Good morning All! I hope you are having a relaxing OR productive weekend (whatever you planned on). We went to a craft fair yesterday, but today is errands, laundry, bills and projects.

QOTD: If you could be any age, what would you choose and why? I would choose to be 30. I was responsible at that point and had a good job. I thought most of the bad stuff was behind me and I still had my eldest DD (she was 13). I think that was the year that DH adopted her.

1 year, 10 months post-op

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Possibly leftovers (not sure)

S: Halo Top ice cream

I did absolutely nothing yesterday except crochet and nap. Today will be cleaning and straightening to make up for my slug behavior yesterday.

QOTD: If I could go back and know what I know now? Then 16. If not, then 32 would be a good age as by then I was settling down and everything began to straighten out. But then again, only if I could take back with me what I know now. So, I guess, I wouldn't go back at all. I like where I am today and look forward to what the future holds.

M1: Coffee, PP vanilla, miralax

M2: Protein shake caramel

M3: Salmon and cream cheese roll up on a whole grain tortilla (1/4)

M4: LO steak or LO lasagna (no noodles)

M5: LO brisket with mushroom gravy (noodles for family)

S: Jerky or other protein forward snack if needed

E: More cleaning.

Water/Vits: on track

Good morning! The weekend has been a combination of relaxing and productive - and all wonderful :) Today I've got work (school and some tech support for my mom) in the morning over tennis (I know who won, she doesn't!). Then we're having brunch with some of her CCRC friends and, later, dinner at her ex-neighbors' place! Should be a lovely day. Hopefully we'll get to play some ping pong as well.

QOTD: I'm happy to say that I'm good with life as it is now. If anything, I'd like to fast forward 2-3 years so that I could already be moved to where I want to live forever and have a job.

1: grapefruit half, protein shake
2: brunch - I'm sure there will be good meat options, I'm also sure that my mom will not get her money's worth out of me :P
3: no idea since we're going to dinner at someone's home. We're taking challah that we baked yesterday, and they're vegetarian. So that's about all I know!

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: ping pong!

Morning all. Im happy at my age and since everyone on my father's side lives into the 90, i feel like i hopefully have a way to go, lol. However, 30 to 35 is ideal. I had kids, a house etc. But still had allot of fun. At my age (56) i remember my parents going out all the time. I feel really boring compared to them and am trying not to let life pass me by.

B. Toast w jarlsburg

L. Idk

D. Maybe turkey or chicken

My mother was not in a good place at my age (62) - she had already been a widow for over 15 years, was an alcoholic and was recovering from a broken hip (happened when in an alcoholic stupor). BUT she did get out of her hole by her mid 70's and had a good life for the next 10+ years. My kids and I were lucky we were able to get to know who she really was and enjoy time with her.

Good morning, glad you had a nice day at the craft fair in Venice yesterday Liz!

Going to go see the movie The Darkest Hour tonight, I am really looking forward to it. Since watching The Crown on Netflix I have become interested in Winston Churchill. John Lithgow played him in The Crown, he was amazing. Gary Oldman plays him in The Darkest Hour, it's amazing what they can do with makeup now a days!!!

QOTD-Like Ladyblu, I would only go back knowing what I know now. I would go back to the end of summer right before 9th grade or I would go back to age 22, the summer after I finished nursing school. Thank goodness I never have to make the choice, because it would be a hard one for me to make:-) Good question Liz!

B-plain greek yogurt with SF pudding mix(lemon) and pumpkin seeds

L-PP shake

S-chai tea, 1/2 apple and string cheese

D-Bean and bacon soup, homemade cheese crisps

E-Walk with Emmy

I hope you all have a peaceful Sunday!

I thought Gary Oldman was fantastic in The Darkest Hour, and I couldn't recognize him... even though I KNEW who it was! Amazing. I just wished I had subtitles :P
