What's on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

Its mid week friends, only two days to go to the weekend! How are you all? I am good. Still bitter cold here and it makes running errands and leaving the house a real chore. But they are calling for a warm up this weekend and rain.

Accountability: great, no BLT's, had a small pouch day yesterday

QOTD: What do you drink to get your liquids in each day and what is the amount of ounces you strive to get? I drink 2 caffeinated coffees a day plus 4-6 decaf coffees a day and the rest of the day its plain water preferably ice cold water. I strive for 152oz a day which is equal to 19 8oz glasses. Because I hike daily and workout a lot I need that amount of liquids or I don't feel right.

TSS: 5 yrs + 3 mos

B: scrambled eggs & pico de gallo

L: grilled chicken over salad greens with balsamic glaze

S: deli meat roll ups (oven roasted turkey breast & swiss cheese with mustard)

D: grilled chicken tenders with BBQ sauce

S: homemade protein shake (vanilla protein powder, fairlife milk, strawberries)

V: patches are on + oral B12

E: 10km hike with the dogs in the snow

L: at minimum 150oz

Morning all! Certainly not Canadian cold here but very cold and 30+ mph winds on top of it. Brrrr! Sunny though with bright blue sky!

QOTD: I too have found that I need to stay super hydrated to feel healthy. I almost always get in 120 oz but especially when I work out in the summer I can get 200 or more. I usually have 2-3 cups of black coffee, I really try to get in 64 oz of plain water (a 32 oz bottle morning and afternoon), 32 oz of PowerAde Zero after I work out and usually a couple of glasses of unsweetened ice tea.

I also wanted to see if anyone would like some Syntrax Nectar Protein powder in grape or orange. DW used to drink it and we have several partial cans. I don't really like those flavors and would like to pass them along to someone who would use them. I'd be happy to mail them to you. PM me if you're interested.

Accountability: I had 3 bites of Sicilian Pistachio Gelato last evening. SOOOO good and I certainly won't buy it again.

Menu:

B: coffee, HB eggs

S: Chomps

L: chick pea salad, fish?

S: Chomps, apple

D: TJ's salmon patty, salad

E: half hour cyber session with my trainer, hopefully 30 minutes on the elliptical at lunch

I wish I could drink PowerAide or Gatorade or use the water enhancers like Crystal lite, they have citric acid in them and that gives me mouth cankers!

Pistachio gelato sounds yummy, I love all things pistachio. Sucks when you find something yummy because you just know you will binge on it and it need to not be in the house!

OMG it was heavenly! It was a small container and I almost talked myself into eating the WHOLE THING because there wasn't that much...! Just a reminder that surgery was on my stomach and not my brain!

Janet, I found a pistachio extract that I've put into plain greek yogurt (and also in my coffee) that really has a nice pistachio zing. I'm watching Amy's ice cream experiment because I'm thinking it could be a very nice ice cream flavor...not quite gelato but could work:-)

Me too...watching Amy's icecream experiment.

Not so much for a flavor but just because it's icecream.

I used to occasionally mix some SF/FF pistachio pudding mix in my plain Greek yogurt for a yummy dessert - that was great, too. Haven't done that in awhile...

I pistachio gelato!!! My favorite! I've never heard of pistachio extract! Maybe added to vanilla PP? hum... Ice cream brain is churning!

Where did you get the extract?

I found it at the spice shop near my house but I checked and it's also available on Amazon (there's even a set with pistachio, walnut, hazelnut and almond)
