ABSOLUTELY - you should never give up and ignore it. especially acid reflux. Be kind to your esophogas (: good luck!marsellilove wrote: »Saw the RN today and she gave me the side eye most of the time, sorry lovely RN lady I know I’m a terrible patient but this is the year I intend to end the “ignore it till it goes away” mentality. But we are doing a trial run with a prescription acid reducer and if that doesn’t help by the end of the month we’ll look into referring me to a GI specialist.

Ran into coworker at work - seems their entry level person left and they are short staffed. I know a temp looking to stay so I asked my coworker if I could forward a resume - you never know.
Look for another drawer to dejunk or cuddle with dog. Hmmmmm
Wishing all a good night.1 -
13k steps today and I was in a major calorie deficit most of the day until my aunts birthday dinner rolled around. I cooked dinner and drank wine while cooking and then drank wine while eating. I love a good bottle of wine with good company.
It was some butter-licious shrimp scampi too. Oh well I have good and healthy food to munch on for the rest of the week ( ˘ ³˘)♡3 -

I have a cafe table (full of paperwork) in my kitchen, and then there's the bedroom. It's a tiny studio, so no living room. *sob*

I didn't realize you were in Manhatten, that makes a lot of sense!1 -
THURSDAY
Good morning,
PB2 with a little oil in my oatmeal and no sugar on top. Small steps.
Seems closet is my next thing to tackle (luckily I only have one - but like many it is the place to throw things). I ended up not dejunking last night what a surprise.
Marsel - coworker has an apt for her own heartburn before it becomes worse. Is alcohol one of your "better to avoid" items? That list can vary from person to person and dr to dr. Wow great step count. Good for you.
Okay time to get back to my routine. Lurking from work.
Wave to all who follow.1 -
Morning all! Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and successful day. Have to hit the grocery this morning en route to the office. Cupboard is getting pretty bare, and that is when I get in trouble.
My office is in the middle of the city in a deep cul-de-sac that isn't in walking distance of any restaurants, and we only have a small vending area. The food trucks discovered this and there are days that the cove looks like an episode of Food Truck Roundup! Usually yummy, but hard on the pocket book and the waistline so I try to keep frozen meals on hand. My latest obsession is Healthy Choice Korean Beef Power Bowls. SPICY!!
24 (brrrrrr!!) degrees this morning with a wind chill in the teens. This southern girl does not like the cold! Come oooooon summer!4 -
I branched out into the other parts of the forum and golly geeze some of these people are so negative, I just want to say I love you guys and your positivity in the key to success!4

I wouldn't want to venture out for lunch very often there either! Traffic is horrendous always. So glad I got out and moved to a small town. I prep food on the weekends and bring a full week's worth to work on Mondays. Such a stress relief to not make decisions about what to eat.
The town in which I work has three Mexican, two Chinese, two local diners with daily buffets, a BBQ joint and a steakhouse along with McDonald's, Hardees, Sonic, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and Domino's. Other than that, food choices run to Wal-mart deli and gas station chicken. It takes less than three minutes driving to get to any of them, but I'd rather not be tempted.
Plus food allergies make it really hard to eat something I have not prepared. I'm allergic to black pepper for one thing. Who doesn't use black pepper?
Enjoy your Power Bowl!5 -

Oh it definitely has been one of the major triggers but last night I was surprisingly okay, didn't sleep well but not due to any heartburn related symptoms, just from over indulgence (-_-;) this is one of many reasons I'd like to kick weekday drinks.
I see people talking about frozen meals! Have any of you guys tried the Wildscapes frozen meals? I'm not big on the usual range of frozen meals (usually because between 3 girls I don't have freezer space) but these have intrigued me as a good back up to keep at the office.

4700 steps Woefully short of any goal. Spent day in satellite office and it was roasting hot. They went from no heat at all to bake-at-350 heat there. Was really uncomfortable. Did not eat much there because heat killed appetite but, unfortunately, when I got home and resumed a normal temp, the appetite returned and I was in the red.
Will have to see if I can get any extra steps in today. The office gym has been pretty busy lately with all the cold weather and the machines have been full.
Luckily (maybe) both of my offices are far from fast food. One is about 15+ minutes away from a few places, the other is pretty isolated with only a little mom & pop convenience store about 30+ minutes one way. So I don't have the time or ability to just run out ad grab fast food or grocery. That forces me to make my own meals.
marsellilove - i havent really ventured out into other parts of the forum. how are they negative? guess i am spoiled by being here because I thought they were all supposed to be positive & supportive like this one!2 -
Serial starters... the name makes me giggle. I am for sure one of those. Working MFP for motivation and accountabilty.

I saw a thread that had a considerable amount of people calling hypothyroidism a "trendy disease" that and that made me pretty angry. Other threads just aggressively shooting down innocent steps towards a healthier lifestyle. Basically everything I was afraid of coming in contact on the forum before I found this wonderful community.Serial starters... the name makes me giggle. I am for sure one of those.

Welcome! These are wonderful people to stay accountable with!

frozen dinners - healthy choice (mildly spicy) are my go to lately, but I am finding recipes online to make myself to lower the sodium content.
waiting for help at work - have to retrieve a claim that I made irretrievable - not willing to confess to person I should go to, she has already insulted me once today.
Marsel- I have seen what is possible from other boards so I dont wander too far- glad we can keep you on the right path without too much negative energy

I've been lurking for the past week. Another serial starter stepping right up! 🖐. I have to say this is a wonderful supportive group. I enjoy reading these posts. I'm a serial starting that after about 10lbs I give up. Not this year!!! I have much more determination and read the forums every single day for support! It makes a difference3

marsel- I went online and checked wildscapes frozen and if they would specify what "spices" are it would please me more. I am allergic to coriander/cilantro (seed/plant) and many of the new fangled food embrace this spice which is fine- I just cant eat it. Will take a closer look at the store, my store supposedly carries it........
on mental break from work - thats the toilet flush you just heard - sick sense of humor.2 -

Toilet flush - LOL. That is a tough spice to be allergic to. Any spice really would be a pain in the butt, but this is a popular one!
Welcome ashrymom and tiff! this is a pretty great group! We all get to lounge on Lana's deck chairs and have Cabana boys serve us whenever we wish!
Lana - speaking of which save me a seat. But now that I know you live in Manhatten - that paints an entirely different picture of my time spent
Tillie's mom - I hope the help at work came without the looks. I find it horrible how people treat others. some of my workforce I swear think mistakes are made on purpose! We all make mistakes.
My day is almost done - have a great one. Supposed to be a high of -1 farenheit tomorrow. I'm staying in bed!2 -
Remember I said I nearly took a fall on the mat at work? It seems that is almost a daily occurrence and some people do find the floor. Before worker's comp cases get filed- word has it they are looking for a heavier mat......
Closet here I come to dejunk.

one of the stores I shop at have a members card to save more, I have stopped using it - but I still shop there, I put discounts on my card online- luckily I did not change the password.
I must venture into the closet to see what I can work on. I found 5 large items that when I get a safe passage to them, they are going.

Wow Sara - for all these that you and I have had The Beach Club, I did not know about your coriander/cilantro thing. My DH Brian has the same thing, among his many allergies. Indeed it is a very popular spice/herb.
Just had to pop up and say that. Huh, we "know" each other, but there is still so much more to know. Flush on, Brave Lady !!! LOL!
Big hugs every day to you, my dear friend~~

PS Sara -
I don't mean to worry you, but I thought I saw Mario hanging around near the eastern-most end of our Beach Club this evening. It might be time to post another warning photo of him. He's nice enough, but he does tend to linger too long along the property line......
and the new folks might not know to look out for him. He is NOT a part of our Club!
I know Miss Tillie knows to get after him. Her barking alerts The Cabana Boys.

Lana may I ask that if Mario makes an appearance then so should Alejandro - we could scare some of the newer posting members away if only Mario is posted -
A while back - year or more - I sent Lana a card I purchased as a Cabana Boy 'dont'. Not exactly someone you would want your daughter to bring home. Did the card name him? I think so.
My allergy makes eating out sometimes difficult especially if the place is "California Cuisine" I sometimes have to eat appetizers - so three reasons I dont eat out much - too much $$, too much salt and coriander/cilantro.
One of the cafe specials tomorrow is tomato soup and grilled cheese. Tempting but I will see what the other options are. My lunch/dinners have been too much of the same so I will buy lunch.
Time to curl up with the "old lady" Miss T.

FRIDAY
Good morning,
Miss T let me sleep to my normal time - then we had play time. Such a good girl.
We had our departmental meeting and the word respect and teamwork came up - at one point at another job I had this coworker who got on my nerves so I wrote the word respect down and made 7 lines one for each letter to remind me that if I didnt leave this coworker alone I could lose my job. Thinking of doing so again- just to stay under the radar.
Lana has put up the Mario alert (she doesnt always we can get Mario bombed) but let me take responsibility for the fact that I did buy this card and started the chain of events. Almost lovable in a pitying sort of way
- he probably laughs all the way to the bank off his royalties. May Mario only pass through your life and remind you of the truly beautiful wonderful people you do have in your world.
Too long for a Friday - but there it is.
TGIF big time - lurking from work.

4371 steps. had the start of a migraine at work, so took meds and went straight to bed. thankfully, meds kicked in before it became a full blown migraine. it kept # of steps down but also kept calorie totals down, so at least there was that.
Lana - I had almost forgotten about Mario! Was wondering what ever happened to him!
Sara - there has been plenty of toilet flushing at my work as well! haha hope your workday goes well, under radar, and easy work. if Mario does show up, then - YES - Alejandro MUST show up as well to keep us in balance! It would be for our own good!
brennerjlb - -1temps? i dont think i want to know what the windchill would be at that temp! the windchill here is -18 and most of the schools had a 2 hour delay because of it. i dont remember ever having a school delay other than when the roads were impassable when I was a kid.1 -
I feel like there is a story behind Mario...1
