What are you eating RNYers? Wednesday Edition

Thanks, Em. I'm going to stick with black for the weeklong challenge and then figure our what to do going forward. These nut milks sound like a good compromise.

I don't know if it helps or not but i do two measured ounces of Premier Protein (vanilla, chocolate or cookies and cream) in my coffee when I'm giving up cream/half and half. It lightens it a little and gives a bit of a protein bump (I got the idea from other people on the menu threads early on).

Well done on evading the cream wraiths! I'm the opposite - I just started using half 'n half in my coffee and tea, occasionally. I used to use cashew milk - only 25 calories per 8-oz. glass! I think I will pick some up again today, and revert. The half 'n half is luxurious, but unnecessary.

I generally have my one go-big-or-go-home latte in the morning and then I use cashew milk in everything else. Cannot beat 25 calories a cup and I like the substance to it better than almond milk.

Oh good idea! That sounds like a perfect compromise! I agree about the cashew milk - it has a creamier quality than almond milk, and it's marvelously inexpensive, calorie-wise.

Good morning,menu friends! Gloomy cold day here in Illinois but Lily and I have our 4 miles in already--even though I was not very eager. We'll do another mile before suppeeres r too.So excited to hear about your new job,Cynthia. I just know you'll do great. QOTD my challenges are to get back down to 120 pounds and drink at least 100 ounces of liquids a day. Since lots of it is decaf coffee I will limit creamer to only my first cup of the day to cut down calories. Accountabiity was great step and food wise yesterday and weight is 125.4 today. Here's todays food B1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 1 slice deli turkey 1 slice cheese 3 grape tomatoes D 1 c chili and cheese S meat stick. Have a great day full of smart choices everyone! Coffee time!

I know that it is a struggle to lose the regain, but you are headed in the right direction and I'm proud of you!

Thanks!

Have a great one!

I did 15 minutes on the elliptical! At first, I thought my legs were going to spontaneously combust but as I went on it got better. Seems I have tweaked my knee a little and I am laying off of running/walking for a bit and the elliptical is the way for me to go. I commend you for any time you spend on that machine!
