What's on your Wednesday menu,RNYers?

Mornin' All!

my stomach seemed to be in active rebellion yesterday, so I'm going to eat EASY things today until I'm sure it's calmed down. I had 1692 kcal on paper yesterday (that's OK since my maintenance level is 1500-1700 - and given I went out for lunch, that's actually a pretty decent total), but I lost some of that, so not sure where I actually ended up. Less than that for sure. Weight at 152.2 this morning. Yay.

nothing scheduled for today, but I have some things I need to finish up, like my organization's Web site. It's beautiful outside, so a nice long walk would be in order, too. And I have to make something for an international potluck lunch tomorrow - will do that this evening (I'm going to make these Turkish lentil/bulgur balls that have several spices in them - along with the garlic yogurt sauce that you're supposed to dip them in. They sound quick & easy but still good - my favorite type of recipe!)

4 years out:

B: three small protein pancakes, 1/3 C plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 C (no sugar added) strawberry/rhubarb sauce, coffee with half & half

MS: protein shake

L: not sure - but something my stomach can handle - maybe turkey or chicken breast slices or some cottage cheese

AS: light yogurt

D: Wednesday nights are usually sushi night, but that might be a bit much for my pouch today. I may end up doing the same thing I'm doing for lunch

ex: walking, yoga

EDITED TO ADD: I don't really have a favorite musician, although I like several. As far as genres, I like classic rock, 70's Motown/soul, some blues (esp Chicago style), folk, most bluegrass, Irish folk music, some classical.

have a great day, all!!

Good morning. Slowly working my way down to my new goal weight. Accountability mixed and working to cut my meal portion sizes and snacks down so I don't go over my protein/fat/carb targets. That's the goal for the next month.

QOTD - I have lots but my current favorite is Easton Corbin and my long-time favorite is Jethro Tull - musician would be Ian Anderson, since I do know that Tull is not a person ;)

PWO - 1/3 of protein bar (vs. 1/2); 8 almonds

B - 2 eggs, sausage

S - Small apple

L - Small salad, 3.5oz turkey breast, small apple (maybe)

D - Small salad, 3.5 oz turkey

WO - 45 min Peloton am; pm maybe a 30 min arms toning Peloton class and some corework

Good morning! I hope everyone is off to a good start to their mid-week. We are only supposed to be in the 80s the next few days which is not typical so I'm the crisp air this morning.

Accountability: I had some protein wafer things and yogurt crisps

QOTD: Kenny G

TSS: 4 years 10 months

B: SF latte, Eggbeaters, turkey sausage links and 1/2 an orange

Have a great one!

Good morning all~ Came into work early today, had a hard time sleeping last night - too much on my mind. It's going to be a long day. After work I'm going to visit my nephew then catching a yoga class at the gym by my work before I head home which will be really late for me but I need to do this. I finally realized I was feeling guilty about taking gym time for myself when I could be home spending time with my husband and son. I can't do that anymore, I need to take care of myself. Another reason why going working out with Rob has made this easier for me take the time but I know I need to do it with or without him.

QOTD - James Taylor and Elton John are my favorites. I love acoustic guitar and piano.

Accountability - great - down .7

2 years, 7 months

b- coffee x 3 w/hh and splenda, L&F greek yogurt

l- turkey meatballs w/SF ketchup and worcestershire sauce

d- eggbeaters w/salsa

s - yogurt and whisps

e-yoga

Have a great day!

Amy, when I started thinking of gym time not as time away from family but me time so I could be better WITH my family afterwards, it totally changed my mindset towards the time spent at the gym.

I need to remember that!! Thanks, Sheila!

Good morning.

i've been In a stall for a wee bit more than a week. Super frustrating!

qotd: I am a huge music fan. I tend to like hard rock & metal. Corey Taylor is one of if not my favorite musician. He is the lead man on Stone Sour and Slipknot. I really listen to just about any genre. I love bluegrass too at times.

m1:PP shake

m2:broccoli & cheese light soup

m3:1 egg

m4:1 oz turkey breast lunch meat 1tsp dressing

m5:PP shake

m6:1 egg

I had another day of good choices. I avoided the retirement party by going walking. I did about 1.25 miles, came back and ate my Greek yogurt and read my book. I also avoided the candies laying around in the office so I felt pretty good. But a rice krispies treat found it's way as my evening snack. Ended up at 847 calories, 61 protein, 32 fat & 83 carbs. The carbs were a bit high, but I still felt good about it. The scale rewarded me with another 2lb drop, so I'm only 3lbs up from posted weight. I was really up 7lbs but couldn't face that number. I have upped my water so I was at about 100 oz yesterday. I met my 10000 step goal, second day in a row.

I've also decided to start back at the gym. I've been avoiding it for far too long. For two reasons, first I gained so much weight (couldn't face my skinny picture posted on the wall as a success story) and second my personal trainer committed suicide and I haven't been able to face going there. I know I could go to another location but that one is where I have felt comfortable, had successes and know people. So I am making a plan to do it.

QOTD- So many Jimmy Buffet, Bruce ****burn, John Lee Hooker, Hozier, Sarah McLachlan, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, and tons more. I love music and use it to de-stress and avoid the noise at work.

Have a great Hump Day everyone!

It'd great that you're going back to the gym! Well done on your intake and scale victories! Sorry about your personal trainer.

So glad that you're feeling better.
