Confession time: I'm an emotional eater and life is exploding. Had comfort food for dinner last night, but back on plan today.
Everyone here is an inspiration and this group keeps me honest. Thanks for being here.2 -
Colofit- jump right in! Welcome. We started this group as a new place to land from WW when they eliminated their original message board format, but we welcome anyone who understands the "repeat" button on life.
Twiley - Lana keeps track of names, I am miserable with names even at work..... - many of us eat /overeat our feelings, key is to recognize it and keep moving forwards. You did both so pat yourself on the back. Hardest step is to keep the really bad comfort food out of the house.
Off to work.2 -

It was homemade biscuits. I try to be gluten free and was for several years, but SO requested biscuits. I ate three.
Not a problem on the name thing. I have the same trouble. Wiley is actually my last name anyway. T is for Tracy.
Have a wonderful day at work! I'm lurking from work. Everyone from my department is in a meeting except me.

My daughter was telling me about this last night. I thought it was worth sharing.

I got my first outdoor swim in today. I much prefer this to indoor pool. I'm one who needs some sun. The Y has a pay for the day. My own gym has an indoor pool, which is okay, but it's dimly lit. So much nicer to be outside.1

My daughter suffers from anxiety and depression, she said this was eerily accurate for her.2 -

Definite depression for me... not sure about anxiety...I am a worrier, if that counts... I've also never really craved salt, so I don't know how true it is for me....0 -
Sara - snickers with hazelnuts is yummy... but, not sure it was worth the reward...0

Good evening,
Had a good dental cleaning, passed the fancy chocolate shop - hot chocolate after dinner may be happening though...
Director of department gave me a $10 Starbucks gift card for all the knitting/gifting I do, saying that it is being noticed.
Love that craving list...... lived in all categories at some point!
Wishing all a good night.1 -

Considering this quote for the backside of the T-shirt contest.
Hey did Vegas show up to play tonight ?? Tied in the 3rd.......1 -
CAPITALS WIN!!! Serious celebrating in the Nation’s Capital....#ALLCAPS6

FRIDAY
Good morning,
Tess - yay!! Little hungover from celebrating??? Luckily it is Friday.
Spinach and zucchini in fruit/veg box, so making more enchiladas I can heat enchiladas up at work and maybe some more sandwich wraps for dinner - 100 degrees again starting Monday, so why cook??
T- Shirt contest entry is almost done and will work on my knitting/crocheting after work as well. Watching "Tales of the City" online - what a great cast.
Wave to all who follow. Lurking from work.1 -
Hey Sara....VERY tired but happy this morning. Went to bed at 2:00, up at 6:30 to catch the bus. All worth it....2

CAPITALS WIN!!! Serious celebrating in the Nation’s Capital....#ALLCAPS
I saw the last couple minutes of the game and watched the trophy presentations. I even continued to watch after the hubby went to bed. It's pretty cool watching them celebrate. Congratulations on your team winning.1 -
Tess- woo hoo! Congrats to the Caps!0
-
Tess - Whoo hoo! Go CAPS! I haven't watched hockey in years, well, at least since the Indianapolis Checkers & the Indianapolis Ice ceased to exist. I did manage to catch some of the Caps action though!
Lana - Glad you got to take your cruise! way to go on keeping up with walking and not going overboard on the buffets! (pardon the pun)
Sara - congrats on the recognition at work for your knitting/crocheting. you certainly do a lot of it! Am headed to physical therapy after work for my shoulder. Tore muscle years ago but never did anything about it & it healed wrong. Now dealing with scar tissue and adhesions. Yuk! So make sure you see a medical professional if it keeps bothering you.
Dawn - hazelnut is certainly not something i would want in a snickers. but i do love their almond one though. rewarded myself with a free cookie from subway today when i picked up lunch. it was free and i didnt want to appear rude & refuse it (thats my story and i'm sticking to it! LOL)
Got 4 pounds of strawberries at the store, looked great, bit into them and yuck! not sure what issue was but they certainly didnt taste like fresh strawberries. were bitter & dry, almost like a nut when it goes rancid. that store is too out of the way to take them back. kills me to have to throw them out.
*sending Cboys for fresh, sweet strawberries*
waves to the new faces and all who stop in today!!!

Well, I had a stupid, crazy lunch. But it was so worth it! My choices should bring my iron levels up and give me a bit of energy to face the housework over the weekend.

Sort of taking a day off from working out. But sure doesn't feel like it since I'm doing housecleaning. LOL With 3 big pups, I can knit another dog with the amount of hair the vacuum picks up!!
1 -
izenzo, I feel you there! I have two big dogs and I can never keep up with all of the hair!
I've had a VERY strict, healthy diet this week with no indulgences, so I am going to enjoy a little* bit tonight. Having a little date night with my husband but keeping it reasonable. I've eaten well all day and week and don't want to ruin my efforts!
Happy Friday, all!

Kathryn - that is a real bummer about the strawberries...I have had that happen.... so disappointing... hazelnut wasn't bad in the Snickers...I think I will stick to regular ol Snickers, tho...
What kind of dogs? I have 2, Senior Boston Terriers...we're all animal lovers, here...0 -
SATURDAY
Good morning. Dog up early
T - shirt contest had so many rules (glad the legal department was working hard). We shall see what we shall see. I showed it to 2 people and they liked it and the simplicity of it. It could be easily reproduced.
Windows open for a little while - cool air until Monday and then another couple HOT days.
Normal errands and then knitting/reading - napping.
Would you put sliced raw turnips (white little ones) into a sandwich wrap? I got some in the fruit/veg box and just wondering if that would work.
BBL1 -
Hanging at the library, then off to the grocery store. I have a work event tomorrow afternoon so it will be a short weekend.
Never tried turnips, Sara. They have them at the CSA but haven’t had the courage to try them. Don’t they tend to be a bit bitter on their own? Whoever suggested I try roasting radishes - thank you! While I didn’t exactly roast them, I did cook them in a pan with olive oil, onions and beets - with a splash of lime juice and just a dash of raw sugar. Delicious!
Happy Saturday all,
Tess1 -
Tess, turnips and radishes are sweeter when roasted or cooked like you did. I got white turnips in mine and I decided to roast with whole carrots and put into fried rice (with scrambled egg) and slice and put into sandwich wraps.1

SUNDAY
Good morning,
Groceries then home. Zucchini Enchiladas (on Skinnytaste.com) today. Will also try and finish knitting the doll for coworkers baby shower in July.
More sleep? Hope so.

Wow...I fell at work yesterday... on concrete floor, of course... boy, my body is screaming at me, today... miss the days of bouncing right back..hehe
My mom's oldest brother and sister are trying to cause more grief and I really just want to yell at them.. because of them, my Gma is upset with my Mom, because she took Gpa out of the hospital at his last stay. Gpa was upset, didn't want to be there and it was going to be bad. They have Gma convinced, if he stayed they would have been able to "make him better" when, in all reality, they would have prolonged his suffering and it would have been worse than what he had to deal with. Not one person in my family understands or wants to accept that he had this horrible disease. I don't want to. But, I had to. I read about the disease and it is definitely what he had. They don't want to accept things. There's no point in causing issues. No one wants him to be gone. But, him being here, we were all wishing the suffering would end.
Sorry for being a downer. It's just been getting to me. It's so hard to believe how horrible my family truly is.3
