    Good evening,

    Leftover roasted vegetable "soup" for dinner. Making chicken chili and a quiche this weekend - cannot have tomatoes every day - citric acid overload. Got my Pampered Chef items so I can make salads in a jar and take to work, so the first will be "taco" salad less the tortilla chips - lettuce/rice/ chicken chili with beans (drained) cheese and sour cream dressing with onions.

    Is it Tess or Kathryn whose DH is an expert on Pampered Chef - will the dressing leak out of the top of the jar if it is on its side (lunch bag may only allow me to pack it on its side). Pipe in when you can.

    Romance novel and hot chocolate, what a way to end a day.

    Wishing all a good night.

    FRIDAY

    Good morning. Dog up and fed.

    Rained here yesterday - supposed to clear up for weekend.

    Asked Sup in meeting yesterday if swearing was allowed on the work floor. I am to let her knew next time neighbor gets "colorful" so she can hear it - the message about being in a monastery is for me to keep under the radar when the people around me get into trouble for talking.

    TGIF - lurking from work. Wave to all who follow.

    Morning All~~

    I tracked all my food and exercise two days in a row. Serial starting on building up some good habits.
    This is a hugely hard thing for me. It takes time to enter all that stuff into the app, and I can be lazy.
    However, the "Frequent" and "Recent" lists in the app ARE very helpful.

    Track track track!

    In lieu of Planning (which I will work on eventually), I have my kitchen filled with almost all healthy things, plus one container of oatmeal raisin cookies. I like them, but they aren't chocolate, so I don't seem to have any binging trouble with them. One or two per day max, tracked as a desert.

    I got a hilly 2-mile walk in yesterday! Whew!

    Hi Dawn~~

    I'm a daily weigher. My official day is Sunday, but I like to post numbers.

    Hey TGIF! I think that the Cabana Boys are having the usual Friday Blowout Happy Hour. The usual calorie free stuff for us, and there's special dog treats for everyone's fur babies. ;)

    okay I am not having a good day - personal pet peeve is when people have salads in the plastic containers they shake their salads to mix it all up. Coworker does it nearby. About ready to take it away from her.

    I'm a newbie to the thread. Hi! I'm a potty mouthed mother of 3. I like food... which is why I'm here.

    I'm in to lose 65-70 pounds. I'm praying to every God in or out of existence to save me from loose skin (hah, unlikely). But mainly I'm enjoying getting stronger and more capable. Alas... I still needed help opening pickle jars yesterday. Woe.

    Sounds a lot like my work days, lately... go grab it, shake it real good once and give it back to her...lol

    Welcome graysky! You found the perfect place for support and encouragement! Sounds like you have yer hands full with 3 kiddos...as far as potty mouth, I'm not opposed (catch me on a bad day) but MFP seems to think "kitten" is more appropriate... it's quite funny when all you really wanna say is "kitten" but they say "kitten" Come back often! Happy Hour with the Cabana Boys later! Don't want to miss them!

    Hi Everyone, Happy Friday!! :D

    My week has gone fairly good, got my walking in & my morning running done, kinda a little scared as I still have 57 KM left to do this month to reach my 300 KM goal...fingers crossed I can do it!

    I am going to see a Dietitian tomorrow, & will show her MFP account so she can see my workouts & calorie intake (I don't think the whole CICO theory is working for me) maybe she will be able to help tweak my macros or something...but we'll see what she says. Oh & depending on how icy it is here (freezing rain where I am today & last night) maybe I will walk there & finally get a weekend workout in at the same time...(that also depends on what time I drag my behind out of bed)...haha

    Have to make more homemade dog treats for my fur babies this weekend <3<3 as they ate the other 2 batches within 2 weeks...I actually gave them a store bought treat this morning before leaving & my one male dog Mocha didn't want it, but when he did take it he looked more disgusted with having to put it in his mouth than anything lol & he used to really like that kind....between human food (meat & veggies usually their dinner after we eat) & homemade treats I think we spoil them too much...hahaha :D

    Lana~ I too am a daily weigh-er it helps keep me on track...I think...lol :wink:

    ***Waves to all who follow & to all the newcomers***

    Have a great weekend everyone!!

    I decided at lunch to crochet hearts for the people getting chemotherapy and nuts to my coworkers. Emailed the contact I have at the cancer place and asked if they would be okay to send and they said yes......turn that snarky face around.

    Welcome GraySky!

    Sara - thank you for crocheting the hearts.
    I have never heard of anyone shaking a salad. How in the world have I made it this many decades without shaking a single one of my salads? Also, back when I used to work for a living, not a single colleague ever shook a salad. What does shaking do? Answer not really necessary.

    Saltine, you devil, have a good session with dietician tomorrow!

    Dawn~ Do you get the weekend off?

    Waves to Annie and Kathryn and Tess

    Lana - shaking your salad distributes the salad dressing so each piece has some on it. Like you I have had to eat "naked" salad - or is that kitten salad ? - that must be why my life is so messed up - hahahahaha. At work and everyone has gone home. Staying quiet and under the rock.

    I am a serial serial starter starting again. I did well all week but messed up big time today. Not giving up though. This week has been horrible in every way possible and food was the last thing I worried about. I am signing on this forum hoping that I can avoid sabotaging myself with food because my problems of this week are not likely to be solved soon.

    Good evening,

    Oatmeal for dinner too much snacking today.

    DLM - stop by when you can, think small steps that you can do to "fight back".

    Will wash the dishes in the kitchen sink tonight as I have cooking to do Saturday and Sunday. Would like to get one thing done off my list before tomorrow starts.

    Cosy chai is in scentsy and it is wonderful. Dawn - on behalf of the animals. Thank you!

    Dvd from Netflix is one of Colin Firth's earlier appearances - called Lost Empires. It is a series. In case Lana might be interested....

    *under Lana's Palm Tree with Miss Tillie - she is eager for the dog treats and brushing.

    Wishing all a good night

    Hi, my name is Tess and I shake salads...I will now be more sensitive that it can be annoying to people. :blush:

    Welcome dlm4mom and graysky (any other newbies I’ve missed?). Don’t worry about one messed up day - remember that you are in charge and can make the next day better. I started on this journey 1/1/17 and lost 50 lbs over the year by taking it one day at a time. Slipped up a lot and just got back to it the next day. This forum helps a lot. Much understanding, forgiveness, gentle prodding.

    Saltine, I’m exhausted just READING about your day. Am so impressed.

    Dawn, your posts reminded me its time for Kitty #1’s annual check-up. Must get on that.

    Sara, am continuing to be inspired by your charity knitting, although my pace is MUCH slower than yours. Am still on scarf #2 for this year although the variegated yarn is knitting up so lovely that it is making me smile.

    Lana, you’re in NC now, right? Hope the Southern C-boys are behaving themselves.

    Kathryn, thinking about you and hoping 2018 is off to the solid start you need it to be.

    Annie, hope the move-in is going well. Every time you start to feel overwhelmed, remember “I no longer live across the street from a drug house.”

    Work has been so immensely busy and I’ve been trying to be diligent about going to the gym after work since it’s been too cold for walking. Suffered a minor but painful heel injury yesterday so am annoyed that it will curtail exercise for a couple days. With the shorter days and colder weather, my metabolism sank like a stone and food I could ignore in the spring/summer/fall has now become extremely hard to pass up. Counting the days to spring. Anyway, I’ve been exhausted by the time I get home so that’s why I’ve been quiet on the Forum. Thanks for wondering. : )

    Waves to all - Happy Friday

    Tess
