What's on your Saturday menu?

Happy Saturday all! I have so much I need to do today...need to go pick out my new glasses, groceries, go by moms, clean, laundry etc. I just don't feel like doing any of it. Last night was rough with stomach cramps all night and this morning my head is killing me. I really need to get it together though so I can get stuff done!

We ended up not going out for sushi last night because I failed to realize until the last minute that the sushi place I like still wasn't allowing people to dine in so we went to a local seafood place instead. I was still good and ordered the scallops and a salad, but it wasn't that great to be honest. Later we went to a park and walked around a lot! So it was nice getting some much needed exercise in.

Accountability was pretty good yesterday aside from the little piece of moms leftover red velvet birthday cake I had. Hopefully all the walking I did made up for it. So I do have a little NSV....I tried on a pair of size 10 pants yesterday fully expecting them to be wayyy too snug and not being able to button them, but they actually fit quite nicely with some extra room! I don't think I've ever been in a size 10...at least not that I can remember!

QOTD: oh yes I talk to myself all the time and to my cats. Lol. Usually when I talk to myself it's when I've done something stupid and I'm like..."well that was dumb" or "why did you do that for?" Lol

B: coffee w/Splenda & sf creamer x 2

B2: protein shake (premier protein shake mixed with a frozen banana)

L: Either another protein shake or some turkey breast and a laughing cow cheese

D: leftover salmon and broccoli

S: L&F Greek yogurt and fruit

I am sitting on my screened in porch with the kitten asleep in my lap....I so don't want to get up. Lol

Hope your headache gets better!

Congratulations on your size 10's! I shot through whole groupings of sizes on my way down because the size changes were happening faster than I realized. It's so thrilling! Well done!

Hello my RnY friends! Happy Saturday!

just a quick note today - my weight loss is going really well and I?m chuffed! After literally months of hovering I have finally taken the bull by the horns. I think I?ll be back at my ultimate goal by Halloween. Then I will have to really watch both calories and carb intake, with good record-keeping. I?m sure it can be done! But it clearly doesn?t happen without ongoing diligence and effort. I do have a little uncertainty if I should go back into the mid-20s or keep it slightly higher, since my DEXA scan indicated my bodyfat, both visceral and subcutaneous, was startlingly low, just 15.9, which is very low. I don?t want to have a scarecrow appearance but neither do I want to expand beyond my wardrobe. Anyway, I?m heading for 127, and then I?ll level off and see where I?m at.

First: two big mugs of coffee, with cashew milk

B: AmyLu?s carmelized onion chicken burgers

L: scallops

D: Turkey. A little green salad.

S: if necessary, 1 ounce of SF jerky.

Plus a ton of tea!

Have yourselves wonderful Saturday!

edited to include the QOTD:

I'm constantly talking to my cats and any other animals around me. I talk to birds I encounter when I'm out and about. And I'm also constantly talking to myself, reminding myself of things, working out how best to respond to situations, etc.

Melody, I'm sorry you're dealing with that pain. I know it can be exhausting. Hope you feel better, and sleep well tonight.

I've lived by myself WAY too long lol... I talk to myself ALL THE TIME- sometimes , even in front of Actual People!

The other day, I had an electrician and his helper here hardwiring the electric and making a new 50 Amp circuit to my new electric ho****er heater ( necessary since I still have no gas to the house) ... and I started talking to myself how to connect the plumbing ( which was my job) ... they were looking around ... then said ... Are you talking to Yourself ? Who are you talking to ?

of course I blew them off laughing ... but some people Will consider you a french fry short of a happy meal if you indulge that bad habit.

I talk to my cat ALL the TIME and she ****s her head and Listens.

Then again, my cats have always had great manners ( and they learn from each other ).

For instance they make great dinner party guests - they sit one to a chair around the table ,avidly follow the conversation and never beg or put a paw on the table.

B- Ex boyfriend showed up in his massive RAM truck at the beach meeting and took m 2 breakfast ( 2 eggs over easy on toasted bun no butter) to scare away potential AA suitors . He doesn't realize I consider AA guys absolutely bonkers so there's no danger of dating there ... but I need to discourage his misplaced jealousy grrrr

Lots of skim milk sugar free chai tea

LONG Walk - it's a beautiful day and yesterday was Bitter Cold so I'm enjoying this last bit of Indian summer - walked to a private cove beach , into a marina and back - maybe 4 miles . Was HUNGRY :)

L- Commercial Lobster Bisque ( 21 grams fat a serving ) made half fat with skim milk, butter buds, chicken stock. Still lobster-y tasting but much lighter . I also added a bunch ( 1/2 cup ?) of lobster meat and its juices. Yum-mo !

S- Greek salad w fat free feta cheese , rolled up grape leaves, spicy Korean cucumber salad w black sesame seeds ( it marries really well believe it or not) and fat free blue cheese dressing .

D- party food ( playing and dancing )

Taking the ferry to Connecticut to see about a sailboat .... hey , mebbe I'll finally get out to Fire Island after all these years !

And I need to ( hand ) weed whack 165 feet x 15 feet of man-high weeds to make enough room for Hot New Guy to help take apart and stack up existing fence this week to allow dockwork and burying of "deadmen" ( telephone pole pieces buried 4 feet deep and twenty feet back that tie in the 16 foot dock walls ( thumped down) so the gravel-filled bulkhead doesn't fall into the canal) to commence .

This will give me PLENTY of whole-body exercise - probably over two days . You ever notice pretty much all farmers ( except combine drivers ) have GREAT bodies ? Thats cuz farming is REAL Work. ( why did that shock me when I achieved my lifelong dream of a tiny organic farm?)

I even vacuumed the bedroom ... ! You know as a grrrl.... when you arrange the throw pillows just so ... hmmm...

Maybe don't refer to anyone in AA (male or female) as absolutely bonkers? It's not only inaccurate, it's rude. Some of the bravest, strongest people in the world are in AA. Some of them are doctors, lawyers, philanthropists, business owners, etc.

In addition, setting some boundaries (i.e. not going to breakfast with an ex-boyfriend who decides to crash an AA meeting you yourself are attending) might be in line with your recovery as well.
