What's on your Thursday menu,RNYers?

Good morning menu friends! Lily and I were short a walk yesterday due to the weather. Otherwise accountability was spot on. Weight today is 123.2. We will do at least 2 walks today but that will be all as we are leaving Camp Indicoso today at noon to head 5 hours away to Elkart Indiana to work for 3 weeks in a boys home in Goshen. Lots of packing up and moving to be accomplished before then too. I'm proud of myself that this year I posted every day I was here. Internet is sketchy here and this is where I went off the rails last year. This year I posted,maintained my weight and even dropped a tiny bit. Accountability is really key for my continued success. Here's the food plan B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L P3 pack D 4 oz Turkey burger with cheese. I'll try my best to hit 100 ounces of fluids too. Have a great day full of smart and healthy choices everyone@ Time for coffee now!

Morning!

Such terrible weather through out the country with flooding and tornadoes, stay safe!!

Today is the anniversary of my Lap (crap) Band, 12 years ago, my 1st journey into WLS, Yikes!!

TSS 2 yr 8 mo

B: coffee w/ sf coffee mate, ham, egg, cheese scramble

L: left over venison chili, grape tomatoes, lettuce, greek yogurt

D: meaty pasta sauce over zoodles

S: HM greek yogurt, sliced strawberry

Mornin' All!

I'm going to set up shop at a coffee place later on this morning so I actually do some of these little things that have been on my to-do list forever. None of them particularly critical, but I've been feeling pretty unproductive lately, and also, I just need to get some of these things crossed off my list already! Then lunch with a friend. Later...?? If it's not raining, I definitely need to do some walking!! At least my gym membership starts up again this weekend (I had it suspended for two months since I had surgery - no sense paying for it if I can't use it). That should help!

Accountability has been great the last couple of days. Lunches out today and tomorrow. Yikes. I suggested one of those authentic taquerias to the friend I'm meeting with today, so that's where we're going. They have those meat-only tacos on those little 4.5" corn tortillas, so I can usually work around those the rest of the day and come out OK calorie-wise at the end of the day, even if I eat the tortilla. So...that's what we're doing.

3 years 11 months out:

B: homemade coconut Greek yogurt with mango pieces (may have protein pancakes instead - I can't decide. It'd be more calories, but not too many...), coffee with half & half

MS: protein shake

L: either two tacos or one taco with a side of beans

AS: light yogurt or raw veggies with ranch Greek yogurt dip

D: leftover sushi

have a great day, all!

Good morning all! Back online and in the saddle...sorta!

Karen, I just want to tell you how REALLY proud I am of you this year. You learned from last year and made the changes that were needed. Way to go!! Also wanted to tell you that I lived in Goshen for about 4 months MANY years ago. Really one of the worst times of my life ever. Hope your time there is great though.

In most excellent personal news, after MUCH study, I passed my exam and I'm now officially a certified personal trainer. Such a HUGE personal victory after 30 years of being SMO and totally sedentary. It is certainly a real and positive change in my life thanks to WLS & making changes.

I celebrated my pass yesterday with a cookie (not the best choice, but I refuse to shame myself on one cookie), a massage and 4 10# weight plates. Certainly a relatively well rounded reward for lots of hard work!

Menu: back to plan, although I did pretty well over the last 2 weeks since I spent alot of time packing my food and then being secluded for the whole day...limited choices until I got home in the evening...

B: coffee with Miralax and a splash of CarbMaster milk, then 2 oz of TJ ham, 1/2 cup plain oatmeal w/ blueberries & slivered almons

S: Syntrax Nectar Ice Tea protein shake

L: leftover chicken curry & roasted brussels sprouts

S: turkey breast, small apple

D: not sure. It's really hot & humid today so maybe a salad with TJ's grilled chicken

E: I'd like to go for a walk but I'm thinking about going to the pool instead.

Congratulations! Good for you.

Food has no Moral value- No Guilt. If you make a choice, just enjoy it.

I picked my fave...white chocolate, macadamia nut...and savored every bite! Completely enjoying it. But I only bought one, not a whole box, so there will be no more. It is part of planning and making choices in a lifelong journey.

BTW, have you thought of getting certified? I think you'd be great at it!

Congratulations, Janet! You worked so hard for this and its well deserved.

Thanks Jim. I know you understand about the changes and the difference it makes in your entire life!

congratulations!!
