What's on your Menu today (Tuesday) RNYers?

Mornin' All!

Thanks for starting us out, Daisy!

I have a bunch of errands to run and stuff to do this morning before my brother arrives at 3:30. Then tomorrow afternoon DH and I are headed off to Chicago for my plastic surgery!! (pre-op appt on Thursday morning, surgery on Friday morning). YAY!!! I had DH take unclothed pictures of me last night so I'll have some "befores", in case the surgeon doesn't give me the ones he took at my consult. I'd done some "befores" 1.5 years ago when I was getting a quote from a (far) out-of-town surgeon. I looked a bit more wrinkly in those. I checked my weight at that time, and i was just 4 lbs lighter than I am now. Not sure if 4 lbs makes much difference, or if things have just re-distributed. At any rate, I look better now - but still awful! Can't wait for this surgery!

QOTD: my struggle is controlling snacking. It's especially bad late in the afternoon and at night. I've started eating dinner earlier which helps with the late afternoon cravings. At night I usually just ignore them, but it's tough. I sometimes eat SF candy, but that has calories, too (or at least it does when you eat as much of it as I sometimes do!). A bowl of high-fiber cereal also helps, too. Or fat.

3 years 2 months out:

B: homemade Greek yogurt with homemade blueberry/rhubarb sauce

MS: coffee with half & half, Miralax/protein latte shake

L: I get a free egg sandwich today at Einstein's (it's my birthday!), so I'll get one of the healthier options (they slice the middle part of the bagel out and use things like egg whites and turkey sausage for the ingredients (depending on what kind of sandwich you get)

D: we'll be going out somewhere, so I'm not sure. I'm a little worried - but then, I get to pick the place since it's my b-day. I'll pick somewhere that has safe options..

Happy birthday!! Sounds like it will be a great day!!

thanks!!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Trish!

i struggle with the desire to snack a lot in the late afternoon and evening too. I try to push my lunch as late as possible (2 or 3 usually), then dinner around 6:30-7. I do plan on one evening snack but this schedule has worked pretty well on the days I'm able to adhere to it.
