What's on your (photo) Friday menu RNY'ers?
OH isn't letting me upload or add photos - I will keep trying...
Good morning and Happy Friday! We made it. So nice to be home! I slept like a log and currently enjoying my favorite coffee on the couch with my fur babes. I am working a half day today so I will be able to get caught up and start fresh on Monday. This weekend is the usual errands, house stuff and watching football, but I vow to throw in weekend exercise! Yes, I am committing to doing an activity both Sat and Sun - something that takes effort and planning, but anything that gets me off my ass and moving.
QOTD 1. Name a whole food that is really popular that you really don't like? Mine is blueberries. I want to like them, I eat them occasionally because they are in everything, but I really don't like them. There I said it, ha.
QOTD 2. Vitamin roundup! What are you taking, how much and when? (I'm wondering specifically about Proferrin dose) I take
AM: 1 Centrum silver multi, 1 Citracal max Plus, 1 B12 500 sublingual
MIDDAY: 1 Proferrin - I've been taking only 1, but just read the label and it says take up to 3?
PM:1 Centrum silver multi, 1 Citracal max Plus
Accountability - not good, no, not good, fast food, wine, no exercise. the whole mess. Fresh start Friday! Today I'm 169.8 which is less than when I left by .2 - I'll take it. 30 minutes done on the treadmill.
B- coffee, protein cinnamon roll
l - Ham and cheese sandwich on protein bread
d - egg foo young and pork fried rice
s - edamame and jerky
Have a fab friday!!

Good Morning! Well I slept like crap and it was not one of those, "I've had enough" nights, it was an "I'm going to die if I only have 2 hours of sleep" nights. I finally managed to get back to sleep at 3:30am and I slept until 6:30am. Thank goodness because I was not ready to manage today with an all-nighter.
We've got a fun 3 day weekend ahead. It's my dad's birthday so we're going out to spend time with him on Saturday, and Monday we're going to a fall festival in Maine for the day. I have to work my butt off on Sunday for cookie stuff but that's not a bad thing. People are ordering so many Halloween cookies! It's crazy!
QOTD 1: Both bananas and blueberries have to be the exact perfect ripeness for me. If it's perfect I like them both but if not--yuck.
QOTD 2: I take a bariatric vitamin every day, plus an extra vitamin D3, and I take a proferrin a few times a week. The iron is supposed to be daily, but I won't lie and pretend I am as compliant as I should be.
Accountability: I barely ate and over 10K steps
- protein coffee
- turkey sausage
- turkey meatloaf

Good morning all and Happy Friday,
Dearest Fri-yay - Can you please be gentle on me? I'm sensitive.
Yesterday was ROUGH. Hours of attorney calls, dialing for dollars and medical calls. I fell overnight when I got up to use the restroom. I bumped my head good and have a goose egg as a trophy. I think I overextended my left knee. I don't feel I need medical attention though.
Today is Yom Kippur and I'll be attending high holidays service tomorrow and possibly tonight. Emily asked me to speak at her meeting at the same time tonight as services. I committed to being there for her and will probably skip Temple tonight. I'll be getting together with family to break the fast. This weekend, I have a book club, helping a friend for a couple hours with some life stuff, cards, board meeting, and will be outside to enjoy the Indigenous People Summer.
QOTD- Seeds -Some seeded produce is ok. These are not. Dragonfruit, cherimoya, raspberries, pomegranates. I like the taste of all of those though.
B: Lox, cream cheese on cucumbers and eggs.
L: Guac & shrimp ceviche. Flan.
D: a big meal before sundown going into a 24 hour fast.
Pics- Oct 7 Anniversary March & Rally at the Wrigley Building. The Uber driver from a couple weeks ago, Heather and me. Fake Lenny Dykstra information. I love this account's posts
HW: 371 SW(8/9/21): 324 CW: 215. 0 lbs til goal of skin reduction surgery. I'm still looking for a new plastic surgeon.

Happy Fri-yay everyone!
I am told that there was once a Prince who mistreated his subjects. After receiving Enlightenment, the Buddha travelled to see the Prince and counseled him to treat his subjects with love and kindness. But the Prince would not listen.
Later, one of the subjects came to the Buddha and said ?please Buddha use your power and magic to make the Prince stop ?
Concerned for the subjects, the Buddha willed himself to become larger and larger. In his new, enormous state, he travelled to see the evil Prince. Cowed by the enormous Buddha, the Prince had a revelation. He shouted up to the Buddha that he would change his ways and treat his subjects with care.
But the Buddha had become so large that he could not hear the Prince from the ground. He had to lie down and cup his ear to make the now chastened Prince audible. But finally he heard that the Prince was a changed man and the subjects would be cared for.
Sadly, my internet research did not confirm this tale and seemed to dwell more on final reincarnation and Parinirvana. But in either case, I do love the laying Buddha.
Monday - Bangkok, ex- Wat Pho.

I had a couple of busy work days this week, so today should be pretty chill. I have a 12:30 call, so lunch will have to be Jimmy John's. Lisa will note the departure from the expected steak and home fries.
The rest of the weekend is fitness, family, and football. Run with the Nuns is Sunday morning. I am going to get Heart tickets, since we missed them in August.
QOTD: I'm with Kelly - mushrooms. It's the texture, not the taste.
QOTD2: Celebrate vitamins and calcium chews (only 2 now), Walgreens Iron (only 5 days) and B12 (only one a week), Walgreens (D).
Breakfast: sausage and cottage cheese
lunch: I guess I will freak
dinner: lamb
Have a fantastic weekend, all!
