What's on your menu today (Thursday) RNYers?

Great news!

Good morning! Thanks for starting us!

I did make fish tacos yesterday. DH had soft taco shells, but I had mine sans shell. I was really happy with the slaw and mango salsa, but the fish was a little bland even though I marinated it. I'm going to try lightly blackening it next time.

This morning it was 80 at 7 am and so humid it was like Aruba where my glasses fogged up as soon as I stepped outside. On the agenda today is cleaning half the downstairs (I did the upstairs yesterday and will finish the downstairs tomorrow). Thank goodness for AC. Mid-day will probably involve water to cool off and I may bring DH to a musical event in the mid-afternoon. Dinner is with friends, one of whom just completed her third cross-country bike trip (10 weeks long) at the age of 65.

QOTD: I forgive myself if I eat unplanned food. I even allow myself to have it as long as it is healthy. I used to "fall off the wagon" and never get back on again. Now, I weigh every day, accept the consequences and get back to plan. I'm worth it and I deserve to be healthy! I am also going to yoga 3 times a week.

Accountability: Generally good, though there was some additional cottage cheese in the evening, but it filled me up so I didn't go too far overboard.

2 Years, 4 months post-op (maintaining at goal for 20 months)

Always lots of coffee...

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: deli chicken

D: Out to dinner - protein first!

S: Siggis yogurt or homemade cottage cheese with fresh berries

Yeah for fish tacos!

That's an admirable outlook on the unplanned food :)

That is a great example of self love!!

Good Morning Bethmal and Menu Family!

QOTD: WLS made me much healthier, which I wanted to do so I would be around longer for my daughter, but it's a nice thing to do for myself, as well. I enjoy buying clothes (usually from Swap.com), now that I don't have to buy plus sized. I splurged and just adopted a 3rd rescue dog which we didn't "need", but I wanted her! I love shopping on our local Dollar Auction where I get bargains for $1 or $2.

Accountability: Yesterday: Protein - 108, Calories - 1,475, Carbs - 209. Weight 137.5

B: prosciutto & mozzarella sticks, banana

L: ham, cheese & tomato on 45 calorie bread, light & fit Greek yogurt

D: Healthy Choice general tso's spicy chicken

S: light & fit Greek yogurt, frozen yogurt

E: walking the dogs

Have a fantastic day everyone!

Good morning menu friends! Lily and I have our 4 miles in and will do at least 1 more after supper. Accountability was spot on with 11,702 steps and no extra bites. Post op 5 years 11 months and weight still up at 120.4 today. QOTD self love includes keeping my hair colored(weight loss made me look older so the gray hair gets covered),fewer Tshirt days,wearing jewelry,bright colors and cute shoes. Didn't do any of these before surgery. Heres the food for today B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 4 oz ground turkey with cheese 1/2 c green beans D 4 oz pulled pork 1/2 c mixed veggies S 5 oz cottage cheese with 1 T no sugar added blackberry jam. Have a great day everyone and make smart and conscious choices to take care of yourself. Time for first cup of coffee!

Good morning! Its going to be 97 today! I am ready for fall!

Yesterday was a good day! Our little taco truck was having nachos as the lunch special. I really wanted nachos!! I even tried to justify it in my head.. I'll only eat the meat, I 'll only eat 5 chips.. So, in the end I resisted! I was proud of myself. Head hunger is real! This has been a stressful week. I refuse to turn to food!! I painted my bathroom vanity instead.

QOTD- I have always been good about self love. Clothes shopping is a lot more fun now though.

Food for today-

Black coffee

2 eggs, 1/2 c. cottage cheese ( love this breakfast)

4 oz shredded chicken, salsa

I am not sure about dinner. I would love some halibut. My daughter and I are going to go grocery shopping today.

Have a great day! Be strong, be kind. We are worth it!

I also need to keep my hands busy to stay away from food.

Morning! Sorry to hear you didn't sleep very well this morning :( maybe a nap this afternoon can be in the cards lol

Accountability: I'm really not getting the protein I should be in on a regular basis. I think I'm going to go to the store today and get some more protein shakes and that should help but I hate the 160 calories that come with them >:( and no full feeling to boost. Uhg just for freaking protein lol

QOTD: Oh good story on this one. Besides doing my hair now and putting on makeup, my wls actually contributed to my separation! I spoke to my ex husband about why he left and apparently he expected me to run after him and beg him to come back, because apparently I always had in the past (I didn't even realize I did that). But I just remember feeling fed up with all the crap and I was trying to change my life for the better so I accepted that things would get better and didn't ask him back. So surgery changed my whole outlook (life is getting better and I deserve more) without me even realizing! Crazy lol and now looking at him, I can't believe how I thought I wouldn't get anything better than a disrespectful, aggressive, alcoholic.

I'm feeling major food fatigue today :/ I don't even feel like eating anything lol maybe I'll do a protein shake if I get to the store
