Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
Wow summer is blowing right by, and I am too busy to enjoy most of it. Family reunion this weekend. I am taking off Friday to prepare for it. I am still waiting to see my fate in this company. I don't know when it will happen, but I am sure it won't be much longer. Other than all the regular stuff nothing much else going on. We will be heading to the beach and the end of August, and I have a trip to Costa Rica planned in October.
QOTD: Salty for sure. I have been making Beet and chickpea salad with feta and just plowing through it. I would pick cheese over any other food group.
Accountability: I am trying to stay diligent but last night I ate Coconut cake just trying to get it out of the fridge.

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Well, I made it. It was a nice quit week I wish they were all like this. My boss is back from vacation on Monday, and my anxiety is already revving up. I have a feeling the dreaded meeting is coming soon. I am just going to lay low and see how long it takes for him to catch up to me. Weekend looks kinda of normal. Gym both days and Mom duty. Weather has been either very hot or very rainy. If it is raining, I will do some more doors and windows and start baking cookies and freezing them for our trip. If it is hot and sunny I will use the pool.
QOTD: Tons of movies are filmed in Pittsburgh. The one that was actually filmed in my town was Silence of the Lambs. The catacombs were in a building that is about a mile from my home. When my dad was growing up that building was call Morganza and it was a detention center for boys. I guess if you were really bad you got locked in those chambers. It fully functioned from that land. They had farms that had animals and gardens the kids would maintain. Some would sneak out and my dad and brothers would trade cigarettes for fresh hams and food that they would steal. We were always threated as children if we were bad, we would go to Morganza. Eventually it closed and became a State-run Psychiatric center. And of course that is closed now as well.
Accountability: couple bite of Strawberry short cake.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
Enjoy the vacation, Jennifer. I just booked a place in Ocean City Maryland for the end of August. I'll be looking forward to being at the beach. Also, when I am there, I run the boardwalk every morning. It is a flat 4-mile run. I am always amazed how fast my time drops in just one week of running.
QOTD: I could not do scrambled eggs the first 2 years out of surgery, I always had over easy and put cheese and ham on top. Now, I can eat them anyway. My favorite way is deviled.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
I was able to enjoy the pool and had a wonderful picnic. However, picnic involved Strawberry shortcake, and I overate way too much. Not so much Saturday but last night after 6 I was snacking on the leftovers. Not good. The hot weather is going to continue all week. I do not see myself going to the pool after work today. I will give it till Wednesday. I am not crispy burnt, but I took in a lot of sun, so I need to remoisturize before I get any more.
QOTD: I love doing all of that stuff but usually don't because Ron is not able to do it without a lot of pain.
Accountability: I did hit the gym but overate yesterday.

That is funny!!! The come chewing. I followed the rules for the first couple years, but I chew gum now. I never had a problem but never was prone to swallowing gum in the first place.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
Was that another week that just blew buy? Only 14 days till the 4th of July. I cannot believe how fast life is going. I am officially not doing the 5K on the 4th. I was not motivated to train, and the last month of torrential down pouring rain did not help. The heat wave starts Sunday, and it looks like pool weather all weekend. I have gym booked both Saturday and Sunday. I will do Mom duty, and I am having a small picnic with friends tomorrow. I am making a Baked Italian Chicken Tthighs on Sunday I am excited about. I probably need to get my tomatoes steaked as well.
QOTD: What is one thing you know longer do only because you had bariatric surgery? Mine is Smoke. I smoked from 17 to the age of 52. I have not had once since. Sometimes I crave it, but I know the consequences and also the cost, so I am easily deterred.
Accountability: I ended up eating 3 tacos and Elote cup for dinner last night.

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.

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.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
Proud of you for staying that long. No way I would have put up with it. I made Ron switch seats on Friday so I could talk to my friend that surprised me with a quick visit on Friday. Ron Sat between us and was holding his menu so I could not see. I finally said switch seats. It worked out better since he was now by her husband. This weekend was filled with too many parties with very good food. I am done with graduation parties, and I am glad. The one party had a Pittsburgh cookie table, and I bet there were 20 kinds of cookies. The second party had a full buffet with chicken. pasta w/ 2 sauces, meatballs, roast beef, salad green beans. A huge spread. Then they had a Nacho bar, and an Ice-cream sundae bar. Tons of cupcakes. Needless to say, I ate very little yesterday fighting the scale. Oh, I also got some windows cleaned. I plan on doing another room tonight.
QOTD: I have a brother that lives in Florida. I saw him about 3 years ago. My father past in 2007 and he has never come back to visit my mother since. We were close till he got married but he was always very selfish and cheap and that's not my vibe.

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuer's
Hope your recert goes as quick and easy as you're expecting. I did get a window washed yesterday but no elliptical. It's a time management thing and I really want clean windows. Lately I have been getting heartburn. It is only after taking my vitamins and not eating anything for a few hours after. I have not changed that routine, so I am not sure why it is happening. I guess I should do a protein shake after. If it continues to flair up that is what I will try.

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Weekend was relaxing. I really had nothing but the regular gym and mom duty. I should have started cleaning windows, but I didn't. Temps never went about 65° so no pool time. I did a lot of mindless eating out of boredom. I really need to do better. I had a company come in and give me a quote on cleaning all my windows and walls. They wanted $1200 dollars. Even at $30 and hour I would not expect it to take more than 10 hours. I thought somewhere between $300 and $500. I'll start and do it myself a little at a time. Does anyone else think it was very high for a cleaning service? 3 bedrooms 3 bathroom living room dining room kitchen entryway 2 hallways and stairwells.

Glad this was a short week. I have no official plans this weekend. I do have Gym scheduled for Tomorrow and Sunday and I have mom duty. I plan on sticking to my diet plan if it kills me. I really need to get off at least 10lbs and hopefully motivated enough to do 10 more after.
QOTD: What is a habit you'd like to change or develop. I'd like to get my run back but definitely add in exercise every day.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuer's,
No complaints about the new office. But boss has still not scheduled my meeting. I have a slow leak in one of my tires and the dealer cannot take it in till Tuesday. I am not happy but not surprised with how bad the potholes are in Western Pennsylvania this year. I still wonder what my taxes pay for.
QOTD: I cut cable last year and I am saving some money, but I am not going to lie I really miss cable. I find myself searching for stuff on aps more than I am actually watching TV. However, we did buy an antenna for about $40 that brings in live TV. I only have it on our main television but when weather changes you have to move it for reception. Reminds me of putting foil on rabbit ears from years gone by.

Good morning Jenniefer and Menuer's
Well, this will be the week I know my faith in this company. I am hoping it is not as bad as I am thinking, and I have to remember it will be only a sentence of 5-7 years. So it won't be that bad. Weekend was great. They loved the Galbi and the Prime rib. We used the Texas Roadhouse recipe for the prime rib, and it came out perfect. I did get to gym both Saturday and Sunday and I was able to put away all the stuff I cleaned out of my office from the move. I am hoping the weather starts to warm up I am ready for some pool time. The pool is open and crystal clear now all we need is the sunshine.
QOTD: Pretty relaxing. I did a lot of cooking and cleaning and entertaining for the family. I did do a dry weekend not one ****tail. I really need to take off some weight. As I progress, I will let you know how it is going.
Accountability: I stayed away from desserts and most carbs. I did have a smoked turkey sandwich at the Pittsburgh Food truck festival, but I only get it once a year and it is worth the cheat.
