Good morning 🌄 everyone! It's a mostly cloudy day here today. My daughter says hello to all. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I did my strength training workout 💪 earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk a while ago and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. I'm still at the hotel today. Either later on today or tomorrow I will have some personal things from my apartment. My neighbours are doing well, considering the circumstances in which we are here. I haven't heard yet when I can go back to my apartment. In the meantime I will make the most of my stay at the hotel. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.2

Good morning all!
@LindieMaeP -Oh I love the purple iris! Looks like some daffodils coming too! Nothing like that here yet!
@NovemberGail - Yard work is a great workout and I like the sense of accomplishment when it is done.
@Tabatha_Cain - Woo hoo! Way to go on the sales! Yes I did get in a hike although it stayed cloudy. Oh well I go a lot faster when it's cloudy. I tend to stop and take a lot of pictures when the sun is out.
@cormierannie - I must of missed what happened as to why you have been in a hotel, but I hope you get back to your apartment soon. Glad you are being taken care of at the hotel.
@Patti241 - Good morning, have an awesome day!
@macrat12 -Great workouts and outstanding step count.
@Catwmncat - Love the Wednesday Wisdom....lol. I had avocado toast this morning. Well I have it most mornings. Is that a 2 ingredient bagel? I seriously need to make me some. I always want a bagel but I never get them because most of the ones I want are high in calories.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I checked out Amazon but just for a minute. I will get on later and check it out again. Short on time...have Wyatte for 2 days!
Happy Thursday to all!3 -
@Catwmncat ,, LOLOL LOVE IT "so I can say I am "outstanding"! LOLOL HAHAHAHA!! WOOHOO that I FNALLY WON 2 cribbage games! Yesterday was so good in that the 3 people I played were also in a very good mood. Ohhh and the CHEATER ,, is in LAST PLACE!! LOLOL At the last seasonal play she put up SUCH A HUGE FIT that I called her out we were told "No one can challenge a play if they are not in that game." Because of HER!! BUT THIS TIME they said "If you want to question a player call so and so over and they'll make the decision." That is a GAME CHANGER for her, because if anyone is new, we ask them when they play her to question every thing they think they need to and more! And we help them out with gestures behind the cheater as we walk by. When she played the guy who's next to last she was A GRINNING SO HARD when he sat down, EASY WIN (I WANNA Play him!! LOL I NEED the points!) but he knew to question everything and HE WON!! At one point the person who was supposed to play her would NOT DO SO and forfeited his points (he only needs 1 point so he was fine to do that to be in the tournament) so one of the officials sat in with her. AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW It she actually had the GALL TO TRY TO CHEAT an official!! of course one of the other ones went over, and the cheater was ARGUING with them both!! LOL sometimes one just shows their true colors. The rest of us where just so GOOD in only looking at each other and raising our eyebrows at each other and yeah with grins.
@Tabatha_Cain ,, CONGRATS on the 2 sales!! WTG!!!! We use a woman who looks for deals for us. My friend has used her for many years. She certainly saved us A LOT of $$$$ almost half ,, and she worked with us on the things I wanted (more coverage in various areas) without hardly any cost, a WIN WIN!! I'm so glad we have her! That's for the car, my friend uses her to insure her place, I stay with State Farms and have for years. Had a flood once, they stuck by me SO WELL!! Not only money wise, but with very sound advice that assured me in the way I needed. AND Their advice also saved me BIG TIME on money out of pocket.
@Patti241,, we are gearing UP for more snow!! LOL SO FUNNY how much we are getting all at once. This should slow down after the storm late tomorrow night and most of Saturday. WELL CATURDAY!
@Cormierannie,, what happened at your place? I AM SO SORRY!! To me hotels are fun for 3 days, but NO MORE than that. I love my place so much.
@Ginaboots,, WOOHOO HAVE SUPER FUN With Wyatt!! I've not had Roman for about 2 plus weeks maybe 3. I am really okay with that. With doing AP this month, my time is even less. Today I woke up feeling so NASTY!! But FINALLY around 2:30 I started to feel better. PHEW!! I am thinking my GD will be asking her mother to help more with Roman. I am thinking ahead also that lOLOL soon it'll be 2 kids not just one. Babies need so much stuff at the house, I was so happy when Roman was getting older and I could get rid of stuff. LOL RIGHT BACK AT IT!! But, awwwww there's nothing like holding and taking care of a very small little one. Awwwwww I may never let him go!!3 -

It's a lovely day out there today, windy but sun is shining. I got to Safeway and back but boy my back and hips are not happy right now maybe too much walking yesterday at Fraser River Park after a long walk I had earlier and did not sleep well either, so I hope to sleep better tonight. Picked up Twinnings Parmegranate and Raspberry tea as well as some PeakFreans Lifestyle Oat and cranberry cookies and some Quaker popcorn cakes with caramel. Got a green pepper for dinner as I am doing a nice beef stirfry - I looked for the noodles i like in them but nope none to be found, no sprouts either. I also checked out the roasts, like 30.00 for a sliver of a roast - not paying that and no pot roast in sight either.. I'll check elsewhere.
The picture of the branches are lilac branches and they have green buds on them, so I'll be watching for the lilacs in due course - the squirrel looks like his coat is changing either that or he's a calico squirrel LOL
@Tabatha_Cain I hope your day goes well and your night shift goes well too. My son used to work at BK... long time ago, but he remembers everything he had to do.
@Kurtize, thanks, but not too sweet, lol I do like my mochas !!
@ginnaboots glad you got a good walk/hike in - enjoy your time with Wyatte.
@Catwmncat thanks for the link I'll find a roast one way or the other and try cooking it. In the meantime, I have a spaghetti squash I will cook on the next rainy day will help get rid of the damp. I tried the chocolate carmel cakes, did you? I don't care for them but I'll eat them anyway just cause I don't want to waste food. I picked up more of the caramel only so I cna top it wiht PB.
Feel like I need a nap but I am not a napper, I'll get up shortly and start fixing dinner. Have a good one all !!

Good Evening Everyone!
It has been crazy since Tuesday.
Tuesday - Went to TOPS and lost 4.25 lbs! We have a place to stay when we go to our PRD(Provincial Recognition Days) and I can afford to go. When I got home Hubby got mad and punched the front door. Went to the clinic, then pharmacy, then x-rays, then bank, lunch, and then shopping. While shopping got the results that he fractured a knuckle. Didn't get home till about 6 pm and was just exhausted.
Wednesday - Sat in emerge from 9 am - about 4:45. While at emerge I did try to get some steps in but mainly studied and tried to keep Hubby calm. He hates being in hospitals. No one knows why the clinic Dr referred him to emerge. They temporarily stabilized it and wrapped it with a tensor bandage and sent us on our way. Now just waiting for the plastic surgeon to contact us. We then went to the liquor store and then home. Went to our friends to hang out and have dinner. She misses us since we don't see eachother as much since the job loss.
Today - Slept all morning except when had to give Hubby his meds. Gotta love it being his good hand. Did a little cleaning, boiled potatoes for potato salad for dinner at my friend's again tomorrow, and watched tv. Still waiting for the call from the fracture clinic. Hoping tomorrow I will be refreshed and ready to get back to my workouts.1 -
@Tabatha_Cain Hallelujah!!! Great job selling those two policies while making the client happy! A happy client is the best resource for new clients. Hopefully he will spread the word and drive some new clients your way. Now that Spring is arriving and the weather will be warming up and BK gets busier you should start getting a few more hours or at least not get sent home as frequently allowing your wedding fund to grow.
@ginnaboots Avocado Toast came to mind from a comment you made the other day. It was not a 2 ingredient bagel, it was Dave's Good Seed Thin. I planned on making 2 ingredient dough rolls the other day to have with pot roast but got behind and didn't get them made. I need to make rolls or bagels soon... they are both so good and much healthier. Hope you had fun with Wyatt today!
@Dianedoessmiles1 If you and I both go outside we can let everyone know we are OUTSTANDING! Lol! Yeah, the cheater lost!! You'd think she would know by now that EVERYONE is on to her cheating ways. I'm surprised they allow her to continue playing year after year. Glad the new guy beat her.
@LindieMaeP I have never seen the Chocolate Caramel Rice Cakes, but I'm not a huge fan of the chocolate ones. My favorites are Caramel for sweet and White Cheddar for savory. Why can't you top the Chocolate Caramel with PB? I will eat things I don't like that much because I hate wasting food as well.
@CSEGUIN2 Congrats on a great loss! Why did your husband punch the front door?

Good evening, all,
This is going to be short and sweet. Did some heavy-duty cleaning at one of the cottages and made tacos for dinner. Despite the hard work, the scale is moving in the wrong direction. I'm not too concerned yet.
The rain will cut down on the pollen for the next few days. It's coming down pretty steady.
Tomorrow's word is LOVE.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. It was a mad house last night at Burger king. It was the cook, myself and 1 manger. We were so busy we were turning people away at drive thru telling them we were short staffed and had to catch up with orders. We were getting drive thru and online orders. It was crazy. At one point we couldn't fit anymore orders on our screen. The manager had been their since 5 am since the night manager called off and it was bad. Although we only had 1 order the whole night that was made wrong and that was a simple mistake, but we still had to back track and remake it.
@ginnaboots - I do too. I love photos when the sun is out.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is great. State Farm is a good company. I have them for home and auto. I am trying to get more sales.
@LindieMaeP - It was so massively busy. We literally had 3 people. Let me tell you it was busy.
@Catwmncat - That is so the truth. I worked 2 days this week and it was so busy. While the client was in the office he called a friend and I quoted that friend too. So we already got one referral.
@NovemberGail - You must be exhausted. Cleaning the cottage is a lot. Tacos sound good for dinner
Well it is time for me to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.

@Dianedoessmiles1 -I cannot believe you have a cheater....that is ridiculous! I wonder why she is allowed to keep playing. I am exhausted after having Wyatte for 2 days. He is a wonderful kid and just brings my heart so much joy, but I am ready for a nap...lol. His mom's schedule changed and I will have him Monday and Tuesday also then won't have him for 8 days. We were supposed to get some snow, but it stayed south of us. Have you seen the pictures and video of the snow in Lake Tahoe and other parts of California. Insane! It is so pretty. Hope you feel better today.
@LindieMaeP -those pictures are beautiful! I have a lilac tree in my front yard, but no buds on it yet which is surprising because our weather has been up and down with temps in the 50's then cold again. Makes it great for tapping the maple trees for sap to make maple syrup. Did it last year and the year before, but not this year. It is so much work to boil down the sap to get like a pint of syrup. It is delicious, but I'll will buy it this year if I want some. Last year spent all the time making the syrup then never used it.
@CSEGUIN2 -Ouch....sounds painful for your husband. Hope it heals soon. I used to have to take my dad to the hospital all the time, (poor health) and because I have spent so much time in our local hospital, I can't even look at the place when I drive by there. I hope I never have to end up there. I have a hospital phobia now...lol. Not to mention my mother died in that same hospital so I don't have warm and fuzzy feelings about the place!
@Tabatha_Cain -Sounds like a very hectic day at BK. You handled it well! You have a busy schedule, I would need a nap...lol.
@Catwmncat -That pineapple crisp looks delicious! It all looks delicious! You make the best food!
@NovemberGail -Our bodies don't want to cooperate sometimes, but I am sure the scale will start moving in the right direction for you. I am not one to weigh myself, like really I only weigh myself once a year at my physical, but I decided to start getting the Covid 15 off...hahahaha, so I weigh myself weekly now and have come to realize as I have aged, the scale doesn't budge on a weekly basis. I lost 4 pounds the week of Feb 17 and weighed today and only a half pound. That is just craziness...I have been eating on point and my exercise it always on point. I'm just gonna go with it and keep doing what I'm doing. I'm sure it will cooperate soon enough.
Happy Friday everyone and have a super weekend!

Good morning folks, hope everyone is ready to gear up to a wonderful safe and healthy weekend. I know I am. I have been researching phones and phone plans and decided not to get the Iphone14pro as I only wanted it for the camera and the camera on the annoying droid will do very nicely and in 3 months I can look for a bring your own phone. I am also looking at the data I use on it and honestly I am paying for something I am not using. I used only so much in one month, mostly because I use the wifi off the internet here at home so why have data on my phone. I just may switch to talk and text and just use wifi for the data here at home which is what I do anyway. I can get a talk and text for 25.00 a month compared to paying 80.00 a month.. I will monitor my data useage on the phone the next 3 months and then decide but will do research in the meantime. This weekend I will see about getting rid of the cat stuff as we are not getting another furbaby at this time and honestly don't know when, maybe never, it's just too heart breaking when they have to be put down. Plus I want to do some decluttering of clothes, haven't worn them in a year, out they go !!
@Tabatha_Cain sounds like a crazy shift at BK !! Glad you managed ok and only one mistake on an order is phenominal service! I've seen a kitchen packed with lots of workers and lots of mistakes!! Hope tonight's shift is not too hectic!
@ginnaboots I am not a maple syrun so seldom buy it but I hear the best is Quebec maple syrup, do you have your own trees you tap into? I love lilacs and know where all the trees are to admire and take pictures of the scent is so calming and fills me with joy - honey suckle does the same. Oh no on Wyatt tiring you - but I sure do remember those days, my granddaughter is now approaching 30 and her brother 25ish I barely see either of them now they are adults living their life. My granddaughter is here in Vancouver and I never see her because of her school work schedule plus she is a DD Master ( dungeons and dragons ) and monitors the game as well.. she's very much into mystic and magic and it's not my cupo tea so I just let her live her life - it is her life not mine. Hope you have a good weekend, I have volunteer this afternoon and then meeting tomorrow morning. All prepared!
@Catwmncat I have no idea why I never thought to put pb on the cakes - I like chocolate and pb or rather almond butter and chocolate but I will think about that and maybe find the pb in the back of the fridge - it's got chunks of peanut in it as well. that might make a difference. Your meals are fabulous again ! lol
@CSEGUIN2 hope all is well and everything resolved. Can make for a very stressful day!
@NovemberGail beautiful picture, have never seen pollen like that before but my friend in Maryland always talks about having to sweep it off her porch and car. Must be certain trees that shed, we do have cotton woods that shed but usually that happens in June.. What I am looking for now is the Japanese blossoms that should be coming shortly! I hope to get some good pics of the pink snow!! Good word for today!
@everyone do have a good weekend and enjoy what ever you have planned. It's FRIDAY !!! or FURDAY !!

@Tabatha_Cain,,, A friend was over today. She said this to a wise crack I had made and I thought of you "Welcome to Burger King, what's your beef?" I laughed so hard. Of course she's very animated, which added to it. WOW!!! SO SORRY they couldn't get more help in last night. Always a shame to have to turn away customers, but a smart move at the same time. ENJOY that pay check!! You've MORE THAN EARNED IT!
@Ginnaboots,, It's UNREAL how much snow they've gotten!! WOW!! The pictures are AMAZING and scary. Likely most places out that way do not have roofs strong enough to withstand the weight so more will happen. They just said on the news more is coming to them. Tonight more so tomorrow most of the day 8 to 12 more inches will fall here. I DO NOT Mind it!! But LOL We knew that. No question though Spring will start to come in soon enough. Though we do not see real green until April and more so May. I had such an UNREAL TIME going to the hospital my Mom died in, but there are only 2 hospitals in our area, it's not really a choice. I am so sorry.
@Novembergail ,, not sure if I have put this up recently a calorie calculator, be as close as you can about your actual exercise, because it really makes the difference. You get in quite a lot of exercise.
https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html
@Lindiemaep ,, it sure does hurt when they pass away, but yet there's always another one at the shelter. Oscar is so young, he'll be around for an eon of time (It Bit ,, AKA Izzy is 12) he makes me laugh so hard! SO VERY VERY HARD he's a TOTAL GOOFBALL!! Izzy is the typical big sister to him, one minute seeking him out, LOL the next putting him in his place! LOL!!

I got out for a walk today and dropped by the mail box to mail some letters and then continued my walk of course it starts raining and I have the wrong coat on for rain - but I continued anyway. Got to the corner that I turn right to head home and an accident had happened at a 4-WAY STOP, like which one ran the stopsign? The car ran into the stop sign and a fire hydrant right in front of a daycare which is why it is a 4 way stop. 2 cars, I just kept going home. I get so annoyed when people run stop signs or do a "california roll" through it is sad but I have to remember not to rejoice when people do things I get peeved about as Proverbs 24:17,18 teaches me that God does not want us to rejoice over the missfortune of another, so I am learning not to laugh or be sarcastic about misfortunes of others like a car getting towed for being parked where it is not suppose to be and that kind of stuff. Anyway I wore my world scarf, I love it as it makes me thing of my spiritual family world wide and that they are with me walking or doing errends and such but I got a snag in it and I pulled it through so it's not bunched up again, pretty mad about that too but only I will notice when I wear it. I found some blooms in the park recently planted of course and another plant of colour ... my other gardens are not even tended yet. Maybe in a couple of weeks? It was really raining when I got home so I had to clean off my glasses and my phone. Not going out anymore today.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I don't have 80.00+ to go get a cat from the SPCA here, or anywhere that charge for adoption and some places have these checklists that they HAVE to check YOUR home first before you get one ... later I'll wait for one to be dropped in my lap, it will either happen OR it won't ... Glad you are enjoying Oscar - Izzy got a mean streak eh ... who been teaching her LOL

@Tabatha_Cain: I can't even picture working where it is so busy. My hands would be shaking so hard that we wouldn't have to use the milkshake machine. God bless you.
@Ginnaboots and @Dianedoessmiles1: The past week I haven't been watching my calories and know that needs to change. Today my appetite was on the normal side again and so I think the scale will start moving in the right direction. Thanks, Diane, for the calorie counter. I need to remember the BK line. That cracked me up. One of our neighbors is collecting sap from their maples about a mile from us. I didn't realize how much work it takes. It is so unique to see all these blue bags attached to the trees.
@Kurtize: If Pets Had Thumb Day-- that sounds like it could be an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Mine would have me begging for mercy for not responding to their needs and whims immediately.
@LindieMaeP: Gorgeous photos again. What a lovely scarf.
Today the rain poured down. Our pond flooded over and all the creeks had rushing water. My photo doesn't do justice to the reality.
Tomorrow's word is RESPONSIBILITY as we move on to the IBC! Good luck everyone!!!💐

Friday's Eats
Fast Breaker ~ Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Pancakes with Uncured Turkey Bacon 🥞🥓
Dinner ~ Buffalo Chicken Blue Cheese Sammie and Homemade Sweet Potato Fries with Hot Honey🥪🍟
Dessert ~ Yasso Birthday Cake Greek Yogurt Bar😋
@NovemberGail Just remember... what goes up must come down! The picture of the creek is pretty cool.
@Tabatha_Cain Woo Hoo!! Busy shifts go by super fast! Great Job by you and the team making only one error, well done! So glad you already got a referral for another client. Not too long ago things weren't going very well so this is a great reminder that when things aren't looking very good at any given moment, they always change for the better.
@ginnaboots TY... I get a lot of the recipes for my meals from the recipe discussion on the PS4L and IBC teams. You'll need to check them out on the Meerkats.
@LindieMaeP PB goes with everything... and nothing but a finger or spoon!!! LOL! I'm sure you will go well on those rice cakes. Your scarf is pretty cool and I love that it makes you think of others.Please remember to post your Final Weigh-In on your Winter 5% Team AND your Beginning Weigh-In on your IBC Team (if you are staying accountable by weighing in).

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a busy day. I have so much to do today for the wedding. I can tell we are not going to get it all done. I don't think Joe is in it all the way today. He is not interested right now. So that is going to be a struggle. I will make due though.
@ginnaboots - I sometimes do need a nap. I just cannot do it. I am sure that is where the migraines come in at.
@LindieMaeP - It was a crazy shift. Yeah we did ok. I did not work Friday night. Doesn't look like the schedule was done either. So I have no idea what I work next week
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yeah it is crazy. We were so busy but it was needed to turn away some of the cars. I am definitely enjoying the paycheck
@NovemberGail - I get that. It was crazy but you really just have to jump in and do your job the best you can. We did all we could.
@Catwmncat - Yes it is a reminder. It makes it tough though to remember the good times when you are in that moment though. I do try though.
Well it is time to get ready and go shovel. I hope you all have a great day.

@Dianedoessmiles1: there was a fire in my building on saturday february 25,2023 on my floor, on the other side of my floor.
good morning everyone! it is a mostly cloudy day here today, with some sunny breaks. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short run on the treadmill here at the hotel's fitness centre earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i will be going for a walk in a while. i will be doing some dancing later on. the latest i have heard is that we will all be going back to our apartments sometime next week. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.1 -
@LindieMaeP -yes we tap our maples on our property. It’s a lot of work and like I said not a big fan of maple syrup. I have never been into gaming and don’t really get the appeal but each to their own. Love the scarf! Beautiful plants too!
@Catwmncat - I love the yasso bars but very hard to find around here! Happy Caturday!
@macrat12 -Amazing step count! Wtg!
@cormierannie -sorry about the fire! Hope everyone got out safely! Any updates on when you will be able to move back?
Went on a beautiful hike today. Went extra long to clear my head. My daughter is on vacation for a month in Hawaii and I always miss her so much. She and hubs live just down the road from us so I see her all the time. She just got back from a month in Florida at the end of December so I barely had time to recover! 😂😂. I probably shouldn’t be so attached! Lol!
Happy Saturday to all!2 -
Taking a break but plan on signing up for spring challenge, lost 1/2 lb but I am happy with that. Love and hugs and have a great week.

Good Evening Everyone!
So Hubby was mad at someone and instead of punching them he punched the door. We're still waiting for the fracture clinic to call. But he doesn't seem to be in pain with it wrapped.
Yesterday was a busy day. Got workouts done, walked to a neighborhood grocery store, made potato salad. I also got some other things done as well. Around 2 I headed to my friends house around the corner. We were having a BBQ. Yes in the winter storm. Didn't get a picture. We had rain, ice, snow, and thunder snow.Had a great time but was a slushy walk home.
Today is a beautiful sunny day. Did my video, studied, dishes, laundry and shoved snow for a total of over 2 hrs. My muscles are still so sore.1 -
@cesguin2- I saw some videos of the snow thunder. I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life and never heard of it before! Not sure where you are but south of us they got a big winter storm.2
-
Good afternoon everyone, it's a rainy windy day here but it usually is like this in the winter. Nothing to shovel but if it went too long might need a canoe or what have you lol
@cormierannie I am sorry to hear about the fire, was your apartment with out power at all for very long? IF so you need to be careful when you open your fridge, or freezer if you have one as those things might have poisonous gasses from not being cold enough. But if you were able to take your foods with you no worries eh! Glad you are enjoying the hotel in the meantime and their gym and other amendments that they have.
@ginnaboots - banana belt refers to an area in a region that gets warmer temps then other parts of the same region - so where I come from, Windsor, Amherstburg, Harrow, area that is considered banana belt as the temps are usually warmer. However, I debate that kinda because I remember those freezing cold winter mornings waking up with no heat and we were 2 blocks from Lake Erie - it was COLD lol could be why I dont' like it too much. I am glad that you enjoy the cold winter weather and enjoy some activities from it. We are a family of gamers, board, chess, cribbage, computer so it's natural for us to play games. BUT I don't like all games and never got the hang of chess and got tired of cribbage ( I can see @Dianedoessmiles1's crimmace LOL ) I did learn from my grandfather to go for walks - he used to go for walks every evening after supper and they were brisk, not strolls lol I remember when my daughter moved away when my granddaughter was just about 1 year old, it was the hardest thing, but eventually I learnt to do other things and that helped it not be so hard. She never did move back and barely visits, but she is living the life she wants. It's a busy spring so the time should fly by !! Thanks for explaining the maples and sapping!
@CSEGUIN2 glad everything is going ok and you got such good work outs in, I don't do strenuous work outs so I can't advise about the muscle issues but maybe someone else will we have such resourceful folks on these teams.
@Tabatha_Cain it would make sense that there are some parts of the wedding that Joe might not be interested in and just let you take the lead on that. Hope you have a good weekend !
Well lunch is posted below - Saturday is my bread day so I get to enjoy - tomorrow back on the other track!

Tonight's dinner. I am taking note of the salt/potassium in my food for the IBC and will be making changes based on the amount of salt/potassium. While we do need some, we don't need as much as I have most likely had today. I will also be reading labels more closely when it comes to overly processed foods AND when it said "low sodium" .. it is not always as low as one thinks. Tonight's dinner has all my alotment for salt / potassium in this one meal and I am over board as I had foods at breakfast and lunch I do not normally have plus I had potato chips for a snack ... phewww wont' be doing that again for a long long time!
