What is on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

I made protein pancakes for the first time this morning - they were a bit dry but good - and SUPER filling (I added a little oatmeal flour to them - that plus the protein probably filled me up). Next time I'll add a little more plain yogurt or cashew milk to moisten them up a bit. They were about the same calorie-wise as my usual breakfast (homemade Greek yogurt with homemade fruit compote), so I was really happy about that! I can see making these on the weekends sometimes. My husband really liked having them (he usually eats Cheerios for breakfast). Plus I like the fact they were so filling!

Good Morning! Daisy, so sorry you're dealing with another migraine. I have been hoping you would find relief by removing some of the foods you have.

Accountability: I added a small bowl of chili with my dinner that my hubby made. No evening snacks.

QOTD: Favorite was probably math and least was history.

Time since surgery: 4 years 5 months

B: SF latte, eggbeaters, ½ an orange and 2 turkey sausage links

L: Albacore lettuce wraps and baby carrots

S: Boiled egg, pork rinds, carbmaster cottage cheese, and SF almond milk latte

D: 5 small meatballs. Spaghetti squash topped with Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese broiled until all melty on top, sliced fruit, and 2 squares dark chocolate

ES: Homemade Greek yogurt with SF syrup and ¼ cup fiber cereal

E: An hour stair climber and 35 mins of elliptical this morning

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1261 Protein:117 Carbs:92 Fat:54

Have a great one!

An h-o-u-r on the stair climber? You are a machine. I looked at the stair climber today when I was at the gym and, nope, just no, I don't think I could make it 5 minutes. But now, I will have to try at least for a minute.

I wonder if it's the same type of machine...looks like an escalator? I don't go too fast cause I would fall off but I have a buddy I chat with on Wednesday's which is nice cause the time seems to fly by.

Would you post a picture? I'm curious.

I hope this pic isn't huge since I can't resize from my phone.

I've never seen one like that...still an hour? Wow!

Daisy so sorry you are still having a migraine, I've only ever had one in my life and could not function or be exposed to any light. I can't imagine going through that again. I really hope you can figure out what is triggering them and get rid of them for good, or at least a long time.

It's only in the 30's here, but seems cold to me. The rest of you in the real cold would probably laugh at me for wearing long underwear under my jeans to work, and yes I work in an office and sometimes have to go outside. But I just get too cold if I don't. Plus I have a little heater under my desk that I turn on occasionally. My goal in life is to live where it never gets cold. I imagine myself as Scarlett O'hara raising my fist and saying "with God as my witness I will never be cold again!"

Accountability has been terrible lately, too much ahi jerky. I know it's protein, but too much salt and sugar in it. I can tell I'm retaining water from the sodium, so no weight today. I need to quit eating it, or only a measured portion. I also need to quit having wine at night, it is too easy to use it for the wrong reasons and because work sucks is not a good enough reason.

QOTD- I liked math but not the teacher, and geometry was not my favorite. Loved band and stage band and chorus, also English and drama. When I got to college I fell in love with calculus.

Here is my confession I have not been logging my food. I know I need to but I'm just burned out on doing it. I too am not sleeping well, unless I take Lunesta of which I have a really limited supply. I dream about work and how to fix the issues on the job from hell. In the over 2 1/2 years I've been working here I've never worried about my job until now. One of my favorite people was let go, he was in California taking care of his 92 year old mother with Alzheimer's. Before he left Oregon he made an agreement to do everything he could remotely and that he would only work 20 hours a week. So less than a month into it, he was supposed to return next month they let him go. It was definitely political the person they brought in used to be his boss and has had it in for him and managed to take his job.

He was one of the people I could always talk to, and could depend on him to make me laugh. He also helped me a ton, and had the contacts and relationships with contractors and developers to get things done without me having to be involved. I could always count on him and I will really miss him. It is sad when you can't trust the people you work with, and feel like you have to always be on guard and worry about what you say.

Have a great hump day everyone!

I confess too that I have been eating popcorn every night for a snack and I don't track it. I need to get it out of the house. I haven't used MFP to actually track things for a long time and I need to get back to it. Do you want an accountability buddy? We can check in here daily.

Sorry about your work mate. Sounds like a sad situation for all involved.

Oh Daisy, you poor thing! I cannot believe you have this chronic pain and can't get rid of it. This makes me so sad. Unfortunately I have zero solutions for you. I wish I could make the migraines go away!!!

QOTD: MATH. The worst. I hated every second of geometry, algebra 1 and algebra 2. I never took a math class beyond the three required years in high school. The worst part is, now I am suffering through 7th grade math with Ethan, and I have to relearn every single concept and watch Khan Academy videos with him. It hasn't escaped his notice that I don't know how to calculate the area of a parallelogram, and he has asked me, "If you don't even know this, why do I have to learn it?". Honestly, as I watch him suffer through long division by hand, I do think, in this day and age where everyone has a mini computer in their pocket, do we really need to teach long division? Or would division suffice?

And my favorite classes hands-down were always Spanish and pretty much all the liberal arts classes. I majored in Cultural Anthropology and Spanish.

B: 4 oz Boars Head Ever Roast deli chicken, 1 oz cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp onions in mustard sauce on the side

L: Leftover skillet chicken thighs with onion and mustard sauce

D: TBD. I am home alone! Kris like NEVER travels but he has an overnight work trip and I am ecstatic since I never get to be home alone lol.

E: My very last class at my gym since it closes tomorrow :( 6-7:30 Toning and Cardio

Daisy, feel better. Stay warm and snuggle with the fur babes! XO
