Good morning everyone. It is bitter cold outside and didn't want to crawl out from under my heating blanket. Me and the cats were all snuggled in. I didn't need to get up, but I went to bed pretty early to sleep and got in six glorious hours. I'm a new woman! No real plans for today, other than maybe getting the sister kitten of Emma. Just call me Mersh the cat collecter! My oldest cat did so well with Emma, so I'm not worried. It will be a little gray kitten with blonde spots on its face. Any suggestions on a name?

Emma and I before I headed off to the gym

On a side note, I'm actually hungry? I think I have been working out so much that my body is finally yelling when I'm on empty. It caught me off guard at first, it had been so long since I've felt actual hunger and not just head hunger. Now to learn to regulate that as well as bumble through the minefield of maintenance.

QOTD: Where (meaning actual location) do you find the most peace?

Mine is the lake nearby. I like to go and just sit on the bench, or even in my car if its cold and watch the lake and ducks and geese do their thing.

I wasn't too lazy to screen shot my menu!

Pretty girl-pretty kitty. Love the paws.....(so, of course) call the kitten Paws.

Have a delightful day. My peace, sometimes comes from actually "seeing" the world as I drive to work, as opposed to vaguely driving down the road on my way to work. Translated, I guess that means my peace comes when I put myself well and truly in the here and now.

I agree with you. Sometimes just knowing where you are is so nice.

Paws would have been adorable! I ended up plow the Opal, so now I have Opal and Emma

The wind is cold here today too! It was blowing pretty hard last night which I think is why we were on the generator for a few hours (turns on and off automatically thank goodness).

QOTD: A view of the water (from the beach or inside) always brings me peace. Though we have a water "peak" of our pond, I wish we had an actual "view" (but I am not moving).

Always lots of coffee...

Up early - made salt free chicken noodle soup for a sick friend, and a big pot of marinara as we have company coming from Spain. I still love to cook...vicarious food!

QOTD: Where (meaning actual location) do you find the most peace? I have two places; one is at the beach (where I used to live) and now its a small spot in our home with my books, my prayer things and its where I have my quiet time, journal, meditate....I think it changes over the years and depending upon where you live.

Weather is heading to fall here in NC, finally. Some girls look cute in flannel shirts. I look like I need an axe, lol.

B: Premier protein shake and lots of coffee

S: Shredded chicken with dukes mayo

L: Haven't got a plan for the rest of the day

My stomach is upset on antibiotics for massive sinus infection...

Hi guys! I've been MIA because I was eating off plan and in a funk about it, but I'm shaking it off and moving forward! Gained a few pounds over the last week, so I'm going to do my best to tackle that and get back on track.

QOTD: I absolutely love trees and find the most peace when I'm surrounded by them. There is a beautiful tree outside my living room window and I love to look at it and watch it change with the seasons.

B - coffee & protein

L - Kung Pao veggies

D - beans, quinoa, peppers

S - protein bar
