@frankwbrown That sounds delishes! Can't go wrong with bacon (though I don't eat meat anymore myself). The annoying thing is that the pancake mix just lists the calories for a prepared pancake, as if they know how much someone pours in the pan, what milk they use, how much butter etc. I just want to know the calories for the flour mix. I will figure it out though. It says the whole box is enough for 12 pancakes so I can at least work out how much mix I need. That's funny about the Dutch pancake. I think a lot of those translation mishaps happen with Dutch/Deutch. People compare German to Dutch a lot as well, though to me it doesn't sound that similar.
I feel you on the devil on your shoulder. The brain is crazy good at justifying things that you know are not healthy for you. It really is a pain in the behind sometimes. I try to argue back with something positive, but it is not that surprising that we sometimes give in. I am sure you will make it to your goal!3 -

Hello Shape Shifters. I had some trouble falling asleep, so I didn't make my sleepgoal this time. When I woke up, I was really happy to see new snow outside. I was so exited to go for my walk! I wish I could have walked in the forest more, but I had to start from home. I am not really comfortable biking in snow. If it is fresh, that is usually fine, but when cars have been on the road, it just turns into a slippery mess. I still had a really good time and I did a little shortcut twice because it was such a nice bit of forest.
I also finally finished the puzzle. It wasn't fun anymore at the end, the yellow was such a mess. So this one is going to get a new home because I never want to do it again! I made a pancake attempt and learned some things. Not having any utensils to flip it is not very handy. Next time I will mash the banana and mix it in the batter. This time I just cut one up and put the pieces after pouring the batter, but that made it cook a bit uneven and also made it harder to flip. The end result wasn't pretty, but it was tasty so who cares. Happy Monday everyone

Happy Monday All!
@pupowl Love the snow photos! Beautiful! And no wonder the butterfly puzzle was challenging- looks like a doozy.
@lianatherunner I use the app too. Probably why I have so many typos in my post. Once you figure out the path, it’s not as hard, but I totally was overwhelmed at the beginning. I still never could find the step chart so I post here. I always bookmark it.
I have 4 or 5 groups book marked. I go to community, then my bookmarks (scroll down to the bottom to find them) and then it shows up.
Steps: 12/3 14,208.
Took an actual rest day yesterday after my long run Saturday but ran a million errands. They delivered the tree Saturday. I’d asked for a smaller one this year because of my hurt shoulder- it’s hard to reach the top- and the one they brought is easily 14 feet!!! I’ll post photos when it’s decorated. The guy who delivered it was supposed to let us borrow a tall ladder, but he never came yesterday. It is a beautiful tree, but right now my living room is a is a disaster area with ornaments, boxes, etc everywhere and lights 2/3 the way up a tree…

I ate horribly this past weekend. Lots of ice cream and ordering food. My husband was in an eating mood and I just followed him. I feel a bit guilty about it now. I did go for a 6 mile run yesterday, which felt good, but doesn't make up for the amount that I ate. I know it happens and it's a part of the journey, but I don't feel good about it.4

I actually forgot my password and have trouble logging in on my laptop, and also, my laptop is extremely slow and sometimes takes half an hour to wake up (that is absolutely not an exaggeration) so I can't imagine using MFP on there. Sigh. Thanks, though.

Had a great morning skiing with my husband yesterday. Beautiful skies, not crowded, nice snow. Came home and was doing my warm up before my run and low and behold- I spotted a ladder on our porch! Got the lights on the top of the tree- kind of- and used a ski pole to place a plaid bow as a topper. Spent a couple hours decorating, but still not done. Honestly, it’s the most beautiful, fragrant tree I’ve ever had. No one will care that it’s not exactly decorated the top few feet.
I am so proud of myself for stopping the decorating and getting on the treadmill to do my planned run. Inspired by my daughter, who I was chatting with on the phone while decorating and she said- mom - I’ve got to go do my run… She’s running the half in Houston while I run the full. The courses are together for the first 7 miles so we will run together part way.
Have a great day everyone!6 -

Hello Shape Shifters. I planned to have a slow and quiet day today, but when I woke up, there was even more new snow! It was absolutely amazing and it would have been a crime to stay inside. So off I went again for a long walk. I was the first one in the forest and the only tracks around were from animals. It was so quiet and so pretty and my heart was very happy. At one point I thought I found a treasure chest under a tree, lol! It looked so cool. The tree log even had moss on it in the shape of a heart; look!Tinus was not as amused by the snow. He tried to find a way around it in the garden. Spoiler: there wasn't one. So he bunny hopped to the back of the garden, looked around in horror for about 10 seconds and then ran back to the house. He was covered in little snow clumps and he refused to go outside again until later in the day when the snow melted a bit and a little path showed up.
I did some laundry and changed the sheets for the guest bed which was another workout on its own. Winter duvets are such a pain to get in the cover! I also did the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen a bit. My second pancake attempt was even worse than the first (trust me, that's impressive), but it tasted better. The banana mashing is good, now I just need to figure out how to not get the pancake stuck to the pan. Tomorrows quest will be hunting for a big spatula to flip my pancake which should help.
I just finished writing 5 postcards for postcrossing. I normally don't do that in the evening, but it is actually way better since evenings in the winter are so boring to me. I just get tired of the dark and end up wanting to go to bed at like 18:00 so the postcards were a nice little distraction. They are going to Germany, China, Italy and the UK. More pictures under the spoiler. Happy Tuesday everyone
