Sunday night 10:30 pm, a colleague called me to tell me not to worry. Um, I wasn’t worried, I was sleeping...but, what shouldn’t I worry about? She went in to tell me how valuable I am to the team and what a great talent and work ethic I have. Okay, I thanked her...but what shouldn’t I worry about? I think she’s not allowed to tell me that mgmt is pushing out my other boss...and this was her way to say I’m not getting pushed out. I guess. My foot. Well, I don’t remember injuring it either. A week ago, i woke and the top of the foot near the big toe and second toe was swollen, sore, and oddly colored. Like a green bruise. It consistently hurt, worse when walking...but not too bad today.
Hi Val
I'm sorry to hear that Your sleep was disrupted, I have a suspicion You are right that the boss You like is getting made redundant as the first step in elimination.
I have done something like that were I must have stubbed my toe and it was worse than I had though as it was sore for a while.
Good Luck, Hopefully the pain will be gone shortly

Hi JanHi All!
It did not rain much today, but the air was damp. I got my blood drawn and went to lunch with a friend. I barely stayed in calories, and had too many carbs probably, but it could have been worse. At least I did not blow it entirely and eat more, as I often have done. That was a good thing!
Roger, the first thing that popped in my head was making fried rice with the last of the rice, lol. Great minds... I congratulate you for not doing it and staying on track!
You congratulated me too soon
OTOH if You look at my earlier post today, I did do a nutrition research so as to not use to much of the rice or peas and thus I did control the calories.
I hope that the Vampires fang did not hurt or leave a mark. You would not believe how long it took me to learn I did not have to have a bruise from a blood test
Our only sunny day comes tomorrow, with rain the rest of the week. But a nice week end. The Olympic article was interesting. I used to watch several things, but since giving up cable and while I worked, I had stopped watching.I always enjoyed figure skating (minus a few judges) and the bobsleds.
Val, That is sure weird with your foot. Maybe it was bruised on your last walk, though it seems a bit ago. But glad it is better. Your company certainly keeps one guessing, No non drama there!
Take care all. Stay focused! Eat healthy!!
...Jan
At least we will have had three days of dry following the four days of dreary with rain weather before heading back for two more days of rain starting Thursday.
About the only part of the Olympics we watched was the curling and that is delayed via the DVR as is liberally larded with commercials.
Congratulations on this.

Good morning!
That is so funny about the rice! But I think controlling the proportions and having it may be far better than denying it! So congrats are still appropriate.
Alabama has bad lightening too. We rank up there and having experienced it as I was waiting in the barn with the horses, or just at home, I can vouch it seems far more fierce than what I was used to.
My daughter and I are going to see Sean Dietrich tonite who is coming to Montgomery to speak. He has columns in many Southern magazines, an online daily column, and has written several books. He relates stories of growing up in Ala. and poor people, country folk and just inspiring people he meets while traveling, mostly in Fla. Ala. and Tenn. He also plays blue grass and country in a pretty good band. Just writes about ordinary folk. It is pretty good.
Saving room for heavy hors d'oeurves that I may need to just look at a few...Being layback, the food might be Southern comfort food.
The lady that does my labs is pretty good. Aside from the stick that seems to hurt worse as I get older and more of a wuss, she is the only one who can ever get blood from my rt. arm. I have used my Lt. arm all my life and is sore from the nerve pinch every now and then. Happy to use the other. I am not sure if she ever left a mark, Maybe once in the last 10 years. You could ask the people if they can use a butterfly needle is you bruise a lot.
Hang in there Val! Hope you have a good week!
Good day to all! ...Jan

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 31 on the porch. Today is forecast to be in the high 50s possibly 60 today is predicted to be dry with rain arriving later in the day on Thursday and heavy Friday.
I had two of the Turkey and Stuffing Shelf Stable meals that came in the Holiday pack and I had one of them Yesterday as my Lunch. It was free as I would not have ordered it. I will admit it was tastier than I had remembered from when I originally tried it, And they get some crunch into the stuffing, likely from Celery. The Turkey was as bland as I had remembered it as it is a shaped and formed turkey loaf, However with the Gravy it was OK.
I would Bet a lot of money that I am remembering correctly about the Chicken and BBQ Beans It is now 230 calories, in a different tray with a different gravy for the chicken whereas in the past the Chicken picked up a nice flavor from the beans and the chicken is much smaller and I believe the beans are fewer too. As I remember it in the past the Calorie count for it was 290 but it was tasty. Now I am sorry I still have some in the cupboard after having the first of the resized one the other day. Drat !
The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

It sounds as if You would have a good time too.
I have had them do it both ways, a regular stick and one with a butterfly needle and what helped prevent a bruise was keeping pressure on the spot when the needle was removed. That seems to prevent the vein from leaking under the skin and causing the bruise. Fortunately so far I seem to have blood that clots quickly. I suspect that if I were on blood thinners it would be different, Luckily I am not on those.
Congratulations on staying on plan

Good morning!
Went to see Sean D. last nite and it was just fabulous. He is such a gifted story teller. I can not remember the last time I just laughed so much. He shares some poignant moments, sings and even sings while telling stories. We had a small buffet of " to die for" BBQ pulled pork in a cup with pickles and onions on top that were kind of gently pickled, and poppy seed chicken over rice. They were nice serving sizes you could easily count. Then one of the best pecan cinnamon bread puddings I have ever eaten. I was so glad I had saved up my calories! The funny thing is I lost my last 2 pounds this morning that puts me back at my original weight that I was like 2 weeks ago, when I was at my lowest in like 6 months. I still do not get the weight gain, or more likely why I had shown that big weight lost and regain so quickly. You never know sometimes! I also got to meet him, and he signed my book from Ellie Mae (his hound dog) and himself, and got 2 great hugs! He said he remembered my name from the comment sections when he prints his stories. I was honored! I have not seen my daughter laugh and enjoy something so much in a long time. It was a really good night.
Roger, I remember the chicken and beans as one of my favorites! I hate when they tinker with a good thing! You are doing remarkably well on your fast and NS. Better than me on a fast and regular food! I am just happy we are headed in the down direction on the scale. I do have to weigh every day to stay accountable. My daughter is doing very well,but she threw her scale away. She does better without it! She also eats a lot of Korean food, not American as such. Your articles were very insightful. The pencil thing was rather shocking and very sad. As bad as the homeless story was, it was good to see some action taken on cleaning up and getting those people help. It is a start at least and movement! Unlike so many other issues.
Val, with all the things going on at work, and you being sick and hurting, I doubt it is odd you feel that way. Even though you were out a while, for as much as was going on physically and emotionally for you in the last 2 years, I would think you would have some anxiety. Often the kind of anxiety you are feeling is a common one of waiting for "that other shoe to drop" going thru that experience you have had. Today's media, contacts and life in general give you and others that feeling. I doubt you had the rest you really needed while you were out, as it was short compared to all you have been thru and are going thru. It is important to keep your inside strong thru prayer, meditation, music, reading, just something Zen like you like. You constantly give away your energy so need to replace it positively more than other people. Hard to do... Of course, I love my small dose of Effexor which I find levels me out chemically which I need. Sensitive people often do. I need to go off it occasionally as you can get a little too unmoved as you should be sometimes, but I find for me it helps an original unbalance I have had , and I feel good it is a medical problem I have, and not a failing on my part. Wish I had known it years ago. After lobotomies and the early days of course. That last part might be just me of course!
Sorry for writing an epistle! Apparently non- movement is my thing today! Take care all! ...Jan1 -

Hi Val
If I said it appears that You may have gone for to many steps and inflamed something ?
I am happy to hear that things are back to normal with Your foot.
I suspect that Your mind is worried about what that call telling You not to worry and letting You know that the boss will have less responsibility may be the cause.
I believe that the limited time diet is helping too, Tuesday I had a Large Beef Broccoli With no Rice and a 10 piece order of Chicken Nuggets as my Lunch & Dinner and This morning I was a 1/4 Pound lower than Tuesday Morning. I ordered it with no rice to avoid that temptation
The Nuggets from the Chinese take out were better than the ones from Burger King, McDonalds and Wendy's for one simple reason. When I picked them up they were still in the fryer from my phone order and when I ate them first on arrival home they were still very hot and very Crispy.
Today will be a busy day at least until Noon, My Brother and I are planning to visit the eyeglass place to order glasses with the new Prescriptions and then out further to pick up something he ordered that has arrived and then the ShopRite Grocery Store on the way home. I plan to take a Turkey Sandwich along to eat midmorning per my diet plan.
Good Luck and Cheer Up

I was honored! I have not seen my daughter laugh and enjoy something so much in a long time. It was a really good night.
I suspect that I would not have been happy with the way they served the pulled pork, is that a Southern thing putting Pickled Onions and Pickles on top ? I would have preferred it plain with no topping or on a bun.
The Pecan Cinnamon Bread pudding sounds delicious.
Yesterday I tried mixing some Cinnamon and Sweetener on then putting the result of that on a 40 calorie slice of wheat toast lightly buttered. I thing I may have had to much Cinnamon or something as it was slightly bitter, Oh well, I tried to recreate something from my Youth that used Cinnamon Sugar and failed
I find that water retention based on what I eat does that to me, Yo Yo weighing.
It sounds as if You had a great Evening too, Whee!
You can see my comments about the revamped NS Dish in my reply to Val.Roger, I remember the chicken and beans as one of my favorites! I hate when they tinker with a good thing!

If I threw away the scale, not that I would as it was fairly expensive, near $200 so I would just stop using it the only way I could tell if I were doing good or bad for weight would be how the clothes fit and how many holes were visible on my belt
You may have seen my comment on the Pencil article. I thought the links might be interesting to You.
I would not wish something as primitive as a lobotomy on anyone.Val, with all the things going on at work, and you being sick and hurting, I doubt it is odd you feel that way.

Where else can you get 10 medicines for free for 90 days. 1 -

I do think your idea of no rice with the broccoli dish was smart, You got to eat a lot of nuggets. I know the restaurants down here do not usually have wild rice, but it a good idea! Basmati rice is not as starchy as reg. rice and is better when watching your weight. Also if you cook it, cool it 24 hrs, then reheat to eat, it loses some of the properties that makes you gain weight and raise your blood sugar. Same with potatoes. Of course that is plain rice and potatoes. Any added stuff or frying raises the risk as normal. I will have to find the name of the concept my friend experiments with.
Congrats on the quarter!

Good morning!
Another busy day. It was my granddaughter's birthday today and celebrated with Shepherds pie and chocolate cupcakes. I was actually still under my calories so a pleasant day again. Poor KFC! I really feel sorry for them. I bet the old carrier that did not win the contract is having a laugh...The IV story was way interesting too. It will be interesting to see if any changes are made. The gorilla story was quite weird. I would have objected to the cage myself...I cannot see why they could not give him a new face without the red lips and all. Then he would not look like the old racial thing, although that did not hit me at first. Always something...
We had lots of wind, but sounds as if you had us all beat. I would not like that wind with your temps! I need to survive Sunday at guest lunch. maybe then my eating will be geared towards losing, and eating for weight loss! Sure is slow going!
Have a good day, and stay warm!! ...Jan1 -

Good morning!
Another busy day. It was my granddaughter's birthday today and celebrated with Shepherds pie and chocolate cupcakes. I was actually still under my calories so a pleasant day again. Poor KFC! I really feel sorry for them. I bet the old carrier that did not win the contract is having a laugh...The IV story was way interesting too. It will be interesting to see if any changes are made. The gorilla story was quite weird. I would have objected to the cage myself...I cannot see why they could not give him a new face without the red lips and all. Then he would not look like the old racial thing, although that did not hit me at first. Always something...
We had lots of wind, but sounds as if you had us all beat. I would not like that wind with your temps! I need to survive Sunday at guest lunch. maybe then my eating will be geared towards losing, and eating for weight loss! Sure is slow going!
Have a good day, and stay warm!! ...Jan
Hi Jan
You had a nice day then, I have not had Shepherds Pie, OTOH I do know what they are and if it is made with ground beef and not lamb I am sure I would enjoy them.
I did not see anything racist with the Gorilla Statue either. I wonder if the push to get rid of it came mainly from one person.
Congratulations on staying under Your calorie goal at Your Granddaughter's Birthday.
Good Luck with Sunday Guest Lunch

I’ve been working this weekend but I also did an hour a yard work....five months of no yard work is quite a lot to catch up on. Nowhere close to being done.1
-
Hi all!
I am like you Val. I need to get out in the yard badly. I have just been too busy and have only gotten out one time. I have a ton to do also. I hope you did not over do!
I did good watching at guest lunch and just had some chicken and vegetables. Our small group met and I just wish we wouldn't eat again. I had a small cheese sandwich and chips, and skipped the chocolate chip brownies and ice cream. I barely squeaked under my calories, and am hungry from the empty carbs and wanting more chips. I do better to skip the food than control it sometimes. It was still better than I usually do though. Not much choice when you are invited to eat. Although the grandkids like lamb, we had the shepherds pie with ground meat. I think that that might be a cottage pie in England (I think), but here in America they do usually use beef nowadays..
Interesting articles.The S. Africa one was a little scary. Loved the penguin one. I hope people will leave them alone.
Sounds chilly in your neck of the woods at 39 degrees. We had a beautiful weekend, highs in the 70's and lows in the 40's. I have not checked the rest of the week yet!
Stay warm and stay safe all! have a good Monday. ...Jan 1 -

The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

Hi Val
I suspect that where You are the yard needs more maintenance too, Here the Lawns go dormant for the winter so once leaves are taken care of in the fall, Done deal
So far, Knock Wood, The snow has not been to bad, A mixed blessing as I saw one of the reservoirs Thursday and there was a lot of dry land showing that should have been underwater.
Feel better

Hi Jan
One of the drawbacks of living down south seems to be more yard work
Yard work is not my favorite past time.
I find that empty calories AKA empty carbs leave me hungry too. I suspect that to be by design if they are factory made.
The chicken and vegetables should work, OTOH the Brownies and Ice Cream sound so tempting so Congratulations on avoiding those calorie bombs and staying under Your caloric goal.
TBH I would not eat it with lamb, I prefer Beef
Reading that article it sounds as if South Africa may be going downhill rapidly.
From that articleBotched and often violent redistribution of land in neighboring Zimbabwe under ex-leader Robert Mugabe left many farms in ruins, and the drop in production triggered an economic crisis that still haunts the country.
I could see the same thing happening there.
Have a Nice Day

More humor is now posted, one image is long but funny IMO.

I'm back from walking again and 11 cents. The temperature this morning was 27 on the porch.
The Sun is out and the sky was clear with stars showing in the night sky when I started out for my walk. Yesterdays weather forecasts are saying that we could get another storm on Wednesday.

Hi All2

Good morning!
I had run around all day yesterday. I had signed in to read and was going to write later in the day, was was so tired I actually went to bed early. A rarity for me! I had payed bills , called the vet, watered plants, got my trash out and rescheduled my termite annual check all by 10 am. I was hoping to start cleaning house and realized I would need to run to the vet that day for May May's pills, I had only 2 doses left. So, off I go across town. They were expecting it in the 11 am mail, and it had not arrived. They arranged for it to be at the sister clinic which is larger and I drove there. I sat and watched the doggies in the play area there for about 20 min. to give them time to fill the prescription. She gets 6 pills a day and I got a month worth. I picked myself up from the floor after paying $256.00. Then came home, ate, and had to sit. I did a few dishes and then headed back to Montgomery at the movie theater which is actually adjacent to my vet for a later special movie from Voice of the Martyrs that my daughter in law arranged to be shown in this area. It was about the Russians take over of Romania (WW 2) and what happened to the Christians there. It focused on one family, a Lutheran minister who denounced the Communists, and his wife and their imprisonment for 15 some years. They both made it out alive, and also had several stories intertwined with that, all true. We had to have 60 people to come and she got close to 100. It did not start till 7:30 however, so I was home after 10 pm and I was beat!
Today and Weds. are catch up day with cleaning. And I get to stay home! Yay!!! Even May May is happy! It is raining here, just light so far, but I think we are getting storms later.
Congrats on finding money! I did not realize your reserves of water were a little low. Seems you have had rain, just not enough. The axe lady looks crazy and on something. Scary to think she could even climb a fence...Glad we do not have subways for perverts. That would be all I need...
Believe it or not, I did not know the N.E. had that big storm until I saw it posted by you. I missed one day of news, and nothing was on the computer locally about it. That is weird.. The pictures were amazing. And terrible for those who lost their things. Cannot believe the cold. I guess we will get it Weds. nite and Thurs. I have to regather plants and cover them. Expected that though. It will probably kill my blueberries and azalea blooms, which are just formed. That is sad..
Poor plants will be all confused. I feel for our friend, who had a peach orchard. I am afraid it will damage all his trees too, I hope not.
Headed for humor! I am still behind! Thank you for posting! Have a good day! Stay warm!! ...Jan

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 35 on the porch.
Yesterdays weather forecasts that were saying that we could get another storm on Wednesday appear to be happening. So far It is only wet outside with a wet snow falling and it is only sticking to cars and the lawns.

It sounds as if You had a very busy day, I was out and did four stops myself, it must be catching. At least I only went for around $60 and not $256 like You did, Ouch
No Wonder You were tired. It sounds like a inspirational movie.
We did have wind damage all over the tri-state area from the TV news coverage, They did not mention Pennsylvania however I'm pretty sure they took a beating too. They were still restoring power to people that had lost it and did not expect to finish before this next Nor' Easter arrives later today. From the news broadcasts it seems that some of the ones that had no power from the last one are predicted to have it restored this Friday, Hopefully. That will depend on how much damage the forecast winds do today.Today and Weds. are catch up day with cleaning. And I get to stay home! Yay!!! Even May May is happy! It is raining here, just light so far, but I think we are getting storms later.
