What are we eating & What's eating us - Friday Edition

I am guessing that our Linda isn't feeling to good this morning since she usually has posted by now. So I thought I would jump in and do it today. I have been up since the beehind crack of dawn anyway. ha ha

Food yesterday was alright, since I got all 3 meals in.

B: scrambled eggs and 2 pieces of sausage
L: 1 pork chop and a couple of fried green tomato slices-OMG yum!
D: turkey slices and cheese with onion
S: nothing

So how is your day going so far?

As for what is eating me....not to much this morning. I got Kayden and they asked me to watch him every day...no problem with this old Grandma. He is tired and dropping of to sleep in his swing.

Bill goes to the doctor this morning so I told Kayden we were taking a road trip..he likes those.

So far today it is a good day and I hope that it stays that way. I hope your day is the same since my OFF family deserves nothing less.

Just put one foot in front of the other and you will get to your destination..yes there might be some forks in the road but your destination will come!  

Sending love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone too. Don't forget to smile....it will make a lot of people happy...including you!

Good morning and thanks for starting us off.  I'm glad that you sound so much better now.

I've been better with food lately and the scale has moved slightly in the right direction.  I've been a little nervous lately as my attorney sent a great letter to my former employers and I don't expect they are very happy with me.  I had agreed to settle for 14 years of service for retirement and they sent a very one-sided settlement agreement for me to sign.  After showing it and my documentation to the attorney, he convinced me that I have a very good case.  I don't want to sue them because I need to retire soon for medical insurance reasons.  So the letter requests that they give me the whole 17 years and provides for the addition of a paragraph spelling out their obligation to cover 75% of my group medical insurance premium. 
I'm trying to keep a positive attitude with this mantra:  I am fearless, healthy, happy and free.  I am available for more good than I have ever imagined, experienced or manifested before. 

Otherwise I'm catching up on a few minor household repairs, finally getting into my exercise routine, reading novels and enjoying the weather.  A friend installed Microsoft Office on my computer and I have a printer now.  Just need to install a program like Quick Books and my home based bookkeeping office will be complete.

Yesterday I ate 3 sausages with a piece of WW toast and coffee for breakfast.  Lunch was a baked chicken thigh with carrots and some Kashi grains.  Dinner was turkey meatballs in marinara sauce, 1/2 cup pasta and cantaloupe. 

Keep the faith.  All is well.  XOXO, CV Linda

Linda, sometimes the positive mantra's are all we can do..some things are beyond our control. We just have to do what is in front of us to do and leave the results. Two of my mantra's that I am using a lot these days are "That that doesn't kill me makes me stronger" and "It is what it is".

Have a great week end and I will chat later on...sending love and hugs to you, dear.

CV,you inspire me so much!! I have allowed myself to be bullied in the past because I needed to keep my job,and I was basicly no work because of illness,I would be fired. Well this went against the legal documentation of their own employee hand book,and they had to allow me up to 2 years to get better.I am honestly handicapped which I put on my hiring papers,never lied.
Now I am 58,and our dear government has done some great things,one of them being you be can not be fired.They
don't
hold my position due to business needs,yet they can not fire me,up to 2 years, If my doctor says I am able to return to work,the job will give me 3 months UNPAID,to find another position in our huge company,can you see stupid tatooed on my forhead.??
Another problem is due to the fact I was knocked out backwards on the cement because their handicap access was broken for over 2 years,if I had said I was out and it was workman's comp..I would have NO PAY,until the case was settled.
There fore,I am talking to a lawyer because The Americans Disability Act was violated,and now I have back aches I never had before.
So,hang girl,I will too,I will not be bullied.and it is time for these big companies to stop shaking their dicks at us and trying to bully us. Fight the fight,fight the power,what  do I have to lose,this is my life they dicking with.
Thanks for listening CV,I needed to get that out.Thank you for your inspiration and strength,
HUGE BEAR HUG!

GRRRRRRRRR then....his mom tells me that verizon wants $160.00 in 12 days or they are shutting off our phones!!! how in the hell did it get that far behind???? rick and i have made OUR payments and its again HER not making the payment on time!!! soo late fees are adding up because of her and she wants US to pay half!!!! NO WAY IN HELL!!!!! i am so sick of bailing her out of her share of the phone bill!!!! i talked to rick and he is going to talk to her about it...i told him to check and see if we can get out of being in her "family" and go on our own because of this mess!!! not sure they will let us but its worth a try right?? anyhow i blabbed long enough on here to let off steam....LOL sorry...

sooo here is what i plan on eating today...

l. cucumbers, green peppers and string cheese

d. goulash made with lots of onion and tomatoes and beef...hardly any macaroni in it :-)

so hope you all have a great day and remember to SMILE!!!! ;-)

Hey Judy, how you doing? Someday we are going to have to have a phone chat but you seem so busy with working and Rick and all. Call me sometime and I can always call you back without a problem.

Your menu looks good and as for the snack...heck have a bit of each if you ask me...but then again who asked me? ha ha

I say that if you keep bailing people out they are never going to learn to live on their own. And I think that is pretty awful of Rick's aunts husband. What a man.....if you can call him a man that is. Just my own opinion though!

Love and hugs to ya......and prayers too. I know how the money situation is...Bill and I aren't going to have a pay chec****il Workman's Comp kicks in...that is if it does. Heck who knows...I sure don't!

Judy!! WTF?????
You need to get another service BEFORE that account goes into default,and she can do the same.
Judy,I have seen you screwed over in the past do to your man's family. Cut this shyt NOW.
Gentle hugs,you know I do not mean to offend you,I really care!

As far as food, I'm in a rut SOS, different day.  Need to become more inventive with my cooking and eating, but it seems the only way I can get in all my protein is to drink a shake, and I'm really getting tired of them.

 Thanks Brenda ..
and Linda I am confused - is this the same Linda that starts this off e.g. did you change your profile?
I wasn't feeling well this morning, so didn't eat until now - I am eating chicken & low fat cheese with sugar free barbeque sauce.

Hi Jeane,  I'm a different Linda from Carmel Valley.  My last name starts with an S also so I usually sign as CV Linda.
