    Good evening,

    Halo at work slipped as I tried to take something down that has been driving me crazy for over a year- person no longer sits there..... also tried to get someone in trouble. Karma may come my way.

    Found out that 2pm is "naptime" in a quieter place - thinking of getting protein bars - I dont need meal replacements and the ones I used to eat "plugged" me up had like 20 grams of protein. Any suggestions on decent protein bars is appreciated.

    Read http://www.eatthis.com/best-protein-bars/ - will see about the Kind Honey BBQ almond and Luna Mint chocolate chip - they are not as pricey and can get in stores.

    Dishwasher running and Philomena dvd in mail today.

    Wave to all a good night.

    Mother of Pearl.

    I just found out that a good friend of mine has a rare form of brain cancer; she got preliminary biopsy results today, and will be given detailed info at appointment at Sloan Kettering next Wednesday, but they think it's gliomatosis cerebri, which is so rare that in this country only 100 people are diagnosed with it each year. When I search Sloan's website, it's not even there! Weill Cornell has some info on it. Prognosis is very very poor because typical treatments are ineffective and there's relatively little research on it.

    You just never know, do you?

    Everybody be grateful for every day you have, and take good care of yourselves!

    [url="httphttps://gcregistry.com/daryn-clark://"]httphttps://gcregistry.com/daryn-clark://[/url] is a site that helped me better understand this type of brain cancer.

    I have a friend dealing with brain cancer but nothing like the kind your friend has which I had never heard of before you posted.

    FRIDAY

    Good morning.

    Lana - wow that's a curve ball. GaleHawkins thank you for the link. Positive thoughts effect biochemistry in ways doctors have no clue.... Sending good thoughts. Find something or something to wear that you will think of her when you focus on it or wear it - kind of like a talisman to send her good thoughts.

    Between fruit/veg delivery and cats outside, sleep has been iffy. I know the lady near me feeds the cats and she needs a smaller apartment (rent $$$) so I hope she finds one far enough away in the property that the cats go with her......

    It is Friday so TGIF - but I am tired. Not unusual for a Friday but it has been a whopper of a week.

    Wave to all who follow.

    Gale Hawkins - Big, big Thank Yous!

    Waves to Dawn and Kathryn and Sara~~

    Sara - you have had a whopper at work this week. I do hope that your new location is an improvement over the place you had. Now with Cat Woman.....why are her cats outside? I'm surprised that the "DNA" apartment complex would allow such a thing. Sorry about the lack of sleep.

    ***Notice to All****
    The Cabana Boys will be holding a Restorative Quiet Time Happy Hour at 5PM tonight. Just the sounds of the waves and the water features during your massages by the pool~~

    *tossing beach bag and sunglasses onto favorite lounge chair for later*

    I love the Detour bars and Quest Protein Bars. Detour has 3 flavors, 15g protein, 170 calories and taste like candy bars. Quest has 21g protein, ave 190 calories and 14g fiber in a multitude of flavors. I have tried about 18 of the flavors and have 8 favorites. I get Detour at Sams Club and Quest from either Amazon or Quest site, or where ever I can find the best price. Hope that helps.

    Good evening,

    Had to sent a claim someone brought to me at work, I forgot it - but I came straight home. Dog is fed and we can get the meditation music and pillows out - fruit drinks with salt on rims between sessions.

    Our section of the building is under construction so we have to walk more to get anywhere and boy did I walk a lot extra today. You may hear me snoring soon!!!

    Wishing all a good night.

    Good morning,

    Could not get on to this website this morning. Gee whillikers.

    Dog is all pretty after groomers and all my errands are done will have quiche for lunch. Bought a variety of protein bars to sample.

    Figured if I cancelled the paper and only ate at the Cafe at work 1 time a week I would be able to bridge the rent increase.

    New pattern to crochet a heart garland is going well and will not take too much time which is nice. Nice when a pattern works = does not look like picture, but it looks like a heart. Close enough for me.

    Boiled eggs (hard boiled)/raw nuts/ protein bar to keep the 2pm nap at bay this week. Making new quiche tomorrow, broccoli/onion/sauteed mushroom and the last of the Canadian Bacon.

    Wave to all who follow. Lunch is ready and I am hungry.

    Hey everyone!

    Not my 1st time to the rodeo. I lost 20 pounds on WW Smart Points, then they changed the program and the holidays/birthday happened. Now I'm just volleying 5 pounds up and down for the moth of January. Decided to try MFP again instead of WW as I'm not a fan of the new plan.

    I have been very active this week (compared to normal weeks for me) then today I've been inactive. I have a certification exam on Tuesday, so being the weekend before I use all the time I can to study and take practice exams.

    Welcome HR.... !

    Hi Sara~~ sorry to hear about rent increase. :(
    Glad Miss Tillie is all pretty and smells nice.

    I am in a funk today, and can't yet get rid of it. Just brain chemicals; hoping tomorrow will be better.

    Lana - get rid of newspaper and eat only once at the cafe will make up the rent increase.

    Took nap with Miss Tillie who is eating dinner. Oatmeal for me as I like to eat it once a day.

    HR - welcome and good luck on your exam Tuesday!

    Wishing all a good night - may fly by before lights out, but I may also fall asleep early.

    Hi everyone! From the posts I think this is a nice group of people. I've started and stopped my weight loss journey many times. I think I just don't give it the chance it deserves. My husband and I have a 14 month old and she is so fast! I think my new goal is to get healthy just to keep up with her. I hope I can be a friend and supportive person for all of you :)
