Serial Starters

Heat out again at work. Its a balmy 62 degrees in my office at the moment and I am in a cardigan, blanket, and have space heater going. Its also dismal, gray, cold, and pouring down rain outside. Happy Monday!

Still dealing with some after effects from the food poisoning. Lots of stomach cramps. May be headed back to doctor again. My appetite and tastebuds seem to be missing as well. Would like to think this would drop my weight drastically but it hasn't. Not sure if that is something to be worried about.

Hope you feel better, soon. I'm sure, shivering from the cold at work isn't helping.. hugs

Hi Sara - I am so glad to hear that you are sleeping better and longer--good for you!
By the way - Joāo has told me that indeed, the card you sent did get forwarded along. He will bring it by once I am back in NC on Thursday!
I've heard that he is quite the dance instructor, and he'll be doing our Wednesday Happy Hour. 💃🕺🏽
He's bringing feather boas for all of us, in case it's a tad chilly by the pool.

Lynn - let's hear it for the streaks! Keep at it! I'm tagging along.....Never underestimate the power of a short streak followed by a short streak ......far better than no streaks!

Kathryn - Eat yogurt and take some good probiotics! I hope that your system resets itself soon! As for work....hang in there. Walk around every 30 minutes or so to get the blood moving. Drink lots of water if you are sitting in front of a heater and getting dehydrated. Alejandro is coming with hand and face moisturizer.

Dawn - sending warmth out to west of the Mississippi.

Goodness girls - what's for dinner?

Maybe some ham and spinach salad here with a big glass of milk here.....

Lana

Happy Tuesday!
Below zero wind chills later today and tomorrow AM. Likely no walk in the am. Got one in today, but it was chilly. Bundled up like a snowman!
Good day yesterday with my food choices. We had a holiday social with lots of cookies and candy but also pretzels fruit and veggies. So i kept my sweet tooth at bay. I did cheat and had some pita chips and cheese dip last night at home that I did not really "need" But I must say I can call yesterday day on of my next streak
Have yourself a great Tuesday!
Lynn

"Super" probiotics on the way. Hoping they help get everything back in line. Dr said food poisoning effects could be a few days to a few weeks. All depends on the person, their immune system, digestive tract, etc. Ugh!

Lana - thanks for sending Alejandro! i am trying to drink more to stay hydrated, but where is this free stuff youre talking about??!!
Sara - i was drinking hot water! i also found a can of broth here at work that helped a lot. i really like your "comfort without food" motto! i will try to stick to that! are you all settled in new place now?
Dawn - am glad you got to see and help your Gma. sorry it was rough though. <<<<hugs>>>> way to go on the Scentsy event!

Thank you so much... hoping she is better at Christmas.. mom says she is doing good..

Hope the "super" probiotics help... hugs

I managed to use my water bottle today! Got my half day water consumption in. Didn’t manage whole day but it’s a start! Also serially restarting my exercise regime today. My train is cancelled but I will still commit to where I get home however late that might now be, going on the exercise bike for 15 mins and doing the 7 minute work out app. I need to get rid of this awful belly ive acquired.

great answers above Laura! I will have to try some of them!!!
Waves to Sara (good luck with the smashogram) and Lana!
Dawn- I too wish you a good Christmas with Gramma
Kathryn - hope those probiotics help quickly. This is a long time already!
Lynn

Happy Friday All~~

Well Lynn, I threw my streak away yesterday. I ate too much while traveling - had drinks on the plane - sweets in the airport lounge. The scale tracked everything for me.
So today is Day One all over again. Hoping to latch onto the auspicious Friday the 13th to begin again.

Waving to Sara - I hope that your screening went well today. You are taking care of yourself by having it done. 💖

Waving to Dawn and Kathryn and Tracy and Tracey and Nikki and AnnLiz and Saltine and Laura and Runa and Missy and everyone who stops by this evening and weekend.

Hi Sara - I don't know what it is/was about mammograms. In the distant past, they didn't seem to hurt too much. Then, in the recent past, they would smash the hell out of me so badly that I learned it helped a lot to take two Advils and a Valium beforehand. My gyno would prescribe the Valium for me, just to get me through it.

I had dense breasts, which means that the mammograms would come out looking like a blizzard, and often they would have to do additional takes, and it was awful. I would go home and bruises would appear. It sucked.
The good old days~~

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I have not tried any new vegetables. I think I'm pretty good about eating a decent variety of them.

I like to steam and then chill either carrots or broccoli and keep them on hand in the fridge for snacking or dipping. I just don't like to eat those two raw. I can eat more, as a dipping veggie, if they are soft.

Jeez - now I think it's time for a snack!......
