Hi, hope you had a good weekend. Our weather turned to Fall and it was a scramble to get as many of the veggies salvaged as possible. It has taken several days but all that is left out there are the peppers and they are under a frost blanket but can't wait long.
QOTD: My maternal Grandma. My mom wasn't a touchy-feelie kind of person and I got so much affection from my Grandma. I miss that woman every day. Mom too but in a different way, more like a pal.
It is totally soup weather here but awfully hard to eat when you are counting macros. Going to make hubby a pot of chicken and homemade noodles soup and will just have some broth before the noodles go in then get measured chicken from the freezer, Shiratake noodles and make just one portion. Not tomorrow...it will be a scramble day. Meeting up with out of town family while they are here for a funeral and then dashing to the surgeon's office for them to check my nose. It feels like cartilage has moved where it shouldn't and I'm having a hard time breathing from one side where there was never any problem before. Cross your fingers for me that it is nothing or just an easy fix.
I had two crashes Sunday from reactive hypoglycemia...it has been years since that happened. Tried to follow my usual schedule today and have been just fine.
See you late tomorrow.
B: My protein/collagen shake. Brrr
L: 5 Cashews (not hungry)
D: 1/2 c egg substitute, 2 Amylu breakfast sausages and 1 slice of Kraft American singles.
LS: May have a cup of Greek Yogurt to boost my protein.
Good Morning Gang. Thanks for starting us off Mel. I had to pick up a co-worker who dropped her car off for repairs and then took her to get a rental. Irvin and I got a lot done this past weekend and we are both tired. The baby bunnies are in their grow out coop. Half of the garden is broken down. He pulled a couple more trucks apart to junk.
QOTD: My SIL Rachel. She's always there when I need to talk about things.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: pork loin sandwich
D: toss salad with grilled chicken
Have a great day everyone!!

Thank you for doing that TNR! I wish all humans had humanity about all things other than just themselves.
Oh my goodness how I could snuggle that Chonk! We have one feral who looks that size but sadly she is long haired and badly matted because we are the Devil Incarnate and aren't allowed in her presence. She's still holding a grudge from her TNR ten or so years ago. I've always been terrible remembering numbers.
We don't have a trail cam but need one, we are having a new visitor to the feral's feeding station who is cleaning the food completely. I think it's a new racoon, we haven't seen any new ferals. Maybe it's a bear.
Hi! I've totally missed seeing what you've said about redoing the chairs at work. Are you re-doing the wood finish or re-upholstering the seats? My mom's dining room chairs really need to be redone but without Joann Fabrics now there isn't a place to buy the foam locally so I can feel the quality. If you're replacing cushions could you say where you got it?
It is a beautiful Fall day here with bright blue skies and crisp temps. So instead of working on putting the garden to sleep I'm going to sneak away to our nearest thrift store. The pair of pants I turned down now has possibilities in my mind so crossing fingers they're still there. I'm having fun upcycling garments.
QOTD: Nutritionix, a freebie that has been easy for this technophobe.
The scale still isn't moving. I'm projecting good thoughts and can just imagine stepping on it one morning and it will really move to make up for being sluggish now.
B: my protein/collagen shake. That is going to have to change soon because it makes me too cold.
L: not hungry
D: Hopefully the last serving of the beef cubelets and veggie 'soup'.
LS: The Problem Child. Maybe a cup of FF, SF Greek yogurt and a scoop of Fuzzy Navel again. That was really delicious yesterday and a good protein punch.
Have a great weekend, hope the weather is perfect for watching Mason's football.
That looks like my bear. Last night it was raccoons running through my yard, at least 2 possibly 3. Almost all of the intruders are animals.
I woke to my back aching so I sat in my recliner for a while with the heating pad. I got the job finished that I was working on, so I accomplished something.
QOTD- I used to use my Fitbit but I haven't tracked for a while. I need to get back into the habit.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning y'all.
Not a lot happening today. My mom is just off her rocker the past few days. I am so stressed out it's not even funny. I don't even know what to do anymore. Anyways...
I hope to be able to be home for a bit today. I need to finish my closet.
QOTD: I use Lose It! The premium price is reasonable for features bigger names offer too. It's not perfect but for the price I love it. When I try others I always go back to it.
B: eggs, cheese and coffee + a damned raisin oatmeal cookie.
L: likely some ham and raw broccoli
D: ???
Good Friday Morning Gang. We had to take boiler 1 down late yesterday afternoon due to an external boiler tube leak. They made the repairs overnight and we are starting it back up now. I'll be working on the chairs again today only got a few done as I kept getting interrupted with things. Not much else going on that I'm aware of.
We might be going to watch Mason practice football tonight and possibly go watch his game tomorrow. Plans for the weekend are finishing the baby rabbits cage to move them from their mom's, break down some more of the garden, and of course watch some football on Sunday. The 49'ers and Rams was a good game last night.
QOTD: For those of you who track your meals, exercise, etc. what do you use? When I first had WLS I had a nice tracking booklet that I use for a good year. Then I moved to Myfitnesspal which I used for a while. Now when I do track (which is something I really need to back to doing) I use my Fitbit.
B: coffee and Protein shake
L: bok choy soup
D: eggplant rollups with ricotta cheese
No Y tonight. But I did hit the treadmill in the basement for 20 minutes this morning.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!
