What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

LOL "controlling things makes me happy"...soul sister!

Its snowing in the ski mountains in Utah.

Hi all and happy Thursday! I've got a bunch of meetings today, including one with a particularly demanding client that's been giving some SERIOUS scope creep. Not super looking forward to it, but at least I can relax tonight once that's all done.

Accountability: Not too bad. We ended up having chicken alfredo last night, I ate the chicken and had a couple of noodles. Shouldn't have done that, next time I just won't have husband put any in my dish at all.

QOTD: I'd say I'm probably Doc. I tend to wrangle people (I'm a manager at work and have some leadership in roller derby) and be pretty positive about it.

Chow 5 weeks out

B: Fairlife

L: Salami and cheese stick

D: not sure, maybe IP crack chicken?

S: maybe yogurt?

E: I'd love to take my bike out on my lunch break, but it's going to be hotter than yesterday and the temperature yesterday almost killed me, so I only did 5.5mi. I'm thinking I'll see if Nolan is up to playing in the childcare area at the gym and attend aqua aerobics tonight.

I hope the meeting goes well.

Thanks! It ended up going really well, they only need minor additions to the stuff I'm working on and the conversation was really positive :)

Awesome! Go you!!!

Hi JB and Menuers,

I finally got my blood draw. I am a very hard stick and I fasted 2 days last week only to leave without them getting a single drop. I think it was because I was so cold. I know I am a hard stick so I hydrate a lot when I know I have blood work. They got me on the 3 stick today. I wore a winter coat and it's 78° so it must have helped.

Yesterday I had a bad afternoon. I ate some of that Stilton Blueberry cheese and the blueberry skin got stuck. I had the foamies and took about an hour and a half to dislodge it. I felt better as soon as I got it up. However I was very sluggish and drained so I did not make it to they gym.

QOTD: I am a Doc I am the one who holds the fort down when it comes to the home front and in the big scheme of family I am always consulted on planing. If I am in an exercise class I am front and center (even before surgery) I am very vocal I love to be heard and now after surgery I like to be seen as well.

Accountability: I had a Fit Crunch Cinnamon Twist Protein bar before bed that I did not eat at lunch . I did wake up a little lighter today I was 140.2 this morning.

TSS 1 year 9 months 1 day

B: Drank 30 oz of water while fasting for blood work

CB: Dark roast coffee with and SF Aldi vanilla Caramel with Miralax and fiber

MS L&F pumpkin pie Greek yogurt and Sous Vide turkey Egg bite.

L: chicken salad left over porksteak and a carrot,

D: French onion meatloaf and butternut squash with brown butter and onion jam drizzle.

LS Gloria Jeans toffee coffee w/SF Aldi French Vanilla creamer.

Exersise: 30 min elliptical

Everybody have a great Day.

Brightest Blessings,

Chrissy

Oh man I feel your pain with the blood draw. I am much better now, post-op, but pre-op I had some nightmare tries to draw blood. Once at an ER visit, they got desperate after a million tries, and took it from behind my knee!

Sorry you got stuck. Not sure if there is a worse feeling in the world (except unsuccessful blood draws, lol). Hope today is a better day!

I came down with pneumonia after my WLS and they had to use a Doppler to get a vein. I always thought I was a hard draw do to the fat but they say I just have tricky veins. Even Central Blood Bank ask me not to give blood.

Good morning~ Good luck with your commute today! I complain about my commute sometimes, but seriously it's nothing compared and I'm rarely delayed more than 10 minutes. I'm out of the office all next week so I need get to work and prepare.

QOTD - I'm all of them at any given time. Work mode - I'm always Doc. Otherwise it's a crap shoot!

Accountability - I enjoyed a few treats yesterday- no regrets!

Exercise - not today - I'm working late + football tonight
