What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Just checking in. I saw my PCP yesterday and I have 3 very large areas on my thighs and arm that are definitely infected. I'm now on a 6 day run of mega doses of steroids, antibiotics, antihistimines and hydrocorstisone cream. The result is that I not only feel like peeling my skin off with the itching, burning and oozing, I also feel really jittery, anxious and like I could eat a horse. Just trying to count down the days and hope that I don't have to do round 2, which is common with these things.

I've decided to take some time off exercising since sweating into the bandages is really gross and painful. Might try to take a walk to move but no gym time until things are cleared up.

Menu:

B: coffee w/ Miralax; DD turkey sausage wakeup wrap

S: Carbmaster yogurt

L: soup or salad from Whole Foods bar

S: Carbmaster yogurt

D: TJ's chicken sausages

S: Lactaid cottage cheese w/ raspberries & slivered almonds

Oh no Janet, feel better, this just sounds horrible and not what you need right now.

You need to "accidentally" spill gas on the poison ivy and have a friend over who smokes so they can "accidentally" throw their butt on the gas, just saying! Does cold ice packs help? I hope you get some relief soon.

Hugs

Oh no!! Good for giving yourself a break and hope you heal up quickly!

Feel better soon!

Good morning. Glad your first day went well, JB! Sounds promising after the hell you went through last year. It's shaping up to be a busy week for me, but I'm fine with that. I'd rather be busy than slow.

QOTD: Really being more mindful about everything I eat. I still may make some bad choices, but I no longer just shovel food into my mouth.

My plan:

B: Leftover tri tip

L: Ground turkey, cauliflower rice and parm (3.8.oz, 1 oz., 1 oz respectively)

D: either shrimp or bunless burger

S: Homemade latte, sliced turkey and thin sliced provolone before the gym

E: my original spin class. The schedule at hot spin is a hot mess this week, so I'm taking the opportunity to go back to my roots.

G'morning JB and menuers!

Oh wow, make that in-n-out protein style and I'm all in. Recently I've also discovered I can order protein style and animal style. It has more sauce and fat but it's oh so yummy with extra veggies and pickles.

Happy your first day was a success.

For some reason I have a hard time this week with my work mindset. MY head is still on vacation and having DD home isn't helping bcz she wants to hang out WITH ME! I wish I could be on vacation until she went back to school. After having grumpy son at home for such a long period I'm like a starving puppy that wags her tail at every little sign of affection from my kids. I have a feeling DD knows it and she is over compensating for her brother. Even the little things like a smiley face in the morning that says a chipper good morning instead of a grumpy grunt brings tears to my eyes.

QOTD: it's not small but I never thought I would survive on low carb. I did Atkins about 10-15 years ago and it wasn't pretty. But now with Miralax and adding veggies I can do this life for ever and I don't even miss rice and pasta. I miss sweets but not the other bad carbs. So accepting low carb as a lifestyle was a big game changer for me.

Accountability: on point and not veering off.

My meals for the day:

• Coffee, coffee, and more coffee
• Spaghetti sauce with turkey balls (no pasta for me)
• Taco Tuesday (no tacos)
• Home made yogurt made in my instant pot

Kelly - I made the yogurt! It's sitting in the fridge straining and cooling. It looks yum.

Have a great Tue, everyone.

Yay!! Hope the yogurt turns out.
