@mamainthekitchen I am sorry for your loss. Sometimes wine is good. *Hugs*
If anyone finds my motivation laying around somewhere, could you please send it back to me? It is a remote learning day because it is stupidly cold and snowy. I have gotten exactly nothing done today. Well, I did laundry, but I did nothing related to my job. I really should do that. You know, because I am getting paid for it.
I started the day fasting, but I got hangry. I think a good sleep will fix me up and I can be productive tomorrow... Right? LOL
I hope you all are off to a good start this week! Stay healthy!0 -
Thanks Kate
I’ve been doing loads of laundry too but haven’t found your motivation here ...?? Re-trace your steps!
Monday slush day! Yup... that’s what we get after a dump of snow then it warms a couple degrees!
Thinking of making fudge... guess I should re-think that!!!!

Good morning everybody!
I am back! Sorry for being MIA again. LOL
Last week was busy, busy, busy with working, packing, tossing, organizing... We are living in a see of boxes. Empty and full at the moment. It is a bit frustrating since this is a small place. Gets crowded fast! We have packers coming next Wednesday at 9:00am and movers are coming next Friday at 8:00am. So the final two weeks or less is here!
This past weekend we were away from Friday afternoon through yesterday afternoon. We rented a very nice home up the line in CT with four couples, two children, and a dog. Fun times!! Walked around a little on Saturday. There is still a fair amount of snow on the ground and it was COLD! We had take out one night otherwise we cooked meals, played games, had cocktails, and LOTS of laughs!
Looking forward to getting organized this week and getting back on my Keto WOE! We are both (BF and I) taking it easy and not buying a lot of stuff, so this week we are planning turkey sandwiches on low carb wraps for lunch instead of the big salad. Trying to pair down where we can. Planning to stick to my WOE but not go crazy with the move coming. More snow is coming this week *screams* but hopefully it gets it out of its system soon and we have a good day for the move. Sigh...
Sounds like you ladies are well! I will pop in and out of there as much as I can during the next two weeks. Even with just a quick post.
See you all soon! Hope you have a great healthy week ahead! 1 -
Good luck with the move, Meghan!
Mamainthekitchen, I found some of my motivation! Mostly the part where stuff is due tomorrow. I won't give you my opinion on making fudge because I am not making my best life choices this week! LOL
We have broken all sorts of records for low temperatures. Plus we have rolling blackouts. Fun times. I am either going to hibernate or fly south if it doesn't warm up soon! Have a good rest of the week! Stay healthy and warm! (I am jealous of those of you that live in warm places.)0 -
Today was slightly above instantly frozen and we even had sunshine. I am still not making good life choices. It is too darned cold for that. I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm and healthy!0

Good morning!
Helloooo from a sea of boxes! Snow on the way here today. Starting mid day today (Thursday) and going through tomorrow AM we are getting around six inches of snow. Sigh...
Yesterday was good. Popped in to the hairdresser for my appt. She snuck me in before the storm hits. Ugh. So tired of snow but we are being productive as much as possible. Got all the books packed up and are planning to tackle kitchen and bathroom stuff today.
Okay, been typing this post for hours. LOL Time to submit. Have a great day and see you soon!2 -
K I just erased everything I said.... those poor people in Texas... I can’t even imagine, so I won’t complain! Sipping hot tea looking out the window is privilege. I’ve got to stop watching the news!!!!!!!!!!!!
Little snack today... from the bulk isle... hazelnuts! They’re unsalted with the skins on and they are WAY better than the ones mixed into the mixed nuts bin!! About 20 measures to be an ounce. Yum!
Hope you’re all well.... Meghan you got this, moving sucks at the best of time but with all that snow?? You’ll be glad to be settled in your new place very soon!
Kate, I never made the fudge but am thinking of the keto kind... still, thinking is all I’m doing and maybe that’s really all I need!?2 -
Good morning all!
Happy Friday! A week from now, at around this time - we will be MOVING! Ahhhh!!!
Nothing much new here. Been sticking to Keto this week, next week I will do my best. Using up what is in the fridge and not making any new recipes or buying a lot of food until we are settled.
Hope you guys have a good day and a nice weekend. We are going to pack!! Also planning to some friends for brunch on Sunday (had been rescheduled a few weeks back because of SNOW). We will try and visit my guys parents tomorrow, if we can find a place to park amongst all the snow.
Snowed all day yesterday and stopped last night. Today is round two, but only an inch or so is expected. Total snow fall for us is probably around six or eight inches. Will be able to confirm once I go outside. Bit of cabin fever happening here, so can't wait to get out for a bit. Sigh...
See you soon!!1 -
@Meghan509 Moving is exciting and exhausting! Good luck!
@mamainthekitchen I feel bad complaining about our weather when I see the poor people in Texas! Yikes!
I have some work related stress going on, so I might be MIA. I will be eating my feelings. Any prayers and best wishes would be appreciated.1 -
Sending positive vibes Kate!!
This is quick check in while I’m updating diary.... just downed a full glass of lemon water before I enjoy a low carb beer! I’m weird! Dinner late today... snapper with lemon butter & tons of broccoli!
Have a great Saturday 1 -
Good morning everybody!
Weekend was good. Saw my guys parents on Saturday for dinner and yesterday we had brunch with friends who we hadn't seen since last summer. Where does the time go?!
Not really on track food wise, because we are eating what's in the fridge and not making anything new aside from turkey on low carb wraps. LOL S'ok. One week at a time. Once this move is done then I'll get back on track.
More icky weather here today. Some snow showers and rain. Hopefully will melt some of this stuff on the ground so that when it warms up later in the week we'll be able to move on from all this snow.
Sending hugs to you, @KateNkognito hope all is okay at work. Take it one day at a time. You got this!
Hello to @mamainthekitchen and @melaniecheeks! Have a nice one and see you soon!0 -
Sounds like such a nice weekend Meghan, glad you had some fun! We’re still on stay at home orders here!
Stabbed myself in the hand with a steak knife yesterday! New avo oil lid was just spinning round and round... figured I could break the seal with a knife!! Ya... don’t ever do that!! Luckily have steri-strips in the cupboard & FaceTimed my daughter who is a nurse cause I wasn’t sure if I needed stitches... we agreed since I had those strips that they would help and I could avoid going to hospital! Omg what an idiot!
Other than that drama, it’s the same old thing here!! Trying to limit the junk!!
Hope your week is off to a good start y’all...!2 -
Oh my goodness mama, hope your hand is OK!2
-
Good morning all!
@mamainthekitchen sending hugs regarding your hand! UGH. That stinks. Hope it is okay and you are feeling better.
Rocking and rolling here. In the office today getting some stuff done then prepping for the packers coming at 9:00am tomorrow. *screams*
Have a good one and see you soon.1 -
@mamainthekitchen I hope your hand heals quickly! Steri-strips are fantastic. Thanks for the positive vibes.
@Meghan509 Good luck with the move!
Hi, @melaniecheeks !
Tomorrow is the big day to find out about the job stuff. Super stressed. I've been eating like an unsupervised 5 year old. Not sleeping. I am not even going to look at the scale until this is all over.
I hope everyone is having a great week! Stay healthy!2 -
Hey thanks everyone! That all happened so fast and I knew it wasn’t a good idea... you know, you just do it anyway! I stabbed in that area in between the thumb knuckle & index knuckle....my husband held his hand up to show the L shape for loser to explain to our neighbour!!! So I appreciate the empathy from you all! I’m super bruised now too!!
I had a good fast day and lots of walking today... son had a 3 hr exam online so I just kept walking after dropping off the dog!
Kate I do hope whatever you’re going thru at work, settles... I know the treats seem like comfort, but try to ignore!!
Good luck with your packers tomorrow Meghan!! Exciting times!
Hi to Melanie! Wondering what interesting foods you’re cookin’ up??
Goodnight!0 -
Hi all!
Packers were here from 9:00am to 1:00pm and holy hot damn they were amazing!! We are in super duper good shape for Monday morning at 8:00am. I should take a picture of the boxes so you can see the chaos I am typing from. LOL
Update on my Dad - he got bumped (down) to Stage 3 Esophagus cancer as it had spread to the lymph nodes sigh... Next week he starts five weeks of chemo, three days a week with a week off in between. Then six weeks of chemo and radiation at the same time, five days a week. Hopes to be finished mid May time frame. He will have all of this done at a specialist on the west coast of Florida. He is in good spirits and I feel optimistic that he will make it through.
Sending positive vibes, @KateNkognito Don't stress. You got this.
@mamainthekitchen sounds like a fabulous walk! Glad your hand is okay.
@melaniecheeks yes, what Mama said - what's cooking?! Your meals always sound delish!
Have a good one all. Tomorrow is Thursday and a somewhat normal day. Working all day remotely and then at 5:15pm we get the keys to our new place! WOO HOO!
See you soon. -Meg0 -
My meeting went ok. It is really satisfying to hand your resignation letter to jackwagons. Now to finish this school year and find a new job.
@Meghan509 I will keep your dad and your family in my prayers. Glad the packers were so awesome!
@mamainthekitchen Your husband sounds like mine! LOL Your walk sounds lovely!
Off to nap and walk the dog. Have a great rest of the week! Stay healthy!2 -
Good morning all!
Sending hugs @KateNkognito it must have been a very tough situation for you to resign. You got this. A better job awaits you next school year.
Things are good here. One more night here with annoying upstairs neighbors. Sigh... Did I tell you guys about that? Yep, that is one of the reasons we decided to move - constant 24/7 annoying, loud, rude neighbors. Once we complained it got better but still not great. Another reason is we need more space! Sitting here on a couch all day working remotely is not good for my aching back. Will be nice to have peace and quiet and more space for working, entertaining, and having family and friends over.
Been sticking with my Keto WOE for breakfast and lunch. Dinner, not so much. Take out is our friend right now since everything is packed up.
Have a great Thursday all. I am moving tomorrow AM so if you don't hear from me for a few days don't worry. I will be back when I come up for air.
Hugs, -Meg2 -
@Meghan509 I hope the move went well! No more annoying neighbors!
SO. GLAD. it is FRIDAY! Have a great weekend, y'all! Stay healthy!1 -
I forgot to say that I fasted today for the first time in about a week and a half. I did have a bunch of diet Mt. Dew, though. I had a small dinner and will fast again until breakfast.2

Hi all!
Helloooo from our new place! The move went very well. No issues, injuries or anyone hurt!
Still unpacking but the kitchen is done! Woo hoo!
Making another Wal-Mart trip today! Also will hit IKEA.
Hope you are well. See you soon!!

Wow! My hand has really affected my eating and well everything! Today I washed my face with two hands!!! Woohoo! I’ve been eating whatever I’m served so therefore I’ve gained probs 6 lbs!! Using my phone , which I check mfp with has been challenging since gripping is the problem. I was told not to use my hand! So I’ve done nothing all week! The range of purple of the bruising was soooo bad I should have taken a pic for you guys! Ah! No!!! Sparing gory details!!
So happy for you meg to be in new place!! Are you in nice walking area? Glad you’ll have designated space for work! Exciting indeed!!
Kate... change is scary, but when it’s on your terms it’s impowering!! Do your own thing girl!
I haven’t logged, fasted or walked on my own the past week.... barely celebrated our anniversary (32!) went to bistro & food was not good... carb loaded greasy high calorie junk washed down with beer! Gross! A few more days of hand rest and all will be better!!!
Goodbye February!0
