What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Holy crap, that video is insane!  Poor seal. 

I saw that video! What a smart little guy!

Is it mean that I'm laughing somewhat hysterically about your shirt?

Yeah, I think it's mean.

QOTD: I'm neither. Please don't hate me, y'all. I'm super loving, but I just don't love animals. I don't kick them or want to eat them all, I just don't really want them living with me. The Fella has a cat though and last evening he informed me that I'm the second contact on his microchip thingy, so apparently I'm his "step mom." (Edit: the cat's microchip thingy, not the Fella's - that'll be later on once we're married)

It's day two or a weird schedule of tasks and meetings at work - but I AM going in late, so I'm currently reclining on my bed with an iced coffee, so I ain't mad.

Mantra: Do I really want this?

Ooh, I like today's mantra.  I need to start using that.

 

The original mantra was "I can have it if I want it, but do I really want it?" I find that to be a SUPER powerful statement and SUPER helpful!

The answer to DO I REALLY WANT THIS? ...is always YES!  I would have to ask myself, do I really NEED this

I am glad you are going to be a responsible Husband owner and get him micro chipped

Yep, don't want to accidentally lose him at the mall or something.

You're right - need might be a better word than want - though I've been surprised how much this particular mantra has been useful to me.

Hey if it works for you, then that is all that matters!

I think, since reading the original mantra....the original hits home more for me, I have no idea why though! lol

We don't mind the small, rice-sized subdermal microchips. But we hate the big ones they tag on our ears.

Happy Midway Point Indeed!!!  AV I love that you are not hungry and "pretty sure" you have lost and even if you didn't lose just being less bloated is a total win win!!  I too am having a hard time finishing my food, dense protein is so friggin filling.  Your new top sounds really nice, tell your co workers the lace is for airing out your sides in this heat! LOL LOL

QOTD: come on that's just too easy, DOG person 1000%, always have been, always will be.  I grew up with Newfoundland dogs, they are massive gentle giants. Both my parents despise cats and it was like saying a dirty word in our house if you said 'cat'.  Personally I like cats I am just so used to a dog personality & traits though.  And ya all know my Labs are my life, Oliver & Amy are the kids (furkids) I was never able to have!

AMAW/AMAW-C is going so fantastic for me!!! I am down another pound this morning, so 2.4 lbs from the start on Monday. I am not hungry and I have zero cravings. I am more thirsty and have stepped up the liquids even more. I really can't get over how I am not hungry and don't even think about food.  Huh! Who knew!!

Keep on keeping on my meaty friends you all are kicking butt!  And just so you know I am keeping an excel spreadsheet of all your progress and how you are all doing, helps me choose a winner for next week, so let's see those menus & pics!!!

Here are my pics:  first pic is of my wrist band from the gym last night.  We have to get wrist bands for the Muscle Pump class as its always so popular and they can only fit so many people in the room. So last night's wrist band had a "motivational" saying on it, it was so cute I had to snap a pic.  It says: "Be Strong, Be Confident, Be You!" So my awesome OHers that is your mantra for the day!!! Second pic is my eats today:  top left can of tuna, top right 2 mild Italian sausages, bottom left 4 slices of bacon, bottom right 2 cracker black pepper pork sticks (thanks JB they are yummy!) Dinner is pork chops not in the pic.

BE FABULOUS my AMAW & AMAW-C friends, only two days to go to the end of the challenge, WE GOT THIS!!
