What's on your menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?
Good Morning and it's Fri-YAY. We are getting some rain today and snow is expected where Em will be heading up to camp later this afternoon so I am glad we did borrow snow boots from my sister! Can't wait to see how your hair turns out. My plans for the weekend are to relax a bit and I will probably spend a few hours helping my hubby at work since they are in the midst of a pledge drive (I can pack up shirts/mugs and stuff because they have phones and all that covered). Em will come home Sunday afternoon so it'll be fun to hear all about camp when she gets home.
Accountability: Last night I added a Kind bar and banana before bed.
QOTD: I plan to still be here on OH, I am sure it'll be an app or the next "thing" by then but I will be here.
Time since surgery: 3 years 5 months

Hello Protein Pals! How is everyone? Its the weekend! Who has great plans this weekend? Tonight will be lots of rest & relaxing, getting my hair cut & colored on Saturday morning and in the evening we have an engagement party to go of one of my husband's cousins. Sunday is chores day.
Photo Friday is open topic everyone, post any pic you feel like
Accountability: Well I had a huge pouch day yesterday and I wanted to eat the world. I ate extra cheese, some olives, extra shrimp, a Grande Skinny vanilla latte and two white chocolate Lindt balls. UGH!
QOTD: Where do you see yourself in 5 years terms of WLS? Do you think you will still be a part of OH? Will you be posting a menu here and supporting newbies etc? In 5 years I will be in my 10th year post op. I do see myself still here on OH, still posting a menu (not sure if I will still be the moderator or not) and still supporting and giving advice where I can. I "plan" on still being at goal and following the rules, this is a promise I have made myself for my health and longevity of life.

Here is my photo Friday pic: I made a big crock pot of chili on Sunday. Hubby has been eating it a lot this week and we portioned out the rest and put in the freezer for future grab & go meals. I put lots of "stuff" in my chili so there is mushrooms, red bell pepper, chickpeas, red kidney beans, lots of onion & garlic and lots of cayenne & chili powder. Its pretty yummy!
Have an awesome weekend everyone!!
BTW - your chili looks delicious, we like to add different beans, and will have to add chickpeas to the mix!

Good morning menu crew! IT'S FRIDAY!!! Have I mentioned that I love finally having real weekends?! I'm already trying to decide what fun thing I want to do lol! Feeling social but not really large group kind of social.. Hmmmm.
qotd: In five years... I have no clue! Ideally, I'd like to be at my goal and still be here on OH. I hope that my experience can help others who are new to the weight loss world, or any facet of their life, (I'm only one year post op and still trying to figure a few things out but hopefully someday I can be one of the people to help others along their journey). I definitely see myself still working out and making healthy food choices (let's be real though, there's gonna be slip ups. I'm not perfect.). I guess, in one short answer, I want to continue to be the best version of myself five years from now and on.
b1: syntrax
b2: one baby purple potato with a fried egg and leftover corned beef. (see pic below :))
l: leftover fajita fixin's
d: not sure yet. I want something really low calorie though

e: WE MADE IT TO THE GYM.... And hubby actually let us go inside this time hahaha!!! Getting up at 4am was worth it today. Got my 3.4 miles run in already (knee feels a little fussy though now so I'm gonna have to ease up again. boooo!)
Have a fantastic day, everybody! ~*Mandi
