Menu
B: Greek yogurt
L: Chicken Salad
D: Chicken tacos - I will have mine without shells. Making the chicken in the instant pot. We are having company tonight.
S: Not sure - if I have a day like yesterday I may not need a snack.
Vitamins are good and weight is still hovering at 169.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning! Yep, I ended up paying almost $80 in parking yesterday. Boston is ridiculously expensive for the stupidest things sometimes.
Accountability: Perfect. I wasn't hungry so I skipped to planned meals and kept calories under 800 for the day.
QOTD: Literally everywhere.
Exercise: Already ran a mile this morning and will do another this evening. I LOVE MY TREADMILL! New goal--get faster! I am good on the endurance and can still do 3 miles, but Lord they are slow! Nobody's got time for that! LOL.
Vitamins: Oral (3 EZ melts Iron + 1 multi + 1 D3 + 1 B12) Patches (Iron + Multi)
Good morning! DH and I are off to Boston for a clinical trial appointment. Luckily THEY pay for the parking!
QOTD: Like JB, I shop for everything, everywhere on the internet. My favorites would be Amazon, LandsEnd, and possibly Old Navy of late (getting a size 0 in other low priced stores is not easy - strange to be saying this...).
1 year, 8 months post-op (maintenance).
B: eggbeaters, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon
L: ham and cheese
D: Leftover veal parmigiana (had 1/3 last night so I have 2 more meals)
S: yogurt

I use Old Navy for small sizes too. I find that most stores only stock down to a 4. I wear a 4 in many brands, but if I wear a 2 or even a 0 anywhere they are much harder to find.

Good morning :)
Today I'm going out for lunch with a coworker so I'm looking forward to that. I'm seriously considering taking tomorrow off as it has been a slow week and there is a presentation at school that might be potentially interesting. This weekend we don't have a lot planned so hopefully we can catch up on sleep and just relax.
QOTD: I personally like Amazon as well, but I wish we could get more selection. I usually also buy things from the Bay and Walmart if I can. I used to buy things from Sears, especially around Christmas, but the website is gone already. I sometimes but from specialty places for vitamins, food, and my SF Torani syrups.
Post-op two years, eight months.
Breakfast - protein bar (still need to go shopping)
Snack - egg, bacon jerky
Lunch - restaurant so food tbd
Snack - turkey pepperoni
Dinner - tbd
Snack - protein shake if needed
All water and vits.
Good morning Teena and menu folks! It isn't as cold here today so I may get out and do a walk at lunchtime. I also have deep water aerobics tonight which is fun.
I had a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test yesterday and my base level calories are over 1700. That seems really high, but it does mean that I am okay eating more. The problem is that I am still having problems even getting 1000 calories most days. I just can't eat that much, but I will keep trying since I don't want to keep losing weight at this point.
QOTD: I do alot of my shopping online. I regularly order from JCPenneys, Kohls and Amazon. I also order my vitamins and protein shakes from LuckyVitamin so I order from them pretty often.
Menu:
Breakfast: scrambled eggs, chicken
Snack: Lemonade protein shake
Lunch: Turkey breast, veg of some sort
Snack: 2 oz turkey breast, apple
Dinner: BBQ chicken breast, broccoli slaw
Exercise: long walk, deep water aerobics
