Sara- I need an entire case of spray, please... rain supposed to start tomorrow night... freezing rain Friday morn... up to .50" of ice... oh boy..
Cheerios - that sounds like a great plan! I have a lot of trouble with Carbs, myself... haven't quite been able to figure out the trick to fix that...
Today wasn't a bad day... and, then, BOOM! Co worker had to be sneaky, cause issues between boss and myself and got in a huge fight with the boss.. not fired.. he did tell me, to get on board or find another job... wonderful way to end the day...0 -
Hello All~
It's almost bedtime! Long day; Thursday and Friday will be busy too. Getting ready to go to NC on Saturday.
Sara - glad the rain is going to give you a break for a couple of days. Get Miss Tillie out there! LOL~
Waves to Cheerios and Missy and Dawn and Annie and Sam~~

Dawn - sending you good vibes to weather whatever is the storm at work! We don't need this stress!

Lana- Thank you...I truly wish I could walk away... just love those furry babies too dang much..0

I have a question... for dinner, we had steak, baked potato and green bean casserole...I was still hungry when I stopped eating... mainly cuz I didn't eat enough thru the day... I almost never eat my whole steak...I eat more of the sides... my question is: should I eat all the steak? If it's huge, I never could... my friend said, she pretty much only eats whatever meat they're having for dinner, says that's the best way...protein, protein, protein... just trying to figure out a good way for myself...0

Wednesday night
Pretty good day except for co-worker's candy dish really got me again. Have to string together a couple more better days before I dare stand on the scale. My selfies tell me my face has gotten a bit round and pants are snug, so I would expect the scale to be unpleasant.
COLD weather coming in. Not looking forward to it. Chiro appt tomorrow. I feel like my back is slowly getting better....until I get home and try to do any housework. Then it all starts hurting until I sit down. Looks like PT will start next week.
Planning for a good day tomorrow - then supper will be indulgent for DH's b-day. We are going out for Mexican. Will try to limit myself.2 -
THURSDAY
Good morning. Chicken Teriyaki today.
Dawn - is there a Vet you can work for? My Vet (Banfield) has people who walk dogs as part of their job. Sending good job thoughts. Too much steak upsets my stomach anymore. What kind of snacks do you eat in the day?
Annie - glad you have found a Chiro that works - PT is not a bad thing - your back is more important than housework.
Lana - NC, will you be there with/without DH? Wishing you long naps.
Dog had me up early, so will see about cuddling up with dog before her walk.
Took this year's privacy policy workshop at work. We are not allowed to be in chat rooms on computer at work. Had to look up what that meant.
Got to aim myself towards getting to work. Wishing all a great day.3 -
Hi Ladies
Running through - underestimated my wakeup time today.
Appointments starting at 11AM. Chemo at 3; home at 7:30PM
Dawn - Clean protein plus healthy fats are the thing. Example: Cooked chicken breast on leafy green + veggies salad with an olive oil + balsamic vinegar dressing. Drink a cup of water before eating. Eat slowly.
The protein will fill you up; the little bit of healthy fat aids in feeling satisfied.
Just an example; more later.
Annie - Happy B'day to DH tomorrow. Mexican: get fajitas? Here in NYC they are just the meat with tons of good vegetables. They serve rice and beans with cheese on the side. Maybe you and DH could split one serving of the side starch?
Sara - DH has already left on his next life adventure: he is out in Illinois for a few weeks visiting with his parents, then off to Las Vegas for him, intending it to be a permanent move. He has all of his key stuff with him in his new huge Chevy Suburban.
We talk on the phone every other day, are getting along very well, and he has been a big help the past few days getting some of my disability stuff ironed out. He can get people to do things I cannot. I am too meek and lately too fuzzy because of the treatments to effectively deal with people who are not doing their jobs right. Long story.
You all have a good day. Sara, stay out of trouble at work. :P We will see you later on~~
Hugs to all,
Lana, running!!!! I can't figure time any more......

Lana!! Sending good thoughts today - gift basket and cboy will be waiting for you. send a list of things that comfort you after your chemo to the cboys.
QOTD: I meant to post before work- How have you noticed your health changing since losing weight??
AOTD: I sleep a lot better. Have a dr apt to make for bp and that is okay runs in the family..... but getting to sleep was not easy with the extra poundage
Annie - Fajitas (steak or chicken) are usually a 2 person dinner at places here. Easy on the chips and enjoy the rest!!
Lurking from work. bbl.2 -
Oh
Annie I forgot about the fajitas being served with the tortillas. I order mine without them.
Lana3 -
Good evening,
Heavy rain most of day surprised a lot of us...... Boo on the weatherman.
Lana - I am considering making a list - "Things I want to do this year". Something to ponder.
Cold here, will make breakfast for dinner and cuddle up with dog.
Annie - I forgot tortillas, but the servings are usually so large, you could not eat them and still be full.
Wishing all a great evening.1 -
Sara
I like the idea of that list.
0 -
Annie- candy dishes are hard to pass... just log and go on... it's ok... glad yer doing a bit better... who needs to do housework, anyway...
Depends who you listen to about our weather... radio says about 3:00 am for ice... phone says 7:00 am... Will be scary, if it gets bad like they say.... half to 3/4" of ice... oh boy...
Sara- the problem is, I am so attached to the dogs we have...I hate thinking of leaving them...
I don't always snack during day...Protein bars often...
Lana- thanks for tip...I always eat slow... don't do the water... Will have to try.... hope yer day went well... glad DH has been helpful...I couldn't do all that, myself...
Mmmm...fajitas... yes please!
Stopped at store to pick up few essentials... not one loaf of bread... no chicken...I resulted to tortillas, if I need anything... this is serious stuff... crazy! 10 yrs ago to the day, we had a huge ice storm..lost power for 5 days... fingers crossed not this time!
Check in later! Have a good evening!0 -
Dawn - those dogs will miss you, but you may not have a choice. Sending good thoughts for your next job / that things work out. Read labels for protein bars, many have a lot of hidden salt..... I hope your power does not go out for that long this time- do you have a generator??
While waiting for Microsoft to update and virus scan to run, I got a lot of knitting done (almost done with hot water bottle sweater), so I will go hang out with dog in hammock under Lana's Palm Tree. Hot cocoa with those cute little marshmallows and peppermint schnapps for those who like a little kick in their cocoa.
Stay warm and safe out there.1 -
Sara- it's just so hard... with our Manager truly not having compassion, he would not hire someone who will care for them as we do...I wish I could take them all somewhere else...
I do check for sugar in Protein Bars...a lot of time, it's higher than the protein...
We do not have a generator or another way to heat.. lots and lots of blankets and snuggling with pups and SO....
Hopefully, it doesn't come to that...0 -
FRIDAY
Good morning.
Woke up early am, finished I dream where I was singing "Funkytown" - how that song became a hit I cannot tell you- 1970's semi-disco hit. I was singing " I love the night life" another 1970's clunker at work yesterday. So that would explain part of that dream. Youtube will help explain.....
Will find out how much the potato soup will set me back in sodium grams today.
Dawn - is there any government agency you could call and report your boss? Just a thought.
TGIF all over the place - party under Lana's Palm Tree is starting early. Have a seat next to her in the lounge chair and amuse her. She probably is not feeling too swift but would like a little distraction.
Will lurk from work - wave to all who follow.1 -
Good morning everyone.
I did not sleep a single wink last night, because of the kick-*kitten* steroids given with the chemo. So I just laid there counting sheep, trying to meditate and mind drifting to all of the little things I need to get done before I go to sleep tonight. Amtrak to NC is tomorrow morning at 11; if on time should get home in the house 11 hours later. Or later if we are delayed.
TGIF - big 5PM Happy Hour poolside and on the beach.

Good morning! Unwanted day off...I say that, because I hate missing work and can't afford it... it is doing absolutely nothing here... but, according to boss, it is at work 10 miles away... blah... we are just above the safe line... we are still right in line for lots of ice....
Sara - sounds like a super funky dream..I often have strange dreams that I can not figure out why certain things are in my dreams... but, sounds like you were having a good time...I keep wracking my brain, trying to figure out what to do, where it won't come back on me... we have all gone to our Board... they honestly don't care...
Lana - good vibes coming your way.. be safe on your journey...hope you are able to rest tonight...
Well, I am going to make a conscious effort to not eat a bunch of junk, just cuz I'm home and it's there... already messed up my water... just can't help it... coffee and soda just taste much better...
I'm off for a bit... still no weather... not gonna be happy, if I missed work for nothing... boss text and said it stopped, there...hmmmm
Have a good day, everyone!

I am not the brightest bulb in the box. When I go to NC, I do not have a scale there anymore; DH took it with him to Las Vegas with my blessing for his continued weight loss success.
BUT! It JUST occurred to me to take a couple measurements, which I did, and I threw the tape measure into the suitcase. *slap forehead*
Dawn - sorry about your work situation. As for the soda, can you make a change and get it out of the house? Never have it in the house; if you must, while transitioning off of it, have it out in a restaurant for a treat? Then get the heck away from it altogether?
Dawn - I'm begging' ya. High fructose corn syrup is the devil: it is a truly addictive substance and worse I hear than regular sugar or natural fructose in fruits and other foods. It's more than just 150 calories per can. It does stuff to your brain/thinking. Little voices tell you that you want it..... Said with special love sent out to Missouri. Hugs!
Lana0 -
Lana- thanks for caring....I can cut it out and keep it out of house...I just have to get back to that point... taking my water jug to work with me, is a huge improvement for me... just gotta keep arguing with those lil voices
Hugs to you....

Totally sucking it up here today. DH wanted to go out for lunch and that was that. Feeling down about my back still hurting and making it hard to be upbeat and positive. Making it impossible to exercise.
I know I need to double-down on my diet. That is the key.
Dawn - I hear you on the pop. It's a struggle.0 -
Annie- stuck at home with SO... who can and does eat everything... trying so hard to be good...it's a struggle...I'm sure you'll be fine... give yer back a break.. get back to it when you feel better...
Ice still coming down... sounds like no work, tomorrow... just depends how bad it does get... hafta go in Sunday, depending on the roads...0 -
Dinner is frozen and I am not that patient at the moment.
Long day tomorrow with dog at groomers and then at vet - one step at a time.
There is a boat in Lana's picture just out of view. It has all the makings for a wonderful party.
Good trip tomorrow - let us know when you get to your quiet house.
Wishing all a good evening.1 -
Checking in Girls before calling it a day. I gathered up all of the stuff I want to take tomorrow, and I can't take it all. Boohoo. The bird feeder has to stay in NYC, a light bulb I need for my painting studio is too big in it's protective box to take.
I just can't carry what I used to; too worn out. I have one small rolling carry on, and a blue Trader Joes cooler bag plus a medium handbag.
DH was good for schlepping things. No more schlepper!
I will check in tomorrow from train.
Annie I hope that back improves.
Dawn hang in there with the foul weather and no work because of it.
Sara - It's Tillie beauty day tomorrow! I hope you get to relax a bit.
I think the Cabana Boys have some new treats on tap for tomorrow. Plus massages and extra pillow fluffing
And then the party on the catamaran! Zero point rum swizzles after the snorkeling trip!

Good morning,
Dog wanted up and then fed. So she is set for the morning. I will get my lavender oil and see about more sleep. I am trying to sleep on bed again - couldnt for weeks because I couldnt breathe - so I sleep a couple hours on bed and then back to recliner....
As part of renewing lease I can get a wall painted in a pretty color and I am looking to replace shower curtain. Rewards for dejunking.
Lana if DH filled his car - does that mean more room in your apartment? Or did he rent storage somewhere?
Not too awake. BBL. Wave to all who follow.1 -
Morning all... still stuck at home... we haven't got much ice, so far... just slick out... still calling for more... we'll see
Sara - hope you were able to get some rest.. painting sounds fun...I keep thinking I want to paint... landlord said we can paint whatever we want... maybe one day..
Lana- be safe on trip... check in when you can...
Saturday TV is not much fun... May have to resort to DVD's before long...
Everyone have a good day...

Hi Girls~~
On train with my cooler bag filled with stuff.
Have my composition book journal, and I am doing simple tracking by hand--just recording the calories.
I hate "complicated" tracking (Weight Watchers, or even MFP app), so when I am in lazy mood I cut deal with myself to just write every thing down by hand in my $1 book, and it's easy to simple add calories. Not as good as MFP, but better than no tracking at all.
Sara - I don't know what kind of trouble you have breathing when you sleep. I use a CPAP breathing machine, and although it seems clumsy, I am so used to it, and it helps a lot to make air moist and filter out dust and allergens.
I hope you all have a good day today.
Waves to anyone who stops by later. New folks welcome to stop and say hello~~

Had a Senior moment - vet/groomer Saturday is not today but in 2 weeks - but Vet apt is today.... luckily my groomer is my age /older and we just kind shrugged our shoulders like " it is what it is - and it gets worse". I decided to come home and take a shower/ eat / call my father and laugh about my inability to tell what date it is.... and then go to Vet.
My breathing problems have been from congestion - smog or this case - leaf dust/ work dust. Those machines are wonderful for people who have to use them. My aunt has a portable one.
Bought raw almonds and left the dessert sweet area alone. Compromise and a victory.1 -
Missy - picture of fridge opened up please...... okay that is exciting - did you get rings?? Picture??
Still overcast here, sun is spotty - so much rain that fog sets in. Dog to vet in about a half an hour.
Ordered a hookless shower curtain on Amazon - the middle section has a liner that can be snapped on/off and washed - I paid for shipping this time and $50.00. I am trying to reward myself for getting rid of stuff and my shower curtain is over 10 years old. I will clean/install over a weekend - do it well and slowly.
