Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Another cloudy day with rain. I can tell today is not going to be a great day. I bought a dress at a rummage sale Saturday and thought I would wear it today. Looks great on the hanger and if I stand but it ain't no sitting dress. When I sit the buttons bulge and the hem line comes up way too far. Just lucky no one can see me where I sit, and it is cold in the office, so I have an Afghan over my legs.
QOTD: Raft and a Draft
Accountability: I have been very conscience of what I eat.

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: Sauerbraten made with round steak
D: grilled meatloaf

Have a great day my friends.

The hot weather is not going to hit here until tomorrow but a lot of very hot days ahead. I love the water, from walking on the beach to being in the water. I love a boat ride. I have never fished except for sometimes as a kid and don't remember that we ever caught anything we did not throw back.

Morning gang. A little late here I had to run to Walmart because Primo water decided to cancel our water delivery yesterday. Now I need to call them and let them have it. Since they have merged with Ready Refresh the service has been horrible.
The weather today is officially called swamp ass weather. It is so warm and muggy it is sickening. But today is my Friday woo hoo now I have to find a place for tomorrow for strawberry picking with my mom, daughter, and granddaughter. Crossing fingers that the NASCAR midget racing is still on for tonight for Irvin's grandkids.
QOTD: What's your favorite water sport? Irvin used to waterski when he was younger. For me I just like boating especially in sal****er and being able to fish is an added bonus.
B: coffee and 2 egg bites
L: salad with 1/2 cup egg salad
D: grilled chicken thighs and swiss chard
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi! Late check in that I'm sure will miss everyone. It was busy all day and especially because I take lunches on Wednesday for a telehealth appt. I'm holding out hope that we will be able to process some of our payroll early instead of having that team wait until Monday. Fingers crossed.
QOTD: I used to enjoy running outside but since my injury/surgery I haven't started back up.
Dinner was chicken sausage and mashed cauliflower. Water/exercise/vitamins, all on track.
I'll do my best to check in tomorrow before my day gets crazy, but I don't know what time it will start to get crazy!

Humpty Hump!
It feels a bit like Friday because I am heading to Florida tonight. I will go straight from work to the airport and land at about 10:45. Marilyn is picking me up at the airport.
We have tomorrow off, but if our clients are working, they will expect attention.
I had been on a streak of being early to work, but I didn't sleep well last night, so the streak is over.
QOTD: Fishing, hiking, swimming and biking.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: steak
Dinner: airport food
Have a great day, all!

I like walking in the woods and finding wild flowers but the swimming pool is my favorite outside activity. My brother who is 73 and his son are hiking to the bottom of the grand canyon this week. Last time they did it on mules. My nephew is hiking at various locations in Utah and Colorado and the grand canyon is on their schedule. The pictures they are Facebook are amazing. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
I took Monday off and was playing catch up yesterday. I did get my top 2 floors of window and door washing done. It was an incredibly rainy cool weekend, and I have been in the pool exactly 1 hour since I opened it on May 17. I hear that is all supposed to change, I am hoping for a wonderful hot weekend and planning a pool party. Work has been steady as she goes. No meeting with boss yet. I am just laying low and hiding till I get notice we will meet. Hopefully I am still at the bottom of the list.
QOTD: Walking on the beach. Collecting seashells and swimming in the ocean. I also like to Scuba and fishing.
Accountability: I have been very conscience of what I eat.

Good mornin y'all.
Two appointments today, thankfully they are close to each other. Pain clinic and my case manager. I need to talk to the later about the peer support person ghosting me. Not looking forward to that. The pain clinic is always the same ol same ol thing. We also will be going to Walmart for a few things for tomorrow. So pretty long day
i'm feeling pretty rough after yesterdays PT. The physical therapist sent me home with a TENS unit. He's really great.
QOTD. Sky watching. Storms, clouds, sun sets/rises. Stars. You name it I enjoy just taking it in.
B: jimmy dean delights cauliflower sandwich and coffee
L: prob a chicken crap from BK
D: I have no idea at this point. Maybe a fish fillet or something along those lines.
Happy Hump Day Gang. It was a rainy muggy day yesterday, but it went well. Today started off the same way hopefully after a quick storm the sun comes out. Tomorrow night is the grandkids first trial race of the NASCAR midget cars in Thompson and Irvin is so excited. This is another short week for me as I took Friday off.
QOTD: What outdoor activity do you enjoy most? I actually like hiking not that I do it often, but I enjoy going through the woods and finding unusual landmark or structures.
B: coffee and 2 egg bits
L: salad with 1/2 cup cottage cheese
D: pork chop and kale with red onion and blue cheese
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi, nice to see you all again. Father's day was nice and quiet. Hubs was out helping a friend so I did as much in the garden as I could. Monday he and our son went out for guy stuff and it was another nice quiet day. Worked hard in the garden, overdid it a bit. Had to head to Costco today for protein powder, it was great going so early with little crowds and for the first hour I wasn't even limping. That is amazing progress from the PT and weight loss. Finished the month with 17# loss. Today is the telephone appt. with my dr and hope it goes well.
QOTD: I help Hubby whenever he'll allow or requests it but it is usually a very stressful situation. Daughter is a fire wife so she frequently needs help with babysitting, that's a win/win for both of us. Grandbaby time does me so much good. Chatting with Son last evening he let slip he isn't cooking much because bills are pretty high so I dragged him to MollyMart (aka my canning room) and made him take some jars of meats and veggies. He hates to ask for help.
I've hit the interesting point with these meds where I'm actually tired of having to eat. If it wouldn't mess up my 'regularity' I'd be perfectly happy with a couple of protein shakes a day but that isn't healthy long-term.
B: canned shake 'Nurri' brand in chocolate. Same stats as Fairlife but tastes like you are dieting. Costco didn't have any Fairlife this time, bummer.
L: nothing
D: mixed spring greens, 8 cherry tomatoes, 3 oz rotisserie chicken, 2 T lite Ranch dressing, 3 slices of a small avocado
LS: 2 T chia seeds in water
Enjoy the rest of your day! After talking to the dr. I'm heading back to the garden.
