What's on your photo Friday menu RNYers?

Good morning. I hope the doctor has good news on resolving what is going on with Chelsie. Our kids always take priority for us Moms. My DS is depressed over the loss of Duchess (after work he is alone, it is dark and the house feels empty). My heart aches for him. It is a good thing that we are going home for a few weeks on Monday.

QOTD: I'm more or less done. I'm not getting much this year, since the kids are adults. I spent the most time on gifts for my 2 SILs (also best friends), but that's done. When I get home I'll pick up miscellaneous items for stocking stuffers.

Last night I had this great meal at a place called Bahama Breeze. It was a "stack" of crab and shrimp over avocado and mango. So good, for 330 calories and 32 gm of protein.

1 year, 8 months post-op, maintenance:

B: eggbeaters, cottage cheese, and Canadian bacon

L: Tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Fish and veggies

S: yogurt

My pictures are from the Edison and Ford Estate Holiday Lights display we went to last night:

Beautiful pictures as always,Liz. And your meal last night sounds delicious. I love any type of seafood but its hard to get fresh stuff here in Illinois. In March we're head to Louisiana for a work trip and I've already warned hubby that there will be seafood eaten while we're there.

Yes, there should be great seafood in Louisiana.

is that the one in Ft Myers? If so, I've been there - but many years ago...

Yes, the summer estates. I had been to it previously- the holiday light display is a fundraiser apparently. I may put a video of the water display on FB (if it came out ok - haven't viewed it yet).

Love your pictures, Liz!

I love the lights!!

Good Morning Teena and Menu Family!

I'm sorry, I don't have any new pictures this week.

QOTD: My daughter and I are doing a Secret Santa through Facebook and we also each signed up to buy a gift for a needy person. For my needy person I got a 50-year old man who would like grooming / shower items. Saralisa got a 38-year old lady who likes movies, popcorn and blankets. We still need to get presents for them. My Secret Santa is a 9-year old girl named Mya. I have her gifts bought already. Saralisa's is a middle aged (I can't remember the exact age right now) lady and she is almost done buying for her. I'm pretty much done with my shopping for Saralisa, although I might still buy her some more gifts for her Birthday, which is January 5th. (After Christmas sales are a good time to shop!)

Accountability: Yesterday: Protein - 69, Calories - 1,125, Carbs - 121.

B: prosciutto & mozzarella sticks, light & fit Greek yogurt

L: pulled chicken, light & fit Greek yogurt

D: Not sure yet, but will choose wisely.

S: prosciutto & mozzarella sticks, light & fit Greek yogurt, banana, 2 Atkin's peanut butter cups

E: Depending on how cold it is, I might walk at Walmart or the mall instead of outside today.

Have a WONDERFUL day everyone!
