What's on your Phot Friday Menu RNY'ers?

Welcome back! Great pictures and it sounds like a wonderful trip!

Welcome back! So glad you had a great time.

Sounds like a great time! Glad you're back!

Good morning All! Looking good Peach - very professional! I miss dressing up for work a little bit (but not enough to go back).

The heat/humidity seems to have abated a little here this morning. It was only 70 (vs 80) at 7 am and the air doesn't seem as thick. It is still going to be a warm day regardless. I am going out to lunch with my two longest running friends (twins who shared the same neighborhood growing up and live near me now). Then I am taking DH to a photography exhibition where the photographer is part of the Alzheimer's group. We have seen some of his photographs previously and they really are wonderful, but his wife has to explain where they were taken now as the photographer can't remember. Probably dinner out too as we will be pretty far down the Cape at that point. Oh and I have to finish cleaning my house this morning (fun, fun).

Picture at one of our favorite beaches a couple of days ago when it was too hot to do anything else outside:

QOTD: I went to a resort in Riviera Maya with DH and 2 SILs to celebrate SIL's 65th birthday and my 60th. I was SO UNCOMFORTABLE in the heat there. I really just felt unwieldy and when I saw pictures I thought I looked like a blown up balloon. Then I went for my physical and found out I was pre-diabetic. I immediately started researching WLS and within a few months was on my journey.

Accountability: Generally good though I ate some extra cottage cheese with berries. I finally had some decaf coffee to nip my cravings in the bud last night.

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

Always lots of coffee...

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Out to lunch - probably seared tuna appetizer

D: Out to dinner - probably crab cakes

S: Siggis yogurt or homemade cottage cheese with fresh berries

I am finding that my having a decaf or hot tea at night is starting to act like a closed sign for my stomach and brain (probably more for the brain!). This makes me happy,

Yeah, I think I need to use that approach more often!

Happy FriYAY everyone! Love your new work clothes, Peach!

I saw this shirt for sale on our local Dollar Auction:

QOTD: My liver doctor (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) told me that if I didn't lose weight I would be in total liver failure within 5 - 10 years. Also my mom died and it hit me really hard (we were very close). Saralisa and I are also very close and she has no other family besides me, so I decided I wanted to do everything possible so that I wouldn't have to leave her any sooner than I had to. I'm happy to report that my blood pressure is much better, cholesterol is normal now, I'm no longer diabetic and most importantly, my liver enzymes are back to normal! My arthritis is so much better and I'm able to move around and do things with Saralisa that I couldn't do before.

PHOTO FRIDAY: Picture from last weekend's trail ride. Also planning on going horseback riding on Sunday.

Have a wonderful Friday everyone and a super weekend!

Wonderful photo of you and your pretty horse -- what is his/her name? I love the little blaze on the forehead.

Thank you. This horse's name is Rocky. It was the first time I had ridden him. He is a great horse. He's not mine, he belongs to the lady I pay to ride horses with. All of her horses are great and I love all of them.

Love the shirt and of course the riding pics always make me happy because you just are glowing.
