What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
Hi Jim - I have not had one, but I think you are right. I will need to find out where I can get one locally. Thanks!

I agree with Jim.
But if you wanna lose the weight without going lower on calories (it's unthinkable 5 years out to be at 800-900 cals) I recommend Intermittent Fasting - IF. Tons of great books out there but the best, in my opinion, is The Obesity Code by Dr Fung. Give it a try for a week or so and see if you see any movements on the scale.

I have tried IF, but not at this calorie intake. I am going to look at this book. This is the time of year I spend more time in jammies and reading! Thank you for the Idea.

I play that number game in my head all they time. Is it really about the number? You look great in your photos. But I understand husband says I got little pants and I think not little enough. Good luck of making peace with that scale.

The number drives me crazy. I try to tell myself that I am wearing the same clothes and I continue to be medication free. I think I need to have that dexa scan and then put my mind at ease and just continue to maintain where I am ( or lower)

Good Morning!
I am busting my ass over here at my new position, exhausted and barely have time to eat and do not understand why I haven't lost like 10 pounds with all the energy expenditure. Ha. Instead it is creeping the other way. Oh well. Stress?
QOTD: speaks to today's stress... I am teaching a painting class on my day off... it was arranged last month before I knew I wa****ting the pavement in my new position this week. Class itself will go fine- it is a simple painting Christmas ornament glass class... I just need to get my act together and pack the supplies.
I have always loved all types of art. So yes consider myself artistic.
After my painting class. I am going to my SIL - she decided to have a ladies night and told me to sleep over. So going to work late tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
Eats:
- Jamocha Shake
- spinach omelette
- Chicken on salad
- Ladies night ???
Ex: yes.

Good morning everyone. Today is going to be a crazy day at work. I will be happy when it is over. Our local newspaper is doing a story on me and my work. They will be taking my picture today too. I hope I don't say something stupid. I tend to overshare and word vomit when I'm nervous.
I met with the FNP at my WLS Center. I have lost 8 lbs since I was there last month. I feel good and on track. I need to lose another 20 lbs to be at goal. I would really like to lose 30 so I have some wiggle room.
QOTD- I am not artistic, but I am crafty. I love to paint walls, not pictures. I love to refinish furniture. I am the one that fixes things at my house. I have 2 weeks off for Christmas and I want to paint the living room and rearrange. I really want new furniture, we shall see.
** Not sure where AmyLiz is today, but Happy 3 year Surgiversary!! I am so very proud of you.
Food for today-
2 eggs, 1/2 c. cottage cheese with EBB seasoning
chomps at 11
leftover mushroom stuffed chicken and brussell sprouts
Some sort of baked fish. I need to see whats in the freezer.
Lots of water and hot tea, vitamins always!
I have been meaning to post a holiday message for all the regulars who haven't posted in a bit. I always worry that they won't realize we are thinking about them.
