What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

sorry to hear about all this - especially being sick! I've spent the night at airports as well - airlines typically don't give vouchers if the delay or cancellation is weather-related, so I've spent a couple of nights sleeping on an airport floor, too. UGH! That is the worst!! I hope she eventually made it home!!

She was a trooper. She got herself a neck pillow and slept on the floor. She said surprisingly she got 5 hours of sleep and did OK. Super happy to have her home for the summer.

Oh my, Sheila, what a nightmare about trying to get your daughter home! And I'm so sorry you got sick on the way home from the airport. I sure hope you feel better today and that DD gets home safely!

She finally got home after an 18 hr delay. All is good and we are super happy to have her home for the summer.

Another good day yesterday. Today I am supposed to start stage 3 but I won't be home until later this evening and I would rather not try new things until I am safely home so dinner it is.... although I am up early enough maybe I'll try cottage cheese for breakfast.

Qotd: I love reading. And will read just about anything except romance and horror. Mostly I gravitate toward sci-fi and fantasy. But historical true crime has been creeping in lately and I read a lot of medical journals. Last night I even read about a possible find of the cause of PCOS which may lead to a cure! Brand new development but it actually sounded promising... I am cautiously optimistic. I also read fast so I am often called upon to read kids books for a friend to help figure out appropriateness. Sometimes that is surprisingly enjoyable.

Accountability: Finally exceeded my water goal yesterday! 84oz. That is closer to what I was getting pre surgery.

Bf: 1/3 premier protein, 2oz cottage cheese or Siggi's yogurt and 6 grams PB fit

L: 1/3 premier protein, 4oz chicken bone broth

D: 1/3 premier protein, a couple tiny bites of canned chicken with a hint of mayo, 4oz butternut squash soup

S: sugar free chocolate pudding or a creamy protein jello cup, 2oz 1%milk, a bite of a piece of string cheese.

About 420 calories.... we'll see how it goes!

Good morning! There are a few train cars that are full of old railroad ties on fire near my work right now and man it is really STINKY! Like - oil, tar, rubber, plastic black smoke burning yuck. I'm sure it's toxic as well, lovely!

There are chickens swinging all over the place for ya, JB!!

Accountability - awesome - I think I have my head in the game 100%. Not sure what I was thinking there for these last few months, they have been pretty crazy!

QOTD - Reading tends to put me to sleep honestly. I have read Jane Austin, Charles Dickens and other classics repeatedly over the years, but my true favorite books to read or rather devour have always been Cookbooks - since I was very little. I remember always pouring over my mom's Betty Crocker and Julia Child's cookbooks. I have quite a collection and I love everyone single of them!!

17mo post op - 168.9 - yay!

b- coffee x 2, tea, HB eggs

l-tuna w/mayo + balsamic, a few SF bread and butter pickles

d-chicken breast w/small lettuce salad

v/l - on track

Have a wonderful day everyone!

I used to be a real cookbook reader, too! I don't so much anymore, but I used to have them stacked on my nightstand along with my other books! My mom once gave me her 1950s era Goodhousekeeping cookbook that she got as a wedding gift - that one was a real treat!

Oops, forgot the QOTD. Love historical fictions.

But I just finished I'll be gone in the dark about the Golden State Killer (because they just captured him). Very interesting and obviously non fiction.

Im also reading "Educated". It's a memoir and it breaks your heart. A lot like Glass Castle.

Morning and Happy Wednesday. I have a ton of doctor appointments today, so I'm only working a half day in the office. I'm seeing my surgeon since my gastroenterologist punted me back to him, the endo and orthopedic surgeon. I have tendonitis in my elbow and trigger finger in my left hand, so it looks like I'm going to get a crap ton of cortisone. Times like this I really miss NSAIDs.

JBQOTD: Historical fiction for the win. Some of my favorites: Loving Frank (I'm a Frank Lloyd Wright geek); The Paris Wife (although that book got my book club going down an Ernest Hemingway path that I didn't love) and Devil in the White City.

My plan:

B: Bacon

L: Probably nothing. My first appointment is at 1 and the hospital is about 40 minutes away, so I'll be leaving my office at 12. I have appointments all the way to 3:30 (If any one of my doctors is late, the whole schedule is screwed) so I'm going with nothing.

D: Maybe grilled Carne Asada. I was planning on a happy hour with some former co-workers in downtown LA, but one of my friends has a huge deadline and said the thought of leaving work was stressing him out. Also, I don't know that I'll be able to work out if I get the injections I'm expecting, so I should have time to grill. If not, I have no idea.

S: Latte probably between my first and second appointments. The hospital has both a starbucks and a coffee bean & tea leaf, so I'll have options

E: If I feel up to it, I'll spin. TRX or a weight class is out

Devil in White City was a fantastic read! One of the few of that genre I have gone back and re read.
