Wha's on your menu today (Tuesday) RNYers?
on 3/5/19 11:37 am
You all probably know this already, but bunnies, eggs, etc., all very much a part of our Christian Easter celebration, but are actually older, pre-Christian symbols of fertility and the renewal of life after the struggle to endure winter. The changeable date of Easter itself is determined by the sun and the moon - Easter occurs on the first Sunday following the first full moon to occur after the Spring Equinox. So our Easter traditions are both solar and lunar, and a mix of both pre-Christian and Christian. Kind of cool, no?
Quick post, I have to catch my train and I am off to a slow start this morning.
QOTD: I am almost 100% Irish descent, both sides of both families Ireland to Boston. Only my generation is starting to spread out in the world. With that said, St. Patricks has never been a big holiday. We will have Corned Beef and Cabbage and Probably I will get my sons shamrock shakes if they ask.
Breakfast: Bratwurst
Snack:Protein bar
Lunch: Beef
Snack: Light and Fit
Dinner: Chicken Fajita stuff
Have a great day, all.

Good morning! Getting ready to head to the dentist for a routine cleaning before work.
Qotd: I'm at least 50% irish, my maternal grandparents were Irish immigrants. We used to celebrate with a big family gathering for corned beef and cabbage dinner, but now that my grandma is in assisted living, we don't anymore. I'd love to carry on the tradition, but I live in a different town and I don't think they'd travel for dinner.
Breakfast: probably just Premier in my coffee after the dentist
lunch: didn't check the menu, but I might go with a salad today anyway with some diced chicken. My weight is stalled again so I really want to watch the calories. While the catered work lunches generally have good protein options, I'm really only guesstimating for inputting into MFP.
dinner: tuna packet, cottage cheese
REALLY need to push fluids today. I've been bad at that and may be a reason why I'm stalled again

Good Morning all!
Thank you for all the compliments yesterday, I wasn't looking for them but appreciate them. I hope my post made sense- I tried to edit but OH wasn't having it. :/
Fear of regain can be crippling and become physically and mentally unhealthy. And just to be transparent so when you looked at that picture and said I looked great... know that from my lowest- the number I only saw for a split second- I have gained 30 pounds - and from where I had been maintaining a solid 20-25. So not a small amount. In my brain would I like to lose 10-15 pounds because I fixate on the number the scale says? You bet. Is it necessary for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness? Nope. Do I still fear the slippery slope? Yes. For now working on my brain and staying the course.
QOTD: Don't really celebrate St Patty's Day, but do love to make Irish Soda Bread.

Good morning!
Yesterday seemed to fly by for me too. I didn't sleep the greatest and I rarely have to get up to use the washroom, but I did this morning a half hour before my alarm was to go off. I managed to drift asleep again for 20, but gave up with a few minutes to spare. It was cold again this morning, at -20. I debated the walk, then decided to drive. 10 years of not having a 2nd car, I think now that I have a little 4cyl, I am liking not being frozen for half the day at work. That's the worst feeling. I'll just up the gym trips on those days I don't walk.
The menu is good. Basically the same as yesterday except I've added an oz of cheese to my salad for lunch.
QOTD: We don't really observe St Patrick's Day as there aren't any drinkers in the house. Even looking back I never really did go out. My wife is Irish descent, but her whole family isn't really into it either. I don't have a lick of Irish in me that I know of.
Have a good day!
Remember, no matter where you go.......there you are.
G'morning Daisy & Menu peeps,
Another rainy day here aNd the temps are in low 50s so I'm not complaining at all compared to the rest of you.
QOTD: no Irish in me but DH has some Irish. Our last name is Irish. We used to go out before kids but afterward it became a school/classroom decoration thing. This year it just so happens we (couple of gf + I) got tickets to Hamilton in SF on 3/17. San Francisco is crazy on Patty's day so we will be part of celebrations whether we want it or not.
B: protein coffee
L: last batch of Costco meatballs
S: parm cheese
D: chicken fajita (Trader Joe's)
Happy Tuesday, everybody.

I'm sure we will, even if it's not the original cast.
It was a real hassle getting the tix. When they went on sale, you had to log in and you would be given a number in this virtual line. I was like 135,000th in line. Thank god I work from home so I just stayed with it, minimized the screen and got busy with work. From about 8:00 am I was finally able to get the tix around 2:30 pm. We heard horror stories that ppl were being logged off hence kicked out of the line after long waits.
