What's on your Monday menu?

Good Monday morning gang. We had a really productive weekend. Pretty much finished the rabbit hutch, Irvin just has to add handles to the big doors. We spent 2 hours both Saturday and Sunday at the Y. The nice guy who was in charge of the workout area showed me how to use the treadmill since it is different from the one I have at home and then he showed Irvin the different weight machines. After we worked out for a half hour I hit the lap pool and he hit the steam room and sauna then came to the pool.

My doctors appointment went well last Friday. I had even lost 4lbs and all of my bloodwork except for vitamin D and B came back great. My ferritin even went up from 61 to 76 I started adding in a daily capsule of freeze-dried grass-fed beef liver and I think that has helped with my Iron and ferritin. I go back in 4 months to see how my progress is doing.

QOTD: Do you ever stop what you're doing to take 5 or 10 minutes to just relax or meditate? Yesterday afternoon I was outside doing some yard work and decided to pull my blanket out and just sit for 10 minutes sucking in the sun and listening to the critters.

B: coffee and egg and ham wrap

L: salad with cottage cheese

D: grilled pork chops and steamed zucchini

Treadmill and then swimming. Really glad the Y is open until 9pm during the week.

Have a fabulous day everyone!!!!

Good mornin everyone.

The weekend was ok. We had to mow yesterday and my mom was almost finished and started having cold chills. Soooo... I had to finish. I feel like **** today but at least it's done. So much pain. Ugh.

We need groceries today. We may go to Sam's but that's not set in stone. I've finally convinced my mom to eat a little better. She hasn't been horrible but it's easier to cook for two than one. We're going to do a joint meal a day.

I spent my free time this weekend finishing the units for a belt. Today I'll work on some units my boss is wanting.

QOTD: yes I do. I love taking a bit to appreciate the sky or flowers...whatever catches my attention. Like yesterday I watched a wasp fly around for 7 or 10 minutes. Just focusing on it. It relaxed me.

B: egg burrito, coffee

L: salad with baked chicken

D: roast fixed in the crock pot.

Your belt will be beautiful. The dream catcher picture you posted last week is the dream catcher you made for me about five years ago. I still love it.

Jen, so happy that everything is going so well at home and the Y. Sounds like great staff there and a great place to be. Something went wrong with my plumbing on Friday and everything was backed up and I could not run any water. I had to spend two days in Holiday Inn.

Not a fun reason to be there. It is cleaned up now and I am back at home. It affected everyone in my building. It is going to cost the condo association $180,000 to have liners put in the old galvanized pipes for the building. The boyfriend of the condo president came over and watched my cat while I was in the hotel. My cat bit him. Not hard but my cat does not always like his home disturbed and lets people now when he does not want them around. It is almost like having a teenager again.

.

I am glad you were put up in a safe place and that you are back home safe and sound.

I always stop to admire and enjoy beautiful flowers. Roses this time of year, lilac and peonies in spring and mums in the fall. I don't garden anymore but my neighbors do. I do have an aerogarden and have parsley, basil, thyme, and a tomato with lots of flowers on it.

Good morning, everybody!

We are back to Chicago. I will post more tomorrow when I am WFH. Hopefully, everyone is doing well.

Welcome home!

Good morning all and Happy Monday,

Weekend was good. I enjoyed life. Yesterday, we went to a BBQ at Paula's Parents' house. It was enjoyable but strange since I'm dating Paula and have established personal relationships with attendees and now I'm dating my friend's sister, his parents' daughter, and other friends that have known Paula from birth. It's a weird dynamic.

QOTD- YES. I will stop the day if I next to rest, meditate, or take 15min to lay down.

B: Yogurt, half bagel, half cup coffee.

L: BBQ with Mom and sister.

D: salad with yesterday's chicken.

I am so happy things are going well with Paula. You deserve this!

Good Afternoon! Happy New Week. We had a nice weekend with not too much excitement but for some reason I still wasn't ready for the new week. I am not a fan of the heat and it's been over 100 degrees so just lots of indoor time to stay cool.

QOTD: No, and I am sure it would benefit me immensely.

I took a rest day from exercise and my menu is typical for the work week and dinner for the first part of the week is BBQ pork loin and some sort of veggie. Water and vits on track for the day.

I hope everyone had a great day.
