Debby VA -well Thankyou. Everyone normally just calls my hyper lol 😂.
Nuby.com finally is back up! So bought some more stuff. Glad it’s fixed we use it a lot. Found out they fixed my rewards while they were at it so $5 off! Yes!!! They got $1.35 2 pack of regular kids cups all the way to the best 360* cups (easier for premature kids like JR with weak suction) y can by parts so can fix cups you got. We use our company name but never asked for a tax code so even someone who just wants to buy can create a name like Grandmas cottage or your daycare name (they said lots of private home daycares use them which doesn’t have tax code)
New meals took 2 days to cook it all yesterday steak y chicken meal. Today Turkey 🦃 y egg white meals. Should give a good variety.
2 servings Egg whites with tomatoe bullion garlic powder y pepper,2 servings mash potatoes roasted flavor Idaho with unsweetened almond milk,corn plain,pinto beans /other one green beans I ran out of beans. Total calories 460 cal bean one/ 370cal green bean one (1 each)
2 containers of turkey chili canned, corn,pinto bean,green beans,y lettuce with onion 1 Tblspoon)y fried onion (1 tblspoon)
Total calories 453cal

My latest video I’m watching for shopping tips on food on a budget (This is done based on the U.K. but can still put it to use in any country). Plus I like videos where theirs no cussing /little slips okay only or annoying music like some rock metal bands.

He’s attempting 3 meals for a full day on a very very tight budget! Nothing from the cupboard allowed has to be with the amount he decided on only so 1 coin (coins are used for dollar amounts in many countries). He can’t go over that amount.2 -
Yes ... it's certainly not what I expected to be dealing with in my early 50s! We were so fit and healthy!! We both have good and bad days dealing with it all. And just to add for the fun his return to work person has appeared on the scene again. Yay!
Groan.
I am so sorry.

I haven’t logged my calories since then. I’m trying to get back to it today with a heavy heart.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hugs ladies!
So today, being it shopping day, I had my yogurt with vitamins and coffee. Though I did have an interesting time with my fasting, I do not like the ups and downs of it. I didn't eat in the morning, and working out in the mornings I felt so zapped after. Today I bought my 5 chobani Greek yogurts, and my breakfast flat biscuits which I delightfully use as spoons. I bought coconut flavored ones so that will be fun.
Lunch prep at noon won't be as much volume food wise, being that before, I was coming off a 21 hour fast. My go to meal is one slice of Rustic Oven hearty grains bread with avocado, diced tomatoes with onions, cucumbers, some well placed leaves from my Super Spinach pack, slices of turkey, a slice of pepper jack cheese, and a smear of Hidden Valleys ranch cucumber dressing. Can you say heaven? I am loving the Super Spinach container with leaves of bok choy, kale, spinach and other leaves I can't identify😜. There is a science in assemblage, using the avocado and dressing as "glue" for adherence!
Dinners shall be a small plate in whatever I am fixing for son and husband. Lunches are my time to play with food I love💖. Dinners will be learning how to acclimate to my family more. I no longer have my eating window between 12 noon to 3 pm. The downside of that window was that I was so sleepy after! My body would physically shut down for about 20 minutes, then I was fine.
Looking back at this experience, it amazed me at how little my body needs. I did feel the clarity that fasting promotes. A day or two every week might be my goal. It is a good way to restart my appetite, learning to listen and eat when I'm hungry, not that its a specific time of day. I felt empowered, that I could control my body like that. I didn't like the constipation part some weeks. I will keep my water intake up, but not my 1/2 of my body weight. I lost count how many times I got up at night! Even though afternoons I slowed down my intake.
If I lived by myself, I would have no problem fasting and it would be just my food in the kitchen. Cooking for others daily, and a kitchen stocked with others food is distracting, but that's reality. I would attend the gym at another time not right in the morning. But husband drives and its kind of his rules. I am thankful he goes every day, and its an "our time" activity. I could probably whine and tell him we need to go in the afternoon, but that's not me. In a way, taking the "its by choice" off the table, I just go. I mean I don't convince myself to let's say, brush my teeth, and I don't convince myself to attend the gym. Its just something we do.💖
Hope every one has a great weekend!💖

I'm so sorry. Your mom had a great smile.
Big hug to you.1 -
Allie: Have a great adventure! :flowerforyou:
Barbara: I would love to walk my dog on the beach and plan to do so when DH feels good enough to drive to the coast AND the weather is pleasant.
Karen in VA: Barefoot in the snow??? Birds need feeding, but where are your foot protectors? Our birdfeeders are all for hummingbirds. The other birds we see this time of year are members of the duck and cormorant families. They dabble and forage at the edge of the river in front of our house.
JackieM: So sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a beautiful woman with a sweet smile.
Debby in VA: It appears that you VA girls are enjoying a snow day. Congratulations!!! :bigsmile:
Tere in RVA: I am happy that you’ve found a job you love. :flowerforyou: It is nice seeing you posting here again, too.
Machka: The RTW Nazi is bound and determined to “fix” your DH’s life. I think it might be reasonable to make a voodoo doll that you can poke with pins when she is being obnoxious. :devil:
I have had a good couple of days. DH and I decided we needed a treat and went to a local Thai restaurant for dinner. I ordered a chicken and broccoli dish that was divine. DH ordered sizzling beef that he loved. We splurged and had cheesecake. YUM!!! :devil:
Yoga this morning was a pleasure. Most of the regulars were there. A couple of people were off snow-birding in AZ.

I bought my plane ticket for my dude ranch trip! Exciting! And scary too. This e-ticket thing is new to me, and so dependant on my phone being charged and available. Well the whole thing is an adventure!
I think I am going to drive to the Baltimore airport in the daylight, stay the night nearby, park my car at the hotel and take a shuttle to the airport. And likewise on the way back. I have a friend who wants to take me to the airport, but he is often late. Still working out that part.

katla - my mother used to go out in the snow in barefeet all the time. I can still remember her going out in the snow, barefoot, to hang clothes on the line

What toy was created by an engineer trying to keep equipment on a ship stable?

Michele I cheated & looked it up. Very interesting! I would have guessed something else.0

She seems to think that after 2 years he should be well again ... March 22 is the "anniversary".
However, instead we'll have a set of Drs' appointments (at least 6 of them that I can think of, but more may develop out of those ones) in the next 2 months ... testing him and checking this, that, and the other. Evidently this happens around the 2-year mark when Drs think people with brain injuries have plateaued and aren't likely to get much better. I know all these Drs' appointments will be stressful for him ... and thus, of course, stressful for me because I love him and worry about him.
He's already showing signs of stress ... more forgetfulness, more emotions, confusion, inability to concentrate or fixating on things, restlessness, etc. etc. ... basically the signs of dementia. Trouble is, it's so hard to tell ... he could actually be developing dementia because people with brain injuries apparently have a greater likelihood of developing dementia or it could be just stress. I guess some of these upcoming Drs' appointments might be able to tell.
One day at a time.

Michele: Your mom must have had an amazing ability to tolerate cold. BRRR! My mom put laundry on the line outdoors to “freeze dry” in winter, but she used plenty of socks inside galoshes to do it. We didn’t have a dryer back then.
(((Machka))): I’m sorry your DH is feeling stress because of the RTW woman. :grumble:
I’m chilly today and drinking peppermint tea. It helps!
