Yay, welcome back Jean!!! Sounds like a delicious visit to San Diego!!
Mihani, take the break!!! It'll feel so nice
Even to break your rules, lol. I am actually going to see a movie tomorrow night, which I never do on work nights! We will continue to live our same alternate lives in abutting countries, lol.
Laura, hope your kids tire themselves out enough during their hyper day before you get home! haha.0 -
Glad to see you Jean!
What movie did you see Lia? I ended up bailing on going out for drinks last night. I have a serious case of tired grumpiness. What day is the wedding? Is everything all ready?
newme, I loooove lentil soup. I just make a pretty basic concoction of a bag of lentils, diced carrots, celery, onion and potato, veggie broth and spices. I change up the spices depending on my mood or what's front and center in the cabinet, but one trick I've learned is that a little vegan liquid smoke adds a really nice smoky flavor. I also often throw in a handful of greens (spinach or kale) towards the end of simmering time.
I haven't done too well this week. Tired = cravings. I can't seem to stay in the groove, but going to keep trying!

Hi all! Last night was my daughters last soccer game of the season. Was really great to see her back out there. Very thankful she at least got to get in the last two games rather than being out for the whole season. Her heel seems to be holding up fairly well. We are still going to force her to take the summer off as I think it would do her some good. Dinner last night was an epic fail. Soccer games right at dinner time coupled with a late work day is not a good combination. Today is a new day though, so, focusing on that and moving forward.
I have been immensely enjoying not juggling school any more. I actually spent a little time on Tuesday night folding laundry. I know that seems kind of silly to be excited about doing that, but, to just have the time to do something as simple and basic as fold laundry rather than living out of baskets of unfolded clothes is a pretty nice luxury to have! lol
Liapr - ohhhh...out to the movies on a work night??? Whoa. That really is living dangerously...I am not sure I could break that rule myself! I have been thinking a lot lately about how I tend to box myself into my life with a list of rules. Good for you for being a rebel! Have an awesome time!
Mihani - I hear ya on the tired grumpies. Hope you got some sleep and are feeling ready to take on the day! Thanks for the tips on the lentils. Going to give it a try!
OK folks - off to break some more rocks...er...get back to work. ;-)0 -
Laura, that is exactly what I do!!! Box myself into life with lists, haha, that is perfectly put. I am already a bit frantic about saying yes to it actually because I know that means I'll have to quickly put together stuff later on at night lol. Throws off my little routine!
Mihani, I took a page from your book. I didn't have time to prepare lunch today so I made a giant smoothie with a giant amount of spinach! That'll be my lunch. I'm going to see Mad Max tonight! I really enjoyed the original 1 and 2. Did you get some sleep to help the grumpiness? By the way, the wedding is June 27!!! Exactly one month yesterday. Getting crazy! I have my wedding shower and bachelorette party on Saturday so I am not expecting a model ETL weekend lol. My main goal is not to be hungover on Sunday!
We also had a weird dinner night last night. We had our meeting with our planner, which was great, but we got back later. My dog was with my parents so we decided to have a dinner out for a change! They now have this delicious tofu fajita option at Jack Astors! It was really yummy and lots of veggies but my gosh the oil in the stir fry portion!! Ahh my stomach felt like I ate a ton of bricks afterwards!! Oh wel.0 -
I haven't heard much about the new Mad Max. Mel Gibson was oh so dreamy when he was young though. I loved Lethal Weapon. The first two. After that they got pretty stupid, I never even saw past the third. How was your smoothie?
Laura, so glad you are enjoying yourself and you sound much happier and more relaxed already. I think you made a wise decision! I had to laugh about living out of baskets of clean clothes. I do that all the time! Every couple months I put everything neatly away and it lasts a couple weeks max. But those two weeks are really nice. Glad your daughter got to play.
I am slightly (slightly) less grumpy today. I don't know if I can take the whole weekend off as planned, but definitely taking Saturday. I need to do something about this house. Did better on food today.0 -
I skipped leg day today. Only the 3rd workout I missed in 13 weeks. Not too shabby...
Half marathon is in 2 more sleeps!! I'm only nervous about not being able to zone out. I'm pretty much addicted to my Zombies, Run! app, and using devices during the race is not exactly prohibited, but it's strongly discouraged. I was thinking about putting my earbuds around my neck and blasting it so I can still hear it, but I'd still be alert to everything around me because they wouldn't be right in my ear... I wonder if that would work...??
I have been really lazy about my food prep lately. Grabbing whatever's convenient - and most of the time it's carbs... NOOoooOOooOooOOOOoooooOOOooOoo!!!!!!!
On Monday I'm going to really focus on being strict about my carbs again. THAT was when I had the most success in dropping weight... And I'm sick of the weight creeping back up. SICK. OF. IT!!!

GO KARRIE!!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes, you've worked so hard!0

Karrie, how did it go?
I took yesterday off, was going to get all this stuff done and instead mostly napped. Spent most of today in the office, but taking tomorrow off. Not for any fun reason, it's my pre-op tests for my carpal tunnel surgery. Ugh.
We need a June thread, I will think about that and get something going. I know several people who went to the Rolling Stones concert here last night so I keep thinking Jumpin' Jack June lol.0
