Well shoot. I really thought I was being descriptive. I guess my texts weren’t keeping up with my thoughts. It’s a hard boiled egg mayonnaise recipe. Just put all the ingredients in a bullet blender and blend until smooth.

I'll share the Forks Over Knives mayo and sour cream recipes that are the opposite of Darren's 😁 These are my standard ones for the past 13 years.
Mayo:
1 block silken tofu
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 T red wine vinegar
Sour Cream:
1 block silken tofu
1 T lemon juice
1 T Red Wine Vinegar
Dash of salt
Blitz for 60 seconds in a ninja (or other high-speed blender). Delicious, protein rich, oil-free, and 12 calories per tablespoon.

@TeresaW2024 It is. I feel like I am making excuses but I'm really not: time is not plentiful and it's a real problem. Thank you! I'm glad Joe understands he has to eat. Hang in there.
@DrewsAnna @BobBoyardee Congrats on the losses!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I usually do get fresh pineapple but that was my husband's idea and we won't be getting that again lol. I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I get those rashes, too, and they do really hurt. I'm sorry that the surgery isn't covered by your insurance. Have you thought about calling your insurance to see what options you do have? Big hugs, Jennifer and thanks for the recipes.
@Katmary71 Yes I know what you mean lol. How many times have I done that and not realized it??? The BBQ sauce: it's all the sugar. I can have some but not a lot. At home, I can make my own or by G Hughes but at someone else's house, I have no control over it. It did feel great to cross things off! Thank you!!! I'm glad you were able to be on the ground and see that you are doing a little better. I have the printout, I'll email it to you. Good luck with the car shopping.
7 Day Reset- today's task is to plan one meal. I plan my meals every week so that is no big deal...it's been done since last Friday.
Hi all. Yesterday was busy at work. Traffic wasn't too bad, luckily. The weather was nice, the sun was out, so I decided to take one of my dogs for a longer walk. As we walked, a truck pulled up beside us and was talking to me about Violet. They said she was good-looking and asked if I wanted to breed her (they had a pug, too). I told them she was fixed so couldn't. It was kind of odd. We kept walking and had a nice walk. Today at work, we are having lunch at a restaurant. I've already looked at the menu and decided to get a mixed seafood grill. That is really the best option and it looks like it will be pretty healthy, considering it's from a restaurant.
Tracked yesterday? Yes!

Hi 👋
I was almost finished with a post that I spent half an hour working on, then I lost it.
My appt went great, I left it with a feeling of hope! I'll give you more details later when I can spend the time.
@Katmary71 I'll share some pictures, I totally forgot.
Y'all have a great day and I'll be back later.

Hi 👋
Yesterday, my appt went well. The Dr went through every aspect of my journey. She helped me to see how Wegovy has helped me in ways that the scale is not showing. She was empathetic and very patient with me.
She increased my dose of Wegovy to 1.0 pending insurance approval. She gave me instructions •64 oz of water per day •25 grams Fiber per day •100-110 grams of protein • strength training twice a week •High on Life podcast by Dr Sasha High
I left the office with a feeling of hope.
So, on another note: I am having bloody stools. I am hoping it's just an ulcer. We will see…
Here are a few pictures, @Katmary71 I'm sorry it took so long
When the roses and Lillie's and peonies start blooming I'll share some more.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Yes they’re ornamental eggplants, my best friend grew one a few years ago and I’d never heard of it. I was tempted to keep it for myself but so glad I gave it to my friend she was delighted. The only two cars I’ve had are a Honda Civic and a Toyota Camry, they’re both good cars! You’re smart taking good care of your car especially with how much you’re driving, that would be great if you had two more years. Huge hug I’m sorry to hear of the tough mental health days lately. I hope the rash clears up soon with the medication. I’m sad reading how you’re feeling especially since the last few years you’ve had to be a rock for the rest of the family between babies, relationship problems, and mental health issues as you’ve gotten the family through so much. Losing 60lbs is amazing I know you can do it again!
@micaroo4 Thank you got the weigh in logged, have a great trip!
@19shmoo69 Funny I wonder what happened? I figured with some of the ingredients it was chopped or blended.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks for the Forks Over Knives mayo recipe it sounds good too!
@trooworld That’s true you never know what’s in someone else’s BBQ sauce. You could be like Wendy Williams she used to keep hot sauce in her purse when she went to restaurants but then others at the BBQ might tease you. Thanks for the print out I got it! I had it saved on my laptop but not my desktop. Big surprise the one thing I forgot to do was make time to rest, LOL. That is odd to have someone pull up and ask about breeding Violet. Hope the restaurant lunch goes well!
@DrewsAnna Oh no I hate losing posts! I’m so glad the appointment went well yay!
Hi team! Long day the greenhouse went well, we started pok choy, lettuce, squash, and parsley and I got some thinning done. We finally have the automatic watering working in there which is awesome. I went to the community garden and repaired my broken pipe in my drip system. Hit Trader Joe’s to get plants for Mother’s Day. @TeresaW2024 What do you think of White Mountain puzzles have you done any? My nephew’s birthday is today and I just ordered him a Washington DC puzzle by White Mountain as he’s going there in June. I came home and all the steam went out of me and I went and climbed in bed and fell asleep. I had the pain clinic appointment after that and a treatment with the Functional Medicine Practitioner then came home and my roommate and I had dinner and watched another episode of Poker face.
7 Day Reset- My brunch is the egg bites I made to last me a few mornings. I didn’t do the workout yet I’m planning to do it tomorrow. I did some car browsing but don’t want to go tomorrow. There IS a nice red Corolla, now that I’m paying attention I see them on the road everywhere and they’re real cute, it’s basically down to a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. My Dad’s got me wanting leather seats which Corollas don’t have. I’m having a mellow morning tomorrow to stay in bed reading, really looking forward to it!
Have a fantastic Friday!

@askewcr Congrats on the loss!
@DrewsAnna That's great! Thanks for the podcast. I'm glad you are feeling hope. Are you going to go to the doctor about the stools? Your flowers look beautiful, wow!
@Katmary71 haha yeah, and plus, the BBQ sauce is usually already on the meat so it wouldn't matter. I'm glad you got the printout! You still have time to make time to rest, that's going to be hard for me, too! Yes, it was odd. Thanks! Sounds like you needed sleep. I went to bed early, too, I was exhausted. I have leather seats in my Prius and I love them, they are really pleather but that's fine for me. I'm glad you are having a mellow day today.
Hi all. At the luncheon yesterday, I ended up ordering the short ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots. I didn't really like the short ribs all that much but the mashed potatoes and carrots were delicious. I didn't eat much of the meal. Unfortunately, I was at the end of the table and could not hear the conversations very well. Today, I work from home and the handyman is coming to do some painting in the bathroom.
Tracked yesterday? Yes!

@vegan4lyfe2012, I am so sorry that you are struggling. I have had an intertrigo rash before, and I know how unpleasant that is. I have the same frustrated feelings about gaining my weight back, so I totally understand your feelings. All we can do is forgive ourselves and move forward—one day and one meal at a time. 💓
@Katmary71 I wish you could come to Aldi with me too! I walked in there yesterday, and they have reset the entire store. I had to hunt down my stuff, and now I must memorize a new layout. Retail! 🙄 How nice of your fellow gardener to notice how much better your ability to move is. 🙂
@DrewsAnna I love your garden! Calla Lilies are my favorite flowers! 😍
@trooworld It is odd that a stranger asks if you want to breed your dog. People are so weird! 😂 We tried one of the Kevin garlic chicken meals, which was really good. I have the BBQ chicken one to try.
Good morning! I will be so happy when we can find my niece a car and finish this stressful process. She only wants a Ford Explorer Limited, which she had, and it has to be at a price we can afford, yet be a great vehicle. I also refuse to drive all over Georgia, so it must be either in town or able to be delivered to us. Ugh!! 😬And Joe is stressing me out with his constant dizziness. I don’t know what it could be! We have done all the tests, and now I’m thinking he is just progressing as an old man with dementia. Needless to say, I am tired and stressed, but I will do a good workout this morning and try not to eat my emotions. Have a great day! 🙂3 -

@DrewsAnna Your doctor sounds awesome I love when someone can see positives we may not be able to. The functional medicine practitioner I see is like that too. I hope all the tips and increase work well for you, sounds like some great tips! Oh no I’m sorry to hear of the stools, I hope you can get in with a doctor fast that’s frightening. Wow your yard is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing I love it!
@trooworld I’m sorry the luncheon wasn’t the best. Until being secretary for the charity I tend to sit at the end of tables too (probably started from being a lefty). It’s frustrating when you can’t hear the conversation I know a lot of restaurants are like that where they stink for chatting. I hope the painting goes well today. I was thinking of the breeding question, awhile back a young man came up to me when I was going in Petco for Asher’s nail trims and wanted to pet my cat who was yowling in the carrier. Asher’s not too friendly plus he’s in a carrier in the parking lot plus I don’t trust this person not to run off with him so I said no and walked faster. Your dog’s sex life is no stranger’s business geez!
@TeresaW2024 Oh no I’m not a big fan of stores reorganizing! Trader Joe’s recently did that and I couldn’t find anything. I hope it doesn’t take too long to relearn it. Shoot I guess your niece can’t do all the legwork then call you when she’s found the right car, I hope it’s over soon! Poor you and Joe, hopefully you’ll get to the bottom of it soon. Could it be allergies like maybe a sinus infection affecting the inner ear? Get that workout in!
Hi team! Still was feeling worn out today so I stayed in bed for awhile and read, the cats were very happy about that! We just got some Martha tents for the mushrooms at the farm so I went by to see them and pulled weeds while chatting then pick up my prescriptions. I sent out an email for the functional medicine practitioner and forgot something so may have to redo it but I’m not calling her back until tomorrow so I can rest. I’m doing a CRPS awareness walk next month with the local support group and made the poster for our social media, we’re going to meet at a park to be part of the RSDSA walk. The park has a beautiful rose garden I’m excited to check out. Took a couple naps and have been reading tonight, I did wake up after the last one and got the yard watered and started mulching the tomatoes. Hoping to be done planting in the next week.
7 DAY RESET- I browsed CarMax (my main goal was to get started shopping so I reached that). There’s currently a beautiful red Toyota Corolla I may go see soon if it doesn’t sell out. Still eating the egg muffins I made a few days ago. I started the workout video and didn’t have the energy for it so I switched it to a stretching video. I have enjoyed having focus on a few things instead of a lot.

@TeresaW2024 Yes it was kind of unsettling, I thought maybe he was going to try to steal her lol. I'm glad you liked the Kevin meal, they are nice in a pinch if you don't feel like cooking! That car sounds like a tall order. I hope you can find one soon. I'm sorry about all the stress. I hope the workout helped with it. Big hugs.
@Katmary71 I sat on the end because I am the biggest person so I thought it would be more comfortable for everyone but I won't be doing that again lol. It is frustrating. And it was a busy restaurant which made it worse. Yeah, it was weird (the Violet thing)...I couldn't figure out why he had stopped, I knew there was a reason. For a minute, I thought he was going to jump out of the car and try to steal her from me. But then he said about breeding her and I knew that was his angle. I'm sorry you are worn out. I'm glad you got to relax.
7-DAY RESET - Today's task is to plan time to rest. I think I will read today at some point. Ideally, I would take a chair and go to the park and sit and read but I don't know if that will happen.
Hi all. It was a really nice day here yesterday, up in the high 70s/low 80s (F). After I got done working, I sat on the porch and read a little bit while waiting for a package to arrive.It was nice. At 7 pm, I was falling asleep in my recliner so I went to bed exhausted. The only things I have scheduled today are to pick up a Sam's Club order in the morning and then later today, get an oil change at the dealership. It should be another nice day (weather-wise). I stopped tracking the day that I went to the restaurant (I got hung up on the meal and how to track it), so I need to start tracking again today. We are having a nice meal today: cast iron smoked mushrooms, air fryer baked potatoes, and grilled ribeye with herb butter. I wanted to use our grill for the first time in a while. I'll include a pic of the mushrooms because they look soooooo good I can't wait to taste them!

@Katmary71 My niece is also doing a lot of legwork for the car. However, we are both trapped in our homes and must use the Internet for our searches. We have decided to stick with CarMax, and I’m sure we will have something soon. She is great to work with and is so appreciative of everything we are helping her do. I hope your car search ends soon and you will have your new car. A red Toyota Corolla sounds nice! 🙂
@trooworld I hate it when I can’t hear well. That is my biggest complaint about the Zoom meetings at work. I failed at my attempt to track my food. I just can’t be bothered! 🤣 Enjoy your amazing-sounding dinner and beautiful weather! 😎
Good morning! Joe and I had a really good night's sleep, so hopefully today will be better for him. I now believe what happened to put him in the hospital was that his oncologist had put him on a steroid to try to balance his electrolytes. He had been doing so well, but then the meds ran out, and I didn’t think anything of it. Well, that was a BAD idea because I read that a person should never abruptly stop taking it once they're on it. He restarted it yesterday and will not come off it unless we do it right. Reading about medications is essential because these doctors don’t tell you anything!🤨 I just found out in the hospital that he should not take his low blood pressure meds and then lie down. Well, now I need to change the timing of that drug. Ugh!! We are in for a very rainy weekend, so no plans. I will do a workout this morning and put our weekly pills together. For dinner, I’m planning BBQ Sloppy Joes with onion rings. Have a good day! 🙂

Hi 👋
I went to my dr for my stools, she thinks maybe I have an ulcer. She sent a referral for an endoscopy and told me to stop taking Meloxicam. She doubled my dose of Omeprazole. Hopefully, I'll get an appt sooner than later.
Today, I'm going to take my Mom out to eat. She has requested Mexican food. Lol... not sure that is good for me if I do have an ulcer, but it's Mom.
Tomorrow is family potluck and game day for Mothers day. It'll be fun with my chaotic family.
Just in case I don't make it here tomorrow.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

@trooworld Yum those mushrooms look delicious and dinner sounds amazing! I’m glad you got in some rest/reading time. It’s sad I think we’ve lost the rest time by scrolling on our phones which isn’t restful at all!
@TeresaW2024 Oh good I’m glad to hear your niece is so appreciative. It’s amazing how much legwork you can do looking at cars online! Thank goodness you’ve figured out what’s going on with Joe that’s very frightening. Enjoy your tasty dinner!
@DrewsAnna I hope they get you in fast for the appointment too. Hope you have a wonderful time with your mom and the food situation isn’t too complicated. Hage a great Mother’s Day!
Hi team! Got up early and spent some time in the yard then went to the farmer’s market (Mom’s getting a Pink Oyster mushroom kit and some beauty stuff plus a plant) and stopped for a gift card for my nephew’s birthday and some fruit. We’re going from 90s to 70s tomorrow so I’m hoping to wrap up most of my planting before going to my brother’s to celebrate Mother’s Day. If I get most of my stuff in I can drop tomatoes off at the Take a Plant Stand by my brother’s and not need to water seedlings so often which would be great. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
7 Day Reset- Got my rest in yesterday and today around gardening and typing up mushroom notes. I did everything I wanted to do, I wasn’t expecting to find a car in a week but I wanted to make some good progress and I have. I started thinking a hatchback would be nice and that’s thrown a loop in my searching. Overall the reset was good for me. I’ve been thinking more how I need to be serious to lose weight as I’m back to where I was at the start of the year.

Arrived at our vacation destination after days of driving. Weather was awful on Friday, but Saturday was beautiful. Traffic was terrible Friday, but Saturday we had only one small delay and one detour. Not bad for 1000+ miles on the road.

@TeresaW2024 Yeah it sucks lol. I know you hate tracking anyway! Thank you! I'm glad Joe slept well. I'm glad you got the meds refilled. His medication management sounds stressful! Yummy dinner!
@Cornanda Way to go! Are you still doing the Mayo Clinic Diet? How's work?
@DrewsAnna I hope they can figure out your stool issues. Have fun today!
@Katmary71 Thanks! I agree about phone scrolling. I do it too much lol. You should have nice weather today. I hope your Mother's Day goes well. I'm glad you got something out of the reset.
7-Day Reset - I rested and it was wonderful! The biggest take away for me was that I do well with lists. They ease my anxiety. So, I'll do more of those!
Hi all. I had a nice day yesterday: It got up to 95F here! I picked up groceries, went to the Little Italy Farmer's Market and walked around, went to the coffee shop and read (I started a new book which I liked better than the one I was reading) for quite a while, then went to get the oil change. After I came home from that, my DH and I went for a walk in our favorite neighborhood. We stopped and had a non-alcoholic beer and read some more. Came home and, even though it was 8:30 pm, I made dinner: I cleaned off the grill for the first grill of the season (although living in Southern CA, grill season is all year round lol). Dinner was good but too rich, I only took a few bites of everything. I didn't want to get sick from all the butter!
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers of all kinds! I hope this day does not bring you sad memories, only happy ones. Mother's Day is tough for me: my mom and I had a terrible relationship and she's dead now. The relationship was never what my friends had with their moms. So, it's a tough day for me. We are going over to visit with my MIL and SIL. My SIL is getting Italian food and I am making an Italian garden salad with homemade croutons and dressing. We bought a chocolate opera cake from Sam's Club, they are really good (they call them "Tuxedo" cakes). I am still not tracking...argh!

@Katmary71 Your mom is going to love her Mother’s Day gifts! A hatchback would be nice, considering all the plants you like to haul around. My niece realized yesterday that the later models of the Ford Explorer don’t have the bucket seats she has to have with three carseats to maneuver. So, now she is looking for an older model that is still in good condition. It will save money upfront, but repairs could cost more later. I just want to be done, but it’s good she is taking her time and discovering what she needs. It would help if she would stop whining about how much she loved the car she had and how it would have been paid off early next year. 🙂
@micaroo4 enjoy your vacation! 🙂
@trooworld Your day sounds great! I also do better if I have a list, which is why I always have at least two to three stockies on my desk at all times. As you know, Mother’s Day isn’t my favorite holiday either. But I am happy for all my mom friends who love it. 🙂
Good morning and happy Mother’s Day! There is not much going on today. We are staying home from church because it will be super rainy, and Joe is still not strong enough. Plus, I don’t need to sit through a special Mother’s Day sermon and watch videos of our cute kids talking about how great their moms are. Hopefully, we will get back in person next week. I just did a killer quad and calf workout, and now my legs feel like jelly! Not much planned for today. I will work on my latest puzzle and make turkey and Swiss sandwiches on sourdough bread. Have a great day! ☺️

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms!
I hope it is a great one for everyone. John is going to grill Ribeyes for his mom, sis and I, while I make the baked potatoes and green beans. I will eat half of my steak and use the rest for breakfast in the morning.
Things are moving along here, not too much to talk about. I am taking my 4th injection of Wegovy tonight and since my prior Authorization is not done I will stay on the 0.5mg for another month, which is fine with me. I still have days that I get nauseous but I am figuring out that it is with certain foods and not eating when needed. So I am back to cooking breakfast, drinking protein shakes for lunch and cooking dinner. I am having a hard time eating all my calories maxing out at maybe 800-1000 a day. I am also trying to be more active throughout the day. Now that the rain is over here for now I am going to get started on some outside painting on the house.
