What's on your menu today (Thursday) RNYers?

Good morning menu folks!

I had my yearly physical yesterday and there was good news and bad news. Since last year, I am off all of my meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and asthma. My weight is still going down (not sure why since I am eating more) and I am much more healthy. Now for the bad news. I do appear to have a small bump along my surgery incision. It may be scar tissue or a slight herniation. The doctor isn't really worried about it. I will show it to the surgeon on my next visit. The really bad news is that I have a softball (or larger) sized mass in or in the area of my uterus. She is very concerned and ordered ultrasounds, which I will try to get any appointment for as soon as possible. I am really concerned, but can't do much until we get more information.

Accountability: for dinner last night I had 2 chicken tenders and half a dozen fries instead of my planned dinner of pancakes and turkey bacon. I had the pancakes for breakfast this morning since I am at home. I also snacked on a Quest protein bar at bedtime. I wasn't hungry and didn't need it, but I was feeling nervous and just wanted to eat. Not a horrible choice, but bad reasons for eating.

Also because of the appointment, I didn't get in a long walk or swim, but I did get in alot of other walking so my daily steps were good. Since I am home having a mental health day today, I am going to do a swim today and we'll see about deep water aerobics tonight.

Menu:

Breakfast: ham, 1 pancake

Snack: protein shake

Lunch: 1/2 leftover hamburger, no bun, baby carrots

Snack: 2 oz turkey breast, apple

Dinner: not sure and will depend on whether I go swimming again

Exercise: hour of swimming plus maybe deep water aerobics. I need the stress relief right now.

Sending good thoughts!

Sending positive thoughts your way Janet.

don't panic yet - it could be some benign thing, and often it is - but I know that's easy for me to say. I would probably feel the same way (i.e., worried) if it was me. I'm sending good thoughts, though. Please keep us posted.

Hope you get your ultrasound fast... and take care.

Praying for a positive outcome about the mass near your uterus, Janet.

Thinking of you Janet and fingers crossed for a good diagnosis.

I know a lot of people stress eat, I personally don't (I am more of a boredom eater) but since I know you like to workout as well as I do work out that stress at the gym/pool, anything to keep you out of the kitchen.

Thanks for the reminder! I plan to go to the pool at least once today!

Sending prayers and hugs too.
