I have lost track of what acct # this is... 0 -
Have the day to myself in the office as my coworker had to go home. Then I'll have the evening to myself at home as my hubby is working evenings today.
It should make for a good active evening and low calories because I only have to worry about myself for food.
I just sent in an application for the second craft fair for the fall. I am being more selective this year and doing the bigger shows so I don't waste hours sitting and not selling anything. I hope they are successful as that will pay for Christmas.2 -

NSV today - I was SO tempted (and Hungry) while shopping earlier that I said *kitten* it, I'm going to go into that restaurant and get a cocktail and some lunch. I never do this.
Well, the host wasn't at his podium thing, so I went into the ladies room. While washing my hands, I somehow chickened out--I don't like eating or drinking alone, so I came out, host still wasn't there, so I left.
At home I'm having leftover stuff that is within calories and a nice mug of decaf coffee. .........Whew~~
...Not to mention I would have totally lost any ambition to do the things I need to do this afternoon......
Hellos to Sara and Lynn and Kathryn and Tracey and Dawn and Tess and Missy and Eryn and Tracy and Saltine and anyone else who stops by later on~~

Sara- may make the black bean burgers tonight for dinner! Thanks for the recipe!
Lana - great NSV!
Snowflake - what all do you make for the craft fairs?1 -
Hi all! And happy belated bday, Kathryn!!!
Busy work day as usual. Had my crustless quiche and a bit of my leftovers from yesterday for lunch with a 100 calorie pack of natural almonds/walnuts for a snack!
Doing an easy, but within calorie sub for dinner tonight since the husband and I are going to do some house stuff. He’s going to do some grouting and I’m going to do some painting. We just recently put down new floor in our bedroom (we had pipes burst a few months back, so our floor has been concrete since!) and now I am excited to paint an accent wall, lol. So that’s my plan for the evening.
About to head home for the day! Have a great evening, all!1 -
These are samples of our work. My husband wood burns and I paint. The little snowmen are only painted and dressed by me.
This year we plan on adding to it a bit and doing some picture frames, boxes, key holders, etc. Last year was our first year and we sold close to $3000 worth of items. We have a facebook page called Riverwood Crafts Yeg

Very cute Snowflake! Good luck at the craft fairs. I had a BIL that did them ears back selling stained glass. He quickly figured out which ones were good to attend and which were not.
Lana - you made me laugh about your restaurant experience!
Eryn - painting - good luck at that as well. I am not good at painting (:
Have a great night - skies are getting ominous here. Storms are coming....

Love all of those!0 -
Lana - imagine the $$ you saved as well. One of these days what you were tempted to do will be the best thing and you will enjoy it.
Lady who sits next to me makes lace and I have boxes of stuff from a former neighbor. It is heavy so I may just drop it off at work on way to apt #1 tomorrow. I hope she embroiders because there is more for that and the old good stuff you cannot buy anymore.
On couch with plenty of room - hide with me in the corner as I watch Leandro go through his moves.

WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
Got dog to "sleep in" a little. Day off for appointments. Will see if I will take advantage of the downtime and do any housework. Dont hold your breath, but maybe.
Lunch today is in the air, hmmmm......
Wave to all who follow. BBL.1 -
Thank you for the compliments on the ornaments. This weekend hopefully we will be cutting wood and getting going on getting some more made. My husband comes up with most of the designs, I just give him the subject.
He did some beautiful scenery ones last year and some barns that sold well. I don't seem to have pictures of them.
I am waiting rather impatiently for a guy to come pick up a barbecue that I am giving away for free. I am going to do some selling once he is on his way. I wanted to just leave it in the yard but my husband didn't like that idea. Go figure.
Hope everyone has a great day!1 -
Remembered to log everything yesterday. However, it wasnt a good day. At one point I actually said to myself, why the heck not, and grabbed a coffeecake muffin!! (of course I didnt know at the time it was SEVEN HUNDRED calories!) ugh!
Doing better food choice-wise today. I have lots of shredded broccoli slaw & salads and fresh fruit in fridge. My sister shipped me a big box of fresh Coho salmon, snapper, and shrimp from the Pacific northwest today (birthday gift that got here late) So I will be cooking healthy tonight - and tomorrow - and the next day.....
My short term goal is to do without processed foods, sugar, white breads, etc for at least 2 weeks. If I can make it that long, then craving for sugars/carbs usually subsides.2 -

It is ridiculous the amount of calories in a simple muffin. I haven't eaten any in years because of that. There are a lot of things now I just avoid because of the calorie count. My fear is this winter, I am a meat and potato type of girl and I'm trying to come up with lighter options for suppers. I enjoy salads in the summer, but not in the winter.1 -
Snowflake - wow your creations are awesome. My BIL did craft sales too and he quickly figured out which ones paid to attend and which did not.
Hickchick - 700! wow! No wonder muffins are so good. I too try hard to avoid sugar and processed foods. Never 100% successful. but I can always tell when I do better for longer periods of time as I feel better. But then why do I not continue?? that is the big question.
We had the final group of storms move through. Today feels like fall. Yesterday though I couldve swam in my yard! We had too much rain, but luckily no trees down and no water in my house. The closest town to me even made the national news this AM due to tornado touchdown and so many flooded towns. Feel so bad for people with weather woes. Having water rushing into your home must make one feel so helpless. I am working on uploading a picture of my son and dog enjoying the water in my backyard. Not cooperating right now.

I have to share this feel good moment with everyone. It is Lauryn's (my eldest daughter) facebook post today.
J is my grandson Jonah who is 6. Mick is my granddaughter Michaela who is 2 1/2.
When the kids were getting me out of bed this morning, we were talking about what we were going to do today.
J: have breakfast, and.... wait what day is it?
Me: Wednesday
J: so we're going to Grammie's house
Me: yup.
Mick: Mimi house?!
Me: after lunch, and after nap time
Mick: no! Had big sleep!
Me: you had a big sleep, so you don't need a nap?
Mick: yup no nap. Go Mimi house.
I commented on it and said tell Michaela she needs to have a nap so she isn't grouchy when she visits. Lauryn told her and her response was: yeah Mimi best friend.
My heart grew today and my eyes welled up!

So, I decided to give Intermittent fasting a go... it worked great, for about a week and a half.. weighed myself every other day, each day lost a little more... up to 1.4 pounds in 2 days... then, boom... here comes the weight again... it's ALL back! I have not changed anything, since I started.... same amount of hours eating/fasting...I don't get it...I thought I found the way to break my plateau... this is so incredibly discouraging...1

I am going through the same thing or so I thought. When I do an average over 7 days though I’m actually losing. Not really enough to write home about but a loss at least. I also fast, but mostly so I have free calories for the evening.1
