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

Good morning! Actually a pretty great one so far. The walk was good, the coffee was better. So good in fact, I might finish this bottle of water and go make another.

Menu: B: Protein bar at work, and a coffee, full octane.

MS: 1/2 cup cottage cheese and cucumber chopped, 1/2 can tuna

L: Shake (see below)

AS: same as MS

S: Unknown

Decaf, water water water. And a handful of vitamins. Pro tip: Don't take a chewable vitamin C moments after brushing your teeth. It was nearly an hour before that taste finally left my mouth. Blah!!!

QOTD: The only label I have handy is for my Protein shake, so I'll leave the details in the pics. It's got a good breakdown though, and tastes OK in my books.

Good morning everyone!

I spent yesterday filling out dental and vision paperwork to transfer our coverage as our COBRA is ending in a few days. Nothing I hate worse than filling out forms and talking to insurance companies. Taken care of now though.

Accountability has been on point the last couple days.

qotd: I have nothing ...sorry. I am enjoying see others recommendations though.

Menu

B: egg whites, green pepper, onion and 2 oz. of ham scramble. 1 tablespoon taco sauce for kick.

L: 4 oz. turkey and 1 slice Swiss cheese

D: 4 oz. fajita beef meat and 2 slices 2% American cheese melted on top.

Good morning - great morning actually! I received 'the' form letter from my son at boot camp with the rules and his address yesterday. The best part was he slipped in this tiny note:

My heart is so full and all is right in my world

QOTD - products I love are all things Trader Joe's and have already been covered here!! I don't eat many other prepackaged things - although I will check out Costco a little closer on my next visit! The occasional protein bar maybe - recently discovered the Quest birthday cake flavor is amazing, the best by far but I shouldn't be eating them at all! I eat mostly of eggs, chicken, hot italian sausage and tuna!

Accountability - on plan!

14 mo post op

b-coffee w/hc/splenda, HB eggs

Have a wonderful day!!

Yay for a sweet note

Thank you! It meant the world to me!!

That note is so awesome!!!

LOVE the sweet note!

How wonderful that you got that note from DS!

Mornin' All!

well, that "Water in Motion" class last night kicked my butt. I was really feeling it this morning. Normally, Aqua Zumba is a lot more intense, but this instructor was really good. I may start going to this class regularly. That would mean Aqua Zumba on Sunday nights, and this other class on Wed nights - perfect! This morning I did 30 minutes on the cross trainer - so feeling pretty good right now!

Working remotely this morning - meetings this afternoon - then my book discussion group tonight. I've actually finished the whole book for once, so I can't wait for the meeting!

accountability was OK yesterday. I was at 1420 kcal until late last night (1500 is my limit), but I was famished. I usually just ignore it, but I had a piece of crustless protein pumpkin pie with 2 T of SF Cool Whip on it (one of my go-to snacks), so that brought my calories up to 1520 - so not bad. Still, I wish I would have just ignored it...

QOTD: I make a lot of things from scratch (including yogurt) since I don't mind cooking. I usually make a couple of things on the weekends that we eat all week for lunches and dinners. I do like Trader Joe's High Fiber Cereal, though. It sort of tastes like cardboard if you eat it plain, but it provides a good crunch if you put a couple of tablespoons on your yogurt - and the stats are better on it than they are on granola (well, I always used Kashi granola, which has better stats than normal granola..but still, TJ's High Fiber Cereal is even better...at least calorie- and fiber-wise). I also make the crustless protein pumpkin pie recipe that was on OH before Thanksgiving about once a week (although this is not a commercial product, of course...). It's great in a pinch when I'm craving something sweet at night. It's 84 kcal and 11 grams of protein a slice, which is about the same as L&F yogurt, and with a couple of tablespoons of SF Cool Whip (which kind of makes it, IMHO), that's still only 100 kcal, so not bad)
