Whatâ??s on your Sunday Menu RNYâ??ers

Oh, the plank challenge sounds interesting! Planks and pushups, I think that's the ticket!

Today is my 10 year surgiversary. This is a good time to pledge to myself to follow the WLS eating plan. Most of the time I do well, but then there are times when not so much.

Friday evening I attended my great niece's birthday party. I did very well with the meal except for eating too many raw veggies. Really difficult for me to digest. I fully intended to turn down the ice cream and cake, but sorry to say I indulged. I was so miserable. Soon as I got home, it came up.

Peachpie, you are full of energy. Good for you running. I have to tell you I only run if someone is chasing me and I don't want to be caught. I'm way older than you, but even when I was younger, no interest in running. Truthfully, exercise is a word I don't use much.

QOTD: I love to cook but not breakfast. I used to really enjoy going out for breakfast. My choices were either biscuits & gravy, hash browns, bacon or sausage, or instead of the biscuits & gravy, a 3 egg omelet with the tators and breakfast meat. A dinner meal favorite was fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and a couple dinner rolls.

Today's menu won't be anything like those meals:

Iced de-caff coffee w/Big Train

Cheese; cantaloupe

Greek yogurt

Click shake

Turkey meat balls; *WW noodles that look like cellophane, 15 calories (guys will have spaghetti

*Weigh****cher noodles I bought when I going to meetings a few months ago; tried them once and not a fan but they are better for me carb wise.

Nothing in me wanted to run this morning. I probably looked like cardboard moving initially cause of my attitude. I loosened up and enjoyed it. I do feel energetic - but when I think of all the years I wasted being SMO- I feel like I owe it to myself.

Tater Tots and hash browns are something I didn't discover till I had kids. Hash browns I can leave-- but tater tots...mmmmm

Happy 10 year surgiversary!!!

Good morning. It's going to be 85 today. I am sitting out on the patio drinking my coffee deciding what to do for the day. I really want to go to church, but going for a hike with my husband and dog sounds great too.

I had such a great food day yesterday. I logged every little bite and was 100% on plan. It felt really good. I am feeling really motivated and strong.

QOTD- My favorite breakfast pre-op were hash browns, egg, sourdough toast with lots of butter and jam. I also used to have quite the cheez it problem. I would eat a box a night. I look back on how much I used to eat and its embarrassing.

Food for today-

I have already eaten my breakfast

1 egg, 1 adeles chicken sausage, 1 slice onion, 1 oz light mozzarella,

I have also decided I am going to star****er aerobics again. Its literally a mile from my house. I can walk up the hill and walk home. Thank you Librarian67 (Janet) for motivating me.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning! Your QOTD was on spot this morning bc we were talking about that on the way to church!

I LOVE to cook! Like baked all of my Christmas goodies 2 weeks post op and did just fine.

Breakfasts on the weekends were always huge. Eggs, meats, hash browns, toast, sausage gravy. Etcetc. Now it's a premiere shake. EVERY.SINGLE.DAY! We went to ihop after church to eat lunch with our daughter before she left for work and I got one egg and a piece of sausage. And the eggs. Still make me nauseated. Every single time ???.

Oh well!

B: premiere shake

L: 1/2 scrambled egg, sausage link

D: I just put a beef roast in the crock pot so that and some veggies.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! I slept in and today is my planned lazy day! I tried to get as much work done yesterday as possible. I went to the gym and did 30 mins on elliptical, weights, and another 15 on treadmill, then spent a huge amount of time taming the garden, and by the time I dot done with all of that, I didn't get much of the housework done that I wanted. So today I'm going to turn up some music and finish cleaning and folding laundry, then have my mini-spa and lazy afternoon :)

qotd: Sunday would be either pancakes, French toast, or biscuits and gravy with sides of bacon and cheesy scrambled eggs. Wa**** down with low sugar orange juice (cuz diabetes!) and/or coffee. Or we'd go out and if order something similar. Now my "big Sunday breakfast" is one scrambled egg and a couple of sausage links or bacon strips. Huge difference!

breakfast: aforementioned scrambled egg and bacon

coffee and Premier 30 mins after

lunch: late breakfast, so might just have some kind of yogurt snack at some point

dinner: chicken fried cauliflower rice. We go heavy on the chicken, so it's mostly protein and less everything else.

Good afternoon! Had a good day in church and am now sitting on the porch enjoying the cooler weather before it becomes hot again.

QOTD breakfast used to be my favorite meal. I'd have it any time of day. Pancakes and sausages. And sticky buns or cinnamon rolls. Ok enough about that.

Yesterday cals 722, prot 69, carbs 13, fat 41. Today 1st tea with half and half then egg and cottage cheese and then more tea. L roast beef and asparagus. D leftovers from lunch. Snack light babybel.

Yesterday's shopping was crazy. 6 hours in a mall with my husband. Luckily we got everything we needed so we don't have to go back!

Qotd: My go to lunch about once a month was a Domino's order. A medium pizza, an order of parmesan bread bites and a soda. I would eat half the pizza and all the bread bites. The thought of that now makes my throat seize up and my stomach turn badly.

Accountability: not so ho****er was way down, I missed a calcium, lunch was okay (even though it was Panda Express) but I missed my afternoon snack. I am happy at 850 calories, yesterday was 600.

Bf: 4oz siggi's yogurt, 37g Julian's bakery pro granola

MS: 1 serving Epic Turkey bites

L: 3 chicken meatballs, 4 triscuits

AS: 1 babybel

D: real good pizza 1/2 serving, 1/8 cup soft cooked veggies

A premier protein pudding, 1/4 cup raspberries

About 750 calories, 65 minutes treadmill, 120oz water, all vitamins,

Hello to my fellow RnYers! Happy Sunday!

Thanks Peach for getting us started! Glad you had such a nice time yesterday. Happy Birthday to your 14-year-old! Enjoy Wildwood! The NJ coast is beautiful. An ex I'm still fond of lives there, further north in Bay Head, four blocks from the Atlantic and 2 blocks from Barneget Bay. As the entire peninsula is only 10 feet above seawater at the highest, however, it's not a place I would have built! His home was a quarter underwater during Sandy, and he had to be evacuated by boat. Yikes! Still, it's lovely when calm! Anyway, have a blast today!

I had a nice time at the block party yesterday. I had most of a cheeseburger, sans bun, and a slice of tomato.

Here's an NSV I didn't expect: after showering I was towelling dry, when I realized I could wrap the bath towel all the way around me, sarong-style, tuck it in, and have the entire thing completely overlap by several inches! It was as properly fitted as wearing just a bath towel could ever be. It's just a regular sized bath towel, not oversized. I got a kick out of that!

QOTD: I was never a big morning eater, usually preferring several cups of coffee to anything more substantial. If I went out to breakfast or brunch, I'd usually have an omelette, no bread or potatoes. But you'd better believe I'd make up for a comparatively light start later in the day! I could eat for three or four, not just for two, usually late in the evening. I had really developed absolutely terrible dietary habits, which the scale accurately, if embarrassingly, reflected.

First: two huge mugs of tea!

B: beef with smoked gouda

L: tuna

D: chicken

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
