    I know Aspen isn't supposed to have people food, but we always had good results slipping our dogs pills tucked inside of a chunk of hot dog. I'd mix it up so each time there would be one chunk with the pill and one or two chunks without pills.

    I have tried lil smokies ...shoving it in part of a pork chop and other things.. she was taking them but now she has caught on so she refuses ...she is suppose to have 4 pills a day ... I called the vet yesterday and they want me to shove it down her throat close her mouth which I said I refuse to do ... I do not understand why these pills have to be so large

    I've got a new smart watch which is great but it seems to stop counting my steps half way through the afternoon which is weird and annoying.

    Nice loss!

    We got our 1st vaccine for covid ... we go back in December for the 2nd dose ...Dr wants me to get the shingles vaccine and I will be getting the booster for covid

    Glad you got your Covid. Myself and my husband are waiting until we turn 60 to get the shingles vaccine.

    Sorry forgot to log on yesterday

    The Fatty Liver Book is awesome, taking all the guess work out of things and I get to eat stuff I didn't think I could like eggs, avocadoes, a bit of hard cheese. Going to do a shop this weekend and start cooking up some yummy stuff, hopefully it will boost my spirits a bit.

    Nice steps! It is nice to have a guide for eating when facing medical issues. Keep an eye on the smart watch and maybe you can return it if it continues to be problematic.

    Great exercise day. What is the calorie count of sugar free ice cream? Maybe I will put it on my list this week.

    Fantastic steps Angie!

    Since I got the Apple Watch I have changed my exercise goals. Instead of number of laps and time I look at calories burned. I would like to get higher burns but I don’t have the stamina to swim for long periods of time. Maybe something to work on! 🤔

    Pool today of course. Thursday is meal planning day so I want to find a new recipe or two.

    Happy Thursday!

    I love making either chicken piccata or salmon piccata with wild rice and green beans with almonds for dinner

    I enjoy cooking period.

    Lunch today happened to be shrimp 3 ways and a large Broiled salmon Filet. Collards and blackeyed peas. The shrimp were divided into 3 dishes. Cajun stirfry. Panko fried shrimp. Shrimp and grits. All were delicious.

    Breakfast I love to bake biscuits and make fruit filled braids. Baking is something I love to do. Of course I make everything gluten free, dairy free, yeast free, and no honey. I love eating what I make too. My eldest son hates my food since I stopped cooking "normal". Everyone tells me they can't taste the difference. I strive to make sure that it tastes as close to normal as possible.

    Good bloated evening everyone. I am stuffed.

    Check in for 11/25:
    Steps - 10427
    Calories - 1858 or so. Big breakfast and dinner, apple pie and a cherry cordial.
    Exercise - 3.69 mile walk this morning between bakings and 0.8 mile walk tonight to get more gift tape.

    @lindamtuck2018 the ice cream was about 160 cal for 4 oz. It was at a family run store so no calorie list.
