Mornin' All!

I really need to get back into this - have been eating too much lately and I need to get back control. I was hoping I'd get a metabolism boost after my hip replacement surgery (seven weeks ago), and I probably did, but between inactivity the first three or so weeks, and too many calories given the inactivity, I did not lose any weight. Boo. (at least I didn't gain, but still, I should have taken advantage of the boost!)

I think I was still regularly posting back in January when we moved my mom into assisted living. She loves the place, thankfully. Loves the apartment, has a group of friends she regularly eats with, and they have tons of activities, and she goes to lots of them! Whew. Such a relief. I'm going over there later this morning to give her a pill (she's really bad with dates and time, so when she gets some prescription, I or someone on the nursing staff really needs to administer it. If it's just for a day or two (like this one), I normally do it since she lives pretty close to me). Then I'm taking her to a doctor's appt this afternoon - and another one tomorrow. They do have a driver at her place who can take them to appts, but her memory isn't the best and she often can't answer questions the doctor asks - or she gives them wrong information. So it's better if I take her and go into the exam room with her.

QOTD: well, I've had a ton of plastic surgery, but I never had my thighs done because they're not awful, and unless I'm in a swimsuit (water fitness classes are my primary exercise in the winter), no one would notice - but I don't like looking at them. At one time I would have added my right hip, but the surgeon fixed it!

B: Greek yogurt with diced mango, toast on whole grain/seed bread with light butter and jam

L: I'll probably have lunch at my mom's place or we'll stop somewhere on our way to the doctor's office

D: either a protein bowl (lentils, sweet potatoes, 1/4 an avocado, cottage cheese, hot honey) or a tuna/chickpea salad sandwich with salad or fruit

I usually have snacks (unfortunately..that is my downfall - esp late afternoon), but I won't be home for that today. Might take a protein bar with me so I don't maw at dinner (or else eat a bigger than normal lunch so I won't be hungry until dinner time...)

have a great day, everyone!

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 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 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!!

Happy Tuesday!
Hope everyone has a great day.
So today, I've got class. After that, I plan on going for a walk while listening to Kelly Clarkson. Later tonight, my mom and I are planning to take the kids to see the Miami Marlins game.

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.
