Today's a rough one. Not gonna sugarcoat it -- I'm having a bad mental health day.
But I'm still showing up for myself, one meal and one breath at a time.
ð?¥' Breakfast: Spicy Southwest Avocado Toast
?? Lunch: Chipotle Turkey Bowl
? Dinner: Pineapple-Jalapeño Smoothie -- sweet, spicy, and soothing
? QOTD:
If I could self-heal one part of my body, it would be my mind.
Because peace up there makes everything else possible.
Allergies are one thing I do not like at Springtime and being allergic to everything outside really makes it tough to get things done. So I stock up on Benadryl.

Good morning, everybody!
Back from swimming. Today we got shopping bags with our team outfit orders in them. I ordered a cycling kit. I haven't tried it on yet, but did try on the sample in February. Anyways, the back and forth to my locker caused me to have to cut my swim short. I ended up with just under 1200 meters.
We did a burner yesterday! 5 minutes - 50 burpees and then as many calories as possible on the assault bike. 5 minute workout, how hard can it be, right? Actually pretty hard. I did get through all of my burpees and made 6 calories on the bike. I was pleased with that, kind of went unbroken on the burpees.
Work from home Wednesday, I need to call Marilyn go to CrossFit and we have Happy Hour tonight. I'm on vacation next week, so 3 more days.
QOTD: I guess my pancreas.
Breakfast: bagel
lunch: Roast beef
dinner: chili
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all.
not a lot to do today but some. I have to take something back to a store. Brought it home and it was an empty box. Can't stand thief's. So that annoyed me heavily yesterday. I just hope they'll believe me. We have a few other errands to do but nothing big.
Feeling pretty rough this morning. I think it has a lot to do with the weather. We''ve been chillier than usual and lots of rain. Over 3 inches in 3 days. The Canadian River to the north of is is at flood stage. It's crazy and only happens very rarely. It should help our lakes!
QOTD: my spine. Definitely my spine. Second would be my shoulder.
B: homemade breakfast sandwich. English muffin, gouda, egg and beef bacon. So good. Plus coffee
L: salad with diced chicken and light ranch dressing.
D: haven't decided on this one yet.
Good Morning! The heat is starting to pick up here and allergies se to be kicking in again for everyone. Yesterday was another busy, productive day and today should be about the same. Still no concerns or complaints so far from my new team member.
QOTD: I can't pick one! But, if I had to, I guess I would say my ankle or knees.
TSS: 10 years 8 months
B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, yogurt and some fruit
S: A piece of fruit and yogurt
D: Tri tip, steamed mixed veggies, and 2 mini York peppermint patties
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 2 miles on treadmill
V/W: On track

Have a great day!

Good Morning Menuer's. Looks like we might have a little break from rain. While I know it is beneficial this time of year holy moly have, we had some heavy storms roll through.
The inventory went pretty well yesterday. We might have to take a hit on a few things because some employees do not put pick slips in for when they take a part out of the warehouse. But it shouldn't be too bad.
I told my plant manager once the weather clears up, I'm going to start cleaning up the conference room chairs. During Covid we had to spray a sanitizer all throughout the offices, breakrooms, bathrooms, and control room, unfortunately the spray rusted the chairs in the conference room since they are leather with chrome finished legs and side arms. I have a plan to cover the leather part with plastic and then sand the chrome parts and repaint them with a spray rust oleum paint.
QOTD: If you could selfheal one part of your body, what would it be? My skeleton hands down so my joints don't bother me when it rains or if I'm doing a lot of heavy physical work.
B: coffee and eggs and squash
L: tossed salad with chicken salad
D: yankee pot roast with green beans and mashed potatoes
30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the vibration platform
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!

Good morning, everybody!
I had two early calls this morning, so just getting around to posting. Marilyn and my youngest son are away this week, so it's just me and my older son holding down the fort.
I don't have too much going on today - need to mow the lawn, go to CrossFit and I have a call this afternoon. Hopefully, the shop will get back with an estimate about my car. And my son is making chili. I'm happy to have that for dinner the next three nights to save on cooking.
QOTD: I am on the Baritrician/Surgeon model, so I see the Baritrician once a year and she does my bloodwork. Generally, I am well nourished. I probably eat a lot for an WLS patient.
breakfast: bagel
lunch: roast beef
dinner: chili
Have a great day, all!

Breakfast: Jalapeño Egg White Muffins
Lunch: Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Dinner: Hoping I can find something healthy at the park!
QOTD: I need to do better about getting my annual bloodwork done.

Good mornin y'all!
not much happening around here today. We'll be going to Walmart, we keep forgetting a few things but I have the list in my purse already. It's rainy and supposed to be that way all day into tomorrow. We've had flooding around the city. I bet we've gotten at least 2-3 inches.
I'm having a hard time with the iron supplement. It just makes me miserable. I see my doctor in June so I'm going to ask what other options there are. The GI doc said I need shots or infusion. I don't know what's best. The B12 shots are not helping too much. I have zero energy. I also found out yesterday that I have to do another 6 weeks of PT for my shoulder. EVEN though I was told by the therapist that it would not help AND that I've already done it. It wasn't recent enough. Heavily annoyed.
QOTD: I get regular testing but probably not all that I need to. I finally got the list from my bariatric surgeon so I can give it to my PCP. I am getting more testing done in the 30th of this month. Mainly to test my kidneys but also A1c.
B: street taco zero carb tortilla, egg, beef bacon, cheese and coffee
L: undecided
D: maybe a salad with diced chicken breast and a small avocado
Good Morning! Yesterday was long and stressful in the afternoon since we didn't get all of the paperwork we needed from other departments to get distribution ready. Overall, I'm proud of my team and how they handled it all and the new team member is really doing well so today I'll focus on those aspects in our debrief.
QOTD: Because I have iron issues, I get my bloodwork done twice a year (I think he runs pretty much everything since it's usually 7-8 vials) and review it with my hematologist. It seems about every year and a half. I have to have an iron infusion to keep things level. When I start having symptoms, they begin with leg cramps and Charlie horses in my calves.
