Good morning,

I got some errands to run today then work.

Last night I had some baked potato chips and popcorn. I know I should of ate something with protein but I wanted something different.

Qotd I would rather to have mobility in my hands than my legs. But I would missed walking.

B ham and cheese omelette, string cheese and pork and beans

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D hamburger patty, green beans and grapes

Have a good day

Happy Wednesday all! I can't believe it's only Wednesday morning, this week is not going very quickly.

Accountability - good news, my vendor was thrilled about the salad place suggestion for lunch yesterday; bad news, I forgot to add the chicken onto my salad so it ended up being protein light; I stopped myself from eating the whole thing but with all the fruit and nuts, it ended up being higher calories/high carbs than I planned. Today will be better! I did get in both workouts I planned for yesterday so yay.

QOTD - my grandmother was in a wheelchair since my mom was young; my mom was in a car accident when I was 10 and spent quite a while in a wheelchair/has had issues with her legs since so I think I'd be well adapted to mobility issues ---and the idea that I could lose limbs or fingers/toes because of Type 2 diabetes was the reason I has WLS so I know I'd pick the wheelchair before the limb loss, hands down (oh, maybe I should rephrase that ).

B - coffee + 1/3 premiere

MS - coffee + 1/3 premiere

L - skyr

AS - baby bel

D - 2 oz deli roast beef, 1 oz unexpected cheddar

Happy Wednesday all!

Morning everyone!

Today is DH's first day back to work after his surgery (he got 6 weeks paid leave). I was a bit jealous for that but it was good for him as he had a bit more trouble acclimating and he had a torn stitch that caused him some pretty bad discomfort for about 3 extra weeks...but he is back to normal now so I am sure he will do fine. He is excited to go show off his weight loss...can you believe he has lost over 70lbs since starting his pre-op liquid diet? that's just 8 weeks....insane. Men always lose faster- so not fair LOL.

recent NSV: I ordered a swim suit from Amazon a few days ago that I've had in my "wish list" for a while- It's 2 sizes smaller than I have been wearing but I wanted it for a vacation we are taking in August and there was only one left in stock so I pulled the trigger and bought it. got it in the mail yesterday and tried it on and it FITS! it's slightly snug in the middle area but another 5-10 lbs and it will be perfect. I also realized most of my pants are definitely loose on me now so I am sure I could go down a size there but I don't need them yet so I will wait.

QOTD: no question I'd rather lose the use of my legs. I am an artist and not being able to use my hands would be devastating...not to say the loss of my legs wouldn't be too, but I think I could learn to maneuver myself in a wheel chair much better than learning to function without my hands.

Morning: coffee w/half caramel PP
B: half cup cottage cheese with 2 chopped up strawberries
L: leftover chicken crust pizza
S: Greek Light & fit yogurt
D: Asian apricot chicken in the crock pot w/ cauliflower rice

Glad he's doing well but SO NOT FAIR....

Typical men

But such a great NSV swimsuit!! Wow! You go girl!

Yay for your NSV!

for your NSV!

Good morning menu friends! On a bit late as we had to take the camper over to get the propane tank filled early so it will be ready to leave Friday. Todays plans are to vacuum and clean out there and also here in the house so all is clean when we leave Friday morning to head toward Quincy and the Children's home. We work there 3 weeks,come home for 2 days and then head to Springfield Illinois for another 3 weeks of work at a relief distribution center. Lily and I got our 4 miles in this am in a drizzle and will do another mile sometime after supper. Accountability was spot on yesterday with exercise done and no extra bites taken. Post op 5 years 9.75 months and weight at 119 today. Heres the eats B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 4 oz turkey/cheese roll up 4 pieces of cauliflower with ranch dressing on the side D 4 oz strip steak 1/2 c seasoned green beans S jerky and string cheese. Have a great day and make your best choices today!

QOTD: As an artist the idea of not using my hands is horrifying but I will say hands. I know a now man who lost both his arms because at 16 when he was with friends tried to climb a fence that he didn't realize was high voltage. It's amazing as humans how we can learn to overcome. He is married with 4 children, does web development and does professional photography. Landscapes and photos for when people are selling their home.

B: coffee latte, overnight oats

preworkout: lite English muffin with ricotta and strawberry

L: Buffalo chicken salad, Wasa Cracker, tomato

D: mahi burger, spinach

S: protein drink

ex: gym, swim 20 laps in pool
