Whats on your Sunday menu RNYers?

Good morning menu friends! Lily and I have our long walk in already in order to beat the heat later in the day. We will do 2 more walks later . Accountability was spot on food and stepwise yesterday and weight is 123.2 today. Only plans for today is church in a bit. QOTD who is your favorite author mine is JA Jance. Food for today B 1/2c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 4 ounces deli chicken with cheese slice D 4 oz ground beef with cheese no bun S if needed 2 oz pork rinds. Have a great day full of smart and conscious choices everyone! Time for coffee!

Good morning all!

went to urgent care yesterday to confirm upper respiratory infection due to allergies and got a z-pak and allergy shot. The shot must have been exactly what I needed-woke up for the first time in 3 weeks without a sinus headache and feel fantastic (still have a chest rattle and coughing)! Doctor doesn't think I'm absorbing regular OTC allergy meds so they weren't as effective at controlling my symptoms.

Im waking up in a Hard Rock hotel in my hometown--we came for a concert last night that didn't get over until after midnight and have another one tonight, but it won't go as late and we'll head home. I'm getting a pedicure with my mom today, and probably visiting my grandma in the nursing home.

Breakfast: going to check out the World Tour brunch buffet here. I realize buffets are a bit wasted on us now, but some family is meeting us here, so it's more about the experience. I'm planning on keeping it protein forward.

Lunch/dinner: due to late breakfast/brunch, we'll likely only have one later meal, and it sounds like DH is in love with my favorite taco place here too, so I think it will be fish tacos.

I love fish tacos even though they don't have them much around home. When we travel though I have them at every opportunity!

I love them, too!!

Mornin'!

yesterday was a glorious day - we walked around the zoo (hadn't been there in years!) and in the neighorhood surrounding it, then stopped at a cute local coffee place. I had a chai latte which I didn't need - but it was great. Today....??? Not sure, but I definitely need to do more walking. I'm also making yogurt and we'll be grilling tonight. I'm tempted just to do it on my stove (we have a gas stove with a grill in the center of the stovetop- and I also have a grill pan I can use on a burner instead - that is, if we want grill marks...). Our outdoor grills are all charcoal. I love the taste of food cooked on a charcoal grill, but it's such a mess to clean up. Oh well, we'll see... I bought some of those new-fangled plant-based "hamburgers" yesterday (Beyond Beef), and I'm really excited to grill them. Plus I bought some corn-on-the-cob, which I'll grill as well. I'm sure it was sent from far away and therefore not as good as locally grown, but if I make the Mexican version with chili lime powder, it might not be obvious.

QOTD: I'm not a fiction reader, so I'm not sure! Sadly, I don't think I've read any fiction in probably 10 years, believe it or not...

3 years 11 months out:

B: protein pancakes with 1/3 C plain Greek yogurt and 1/2 C homemade strawberry/rhubarb sauce, coffee with half & half

MS: protein shake

L: a couple of pieces from an avocado sushi roll, deli turkey

AS: protein pumpkin pie OR light yogurt OR raw veggies with ranch/Greek yogurt dip

D: Beyond Burger on a thin multi-grain "bun" (looks more like an English muffin - size-wise, anyway!) with lettuce, tomato, and reduced-fat mayo, corn on the cob with reduced-fat mayo + chili lime powder

have a great day, all!!

Good morning weekenders! So far it's been a cozy lazy morning. Since it's raining, no hike today. We are going to lunch and bowling this afternoon, should be fun. I saw Aladdin with my son yesterday and I thought it was great. I was so disappointed with Beauty and the Beast that I didn't have high hopes, but it was a lot of fun!

QOTD - my favorite has always been Jane Austin, but I'm more of a non-fiction reader in general.

Accountability - fresh cherries and too many almonds!

B-coffee and protein pancake

l-chicken breast and side salad or lettuce wrapped burger

d-BBQ chicken breast, asparagus

s-beef jerky

Have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning to you too!

QOTD: Do I really have to pick only one?!? I just can't. My top authors are J.D. Robb, Tosca Lee, Raymond Feist, and Randy Alcorn- with heartfelt apologies to the remaining!

Accountability was great yesterday.

B: chicken breast cutlet with gravy

MS: HB egg

L: 4 oz tilapia with lemon, with some sort of veg

AS: pickled brussel sprouts

D: marinated (poultry) roast (I swear, I'm going to be clucking by the time I have the surgery!)

Activity: stairs today, and of course, out with the dog this evening.

I'm so completely exhausted. I feel so tired! Having a hard time getting my steps in with that and hip pain.

qotd: Tolkien

m1:shake

m2:cottage cheese

m3:shake mixed with decaf cold brew coffee

m4:yogurt

m5:cream of mushroom soup with fairlife milk.

might have a popsicle or crushed ice.

Good afternoon Karen! How warm is it where you are? We are about 75 today which is as warm as it has gotten this spring from what I understand. My DD was here visiting until mid-afternoon. We sorted through some boxes, she took a bunch of stuff for her new apartment, and some is staged for trash pickup.

QOTD: Probably Jodi Picoult. I am fond of JA Jance's books too.

3 years, 2 months post-op. About 15 pounds above desired weight range but still in normal BMI (had dropped about half of the 15 prior to SIL's diagnosis but gained it back - definitely a stress eater)

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: crab cakes and Cole slaw

D: low-carb crustless pizza

S: sweetened cottage cheese

We are near Bloomington Indiana and it's upper 80s and low 90s here with high humidity too. Your lunch sounds delicious. I love good crab cakes! We're here till Thursday and then head to Goshen Indiana about 41/2 hours away in northeast Indiana.
