    @lovethyneighbor ~ Happy Belated Birthday!

    @1Live2walk ~ it's in my basement. I'm giving my body till the end of the week to recoup from the move then I'm returning to regular workouts on Monday. I will have two weeks a do a little damage reversal prior to my vacation.

    @lindamtuck2018 ~ Sorry to hear that your pain has increased. Hopefully, it will stay at bay until and after the surgery. I'm with you regarding having more patience with my husband regarding hearing loss, but sometimes, it's just a little too convenient. :wink: I'm in my beautiful home, and I love it. My basic colors are light gray, dark gray (accent walls), black and white. I'm adding some color to each room, which can easily be changed if bored. So much fun!

    So *NOT* settled in I might be done in a year!! It's still all good. I used the same moving company and requested the same 5 guys that moved me. I ended up with only one of the originals and 4 "new" guys. There is no way that this move should have taken longer than the first move, but it did. In the first move, they helped me pack a lot of loose items, which required more time - assistance with packing was not needed this time. Long story short, these guys were not as efficient as the first group. The first group emptied an entire truck into a storage unit. So, it seemed likely that the second group should've been able to do the reverse and load the entire storage unit back into the same size truck. Logical? yes...but no cigar.

    It took them two "runs" to empty the storage unit. The bad part is that they loaded half the storage into our garage, then the apartment into the garage, and the other half into the garage and basement. Now the boxes are all mixed up, and it's difficult to tell which came from where. We obviously wanted to unpack the apartment stuff first, but we can't easily identify those boxes! Oh, and it rained ALL day too.... There are worse things in life!

    Where is @nachdeezy????

    Frustrating day yesterday. Got motivated in the afternoon to make a stir fry dinner with the leftover rotisserie chicken we had. Cut up these beautiful rainbow of veggies and set aside for later. When I went to cook, the range circuit board must have fried - none of the buttons worked. Researched how to fix, found a youtube video but after pulling out the stove (cleaning the fuzzy slimey gunk from underneath), and doing what they said - still no luck. By the time the repair man could come out, research what was wrong - and then possibly fix we thought it would just be better to get a new one. Researched where we could find a new range in stock - most said delivery in a week. I cannot be without a range for a week. We finally found one and will go pick it up today - but needless to say my takeout Subway (which I wasn't anticipating) dinner was loaded with sodium. On the bright side - dinner prep is done for tonight!

    My rainbow of veggies!

    Well, at least I didn't gain any weight this week and I had a nice walk his morning - nice temps but a little humid so still got sweaty so time to hit the showers!

    I am glad I went to look at the places for my daughter. The one that she was leaning towards had mold and water damage in the basement. Two of the four were very nice. In a month they will be here. Yay!

    Yesterday, I did my chauffeur duties. My other daughter had surgery and can’t drive for 4 to 6 weeks. I a taking my granddaughter to her cheerleading and driving my daughter to her physio. Today I am taking my granddaughter to a candy store. I feel pretty safe in a candy store as candy is not an issue with me. Hopefully, they don’t have potatoe chips. Not that an entirely different issue.

    Happy FriYAY all!

    When do you log what you eat?
    the exact moment you are eating? or at the end of the day?

    😁

    If I'm home, I usually log as I go before I forget. If I'm at a restaurant, I may log or I may take a photo so I remember later on.

    @scandiao For me I log as I eat (actually just before). It tells me where I am with my calories for the day and helps me understand what portion size I can fit into the plan.

    Name your favorite holiday dessert or treat you enjoy during Christmas

    Mine would be any flavor of cheesecake...

    Mine is a family recipe-Chocolate graham wafer squares. So good but so depression style ingredients-Lard, cocoa, sugar, wafers.

    I really do not have a favorite treat. I love most all foods. I'm more into tangy/spicy foods. 😁

    I had a good diet day. Frustrating experience with the range. But we finally got it and I used it last night to make my rainbow stir fry. I just took my last dose of antibiotics - I'm hoping that with a good day of eating today, and no more meds that I will see a swish tomorrow!
