I am around...reading not posting because work is crazed but I took a couple minutes today. Been a rough couple of weeks. this time of year is tough for me. Eating has not been good, reminded me why I used to weigh 400 pounds but getting myself in check.
Having trouble with my long term covid, have decided Im not waiting for my eyesite to "correct itself" its been a year and i just wnat to see so made an eye appointment.
havent had anything but coffee today. Have to drive a good ways for an errand so Im thinking of taking a low carb bun and putting a mcdonalds burger in it. Dont do that very often but its an easy thing to do while I drive.
QOTD: COFFEE MAKER!!!!! We have a convection oven so dont own an air fryer Husband does love his indoor electric grill.
If it's any hope my second shot was absolutely horrible and had i not known i would have gone to the ER but my booster was a horrendous headache and sore arm For 24 hours
JBQ PSA:
She made it in to work, though it sounds like she shouldn't have...the wait for coffee was over An hour!!!! A travesty of epic proportions if you ask me.
she had to dodge too many downed trees to count but is safe. Will check in when internet and life allows.
i feel confident Grim will have something delicious waiting for her when she does make it home
Well it's 6:45 and I need a nap. Badly . I would've stayed home, but I never do that-ever.
QOTD: no i won't. I just don't spend money on "extras".
I am not sure what I'll eat today. I ate something that didn't agree with me last night. I went to bed feeling nauseous and still not feeling great this morning. Didn't even bring coffee. Maybe nothing if this keeps up
I wanted the venganless chicken seasoning and i don't think they had it anymore but i did get some powdered cheese
QOTD: blue. All the blues!!!!
we went to Omaha yesterday(2 hours) for just a quick get away. We went to Cheesecake Factory and I was beyond sad to see they discontinued my favorite meal. I ordered a turkey burger-then wish i hadn't- kitchen manager came out and said then turkey wasn't right and pick something else and they would comp me. They comped both our lunches(not expected!!) so we only had to pay for the low carb cheesecake we shared.
we basically grocery shopped at all the good place**** 2 local coffee roasters, a low carb bakery and came home.
I did get this jalapeño cauliflower dip at Trader Joe's that was amazing!!!
Not super exciting but we needed the time away and it was nice. Needless to say was up 2 pounds for no good reason as I 100% was on plan.
coffee
and after that my day is a blur!!!
Oh man I need this weekend! Working in a good ole boys network is tough to swallow sometimes and this week was rough!! Last night i came home and had a vodka & Diet Coke and fell asleep Fully clothed at 830. I have Monday off too so i need this!!!
coffee w/creamer
egg bake
dinner out. Probably grilled chicken and a salad
I am dead. I cannot wait to sleep away my weekend. I took Monday off because i can. Hubby is a professor and it's fall break. So we are going to "the big city".
QOtD: hated them pre op love Them now(even crave them) but now worth the RH.
coffee
shake
mexican egg bake in a low carb pita
greek yogurt with cinnamon & Monk fruit
I have been plugging away. I really wanted to get back to the gym or walking at night but Long term Covid just isn't allowing for it. Trying to walk as much as i can at work because no matter what I'm dead by the time i get home from work.
got my vitamin levels back From the doctor. Everything is hanging on low normal. So thats good. He gave me pain meds for the covid pain and it does help So another win.
QOTD: since losing weight I am a HUGE Tshirt person and i fold them Konmari Style to keep them looking good and preserve space. So. Many. Shirts.
black coffee
either a shake or a jimmy johns unwich(lunch meeting)
Mexican style egg bake on 90 second bread
Where can I get more information about this helping with inflammation? I have a friend who this may help. Can someone lose weight eating like this?
Not sure what size/style you need but I have great luck with pants at Costco. They have nice pull on pointe pants for dress and cute athletic leggings!!
You haven't tried to sell me one. What is it? I already feel like I need it!
I read suze Ormans book and enjoyed it. I appreciate that she is still in touch with reality even though she's Uber rich. I get sick and tired of rich financial gurus giving "advice" that is not in touch with every man's day to day reality. I'm not 50 but put it up for reference and it helped me focus now for future preparation
I really wanna post Friday pictures but don't know how....any tips?
QOTD: Bel Canto Ann Patchett or anything by her.
my sister always says she would read her grocery list if she could it has to be so well written.
food:
black coffee(it going well!!)
maybe a shake?
not sure about dinner my mother in law will here and we are Making everyone else brats but I don't tolerate pork post op so I'm not sure.
QOTD: i love my coffee boiling. All other things, let's just say I have an external ice maker for my ice enjoyment!
today at work we are having a lunch walk. I assembled a team so Inhave to go but my bones feel like they could crack in two at any moment
coffee
healthy lunch(company provided)
hellofresh! We got the meat/veggie menu and are having a taco meal and just replacing the flour tortillas with low carb options
I buy zero carb bread at Costco. They also have buns for hamburgers and hot dogs. I have bought Aldi too but prefer Costco
When i lived in a huge metro I wore them all the places and never ran into any bod I knew. Then i moved here, wore them once, Ran in to EVERYBODY I knew and quit. Fast forward....i just don't care my body hurts all the time and they're comfortable so I wear what I want. I answer to no one but the Lord and my husband and neither cares.
shake
mexican egg bake, salad
turkey and cheese(maybe haven't been feeling great)
JBQ-somcoming off the bad work week comment I read you were so sick of CHILDREN and Inwas like WOW she needs a time out!
but chicken, freeze it for down the road :)
If you only heard faint sobbing i must have already tired myself out
Well My hell weeks are over at work...so new ones begin. Ha! I went to my new doctor and it went well. He actually was familiar with some of the surgery protocol and willingly ordered everything suggested for my annual blood work. Had that done yesterday.
He also gave me a peracription for pain meds to try and help with my severe bone pain, no luck. But he said call in a week if it is t helping.
5 days ago I gave up diet Coke(waaaaaa) and my morning coffee with creamer. Trying to see if giving up carbonation would help with the bone pain as it can cause calcium loss in bones. I will do anything at this point!
food:
black coffee(attempting not sure)
shake
salad
mexican chicken egg bake(not as fancy as it sounds but pretty good)
my stomach has not been great lately so I'm trying to eat pretty plain. I do put some quest protein chips and edamame on my salad for protein
What is it they? Crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Whyyyy do I keep letting Mondays happen?
QOTD: before surgery-Taco Bell all day, every day. Now? I love the insides of McDonald's sausage McMuffin . I cannot find a sausage at the store that tastes anything like it. Rarely eat it but love it!
shake
coffee
half a burger on smart bun
my last Serving of this soup I made that I Hate!
QOTD: my neme-sissy is my besties ex who kinda broke her :( what a boob
getting ready to go to some symposium thing for work where we have a table and will be on my feet all day. I put out a protein bar and it's safely sitting where i left it so accidental fast! There's nowhere to get food there.
coffee!!! Coffee!!
Diet Coke with coffee.
not sure about dinner we are wanting to take my nephew to the college cafeteria because it's so fun but it depends on when i get back.
otherwise my super gross soup....it's almost gone!
Ugh. 2 more days. I try not to wish away my life but.......
QOTD: i used to do a pedicure but I'm trying to let the nails grown out and not look so damaged. I love to eat out. No dishes!!! But we live far from restaurants. Well, i guess i better figure something out.
went to a steak house last Night. Had grilled chicken and went to have green beans and they tasted really sweet so i left Them. I can't make chicken juicy enough at home to eat so i can only eat It when I'm out.
today:
shake
coffee
turkey soup
half a burger
maybe something else. I have some yogurt i should eat but don't want to :)
