What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Great job Janet! Ryley will work this summer and this fall will be entering the Honors Program at Suny Plattsburgh, he should graduate with his Masters in Teaching in 5 years.

It seems like you both raised outstanding young men! I know it's not easy to work and get an education. I worked part time during college and full time during law school. I refer to those as the lost years!

You and your wife should be very proud

I worked full-time while working on my second master's. I don't think I read a newspaper for two years. No time!! I was so glad when that was over with!

Those floors are incredibly beautiful and I sure wish I could do that!

QOTD: I'm proud of my youngest daughter losing 35 pounds and hoping that she has changed her eating habits permanently to sustain that loss (I never was able to after dieting).

Accountability: I was right on yesterday even on vacation, but we are out to dinner with friends tonight...

2 Years, 2.5 months post-op (maintaining at goal for 18.5 months)

Always lots of coffee...

B: Eggs scrambled with cottage cheese

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Dinner out - something protein rich

S: Protein cake bite (1 for dessert)

Congrats to your Daughter Liz! As we know it is easier said than done!

You two did an amazing job on the floors. They are absolutely beautiful! Another hot day here in Illinois but Lily and I have our 4 miles done already. We'll do another mile as the sun goes down. Accountability was good yesterday with no extra bites taken. QOTD I am proud that other than one day I have kept tight rein on my urge to snack while on prednisone and my weight is up a bit but still in range. Its been tough but on the good side I've got lots of knitting done too! Post op 5 years 9.5 months and weight at 118.8 today. Heres the food B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 1/2 c tuna salad with 3 baby carrots D 4 oz ground beef with salsa 1/2 c seasoned green beans S 5 oz cottage cheese. Have a great day full of smart choices! Time for coffee now.

You are such an inspiration, Karen! Most other people would use the pregnasone as an excuse, but you are a machine! Hope you are continuing to heal and feel well.

Prednisone may be my most hated drug. It's a special horrible hunger with that drug. I hope you don't have to be on it long. I took 120mg twice a day for 18 months. I was always hungry.

I so admire your resolve and admire how you go about these challenges. I really look up to you and learn so much from you.

Way to go!
