What's on your Wednesday Menu RNY'ers?

Morning all!! So Monday was just a dark day. It rained- like Noah's Ark type rain, and I had to go to a funeral for a coworker's Mom. Finding parking was awful, then i had to slosh thru the rain to the church and back- my shoes were soaked!! And then I got an early call informing me one of my employees i've been seeing performance issue with has been leaving work during the day to go to the casino. I was livid, and I have to move work around because her work is too critical and she's doing to poorly with it. I spoke to her hoping she'd just fess up- but she says she just doesn't remember where she's been going during the work day. We have an inspectors office that I will report her to as well. Somedays I wish I worked at the Mall.

So it's hump day!! Qotd: branching off my employees apparent gambling issue-- do you gamble? Do you hit up the casinos? Just slot machines or the tables too? Lottery? Horse racing? ??

I don't do casino's, I don't get the lure. When we went to Vegas I lost $20 in slots and that was enough for me. Only card games I know are go fish and war-- so tables are out for me. I have bet on the Belmont stakes-- knowing nothing about horse racing- cause someone else was going and offered to put in a bet for me. I won too- nothing big. I rarely and randomly play lottery.

no weight today-- not up yet, 3.3 years out

m1: egg, bacon 4slices, cheese stick

m2 ham/cheese roll up

m3 chicken chunks 4oz, protein bar

m4: ?? Chicken maybe

Ugh that is a rough go so far this week peach!

im having a quick coffee then getting ready for the airport! We leave for Vancouver today.

qotd: no. I don't get it. I literally spent 2$ gambling in Vegas when I went. I think setting money on fire is more entertaining.

i have played roulette before, it's a little bit fun? But not really.

I have also seen too many people in my family and extended circle spend waaayyy too much money on the slots. That kind of addiction scares me. You only hear about it when they are up.

If an aunt tells me she won 300$, I'm that person who has to ask how much she put in to get it...

food has always been my vice of choice.

menu:

B: coffee and premier

The rest of the day is up in the air, but protein forward!

Safe travels and have fun!

Enjoy your conference and then vacation!!

Morning! Trying to post so that I have 1/2 a shot at remembering to eat... Not going well so far--I "ate breakfast" at 6pm yesterday when I looked at my bag.

Its funny--surgery is great for not having an appetite but being this busy is really a down side when I don't get hunger signals to remind me to eat. Crazy, right? I never thought I would be that person...

QOTD: Nope never. I didn't even play a penny in Vegas last year. I went to one of the Casinos in CT when they opened and it was so SAD. Everyone there was on an oxygen tank or on chemo and it felt like such a desperate environment--not the high rollers you see in Bond movies. It really turned me off to the idea of gambling and I never went back. Also, I know that I have a very competitive personality and I could get caught up in it too easily.

B: Fit Frappe Mocha coffee with hot coffee

L: Cheese & salami slices

D: Not sure--if I have time I want to go out to Happy Hour with staff! But it's more likely that I will be eating a Fage Cherry Greek Yogurt at my desk.

So sorry that things are still so stressful for you. I hope that you can work out a routine soon that takes better care of you.

hi all

day 2 of modified schedule, im surviving, lots of coffee. I did get my workout in, came home, cooked shephards pie (no mashed potato for me) then went to bed at 6pm, up at 1am.

QOTD: i like the machines but in GA we don't have casino so we have to play on vacation.

Food for today:

protein pancakes

coffee

powerade zero

not sure on dinner guess I better think on that...

Glad you are hanging in there, how long are you on this schedule?

2 more days!!

Morning all!

Peach, that sounds really difficult to deal with. I hope that things work out in the end, but sometimes people aren't able to turn things around until its too late.

Yesterday was a crazy day for me and every time I thought I could post, something else would come up. Today will most likely be another busy stressful day, but I brought clothes along to hopefully take some time in the work gym at lunch. If that doesn't work, I can do a workout when I get home, but by then I know I'll be burnt out and just want to crash!

My toe is still painful and I'm thinking of taking a few hours off on Friday to get some work done on the car and to run to Urgent Care to have it x-rayed. It's been more than 2 1/2 weeks and it still hurts pretty badly. Fingers crossed that it isn't really damaged, just slow healing.

QOTD: I don't get the urge to gamble. I've bought lottery tickets a few times over the years and 2 or 3 times put bets on a sports game. I have no desire to go to Vegas or Atlantic City, etc. because there is nothing that I'm interested in. The chances of winning are just crazy and I don't need to lose the money.

Weight is at 122 this morning and I like to keep it under 120 or a little lower. May be from more weight training or not as much cardio in the last few weeks. Not super worried, but going to take a bit more control of what goes in my mouth.

Menu:

B1: vanilla Premier Protein shake, coffee

B2: scrambled eggs, turkey sausage patty

S: Cappuccino or Lemonade protein shake, chomps

L: fish, salad or SweetGreen salad with grilled chicken

S: chomps

D: not sure

Exercise: weight day in the gym
