What's on your Sunday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning, Marvelous Menu Minions! 

Wow, yesterday was so ridiculously relaxing, I can hardly believe it. We sat around and talked and watched movies and all day... Ah amazing. I was sad not have gone to the Boston March, but after such a long week, it was nice to have an excuse to stay in and chill out. Also, Boston was expecting 90,000 people but ended up having 150,000! It was so crowded that they couldn't actually march and the train lines were overwhelmed, too, so it's just as well that we didn't go. 

Today should be equally relaxing! Grim's brother took off early this morning and we don't have much on the docket for the day. I need to put some time into getting back into a work routine (including a trip to the grocery store), but I'm more than happy to spend another quiet day at home :)

QOTD: Blankets or no blankets while you are sitting on the couch? Yesterday Grim heard a beep and ran downstairs to get 1 comforter and 2 wool blankets that were nice and warm from the drier. He threw them on me and I have never been happier. Never! Even in the summer, I love being under blankets when I am sitting on the couch. I don't even think it's about the warmth (although I like that, too!) but I like the feel of having the weight of a blanket on me. 

B: 3 peices of bacon and protein coffee

S: Greek Yogurt

L: Leftover Chinese Chicken Fingers 

D: Steak

Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone! Make great choices!

Good morning! Go Patriots!

QOTD: I like blankets too as I am so much colder than I have ever been in my life previously. I am enjoying keeping them ready on the couch for me while recuperating from PS.  I'll probably clean up my "nest" this week (have already been returning pillows to beds), but it has been nice to just go to the couch and put the blankets over me (and have a good excuse to hog the couch).

B: eggbeaters and cottage cheese

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Asian pork (? Chef DS is cooking)

S: quest protein chips, cheese

Morning!

Quick post, we're off to my parents today to replace the belt on their dryer and have a visit. Haven't looked at the weather, but I think it'll be a good driving day.

qotd: definitely a blanket user. Summer not as much, but we always have some handy. I'm also a slipper wearer.

menu:

B:protein shake

L: brunch/lunch at my parents. It's always protein forward, so I'm sure I'll be fine there.

D putting a roast in the slow cooker. I'm trying a Mississippi roast, we'll see how that goes.

have a great day everyone!

I've been thinking about trying to make one of those Mississippi roasts as well.  One of these weekends...

Preparing for a noreaster here!

Good Morning! Blankets for sure! I don't know what it is, because I enjoy them even when I'm not really cold. The only part of it I don't like is when I sit with a blanket my 2 dogs jump into my lap and pass out! Then I feel trapped! Well, that is my excuse anyways for not getting up as much as I should on my days off.

B: coffee

L: another birthday party today so still unsure

D: left over chicken stew probably

Good morning guys!


Sorry I've been MIA for a couple of days....I was under the weather for the last couple of days, but woke up feeling alright this morning if you don't count cranky joints!  I've been feeling....emotional I guess....about my upcoming surgery. I'm excited, but nervous.  I go for my cardiac clearance on Tuesday...and things are starting to feel more "real" if that makes sense.   This will be a revision, but this is the first time I'll be having major surgery since my son was born and that's messing with me.  He is one of the biggest reasons I'm on this journey....I don't just want to live to see him grow up, but I want to participate in it as well!  In addition to the surgery nerves....I've had the emotional roller coaster with my sister, and I have news about that.   The results of her biopsy were not what we expected....but in a GOOD way!  Instead of coming back lymphoma as her doctor expected....it turns out it's sarcoidosis.  I had to google it, but from what I've read it can mimic cancer on the PET scans and is a granuloma.   Now we don't know for sure yet, she's having surgery to remove the mass in her lung on Tuesday to test that and make sure it is related to the sarcoidosis, so I'm not fully excited yet, but cautiously optimistic.  I think if I could just cross all my fingers and toes until tuesday I'd consider it, but then I'd never get anything done!


Today we are heading down to visit with my FIL...I'm sure he'll have lots of questions about my upcoming surgery, it will be nice to see him.


QOTD:  Blankets all the way - with my thyroid issues I have trouble temperature regulating, I'm always cold...and I've heard it will get worse haha.   I also like weight on my lap - something I discovered when I went to therapy.  I almost always want a pillow or my bag sitting on my lap, I just find it comforting.  As I've journeyed through having a child on the autism spectrum, with his various sensory issues, I've noticed there are several things that I do that are similar....it's very interesting!  

MENU:

B: Protein Coffee, Protein Shake

S: Protein Shake

L: TBD

S: Almonds, string cheese

D: Salmon, Salad


Have a wonderful day guys, enjoy it!  

I'm glad you got some good news about your sister.  Keeping her in my prayers.

Thank you, that means a lot! :)

I felt the same way prior to surgery. Hope you feel better soon! I'll still be thinking of your sister, that's great news to hear so far.
