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.

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!
You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!
