Good morning,
Going for hair cut. Just got off phone to cancel my newspaper - I almost had to be rude to the woman - I have no trouble getting paper I can no longer afford it and would rather not say it 4 times. I got her employee # and cancelled ahead of time - I am hoping there is no further trouble.
New hairdresser, we shall see and if the $$ went up.
BBL.1 -
Thank you for your good thoughts for pup. She seems much better, with pain meds. Until, she lays around, wakes up stiff and SO panics...
Kathryn -it's ok, if all goes well, I will still be selling Scentsy .... so, there's plenty of time to save...
So, somehow, I ended up with tummy bug... no one at work is sick.. but, never know about clients...I felt perfectly fine Tuesday when I went to bed... then, woke up at 5:00am with the worse nausea...I hate calling into work, especially when I've only been there 6 months... thankfully, they are very understanding...I feel better, today... just tired and a lingering headache... Will be back to work, tomorrow...1 -
Good evening,
Dawn, better to stay home for everyone - you,coworkers, animals and owners. Drink lots of water and hope you sleep well.
Hairdresser prices went up slightly so still a place to go to. New hairdresser cuts differently but no weird haircut so all is well.
Meatless day - the nourish bowl was worth eating again - how often I dont know. Quiche for dinner is broccoli swiss cheese.
Got really cold and is raining- so definite snow in mountains . We need it all.
Wishing all a good night.1 -
Sara - I wonder if no more newspaper will mean Tillie will sleep through that usual time?
I hope your new haircut is looking good for you~~
Dawn - Feel better soon!
Kathryn - I'm with you on the plants coming up and then getting frozen again. Crossing fingers, but we haven't even gotten to March yet!
Waves to Tess and Saltine and Annie and Missy and anyone else who stops by to say hello~~

Thinking about what I was eating when I was on WW - I made a list of 3 things that worked - added "no cookies" to the list and we shall see- dr apt in 2 weeks - need to have a better game plan for long term.1
-
Was dark dismal day here. Just enough rain to be annoying. Wind was biting cold. I like the 70 degree days much better!
Dawn - take it easy and dont push yourself. one of the bugs going around here hits you one day, you feel better, then hits you again like a truck crushes you. make sure no fever before you try to go back to work. you and your pup take it easy!
Sara - may try the nourish bowl. hope no paper means more sleep for you! most of the newspapers around here are online or we read it at library. was wondering, have they used the doggie DNA to fine people yet?
Had 4" of hair whacked off last night (trying to get hair all one length) When I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror, I'm startled! LOL Will take a bit to get used to, I guess.1 -
FRIDAY
Good morning,
Rain will be back start of next week.
Newspaper was only thing I did to stay up to date on the news. How much will I miss? Dont know.
Kathryn - April is the dreaded start of poop patrol. Many dog owners have actual flashlights as their phones dont really work well (shock). Your day and mine rain wise were similar - very cold rain - had possible hail in areas, but mountains are getting much needed snow.
Wave to all who follow. TGIF1 -
Friday. Finally. Yesterday was National Margarita Day - hope the C-boys took note and have warmed up the blender.
Cold temps and rain have returned to the nation’s capital. Blech.
Finally returned to working with a trainer on Wednesday after 3 weeks of postponing sessions due to illness. Felt good to find some muscles I forgot I had.
Only a few more hours until the weekend. Hope the day goes smoothly for all. Waves and BBL.
Tess2 -
we have frost and fog - does that make frog??3
-
Tess - I am heartbroken I missed National Doughnut day and National Margarita Day- scale wise good thing but child inside is not happy - hot chocolate after dinner - will have to leave note on cboys bulletin board and alsoget an update on their intervention going on in Lana- land.2
-
Thank you all for your good thoughts...I'm back at work, today... not feeling the best... but, better...I never had a fever... temp was actually low.... haven't ate much since Tue.... just got a Sub and ate only half, trying not to push too much, but was getting really shaky...
Everyone stay warm and dry... temps up a bit, here but calling for rain until Sun... definitely Spring like weather, coming... yay...haha
Everyone have a good day...1 -
Dawn - glad you are feeling better. just remember not to push yourself while sick.
Tess - glad to hear you are able to get back with trainer. i need to get back into exercise habit!
Sara - you can catch news on your computer or phone. easy way to keep up to date.
and, yes, i suppose freezing fog would be "frog"! haha
busy weekend planned with travel & jeep stuff. should be able to get in all my steps and more! Monday means travel for work again. Not thrilled with that.
Have a great weekend!
*waves to all who drop in*1 -
Here is a freezing frog for Friday~~

Hello All~~
Must make note to self to look up what a Nourish Bowl is.
Kathryn - your weekend sounds good. How far do you travel when you travel for work? Is it driving in your car or flying somewhere? (I will travel vicariously with anyone anytime!)
I hope that you are getting used to and liking the hairstyle you see in the mirror.
Dawn - Are you feeling any better? I worry when peeps don't eat and feel shaky. Do you have the weekend off to help recuperate, understanding where you live and that it's probably a livelier place and one can't expect peace and quiet. I do hope you spring back towards feeling much better. You and miss Puppy.
Tess - good for you! Working out with a trainer after having been sick lately. Does the trainer look like anyone we should recruit for the Cabana Boys? Hmm?
Sara - So how auspicious a date is that - April Fool's Day - for the Puppy Poop Patrol Program to launch? Have you decided on a flashlight? I hope that you have a good weekend. How are you liking your new haircut?
Things are good here. Groceries were delivered today, so I have fresh broccoli and salad greens and onions and scallions and carrots....along with a bunch of other "on program" things.
I'm hoping that the weather will change and I can get in some walks without aches and pains.
I wish that I could jump into my swimming pool! Only 56 degrees though.

Lana - poor frozen frog...hope your leg feels better... enough to walk at least...I do work this weekend... luckily, not full days...I'm feeling "ok" I made it half way through my Sub at lunch and that was all I could do...very, very tired...SO grilled chicken, cooked asparagus and baked beans..I had half a piece of chicken and a little asparagus... not so sure it was a good idea...I know I should eat lighter, just trying to eat filling...I'm in bed and not sure I'll be awake much longer... morning will come too early...
Kathryn- enjoy your weekend! It always takes me a bit to get used to shorter/different hair...but, I like changing and, I always say "It's hair, it'll grow back"
Tess - good luck with trainer! I'm so self conscious, I have a hard time working out with anyone else...
Sara - glad you didn't get a funky hair cut...I get nervous when I change girls... it's really nice, now that Sis is hairdresser... just don't get to see her often enough...
Well, feeling extra tired... everyone have a good night...

Dawn, bananas / rice/ applesauce / toast - even put applesauce on toast..... I got a couple cans of chicken soup just to have in the house.
It is cold enough here where if I bundle up with dog- it is easy to fall asleep.
Frozen frog - Lana!! It made me feel cold and I was hoping frog was okay.
Have filing taxes on my to do list this weekend - how should I reward myself?
Duck Soup Marx Brother's movie on dvd from Netflix - have never seen their movies.....
Wishing all a good night.1 -
ahhh, the B.R.A.T diet and chicken soup! lived on that the last part of dealing with my flu. it really does help the tummy.
Dawn - hopefully if you get that kind of food, no one else will eat it! sure hope you get to feeling better soon.
Lana - how is your leg feeling? the travel for work does not require airfare (at least not right now). have to drive to satellite venues for meetings and presentations that could (and should) be accomplished by email. really its not that big of a deal overall but it is kind of irritating because i took this job so i wouldn't have to drive/travel much.
[my last job promised not much travel and I ended up travelling (flying around the 54 states and territories) an average of 2 weeks out of every month for several years!]
Sara - never seen Marx Brothers? they are classic and soooooo much more entertaining than the 3 stooges! good luck with taxes. we still have to file ours and i am dreading it.1 -
Speaking of old movies/ shows... I've been watching Andy Griffith a lot...I really enjoy that show... tonight, "Business Man's Special" was a hollowed out tomato, with Avocado and raisins... why did we stop eating so simple? Not sure about the raisins, but that sounds pretty good! Now, it's so "creative" that what ends up on yer plate, barely looks edible....sometimes, I really think, I was born at the completely wrong time... things were so much simpler, then... even the food...1

Sara - saw this and thought of you and the Puppy Poop Patrol Program! hahaha!

SATURDAY
Good morning, dog up and fed.
Kathryn - if that is a poop vacuum, you are the second person to suggest this - imaging cleaning that??
I did enjoy Duck Soup, it is better than the Three Stooges - and some of their stuff is classic - glad it was only an hour long. Stopping Netflix is my next budget move - I have had it for 10 years maybe and nothing appeals to me anymore.
Dawn - I made a list of some of the things I had for dinner when I started WW and will bring those back. My dinners became too large and starchy. Our "super sized" society is not always realistic. Your stuffed tomato sounded good. You could also bake the tomato and put eggs and ham in it.....

Dawn - you have got something there with the simple food. In fact, that's sort of where Weight Watchers has gone, I think, with their 200 Zero Point foods. Just simple, basic foods.
I get into trouble with my fondness of mayonnaise and olive oil and butter and salad dressing. Those "cost" points/calories.
I haven't joined WW again. I would if I had more spending money available. It is a lot of money for the program, plus because the nearest WW location is outside the perimeter of the free busses here, bus fare would add $4.50 to the cost of each meeting. That makes it roughly $60 per month to do WW.
Waves to all who stop by later~~

I got a new food scale in a happy color. It cost only $14 on Amazon Prime. It's slightly cheap and cheesy plastic, but I love the happy color. Nice big numbers. Does grams, ounces, pounds, and whatever is bigger than grams, with a 12 pound capacity.
I hope this photo doesn't come out too big. (That frog came out so huge!)

That sounds yummy! Might have to try it.. my dinners are starchy and carb filled, it seems...never a good thing.. other than pasta, I'm usually pretty good with portions... pasta I just can't help but to eat too much!0 -
Lana - cost and convenience is my issue with WW.... there is only 1 meeting in town, on Thursday evening....I don't know about anyone else, I don't want to WI after eating all day... and, if I try to do it on my own without meetings, I'm too generous in portion sizes... something in my brain, if I don't go to meetings and be held accountable, I don't do well...I love your happy little scale.... need something happy to keep me motivated...0

Messed up my taxes I filed online - so I may have to send an amended tax form- just hate this. I now qualify for assistance as I am a "senior citizen" and they have people in libraries who help. Made myself a note and stuck it on a kitchen cabinet door.
Cannot print my tax form and have to wait and print it later today. AARG.
I honestly did not mean to scream at Miss Tillie - but she is hiding from me at the moment.
This too shall pass.1 -
Dawn - I wouldn't much like a Thursday after eating meeting either. The only game in town, huh? The leader would have to be pretty special for me to do an evening or late afternoon meeting.
Sara - Oh, I can't imagine how you feel about the tax return thing. Ugh. I hope that you get things ironed out. It's always something, no?
Not that long ago, I gave up on the Netflix DVDs, and I get only the streaming now. Often it doesn't seem as if there's anything appealing to watch. I don't do horror or sci-fi or non-realistic stuff. Sometimes I Google around for good movies hiding in Netflix. I watched an art-housy film yesterday that's nominated for foreign Oscar, I think. "On Body and Soul"; a man and woman who work together are having the same dreams....OK, so it's non-realistic, but realistic enough.
Today I'm watching a strange "A Perfect Day" w Tim Robbins and good cast about a Medecins Sans Frontieres-type of group stumbling around Serbia and Croatia at the end of that conflict/war.....going to watch the second half now......
Lana
I logged all my food so far, and I am still in the green!1 -
Lana - tax update, filled out form to mail, sent check they said I owed it is 3 hour drive from here and if push comes to shove, I will not see that money - I needed to declare my Roth IRA donations for 2017 and it was worth it to keep things "honest" . I could also get that money back so who knows. I can walk away trying to be honest.
Food this week in particular dinner will include quiche, fried rice, eggs with canadian bacon/sweet potato - will get a couple "nourish bowls" for lunch as well.
Had Chinese chicken salad for dinner and drank too much coffee, so water on tap for rest of evening.
Wishing all a good night.1 -

Ugh... taxes... they scare my dogs, too...0 -
Lana - great job on tracking! I really should get back to that... yes, that is the only game in town...I don't know if it's same leader from many years ago...I liked her... but, not enough to spend a Thursday not eating, cuz I don't want a terrible WI... plus, that is my day off.. so, I'd be wasting more gas than if I was already in town working... and, it would put me at home late.. so, more chance of grabbing fast food or eating junk for dinner...hmmm...the more I type, the more I'm definitely not talking myself into joining...0

I’m turning 46 tomorrow. I started MFP 2 years ago when I wanted to lose 10lbs. I didn’t understood how to work with it, stopped working out and gained 10lbs instead of losing 10lbs. Would love to join the group for motivation3
