What's on your Menu today (Tuesday) RNYers?

Thank you for the advice and help. It is very helpful to hear how others have approached their food intake.

Good morning everyone!

My workout is done again- so excited about that. I have a modest step goal of only 6000 steps but it's a challenge in he winter for me to get to that as I tend to hibernate but I did make it yesterday and I will today as well. I am going to aim for 7000 today. I will just pay attention to the movement reminders on my Fitbit.

Accountability- I came home and was starving and of all things grabbed 2 crackers with peanut butter. This time has always been a challenge for me so I have to figure out a solution. I think I need to start bringing a healthy snack to the office to eat on my way home. And remind myself that hunger is not an emergency. No reflection in the scale though - I'm down 2.5 lbs - 164.1 this morning.

QOTD: I love Amazon too but I don't think I'd max out my credit card. Can I choose a travel agency? That's what I'd love to max out on. Other than that, right now we are in need of appliances so that's a possibility (Lowe's or Home Depot or a local store called Paddy's Market). Also, since our trip to PA I love Boscov's and could absolutely max out my card there.

Menu:

B: My ride showed up 20 mns early so I quickly threw my food together and breakfast is a protein bar.

L: Leftover pork tenderloin

D: Chicken but not sure how I'm cooking it yet.

Have an awesome day everyone- text or call someone you haven't talked to in a while and let then know you're thinking about them. :)

Great job getting your workout in again this morning, I set the alarm, let it go off at 4 am and reset it! LOL. I will go to the gym tonight ! Great job!

Way to go on your workout and steps.

I think you are on the train like me - sometimes I grasp a latte or cappuccino to sip on the way home. There are about 4 different coffee places in Union Station now so lots of choice if you give yourself an extra 5 minutes.

I used to take the train but only as far as Eglinton. Then in July of last year my company moved to Markham so now I drive. I carpool with 2 others. We have a great cafeteria but I'm trying to be diligent about packing my food.

When I got home from work used to be a challenge for me too. When I had my 6 month pre-op supervised period, the NUT suggested a protein snack for the way home (cheese sticks, protein bar, etc). I found that it helped a lot and I still have a snack at the same time post-op to stop that late afternoon, pre-dinner craving.

Thank you Liz! I will try that. :)

do you have a fridge at work? I usually have celery and peanut butter in mine and occasionally raw vegetables with a dip made from Greek yogurt. Both are pretty filling and make decent late afternoon snacks. If I'm already a little heavy on calories, I'll go for the raw veggies & dip. Otherwise, a couple tablespoons of peanut butter on celery sticks holds me over for a L-O-N-G time!

I do have a fridge, and peanut butter is one of my favourite things. I never used to like celery but now I do, so that's a great idea. I will add celery to my shopping list!
