Well done Lisa! And your studio looks well-organized and ready to go.
I am also on the Do Not Go There list with fish eggs, no matter what fancy name someone rebrands them with. LOL
I was down two pounds this morning from my fast day yesterday. That's one pound of fat burnt off as the other pound is just ordinary food in the system weight. As soon as I eat, that pound will reappear. I am fasting again today. It's such an easy way for me to drop a bunch of fat. I worked out with weights and kettlebell this morning and I will be dog walking after work today and then have a student coming after school to ride and horse around with. That will keep my hands out of the cookie jar.
My husband has been losing weight now that he is no longer confined to his desk for 8 hours of the day. He has also been really enjoying the healthy veggie-based meals I've been making for him. I made him a bacon and cheese (all veggie protein) pizza last night and he went back for seconds and told me it was delicious! Wendy7 -

Evening ladies.
Boy is it warm. Just in from helping hubs transplant the plants we are taking to our new home from the ground to pots. These are plants we planted in the rental and grew with tender loving care. When we arrived all there were was overgrown bushes. By establishing them in pots over the next 3 weeks till we move we hope to keep them alive and well till they find their new home! I have several hanging plants which I'm not sure what to do with as the new patio isn't set up for them. May be able to hang on front patio and then invest in some shepard's hooks. So looking forward to getting back to gardening!
Down 2 pounds since watching my carbs. Still not back to my lowest but on my way. Lesson learned: keep to your macros and keep moving! I've learned so much in the last year about this body!
Going to grab a book and read for a bit.

LOVE, LOVE AND LOVE THIS!!!! I would tell my son that if he did not respond to my texts or emails or phone calls I was going to call the campus police...he started responding promptly.

Katlia-thank you for your response to my post. I hate to take meds but think it is time as I am getting older. I need to do a search on google to check the side effects and if it affects the kidneys. I don’t think my MD would prescribe it if it did.
Lisa- great job on the weight loss and the grant writing.
Today was day one for me of logging and clean eating and MFP says I didn’t eat enough. Grrrrrrr
Count me as a no caviar person. When we were in Russia they fed us vodka and caviar and I didn’t eat either one.

Katie sorry for the typeo.1

Well I did it again, KATIA.2

I have never weighed raw vegetables and today I decided to since I am sticking to a strict Keto diet. I found out that I have been under estimating the amount I should be eating. Good for my low carb diet but I definitely liked finding out I get to eat much more extra food!
Caviar I have never and will never try that or raw sushi dishes.

Lisa in AR: I love the photos of your new home. It looks lovely and comfortable. I hope you love it there.
Wendy: It is great to hear that your DH appreciates your cooking. Perhaps being away from his desk will turn him into a happier person. :bigsmile:
bwvetc: I love, What parents think when you don't answer your phone. :laugh:
Sue: My German neighbor when I was a child called me Katia. You brought back a good memory of a nice lady. :flowerforyou: (My name here, KATLA, is a mix of my first name and my last name.)
DH bought me the cutest little rototiller as a Mother's Day present, but it is too big to use in my limited flowerbeds so I planned to send it back. The UPS pick-up store is closed. Some kid learning to drive a car drove right through their front window. Last year, a kid learning to drive hit my parked car in the Fitness Center parking lot. Watch out everyone--it is crazy teenaged driver time in America! It is true in my area, and I'm betting it is true in many other places as well.

Katla, I loved hearing about about your getting a rototiller for Mothers' Day, My gift will be 2 cubic yards of of bark mulch---this is nothing like the things I see in the stores as suggested gifts (orchids, candy, fussy cards).5

Penny, Arkansas is home to much of the Ozark Mountains, truly a beautiful area filled with lakes, rivers and springs. Love it.

Well had a nice dinner with eldest son. We went to his townhouse about 5 minutes away, brought empty boxes for him, and picked up him and another big box full of his stuff. Keep this up he will only have his furniture come the end of the month to rent a uhaul for. He didn't want us going into his townhouse, so I'm guessing his roommate that hates us is home. You know the roommate that has been sponging off my son for 2 years now. And he wonders why he gets bad vibes from us! His arrangement to have a couple move in when our son moved out had fallen thru, so not sure what that manchild is going to do! When we stressed to our son once, (when he was trying to tell us his roommate was going thru a rough patch), of all the rent money, part of the utilities, that he could of saved if only his roommate had pulled his own weight. That made him think. In our sons eyes, he was paying the rent anyways, and the utilities came out of his paycheck automatically so what was the problem.
I made kielbasa sausages and zucchini, and pork pot stickers for son and he inhaled it! For my husband it was 4 pieces of bacon, three scrambled eggs and toast. I had two pot stickers, and three slices of kielbasa. I did good!
I think I used more plates, pans and items fixing this meal, and had to play puzzle loading the dishwasher!
Take care everyone!

{{{{{KAY@}}}}} - Losing a grandchild is hard - step-daughter lost her child at the age of 12; awful! Now we have not heard from her in 11 years. Has a child by present husband. Not since Louis' mother passed away. The only way we can look at this 'estrangement' is to tell ourselves they were transferred overseas and their plane went down. It hurt to think she does not want us in their lives when we don't really 'know' the reason ... can only 'assume'; but, you know what that does ... @$$ U Me. One day? But, I doubt it.
Love the bling on the boot!
R Can Saw - I sometimes find it difficult not to 'correct' people (Mother used to do it to me all the time, she was English/Lit/Grammar teacher). Then my middle GD corrected her Mother over the pronunciation of "Salmon"; now they have a commercial about "Almonds" ... I'm the guy jumping out of the car - or maybe 'pushed' out of the car. Haven't watched it close enough to tell. English, unless you've grown up speaking it all your life is probably the hardest language to learn correctly; but, I think we say that about any foreign language - even 'sign language. My niece did not learn it until the summer before she went to Gallaudet. BnL just did not want to admit that she was deaf. When she was little her hearing aid was worn on a harness; with earplugs. Sometimes Mother or Daddy would stroll her uptown and someone would stop them to talk; when Lynn got tired of it, she'd just pull the earplugs out and set them on the tray in front of her. One way to quickly end a conversation.
Rori - How have the volcano eruptions affected y'all's property in Hawaii or have you already sold it. That isn't eve the island where the tourists go to see the active volcano is it? I thought that was on an outlying island. Saw a time-lapsed picture of it - somewhere (today). Nasty looking - like a burnt marshmallow.
I'd love to have more irises. I have several scattered around in my large bed - wish I had the where-with-all to dig up all plants and plan the layout better. I thought surely they had been killed by all the cold weather we had over the winter; so I really just did not look at the bed much; but, surprise - surprise. Louis moved the farm truck and I bet I had 20 or more blooming. Mostly the white and yellow ones. I still have not seen the ones my BF gave me bloom and not real sure which fan(s) they are. She did say they were late bloomers. I have one pink one, one blue and white speckled one (that hasn't bloomed - or I missed it).
Well, been off Nexium for about a month - not nearly the heartburn; but, still have to have the tube down the nose and into throat (swallow) ... Brandy is supposed to call Thursday to schedule that test; then, she will schedule a time for the procedure to treat Barrett's Esophagus. UGH! I am sure since they are going to have to put me into 'twilight' I will have to go through that 'clean my body out'. Already I have noticed a change in my BM - and not all that pleasant.
Had to have a ring and 2 guards cut off today. Louis could not understand 'why I would have needed to do so'. Because, Louis, my knuckle is larger than the base of my finger by at least 1/2 size and I have tried everything to get them 'off'. Finger swelling and worst after trying to get them off. Jeweler said to keep it hydrated and then we can go back and check the size again. Definitely cutting into my finger. Of course, Louis has a permanent indention from his wedding band; and it used to have a pattern. No longer - it is smooth now. Ordered a birthstone ring and it is an 8; but, I will need to have them put that expander in so it will be a 7 1/2 once I get it on. Was going to give the aquamarine birthstone ring that my grandmother bought all the granddaughters when they turned 14 to my oldest granddaughter; I wear it on my pinkie finger; she couldn't even get it on her finger. Too big for a pinkie and too small to wear on ring finger. Maybe one day she will want it. I've come to the conclusion that maybe neither my sons nor my granddaughters willl want anything we have that is so important to me. Surprisingly, my DDnL#1 took a bowl and pitcher I had made in ceramics when I was a teenager when I put it aside to put into a garage sale and hasn't gotten rid of it. There have been other things they have gotten that they either gave away or let the dogs chew up. Suzanne gave me a hooked rug that Mimi made that no longer went with anything in her house. I need to look at it again and figure out where I might be able to use it. Taylor was afraid that Knox would do the same thing that Luna has done to one of the two rugs that Trey and Jennifer got from Mimi. My DDnL#2 has already said that she would love to get Mimi's Hoosier kitchen cabinet; they'll just need to have a wall to put it on.
Chairs will be going to the Salvation Army, since they are the only charity that actually works hard at finding people who need donations. My BF said she has checked on non-profits and so many of the donations go to 'overhead'. I'll donate to Shriners or St. Jude's; but, other than that - I don't even let them finish their spiel.
Well, have found a 'shake' at GNC that tastes like the ones I have been getting at the MD's office. Need to find a protein bar that I like. I got 2 protein bars that the guy said was their best sellers; but, it is larger and 70 more calories. I guess I will see if 1/2 of one will satisfy my 'treat' at night. Got 4 flavors (4 to a pack) and it was buy one, get one for 1/2 price. The other day I bought a 4-pack of Protein Premier. Put them in fridge and then opened one - thinking it was vanilla. Surprised that it was actually caramel. I think I was so surprised that I wasn't sure if I like it or not. At GNC - they let me taste one. Normally they keep some in the fridge for people to try; but, he had to give me a sip at room temperature - tasts exactly like thee ones I have been getting, although I have not bought any in several months. For $1 - you can get a full print-out about weight, height, BMI, and %'s of things. I did not have my glasses on, so I did not see that feature and could have gotten that, too. I weigh 20lbs more than BF; but her BMI is way up over mine. We both need to lose a minimum of 10lbs to get down to the weight that would get us back to a normal BMI; but, she doesn't exercise at all. At least I will get up on my treadmill (even though I would rather be knocked upside the head. Can't wait for the pool to be repaired; but, I have said that already.
Mackla - Praying your DH continues improving and that PT and/or OT will help him a lot.
Welcome to all the 'newbies'; and much 'love' to the 'oldies but goodies'.

7:30 Saturday morning, while sitting at my laptop a flash of movement through the window caught my eye. Something was moving up our driveway past the gate to our lower lawn. By the time my eyes focused, all that I could see was a very long, thickly furred cat's tail. Pretty sure it was a mountain lion. It was probably headed down the game trail to the creek. After I told Joe, he got the shotgun out and fired off a blast down the driveway. He strung Christmas lights along the fence and plans to hang strings of tin cans and aluminum pie plates from tree branches around the lawn. Our house and small surrounding grassy area are fenced but the rest of the vertical acreage is heavily wooded and pretty wild. This was a strong reminder not to let the terriers out unescorted, not even in the fenced area. This afternoon on my way into town I saw a doe with two fawns. I guess I've never seen fawns before, was surprised at how very tiny they were. Hope Mr. Mountain Lion is long gone!
Machka tears of joy at the "he knows me" and "one bite at a time". So hopeful! Continued healing and strenghth intentions to you both. (((hugs))) Zwift sounds like a good strategy. Don't suppose you can use the rehab gym with your husband?
Karen in VA, Con VERY grats on your most excellent recertification. Hope the instructor's critique was a gentle comeuppance to help open the minds and improve the behaviour of the three young women. ;}not the only, add me to the list of those who can't stomach caviar. BLS/ACLS you are a health care professional?
Barbie great news about Jake! Now that he can mow, if he persists in his helpful vacuuming suggestions you can turn the task over to him for his expert attention OH I see, now he walks the dogs and you vacuum? :noway: Beautiful trail.
Sharon good to hear from you and that you are taking steps forward. Fingers Xd for Jason and sending "smarten up, get a clue!" vibes to HER.
Terry lovely bling! Some of those look antique?
Heather what a braw laddie your elder son is! What happy smiles hugging that BIG teddy bear.
Wendy hooray for your husband's new Sunday routine. Enjoy! Lucky pooches look pooped out!
Trish in OH "...but reading always wins out" Oh yeah.
pip beauteous pink May snow. Even more beauteous is the Golden with his/her sleeves rolled up
Michele your pool and patio... WOW! When does the party start?
Katla and Lanette what exactly has the sublingual B complex with B12 done for you? My last bloodwork showed B12 deficiency so I've been taking softgels, but don't know what difference I should notice
Rita your Chewie pic reminds me of Scooter hypnotizing us to "feed me now!" When that fails, he bonks the trash can with his forehead. Then our legs.
Penny polar bears and rifles, even scarier than Mr. Mountain Lion.
Rebecca, not only is that a tree, but THAT is a LADDER!!! [shudder]
Katla against your stated wishes your neighbor pruned your camellia bush on your property??? And the plant doesn't even adjoin her yard? So glad the HOA president took immediate action. Hope it effectively stops her NOW.
Kay (((hugs))). Very hard couple of days. Please give yourself permission to cry when you need to.
Janetr Thanks for the "...and my steps won't count" bellylaugh
Evelyn what is a sling truck?
Lanette Very successful TJ's run.persian cukes, tri color peppers, snap peas, all organic. Huge globe artichokes for $.99 apiece that cost $4 ea at our Brookings Freddie's. Case of mandarin/cranberry sparkling water, dog food and treats, tuna, pesto, walnuts, sourdough, pork tenderloin cutlets and even two tiny filets (for me!). Wine gal steered me to two European reds, look forward to tasting them soon. Two sixpacks of AF Clausthaler (one lager, one ale). Oh and 2 hunks of roquefort. Going through it so fast, next time I'll get 3!!! Got it all in one cart but needed big time help to load it all in the car.Really saves on the Fred Meyer bill, and normally carries me through two months, but oh gee, what a shame, will have to go to Medford in June semiannual full skin scan so might as well stop in at TJ's and Winco to top off the tanks I'm with your DH about the fish smell, not just cooking but canned too. ;}
Suebdew I'm back on weekly Alondrate (generic Fosamax) after a long hiatus because it tore up my throat and gave me acid reflux. It can really wreck your esophagus. While the instructions say to not eat or drink anything but the 8 oz of water before and after, my MD told me to eat a small piece of bread (I eat a small chunk of banana instead) and take my 1 tsp of cod liver oil (you can use olive or coconut oil too) before taking the alondrate. The bread/banana "opens the stomach" and the oil coast the throat. So far no problems.
Tricia Oh are you same as Trish in OH and Patceoh? LOVE the grand's dog, is s/he a wheaten or a doodle?
Dana your home and setting an neighborhood look lovely!
Lisa thanks for checking in, you were missed. con VERY grats on the grant. Love the timing AND your studio
