What's on your Tuesday menu RNYers?

LOL (not that I'm laughing at your misfortune of falling).

When I don't walk to work, I ride my bike when feeling particularly crazy or brave. The last ride home had a wind gust to my back (for once). It shifted to the side at one point and I had to actually steer the bike to avoid being pushed over into the boulevard. Very strange sensation.

I'm already still getting used to a different balance point from the weight difference and muscle memory being re-learned. It's so bizarre having lost so quickly. The pre-surgical weight loss was so slow from 391 to about 330 that I never really had a problem. From 330 to 223 has been so fast my mind is out of sync with my body.

My kid and I were play wrestling in the yard the other night. Before, I could walk around with both of them hanging on me like a yoke and "pretend there was a gentle breeze". Now I can still carry them (muscle loss has been minimal) but my 7 year old can take me down. Gotta watch myself now, they could technically actually hurt me in our goofing around. Hahaha

Good morning. Yesterday I actually came in under my calorie goal, so that made me feel good.

QOTD: I have been the recipient of breakfast and lunch from some folks who were paying it forward. Feels awesome, really gives me a lift for the day. One being my hubby and I were out for dinner and it happened again. It so pleased my husband, that the next time we were out, and by this time I'd forgotten abt our dinner being paid for, he tells the waitress that he wanted to pay for this older couple that were sitting across from us. Now it's supposed to be anonymous, but the waitress told them we had paid. She came to our table to thank us, reached for my hand and proceeded to knock over my iced tea. All in my lap! I still laugh thinking abt it!

Have a great one!

Good morning OH! Teena - Congrats on 11 months - you've done so well, keep up the great work!! I seem to be struggling with Christmas spirit this year. I just realized this will probably be the last Christmas my son will live at home (he ships out Jan 22nd) and he will probably be absent for most holidays for a while... So I am going to do my darnedest to make it count. I am already going overboard on gifts for sure, but more than that - I want to watch/go see every Christmas movie, drive around and see all the lights all over the county while singing every Christmas song known to man and drinking cocoa! See the carolers, Santa Land and ride the carousel... Hoping to fit it all in with his schedule. I'm going to miss him terribly ;(

QOTD - I have been the recipient of all sorts kindness - I'm talking about simple things like a compliments, driving, Starbucks, doors, smiles...I try to give these things more often than I receive them. My boss recently wrote a characterer reference for me to become the fiduciary for my Fathers Veteran benefits. I was blown away by what he wrote , if that counts. He could have been very 'clinical' but it was very personal and I am thankful to have such a kind and generous boss.

Accountability - there were a lot unnecessary pork rinds, a lot...

Thanks, Chris!!

Good afternoon,

I woke up late and wanted to get my exercise in before I babysit this afternoon. It is done. I fell twice over the weekend, hurt my tailbone twice and my finger hurts. Its annoying pain. Hopefully it quits hurting soon. Do not know why I fell on Sunday because I did not trip over anything.

Qotd I brought my friend something that will come in handy for her. Smile at a stranger the other day and he did a double take. A car let me in ahead of him.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D roast beef, kale salad and sf chocolate pudding pie.

Have a good day
