What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Are you guys in for another week of crazy hot or is it cooling off?

Not as bad for a few days with just at 100 - thank goodness. I think by next Tues we are back to 107/108.

Hi All!

Not much planned today except for some kind of exercise later this morning and Mah Jongg this afternoon. We've had a busy few days, so I'm looking forward to some down time! Also looking forward to some cooler, dryer days this week.

accountability was good yesterday

QOTD: things baking (esp bread and cinnamon rolls!) and fresh coffee brewing

4 years 1 month out:

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

MS: protein shake

L: not the world's best choice, but I've been thinking about grilled cheese sandwiches lately. Or I guess I could broil an open-faced version in the oven. With a slice of summer tomato....

AS: I'll be at Mah Jongg, but I'll take a protein bar with me just in case..

D: I have some shaved beef in the fridge, so probably that. And grilled zucchini

ex: not sure yet - but something.

morning and happy monday. The weekend was good, but extremely extremely busy. Like I didn't get 30 minutes to myself until 9:00 last night, busy. I was on plan until Saturday night. It was a friend's birthday and she wanted Mexican food. So, we went to a restaurant called El Cholo, which has been around LA for something like 70 years. They sat us at a booth near the kitchen and if you agree to take it, you get free nachos. So, while we were waiting for another friend who got stuck in traffic, I mindlessly ate nachos. Which resulted in me not really being hungry for my dinner, which resulted in a blood sugar crash (42), which resulted in me drinking some of a regular coke, which resulted in my sugar crashing yet again on the drive home. I was a mess. Yesterday was better, and today should be fine. I meal prepped and have all "on plan" foods with me.

QOTD: clean, warm, straight from the dryer laundry

My Plan:

B: Costco egg bites

L: 4.3 oz ground turkey, 1/4 cauliflower rice, parm

D: Steak and garden salad with cucumbers, tomato and radish

S: Latte. I'm supposed to meet friends from my old firm for happy hour (I'll likely have an iced tea), but if that gets cancelled, I brought gym clothes with me and will have a small plum before class

E: rest day, unless see above. I'm hoping HH doesn't get cancelled. My body could use a rest day (haven't had one in 3 weeks) but I know if it gets cancelled, I won't allow myself to take the time

Stacy, your bs crashes are so scary. You do an amazing job of dealing with what must be such a tough scenario!

I have amazing friends who know how to help me when it happens. Couldn't do it without them

First and foremost thoughts and prayers for the CA participants effected by this Gilroy tragedy.

QOTD: Coppertone Suntan Lotion it just reeks of summer and reminds me of my mother she is a big fan of sun bathing even at 81 she still puts on the bikini and gets in the pool. Also we only get 3 months of summer here I just love that smell.

I went to see the Plastic surgeon who did my skin removal after my Hernia repair in February and I am excited to report I am healed. He said I can start using the pool again I can go to Kennywood. I do not have to wear the Abdominal binder all the time. He said if I think I should when I exercise it might be a good Idea so I do not re-injure myself. I am still restricted to lifting only 20 lbs and no core exercise.

Accountability is great I had a great weekend and the scale said 143.6 this morning. OK 3 more pound to my first goal and 18 lbs till maintenance.

Exercise I'll Be running in the pool after work. Getting some sunshine on my skin.

TSS 1 year 7 months 18 days

B: Bariatric Advantage Iced Latte w/Miralax

CB: Dark roast coffee with Stevia and SF ID Caramel Macchiato

MS Sous-Vide Egg bites three cheese turkey.

L: Homemade zucchini lasagna lemon tart triple zero yogurt

D: Chicken Kabobs and Mock potatoes salad made with Cauliflower not potatoes.

LS Gloria Jeans Toffee flavored coffee with Stevia and SF French vanilla coffee mate

Everybody have a great week!

Brightest Blessings
